COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPT.
At your request, I have reviewed the various comments received to the Lake Ann
EAW. The only one that deserves any discussion, as you indicated, is the request
by the Minnesota Historical Society for an archaeological survey. The Historical
Society did not request an Environmental Impact Statement. Nevertheless, you have
indicated some concern about the property response to the request for the archae-
ological survey.
I believe the appropriate response is silence. If, however, you wish to respond,
I believe there are a number of reasons why an archaeological survey ought not be
undertaken:
1. A substantial portion of the Lake Ann PRD will remain in public ownership
Eighty feet landward from the ordinary high-water mark along the lakeshore
is being dedicated to the City. In addition, 34.4 acres of the site is
being transferred to public ownership as an addition to the Lake Ann Park:
22.8 acres is dedicated; 11.6 acres will be purchased by the City.
2. The undedicated portion of the site proximate to the Lake Ann shoreline
has been under cultivation for years. As a consequence, the site with
which the Historical Society has expressed concern, has undergone "exten-
sive alterations." Note that the last paragraph of the Historical Society's
letter specifically indicates that extensive alteration is a premise for
a re-evaluation of a need for a survey. This was pointed out in the EAW,
but apparently missed by the Historical Society.
3. The Historical Society has no legal authority to require a survey. In
light of the substantial dedication involved in this development, even if
archaeological sites were to be discovered, governmental agencies would
have to compensate the land owner for any additional lands required to be

undisturbed due to archaeological findings. I doubt that the City wishes
to incur that expense. The Historical Society has no funds for such an
expense.
Please contact me if you intend to prepare a written response to the Historical
Society's comments. If you have any questions or comments, please give me a call.
Sincerely yours,

