MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager
FROM: Bob Waibel, Land Use Coordinator
DATE: October 30, 1980
SUBJ: Special Assessment Review, Thomas Murphy Property,
6450 Pleasant View Circle.
As indicated in the attached memorandum dated October 20,
1980, from myself to Mayor Hobbs, the Murphy's are requesting
clarification on immediate development possibilities for their
property relative to the spec ial'assessments presently placed
on said property. The purpose;of�this memorandum is not to
discuss assessment philosophy' -
but is essentially to point out present compliance
difficulty the property has with respect to the zoning and
subdivision ordinance and possible development alternatives.
The most significant difficulty the subject property has
with regard to the subdivision and zoning ordinance is that
it is land -locked and does not have frontage on a public street.
The Murphy residence and its attendant property presently
is accessed via an easement called Pleasant View Circle and.
also appears to be- potentially accessible via easement on
what is known as%Pleasant View Lane located between the Nelson,
and the McNutt--'and-Schroeder properties: Regardless of whether
or not these easements are exclusive or not exclusive, it
remains doubtful= whether- these accesses could be.:b-rought up
to a standard` because of required right-of-way and. -potential
cost of improvements to�existing homeowners along' the easements.
When taking into account all of the existing conditions in
the vicinity of the subject property, the most promising develop-
ment potential would roughly resemble that shown on enclosure no. 2
In discussing this matter, the -City Council should remain
cognizant of the fact that the attached development scheme
is extremely preliminary at this time in that the adoption
of that scheme is significantly dependent upon the agreement
of all parties adjoining these development areas, the development timing
of the properties in exhibit #2` and the resolution of site -
specific design problems Puch as the orientation of the Murphy,
Nichols, and Xart4k residences to the scheme proposed.
Memorandum to D. Ashworth
Page 2
October 30, 1980
From the preliminary information gathered on this portion
of Chanhassen to date, this office would recommend that
the Council authorize staff to verify whether or not the
problems mentioned above render a general development scheme
as that in enclosure feasible or unfeasible.

SUBJ: Pleasant View Park Residential Development, Authorize
Survey Work
On July 23rd, the City Council considered this as a discussion
item, requesting that such be placed on this agenda for final
consideration.
Staff is recommending that items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 (as outlined
in the Schoell and Madson report, attached) be completed. This
cost is anticipated to be approximately $4,000. A majority of this
work would be required should the City determine that such should be
sold as a 5-7 acre parcel for outside development. In either case,
whether sold as a larger parcel, or sold as individual lots,, it has been
the intent of the City to sell such. This philosophy was approved
by the City Council in earlier discussions when considering the total
amount of assessments against the parcel. Again, any final sale of
this northerly acreage would be contingent upon final approval from
the State - thus assuring the City that we were in no way jeopardizing
the overall grant for the park property. Again, recognizing that
there are only minor dollar differentials between preparation of the
preliminary plat and sale as a larger platted lot, this office would
recommend that the City keep all options open in a potential sale of
the property to assure that the City is receiving the best return
for its investment.
In addition to the boundary work for the northerly portion, this
office would also recommend that the boundary and topographic work
be completed for the southerly 20 acres. Based on Staff interpretation
of State guidelines and through discussions with State personnel it
is our belief that these costs would be applicable grant costs.