cc: Ed Dunn, Dunn & Company
We, the undersigned, request that the Chanhassen Planning Commission &
Chanhassen City Council reject the development of Lake Susan and Lake
Ann as presented by Dunn. and Curry. We.propose that the development
submitted by Dunn and Curry be limited to single family homes with a
maximum of 2 units per acre. We also request that the green areas be
expanded to include existing wooded areas as shown on the attached
illustration; or that the illustrated wooded areas be substituted for a
portion or all of the proposed planned unit development open space in
order to preserve the unique topography of the land, continue to
provide a habitat for the natural wildlife and preserve the few remain-
ing wooded areas within this part of the City. We also ask that the
commercial areas be zoned single family residences.
We feel that the proposed development -by Dunn and Curry will have the
following adverse impacts on the community.
I. The current proposal will add 3669 people on approximately 500
acres in the Lake Susan Development and 1823 people on 220 acres in
Lake Ann within 5 years.
A. Dunn and Curry's density estimate contains discrepancies.
They claim -that the density of the Lake Susan,.South
development is 2.4 units/acres. In reality, the unit per
acre is 2.8, 447 units built on 158.5-acres. In the Lake
Susan West development, Dunn and Curry claim a development
of 3.0 units per acre. In reality, it is 3.8.units per acre,
1023 units on 272 acres. In the Lake Ann development, Dunn &
Curry claim 3.66 units per acre. In reality, it is 4.5 units
per acre.. The reason for the'apparent discrepancies is that
Dunn and Curry included commerical areas, road right-of-ways
and outlots which do not accurately represent the true land
use.
B. Out of approximately 1500 housing units planned for the Lake
Susan development, 2/3 are multiple dwellings, consisting of
duplexes, quads, 8 plexes, townhomes and apartments. Out of
-1-
�. approximately 790 units planned for Lake Ann, 620 will be
multiple dwellings. We find the number of multiple units to
be destructive to the community spirit.- Renters, as evidenced
by other communities, traditionally -have not -been active
participants in the community as they do not,have a vested
interest in -the upkeep of the property.
C. Typically planners attempt to locate high density multiple
dwelling units -adjacent to the -Central Business District, a
practice not being .followed under the present proposal. Here
multiple units are being proposed adjacent to.exi sting single
family dwellings. The adverse property value impact on
existing single family dwellings will be.substantial, due to
adjacent high density development.
D. Dunn and Curry's plans for the two lakes are also inconsistent.
The property adjacent to Lake Ann is planned for single family
development; however, the property adjacent to Lake Susan is
proposed!to.be`multiple_dwel,lings. Areas adjacent to both
lakes should .be designated for 'si ngl e ' fami ly 'devel-opment
Lake Susan residents previously expressed their objections to the
developer proposing multiple and high density dwellings adjacent
to the Planned Industrial Development and Lake during the
industrial development public hearings.
II. The proposed development will cause extreme traffic congestion for
the Chanhassen road system, especially, T.H. 5 & 101 and County Road 17.
A. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/ DOT)
District 5, no monies or plans have been made to upgrade either of
these state 'highways; yet the bulk of the development will be
using these roads as main arteries, increasing an already
frustrating congestion problem on the roads, particularly on
T.H. 5 and 101. The developers report states that T.H. 5 traffic
will be "manageable in 1990. Those of us who commute along
this route know that it is not being managed in 1980, and that it
is not uncommon to experience frequent and long delays. Con-
struction of signals on County Road 17 will increase trip times
-2-
for those desiring to travel T.H. 5 to the eastern major centers
and downtown business .areas if they unfortunately live to the west
of the proposed signalized intersection -in Chanhassen or if they
live in neighboring western communities. Chanhassen residents
who commute to major eastern employment centers are experiencing
increased trip time due to Eden Prairies' addition of intersec-
tions and signals for development. We believe that Chanhassen's
first priority within its territorial jurisdictions is to assist
Mn/DOT in assuring that trunk highways remain functional.
Present T.H. 5' traffic volumes warrant a four lane facility with
channelized intersections. The 1990 volumes shown in the report
warrant a.four lane divided facility with controlled access. -The
number -of cross or intersecting roads' -will continue to increase
with development in both Chanhassen and Eden Prairie, further
complicating transportation problems. The developers report shows
a 60 percent projected traffic increase in T.H. 5 in twelve years.
We believe that the density and financial success of the proposed
development depends on the construction of T.H. 212. At the
present time, no monies are available for the construction of the
highway and the project development process is .in the infant
or scoping stage. A recent article in the Chaska Herald, by the
County Engineer, indicates the seriousness of the funding problem
and points to continued deferment and delays in roadway projects.
Also, Dunn and Curry's.report only mentions the traffic pattern for
County Road 17, yet much of the development will enter onto T.H.
101 which is not geometrically designed to handle the traffic and
will potentially be dangerous to all residents living and travel-
ing on Hwy. 101.
B. The development proposes :in,umerous cul-de-sac and curvilinear local
roads. Few of the local streets are through streets. This type
of roadway network or development will force local or short trips
to use the major roadway networks increasing the number of turns
and further inhibiting through traffic movement. The proposed
Lake Susan Hills Planned Residential Development, based on the
- 3-
developers' projections, will generate at completion over 11,000
trips per day. Many municipalitiesarenow discouraging cul-de-sac
layouts due to.winter maintenance problems.
C. An industrial park does not necessarily mean that the people
moving into -Chanhassen will work in the community. Jonathan
is.a case in -point. It is not a self-serving community as it
was projected to be. Thus, the industrial park will only
increase traffic,. -not reduce traffic.
The multiple dwellings units will attract young wage earners to
this development. There will be limited localemployment for
this one particular segment of the working class, and the majority
of these new residents will be-forced,to-commute to the major
eastern employment- centers. This situation is similar to Apple
Valley where housing is cheaper south of -the river; yet most
of the residents must commute to northern employment centers,
forcing extreme traffic congestion along the interconnecting
highways.
III. An environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) will not be completed
until June, after the city public hearings on the development.
No plan should be approved until an EAW has been evaluated. At
that time, the EAW should be reviewed and if further study is
warranted, an environmental impact study (EIS) should be conducted.
A. We are concerned that the density of this project would have
a detrimental effect on the quality.of the lakes, adversely
affect or reduce wetlands, and destroy many natural wooded
areas.
1. Lake Susan contains an unusual lotus lily (Wild Lotus
Nelumbo lutea) that is an endangered plant species and is
protected by both federal and state regulations.
2. It is a natural habitat for many forms of wildlife such as
wild geese, heron, ducks, piliated woodpeckers, raccoon
and deer.
-4-
3. Development may have an adverse effect on the water
quality of'the,lakes. The use of deicing salts on the
numerous local -streets will increase .the concentration of
these.sal.ts in the lakes. An anticaking agent used in
conjunction with deicing salts has been found to produce
cyanide in some area lakes. The nutrient.load, nitrogen
and' phosphorous, should also be -expected to increase from
grassy area fertilization and irrigation. Retention ponds
equipped with skimming devices will not remove these
soluble substances.
The intense development will result in greater human usage
and occupation of the lakes. -Bacteria counts from this
-intense -use could easily reach a magnitude preventing
body -contact. recreation in these relatively shallow and low
volume lakes.
The Lake Susan South Development shows the developers
ponding system outletting into a low or swampy area that
is presently -privately owned. Will the residents City of
Chanhassen be forced to acquire this ponding area in the
future, or should the developer be forced.to purchase it now?
4. We are also concerned that the holding ponds and drainage
systems will not be adequate during a heavy rainstorm or
an event greater than the design frequency and will overflow,
releasing pollutants and silt into the lakes. Special care
is also needed to prevent lake pollution and siltation
during construction.
IV. Dunn and Curry state that their development will generate tax revenue.
This is misleading in that they fail to consider the "hidden costs"
of development. This development will actually increase our taxes
and assessments. The following questions need to be addressed before
any development is approved.
-5-
■
A. With the total population increase of 1,174 children, will this
mean additional schools?
B. Will we now need a full time police force in Chanhassen?
C. Will we need a full time fire department and additional fire
stations?
D. Will we need increased city employees for the extended services?
1. Who will maintain the dedicated open space or parkland?
2. Who will be responsible for the upkeep of the additional
roads?
3. Who will pay for the needed capital water utility improve-
ments, such as well fields, water storage and pumping and
treatment plant?
4. Who will maintain the additional water distribution and
sanitary sewer collection systems?
5. Who will maintain and operate the retention ponds needed
by the developer? (Chanhassen presently has 15 full time
employees and a population of 6,300 compared to Eden
Prairie which has 90-100 full time employees and a popula-
tion of approximately 15,000. Chanhassen's projected
population after the completion of this proposed development
and Chaperal is approximately 15,000.)
E. Will we need more public buildings to house additonal city
employees?-
F. Will other existing property owners be assessed for water, sewer,
and roadway improvements that may result from the indirect impact
of this development? Will water main looping be required outside
of the project area to insure adequate water pressure and volume
to the development? Will sanitary sewers and roadways also be
required outside of the project area to support the development?
We suggest that if these indirect improvements are needed, the
developer be required to pay a major portion of the cost. Existing
residences with on -site water and/or sewer systems will and should
expect a salvage valve reduction from any proposed assessment.
It is important to remember that there must be benefit in order
to assess.
IM
M- _11J al. 1
u i sect iy and i u i rec 1y, present taxpayers wi i i have to support
these increased services created by this development.
These are the concerns that the residents of Chanhassen feel should be
addressed by the City Council before any development is approved around
Lake Ann or Lake Susan.

Dear Council -members:
We, The Lake Susan Association, are very much opposed to the proposed
Lake Susan development plan. We do not feel that it is in the best interest
of the community to have apartment buildings and other multiple dwelling type
housing adjacent to the lake.
This type of development would have a very pronounced degrading effect on
our property values, and would create many hidden problems.
As you know, the city of Minneapolis has gotten National recognition for its
good planning. One of the most notable things is the way the lake shore was
developed. The majority of the lakes are surrounded by open space, then sin�--le
dwelling housing. The Lake Ann development appears somewhat consistent with this
planning technique. However, the Lake Susan plan is not consistent with what is
"Nationally known" as good planning.
In all due respect to apartment dwellers, they would not have a vested interest
in the upkeep of the lake and therefore the taxpayers would have to finance a park
maintenance crew to maintain the premises.
We urge you to consider single dwelling on all lake shore with the open space
dedicated to the home owners association, which would put the maintenance burden
on the home owners. This is the simplest and most effective method. Behind the
single dwellings a buffer zone and then multiple dwelling would be the most proper
way of developing.
As was mentioned during the phase one planning meetings, we do not feel the
community is ready for this type of development because of the current road system
which is inadequate and would create an undue hardship on nearly all the
Chanhassen residents that travel to and from the Metro area.

We can understand the contractors interest in getting the highest return on
his investment, but it should not be at the residents perpetual expense.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration of our views and feel confident
that your judgement in this matter will be for the best interest of the City of
Chanhassen.
In summary, we feel that serious consideration should be given to the
following items:
1. Much lower density on the property surrounding the lake.
2. The road system.
3. Environmental impact.
4. Cost of maintenance to the city.
5. School system needs.

Gentlemen: ZA&
In reference to the Public Hearing held March 26th
for Lake Susan, West, I was disturbed by the fact that
Mr. Dunn of Dunn & Curry chose to make several references
to the Metropolitan Council, apparently in an effort to
assure those present that his high -density developments
for the Lake Ann and Lake Susan areas were somehow the
result of pressure from the Metropolitan Council.
Today, I again confirmed the fact that the Metro Council
does not, in any way, pressure, dictate, or insist upon
the type of homes in areas of new developments. They do
encourage a variety of homes, including multiple dwellings,
but do not insist upon any multiple family or other high -
density situation such as proposed by Dunn & Curry. They
have.no objection to a new development of single family
homes situated at two units per acre, as long as it is
approved by the Planning Commission and City Council and
abides by local ordinances.
They repeatedly stressed the facL that the type of homes
in new developments remain the prime responsibility of
local officials.
Respectfully,

CONTROL STRUCTURE
The control structure will be used to restrict the rate of runoff
and reduce the amount of sediment entering the lake. The small opening
in the face of the control structure will provide the only outlet for
the pond, up to a 100-year storm. The grate on top of the structure
will provide additional outlet capacity for a storm in excess of a
100-year frequency storm or for protection should the small opening
get clogged. This restricted outlet will cause retention and sedimen-
tation to occur in the pond area.
LAKE OUTLETS
The outlet structures at the lake will be used to dissipate
energy and reduce flow velocities to prevent erosion of the lake
shoreline. This will be accomplished by one of the following methods.
First, the high velocity flows will be _directed into a manhole where
the flow will fall down and into a larger pipe at a relatively flat
grade. This manhole will dissipate energy in the flow and the large
pipe will reduce the velocity. Second, a concrete block structure
will be constructed at the end of the'high velocity pipe. The flow
will hit the concrete block which will dissipate the energy and reduce
velocity. Both methods will also utilize rip -rap at the outlets to
help control erosion.

Re: Park Locations ;n Lake Susan West/South and Chaparral West
Development Pla
Dear Mr. Dunn:
I have met with Don Ashworth and..Fran Callahan concerning the need for
additional review of the above referenced development plans by the
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission, as we discussed during
our recent meeting.
Based on the documentation provided by Mr. .Callahan relative to the
numerous reviews of your plans by the Commission, we have concluded
that additional review by the -Commission is not warranted at this time.
According to City records, the proposed park locations indicated on
the most recently revised development plans are in accordance with
the recommendations of the Park Commission. Therefore, additional
review would serve no purpose unless you wish to revise these plans.
You should keep in mind, however, that the issue of park dedication
and park fees is yet to be resolved through discussions with the
City Council, as provided by City ordinance.
A copy of Fran Callahan's memorandum, tome concerning.the. Park and
Recreation Commission's review of your development. plans is enclosed
for your information.. If you disagree with this information or have
any questions or concerns relative to this matter, please do not _...,
hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