Re: Lotus Lake Community Park
and Pleasant View Park Residential
Development
Gentlemen:
In response to your request, we herein submit our appraisal
of cost to furnish you with the following items for work on the
Pleasant View Park Residential Development:
1. Boundary research and verification of boundary survey.
2. Boundary and topographic survey.
3. Drafting topographic survey.
4. Preliminary plat, street profiles, drainage plan,
utility plan and earthwork computations.
5. Site grading plan.
6. Compute outside boundary closures.
7. Compute and draft final plat and dedication.
8. Stake road for subgrade (once).
9. Stake drainage structure (.once).
10. Stake for gravel base (once) .
11. Stake lot corners (once).
This proposal has been prepared based on your concept plan,
Exhibit "C".
Ile estimate the cost of the above work to be between $8,200.00
and $9,300.00. In estimating these costs, we have used the same
` SCHOELL & MAOSON. INC
form as we present to private developers. In this case, we
expect that there will perhaps be some items your staff may do
themselves so we propose to do the work on an hourly basis and
this will no doubt reduce the total cost from that estimated
above. Also, if for some reason the development is not accepted
beyond some point in the normal process of completion, the City
will only be charged for the actual work completed to that. point.
We have also estimated the cost of a boundary and topographic
survey for the remainder of the property, which is to. be used as
the Lotus Lake Community Park. This work is estimated to cost
$4,500.00.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
Very truly yours,
SCHOELL & MADSON, INC.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager, Don Ashworth
DATE: October 30, 1980
SUBJ: Review Subdivision and/or Special Assessment Deletion
Request, 6450 Pleasant View Circle, Thomas Murphy
The issue presented to the City Council is whether Mr. Murphy
will be allowed to subdivide his property solely because of
additional assessments placed against it; or whether the assessment
of the property should be re -reviewed prior to encouraging the
Murphy's to expend the significant dollars associated with presenting
a subdivision request?
Background Information
The most significant difficulty the subject property has with
regard to the subdivision and zoning ordinance is that it is
land -locked and does not have frontage on a public street.
The Murphy residence and its attendant property presently
is accessed via an easement called Pleasant View Circle and
also appears to be potentially accessible via easement on
what is known as Pleasant View Lane located between the Nelson,
and the McNutt and Schroeder properties. Regardless of whether
or not these easements are exclusive or not exclusive,,. it
remains doubtful whether these accesses could be brought up
to a standard because of required right-of-way and potential
cost of improvements to existing homeowners along the easements.
When taking into account all of the existing conditions in
the vicinity of the subject property, the most promising develop-
ment potential would roughly resemble that shown on enclosure no. 2.
In discussing this matter, the City Council should remain
cognizant of the fact that the attached development scheme
is extremely preliminary at this time in that the adoption
of that scheme is significantly dependent upon the agreement
of all parties adjoining these development areas, the development
timing of the properties in exhibit 2 and the resolution of
site specific design problems such as the orientation of the
Murphy, Nichols, and Kartak residences to the scheme proposed.
Mr. Don Ashworth -2- October 30, 1980
Recommendation
A final determination as to the location of the entrance road into
the East Lotus Lake park, including potential subdivision of the
northerly portion of that property, will occur within the next
one year period. As shown in the attachments, this road could be
continued through to Highway 101 (assumes agreement by B.T. Land for
the second and third phase of Lotus Lake Estates residential
development). This option would eliminate the "land locked" and
"road frontage" issues. In the alternative, the Lotus Lake Park
entrance road could be shifted northward and would again provide
the possibility for division of the Murphy property without changing
the East Lotus Lake residential plat (assumes that this road would
not be extended to Highway 101 as shown, but would end in a cul-de-sac
on the Murphy property). Given these two possibilities, this
office would recommend that Mr. Murphy be informed that any subdivision
of the property is premature and that a one year deferment of the
four trunk sewer and water assessments be approved.

located at 6450 Pleasant View Circle,

TO: Mayor, Walter Hobbs
FROM: Land Use Coordinator, Bob Waibel
SUBJ: Thomas Murphy Property
In response to your inquiry of this morning on the Thomas Murphy
property, I have the following response:
I do recall having a phone conversation approximately one week
ago with Mrs. Thomas Murphy regarding the status of the develop -
ability of their property located east of the Lotus Lake Park
property. In this conversation, I had discussed some of the
intrinsic problems of the property with regard to access, public
utilities, assessments, etc. As a result of this conversation, I
had requested that Mrs. Murphy send a letter to myself outlining
their immediate desires for the property and, based upon such, I
would initiate the proper proceedings, i.e. variance, subdivision,
or obtain a statement from the City Council that they could use
for sales representation purposes.
In discussions today with previous City`Engineer, Bill Brezinsky,
and Dale Campbell, Schoell and Madson, it has been indicated that
the subject property, like similar properties in the east Lotus
Lake public. improvement project area, was -assessed. lateral units
for any existing residential structures and an additional trunk
charge for vacant.land at the rate of 2� units per acre. As
shown on the attached assessment list, the subject property was._
assessed one water and sewer.lateral unit and five trunk water
and sewer units.
As mentioned above, and as evident in the attached section map,
there are significant intrinsic questions as to the manner in which
this property should best be developed since it is landlocked.
These difficulties coupled with the intention of the Murphy's to
sell this property does produce a considerably cumbersome situation
when one is asked what specifically can be done with a parcel
without having gone through any subdivision or variance processes.
Again, this is the reason why I had requested a letter froin.the_
Murphy's indicating their imminent plans for the property in order
that staff and the Council could be consulted appropriately to
provide. thd `Murphyk'a: with_ 'the. 'J.nf omi a,t on that th��, neede.d.