City of Chanhassen
P.O. Box 147'
Chanhassen, Mn. 55317
Dear Mayor Hobbs:
I am pleased to inform you that Chanhassen's System Statement is
being formally submitted to you today, under separate cover. I
am particularly pleased that the informal negotiation process
which we have been using to reconcile disagreements seeded to
prove sound and workable in Chanhassen's case..
My staff has advised me that a constructive dialogue was estab-
lished with your city staff and that the informal negotiation pro-
cess has taken place in a spirit of good faith and cooperation. It
appears that this process has resulted in a substantially improved
system statement for your community.
Your city pl-anner,.Bruce Pankonin, has requested that I clarify the
wastewater industrial flow projections contained in.the system
statement. I am happy to do so.
Industrial. flow is defined as being that flow used for manufacture
and which is over and above the domestic wastewater generated by --
employees -of the industry. The domestic flow from employees is
accounted for.at the employees' dwellings and is included in the '
domestic flow projections. Only if a city has industry with little.
or no residential development would any adjustments have to be made
for domestic flow generated at an industrial facility. Secondly,.
whether an employee works in one city or another has little. effect
on the projections because conditions tend to average out based on
residential domestic forecasts.

The 1990 industrial flow of a community estimated in a system
statement is based upon several factors. Zoning and/or local
plans (such as the recent Chanhassen plan amendment) were not
used in the calculations, since we were primarily concerned
here with the capacity,of our wastewater treatment plants to
treat industrial sewage. Local plans and zoning are perfectly
valid considerations in sizing both local and metropolitan sewer.
They are not. of any particular help in sizing treatment plants.
The reason for this distinction is that a sewer line is laid down
to serve the ultimate, or 50-year, planned use of a service area
regardless of how much of that facility's capacity will be used
by 1990 or 2000. On the other hand, a wastewater treatment plant
is sized to adequately treat wastewater flow projections for only
15 years. "A treatment facility can be expanded to provide for
additional capacity when needed at a future date_
Therefore, a local government which plans and/or zones for major
industrial development and builds large sewer lines to serve that
development may not be assigned large industrial wastewater flows
for planning purposes in its system statement. This does not mean
that a local government would not be granted a revision of its
wastewater flow projections by the Metropolitan Council and I-R4CC
if an industry were to locate within the local government's boundries
Sewer Service District No. 4 had an industrial flow of 560 MGY in
1976. The 1990 industrial flow is projected to be 810 PIGY. This
is approximately a 45% increase for the service. area. Most local
governments within the service area have substantial areas zoned
or planned for industrial development. Sanitary sewers can be
designed for such development without much change in sewer installa-
tion cost. However, if sewage treatment plants were to be built to
handle ultimate planned flow, plants would be very large and very
costly. Further, only a small fraction of their capacity would be
used for many years. There is real doubt that such a large plant
would function properly with the initial flows.
Generally, there is adequate industrial flow capacity _provided in
one municipality or another of a service area. This capacity may
be transferred from one local government to another as the need
arises.
One factor which is of increasing concern to us is the need to up-
grade wastewater sludge. By reducing or eliminating problem wastes,
sludges can be a resource rather than a continuing regional liability
that requires costly disposal. Whenever undesirable substances such
y
April 28, 1977
Page 3
as lead, cadmium or similar heavy metals are introduced into the
wastewater flow, they tend to settle out in sludge and make it
undesirable for use as a fertilizer or soil conditioner. This is
another reason for keeping the industrial flow allocations low.
It will encourage additional communication between local govern-
ments and the MCC, providing the latter with some opportunity to
review industrial flow proposals and evaluate prossible impacts to
the system.
It is my hope that this information will assist you in your evalua-
tion of your system statement, and that we can continue to work
amicably together in reaching mutual understandings on such important
issues.

Projections by the Metropolitan Council indicate that significant population, housia
and employment growth will take place in Chanhassen during the next fifteen
years, requiring expansion of the Urban Service Area during the late 1970's.

' The projections shown in Table I are for your sector of the Metropolitan Area.
The projections were made beginning with a forecast for the entire seven -county
Area. Total areawide forecasts were then stepped down to smaller geographic
areas, ending with forecasts for local governmental units. The forecasting
methodology is described on page 60 of the Development Frarnework chapter
of the Metropolitan Development Guide. The forecasts are not precise in the
sense that they necessarily will be attained in the year shown. Rather, they
should be viewed as guides which express the anticipated pattern of regional
development.
The Council is using these figures for planning metropolitan facilities. A
certain amount of variation in community growth from the forecasts is natural
and should be expected. The amount of.va_rlation that is consistent depends
upon a number of factors. For communities in the Area of Planned Urbani-
zation rapid growth in excess of the forecasts would be a problem only if
there is not enough capacity in metropolitan facilities to accommodate it.
Slow-grov.rth or no -growth plans could be a problem if they preclude reason-
able urban growth from being accommodated in the sector or create too much
growth pressure on neighboring communities. The Council's major aim is
for the sum total of local plans to accommodate the region's urban growth
in a manner that can be served by existing and planned _metropolitan systems,
without overloading them. The Urban Service Area on Map 0-2 will accom-
modate regional growth in the most economical way. Substantial variations
between local growth assumptions and those listed here should be discussed
and resolved early in the planning. process.
e projections were made in 1973. Since 1973, birth rates and household
formation rates have continued to show slower Metropolit-an Area growth than
anticipated. Because of this, the Metropolitan Council will re-eETaivate
these, forecasts this year to see whether changes are necessary. L'your
community is affected by a significant change, yeu w� t be no.tifie I of it,
Viand of any resulting changes in met*-opolitan system plans.
The household projections generally indicate the number of housing units
expected to be needed to house future resideats in Your comauni t?y. The
factual need for additional housing units. includes not only growth in house-
Xholds, but also new homes which may be.needed to replace housing removed
�xdue to aging, blight, and disasters. The household projectio 6s for your
_ communi*-
.7 assume, the provision of housing for a broad range of het:sahcld
� � incomes. _
In planning Chanhassen's role in the provision. of housing units, you should be
aware that the Metropolitan Land Planning requires that each local comprehensive
plan must specifically provide for sufficient existing and new housing to meet
the community's share of the regional need for low and moderate income housing.
The plan must further contain an implementation program for carrying out the
.� housing objectives.
O
- 2 - APR 2 8 "!977
• Metropolitan Council policies emphasize planning for the provision of
subsidized housing.for low and moderate income persons as well as the
provision of modest cost market -rate housing. To assist in achieving- these
A objectives, your housing implementation program should include programs
C3 for providing subsidized housing as well as codes and ordinances that.
aermit the construction of modest cost market -rate housing. Your plan should
also identify the need for rehabilitation and redevelopment of substandard
p� housing, if this is appropriate for your community. The plans and programs
proposed by your community will be reviewed for consistency with
Metropolitan Council adopted housing plans and policies.

A. TRANSPORTr1TION
The information in this section is derived from the Metropolitan Transportation
Development Guide/Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in January,
1976 and information obtained from the Minnesota Highway Department. The
Council's Policy Plan should be consulted when Chanhassen prepares the transportati
element of its comprehensive plan. This plan sets forth policies for how metropolitan
an ortation facilities should be use and further develope pa icu ar zrrportar_
o Chanhassen wz e e policies focusang on transportation within the Urban. Servic
Areal including the Area of Planned Urbanization, and within the Rural Service Area.
Highways
The Transportation Policy Plan describes a functional classification system for use
by all counties and municipalities in the metropolitan area (Tables A 1 and A 2).
Those roads which function as principal and intermediate arterials are considered to
be the metropolitan highway system (Map A 1) . The following portions of the
metropolitan highway system lie within transportation planning subregion 4 or the
adjacent rural area and affect the City -:of Chanhassen:

Transit
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan assumes that transit and paratransit will play
an increasingly important role in the regional transportation system by augmenting
the capacity of the metropolitan highway system. To underscore this, the regional
highway. system has been planned for a vehicle occupancy of 1.6 perso
ns. per vehicle
in 1990 compared with 1.4 in 1970 in the peak hours. The Transpbrtation Policy Plan
contains a conceptual 1990 transit plan consisting of two parts --service within sub-
regions and express service to the Metro Center (Map A 2) . A specific transit plan
for the metropolitan area, applying these concepts to actual service, will be prepared
by the Metropolitan Transit Commission by the end of 1977 in its Development Program.
The urbanized portion of Chanhassen is in transportation planning subregion 4. The
existing transit service in these subregions, which has not been analyzed for its
consistency with•the Policy Plan, is shown on Map A 3. Existing bus service (routes
and schedules) is not fixed, and Chanhassen is encouraged to work, with the MTC in
changing this service, if necessary, to meet the objectives of the Policy Plan.
There are no major fixed transit facilities existing or planned in Chanhassen..
General Planning Considerations
The capacity of the 1990 Metropolitan Highway System as planned in the Transportation.
policy. Plan is based upon the population, household, and employment projections
cited earlier in this system statement. These projections indicate that there will be a
total of about 97,800 person trips beginning or ending in Chanhassen on a typical
day in 1990. All of these trips will use the local, collector and/or minor arterial
system within Chanhassen for at least a portion of the trip. Some of these trips will
- 8 - APR Z 31W7
use this lccaliz::d system only to :=a h the mecrop Titan system. However, over half
of the tri. = '.:'it : eri.gins or destlnatiors in sucreglcz 4, which includes Chanhassen,
remain within the same subregion for the entire length of the trip. The Metropolitan
Highway System is not planned to carry these subregional trips. The Transportation
Policy Plan assumes that Chanhassen in conjunction with neighboring municipalities
and the county, will plan an adequate system of local streets, collectors and minor
arterials to accommodate all of these trips.
A map of the functional classification system in Chanhassen, as
adopted by the Metropolitan Council and its Transportation Advisory
Board, is attached for your information (Map A 4). Map A 4 is taken
from a seven county map which was prepared by all the county
engineers in 1975 through the auspices of the transportation plan—
ning program. Requests for revisions of this map should be ad—
dressed to the Transportation Advisory -Board. Additional informa-
tion about these facilities may be obtained from the agency of
jurisdiction.
To analyze the impact of Chanhassen's land use plan on the Metropolitan Highway
System, the Council will need to receive population, household, and employment data
from Chanhassen by traffic assignment zone at the time the city's comprehensive
plan is submitted for review. A map of traffic assignment zones will be sent in.a
later communication.
An issue which Chanhassen should address in its plan is the future of TH S, a
minor arterial.

B. AIRPORTS
.The information in this section is based on Minnesota Department of Aeronautics .
Rules and Regulations. The existing Airports chapter of the Metropolitan Develop-
meng Guide contains a plan for a system of airports in the metropolitan area, but
due to recent changes in air travel demand and airport needs, the chapter will be
revised during 1977. When a new Airports chapter is adopted by the Metropolitan
Council, information about the planned airport system that may affect Chanhassen
will be sent to you. If the information is forwarded to you before January 1, 1978,
it must be reflected in your comprehensive plan, as stipulated in Section 6 of the
Land Planning Act.
Facilities
There is no airport, proposed airport site or search area, or aviation related facility
located in Chanhassen (Map B1) .
Planning Considerations
Even though there are no aviation facilities located in Chanhassen, any development
affecting navigable airspace within the community is subject to Minnesota Department
of Aeronautics regulations Aero 9 (Criteria for Determining Obstructions to Air
Navigation) .
In addition, under MDA regulations, Aero 13 '(Seaplane Operations) the surface water
of Lakes Minnewashta and Riley has been designated for seaplane operations (Map B2) .

C. WASTE MANAGEMENT
Information in this section is based upon the Waste Management Policy
Plan/Development Guide, the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's
1977-81 Development Program, and the MWCC Capital Budget. The Devel-
opment Guide should be consulted when Chanhassen develops the sewer
element of its comprehensive plan. Of particular importance to
Chanhassen will be the Guide policies related to waste management in
the Urban and Rural Service Areas.
Metropolitan Interceptors and Treatment Plants
According to the most recent information available from the MWCC, the
1976 annual domestic flow for the City of Chanhassen was 134 MGY
(or an average of 0.37 MGD). Due to a holdback and storage of
industrial wastewater by the Gedney operation during the last year,
the actual industrial flow from Chanhassen in 1976 was zero (0).
Total 1976 wastewater flow for the City (domestic plus industrial),
was therefore 134 MGY.
The MWCC Engineering Department has calculated for planning purposes
that the.unit flow (gallons per capita per day) for Chanhassen in 1976
was approximately 81 g/c/d. This figure yis based upon such factors
as average daily flow, amounts of inflow-ir infiltration into the local
system, low.flow, peak flow, and other factors.
The 1990 wastewater flow projections were generated using the Council's
1990 population forecast for Chanhassen modified, after review of the
City's most recent CSP to locate population concentrations and probable
areas of growth consistent with the Development Framework plan, to arrive
at an estimated 1990 'sewered' population. This estimate is -based upon
the 1974 population forecasts of the Council, and may be changed to
reflect new forecasts presently being prepared by the Council. The 1990
sewered population for Chanhassen is currently forecast at 16,700.
An increased wastewater flow (unit flow) was calculated for all local
governments whose units flow in 1976 was less than 100 g/c/d. Past
water use records have shown that increased water consumption has
occurred at a rate of approximately , g/c/d per year. The 1990 unit
flow for the City of Chanhassen has therefore been projected to be
approximately 88 g/c/d.
The 1990 domestic flow for Chanhassen (sewered population x unit flow)
is projected to be approximately 536 MGY, or an average of 1.47 MGD.
`'All of,the 1990 domestic flow is anticipated to be treated at the
Blue Lake WWTP.
Industrial flow - means only that flow used for manufacture and which is
over and above wastewater generated by domestic use of employees of the
industry. At this time, 'Chanhassen should plan on -an industrial flow
of not more than 35 MGY, or an average of 0.1 MGD in 1990. This fore-
cast provides for Chanhassen's intent to develop a 300-acre industrial
park in.the Lake Ann service area.
- 20 -
The Council and the Me,:ropolitan Waste Control. C _nission (M WCC) will
use these population and sewage flow forecasts to plan for all future
treatment works or interceptors needed to serve your community.
Chanhassen must through its comprehensive planning process decide the
I
ocation and staging of development and then design its local collection_
system to serve 'this development. If you plan a total community
flow in excess of 1.57 mgd, your assumptions will be analyzed by the
Council for their possible adverse effects upon the metropolitan
disposal system. Adverse effects would include constrictions in.
downstream interceptors, overload of lift stations or treatment plants,
impact on planned flow from neighboring communities, and other conditions.
In the following descriptions of -metropolitan interceptors, the
ultimate capacity available to your community in a particular inter-
ceptor may not be stated, because it has not been determined yet. It
will be determined in the course of a 201 Facilities Planning Study
being undertaken by the MWCC and scheduled to be finished in 1979.
Ultimate capacity in an interceptor is difficult to determine due to_
various constrictions in downstream sections of the metropolitan inter-
ceptor system and the use of the same interceptor by a large number of
communities. In developing your community's plan, you should contact
the Council or the MWCC concerning capacity available to you in specific
interceptors. '
Map C-1 shows the location of metropolitan facilities serving your
community.
Shorewood II Interceptor MSB-7017 (Existing)
Character and The Shorewood II Interceptor is a forcemain and gravity flow
Location interceptor sewer which flows eastward between the Victoria
Interceptor MSB-7019-A and Shorewood I Interceptor MSB-7016 .
The interceptor runs eastward from a lift station immediately
northeast of Lake Virginia; then northeastward roughly
paralleling the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad alignment
then -along the Trunk Highway 7 alignment to Covington Road.
The Covington Road alignment is followed southeastward to
the connection with Interceptor MSB-7016 at Townline Road.
Between the Lake Virginia and the E:ccelsior lift stations the
in+-erceotor chances from a 24 inc�, diameter forcemain to .
gra,trity flow through a 24 inch, then 30 inch diameter rein- -
forced concrete pipe. From the Excelsior Lift Station effluent
is routed through a 24 inch diameter forcemain to the inter-
section of Trunk Highway 7 and Coviny on Road , mere the inter-
ceptor changes to gravity flow through a 30 inch diameter
reinforced concrete pipe.
APR 2 8 1977
Four extensions of the interceptor project southward from
the main portion:
a) A 12 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe gravity
facility flows between Christmas Lake and Silver Lake
from the Chanhassen boundary and the Shakopee Inter-
ceptor.
b) A combined gravity and forcemain facility flows north
from the Chanhassen boundary along Christmas Lake
Road through a 15 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe
to a lift station, then through a 9 inch polyvinyl chloride
pipe and an 8 inch ductile iron pipe to the major inter-
ceptor .
c) A 9 inch diameter polyvinyl chloride forcemain runs.
from the Cha nha s sen boundary along the west shores of
Galpin and Mud Lakes to the major interceptor.
d) A 15 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe gravity
facility flows northeastward from Pleasant Avenue at the
Chanhassen boundary along the northwest side of Mary
Lake to the major interceptor.
Function The Shorewood II Interceptor provides metropolitan interceptor
sewer service for 898 acres in northern Chanhassen as well
as for Waconia, St. Bonifacius, Minnetrista, Laketown Town-
ship,. Victoria , and the communities along the southern and
western shores of Lake Minnetonka.
Timing The facility is in place and is currently in use.
Capacity The exact ultimate capacity of this interceptor and when it
will be available are dependent upon downstream conditions
of the interceptor or available capacity at the treatment plant.
The 201 study previously mentioned will provide some of this
information.
Chanhassen Forcemain MSB-7025-1 & 2 (Existing)
Character and This combination gravity flow and forcemain system begins at
Location a lift station on the Carver County side of the Carver -Hennepin
County boundary between Trunk Highway 5 and Rice -Marsh Lake.
The forcemain runs north along the county boundary to Trunk
- 22 - .APR 2 8 1X7
Highway 5, then east along the highway to Westgate Road.
From this point it runs north to Town Road and then east to
the Purgatory Creek Interceptor, with eventual treatment at
the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant in Shakopee. From
the beginning at the lift station to a point north of Mitchell
Lake on Highway 5 the facility is a 161" forcemain. From that
point to connection with the Purgatory Creek Interceptor it is
a gravity flow pipe increasing from 18" to 30" at the Purgatory
Creek connection.
Function The interceptor provides metropolitan interceptor sewer service
for portions of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. Effluent treat-
ment is ultimately provided at the Blue Lake Treatment Plant.
Timing The facility is in place and is now in use.
Capacity The exact ultimate capacity of this interceptor and when it
will be available are dependent upon downstream conditions
of the interceptor or available capacity at the treatment plant.
The 201 study previously mentioned will provide some of this
information.
Lake Ann Phase I Interceptor (MSB-7138 (Existing)
Character and The Lake Ann Phase I Interceptor sewer serves Chanhassen
Location in the Rice -Marsh Lake and Lake Susan vicinity. The inter-
ceptor is a gravity sewer and is the first of three phases.
constructed for the Lake Ann, Interceptor sewer system.
The interceptor flows east, beginning at Trunk Highway 101
and extends approximately 3,000 feet to the Chanhassen Lift
Station.
Function -The interceptor provides metropolitan interceptor sewer service
for that part of Chanhassen lying in the Riley Creek Watershed
area. At completion, it is planned to provide sewer service
for the surrounding communities of Mound, Minnetrista , St.
Bonifacius, Victoria and other areas which have their sewage
pumped through the Lake Virginia Lift Station.
The Lake Ann Phase I Interceptor sewerage floyU is transported
to the Blue Lake Sewage Treatment Plant by way of the Purga-
tory Creek Interceptor in Eden Prairie.
Timing The interceptor is in place .and now in use.
- 23 - APR 2 8 197-7
Capacity The exact ultimate capacity of this interceptor and when it
will be available are dependent upon downstream conditions
of the interceptor or available capacity at the treatment plant.
The 201 study previously mentioned will provide some of this
information.
Lake Ann Interceptor, Phase II (Planned)
Character and The Lake Ann Phase II Interceptor would extend westerly and
Location and northwesterly from the west end of the Phase I pipe to
the vicinity of the southwest corner of Lake Ann and there
terminate. The area of service is all within the Urban
Service Area and the Riley Creek Watershed.
Function 'fine Lake Ann Interceptor is part of the long-range permanent
sanitary sewer service corridor for the Lake Virginia pumping
station and upstream service area consisting of all communities
around the western one-half of Lake Minnetonka.
Timing Lake Ann Phase II -is included in the Waste Management Policy
Plan as a project for the MWCC's 1977--81 Development Pro-
gram; the Policy Plan stated it should be considered for
construction in the 1977 to 1980 time period. In its 1977-81
Development Program, the MWCC stated that further consi-
deration of the timing -of construction should be based upon'
the completion of the 201 facilities plan on Lake Ann described
below. The Council approved this timing in its review of the
Development Program and the MWCC 1977 Capital Budget.
As noted in the Budget review by the Council, by following
the planning and budgeting process set out in the Policy Plan
and the Metropolitan Reorganization Act; constrsction of
Phase II should be completed by the end of 1980
Chanhassen Area Service Needs (To be Studied)
Character and Chanhassen is presently provided sewer service primarily.
Location through Phase I of the Lake Ann Interceptor. Phase Ii, an
extension of the interceptor, is to be included in the Com-
mission's first development program. Additional study is
needed to determine the timing of further extension of the Lake
Ann Interceptor to provide a relief outlet to the Shorewood
Interceptor system north of Chanhassen.
Timing The study is included in the Wastewater. Management Chapter
of the Metropolitan- Development Guide and is part of the
MWCC's 201 facilities planning program. It is scheduled to
be undertaken in 1977. _
- 24 -
APR Z 8 W7
Pla ,ning The Wastewater Management Policy Plan cequires an
Considerations update of Chanhassen's comprehensive sewer plan
prior to construction of Phase II of the Lake Ann Interceptor.
The city of Chanhassen should work closely with the MWC.0
and the Metropolitan Council in the preparation of their
CSP revision and to determine the timing of interceptor
construction.
Blue Lake Treatment Plant (Existing)
Character and The Blue Lake Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant is
Location an activated sludge plant. It is located in the city of
Shakopee just north of Highway 101. It discharges to the
Minnesota River.
Function The Blue Lake Plant provides primary and secondary treatment
for sewage flow for communities in sewer service area 4 on the
westside of the Metropolitan Area. This facility, in particular,
was built to phase out local treatment plants that discharged
into Lake Minnetonka.
Capacity The current design capacity of this facility is 20 mgd . Current
flow to the plant from its service area is almost 10 mgd: - The plant
is estimated to reach design capacity at or about 1990.
Conditions on There currently are no limitations on a community's flow to
Use the Blue Lake Plant that are attributable to plant conditions.
However, there is potential for future interim limitations until
I sludge disposal facilities at the plant are put into
operation.
General Planning Considerations
On -Site Disposal
It is very important for Chanhassen to specify in sufficient detail in its
comprehensive plan how its regulatory system for inspection, monitoring, and
maintenance of on -site sewage disposal systems will be implemented and
enforced so that the Metropolitan Council can be assured that premature sewer
service will not be required in the rural service area . Proper installation, regular
maintenance, and effective monitoring of on -site sewage disposal systems are
local government responsibilities but there has been great variation in the effec-
tiveness of local regulation among the 190 local governmental units in the
25 - AFIR 2 a W7
Metropolitan Area. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is presently in
the process of developing standards for on -site disposal systems. Even with
the adoption of these standards, however, local governments will still have the
responsibility for professional inspection of the installation, monitoring ground-
;vater quality, and educating the homeowner on the proper use and maintenance
of the system.
The Metropolitan Council's position is that all municipalities and counties in
the Metropolitan Area should incorporate the MPCA regulations in the sewer
element of their local comprehensive plans, utilize the plan and MPCA standards
in the issuance of permits, and establish an on -going inspection and information
program on the use of on -site disposal systems.
Stormwater
Collection and disposal of stormwater runoff is a matter of concern to developed,
urbanzing, and rural communities alike. In the preparation of a comprehensive
plan, the city of Chanhassen should address stormwater runoff in a manner
consistent with the plans and policies of the Riley --Purgatory, Minnehaha-Creek,
and Lower Minnesota watershed districts and the Water Resources Chapter of the
Metropolitan Development Guide.

D. RECREATION OPEN SPACE
The information- in this section is based on the Metropolitan Recreation Open
Space Development Guide/Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in
December of 1974. This Policy Plan is available as a guide as the City of
Chanhassen develops the Parks and Open Space component of its comprehen-
sive plan.
Metropolitan Facilities
Minnewashta Regional Park (Planned)
Character This is a 400 acre regional park.
Location The proposed park is located on the northeast side of Lake
Minnewashta in the City of Chanhassen,
Function It functions as an area of natural quality for nature oriented
outdoor recreation such as viewing and nature study, swimming,
picnicking, boating, and hiking. Its service area includes
parts of sectors 7, 8 and 9 as identified on page 16 of the Rec-
reation Open Space Policy Plan.
Capacity Information is not available at this time. In reviewing Car-
ver County's Master Plan for regional parks, the Council re-
quested -that capacity information be provided as an amend-
ment. We expect this information in the near future.
Timing of Property acquisition and development is planned according to
Future- the Council's adopted Capital Improvement Program, when
Improvements funds are available.
Planning Carver County has completed a master plan for this park which.
Considerations has been reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council.
The master plan should be consulted to determine the specific
locations of activities, access points, parking, buildings, etc.
planned for the park.
Chanhassen should be aware that the master plan makes no
provisions for local or neighborhood recreation facilities to
be located in the park. Therefore, the city should not plan
to rely on the regional park to help meet local playground
needs.
The primary responsibility for policing and protecting the park
property lies with Carver County, unless other arrangements
have been made between the county and the City of Chanhassen.
