MEMORANDUM
TO Todd Gerhardt City Manager
FROM Todd Hoffman Park and Recreation Director
DATE September 12 2011 e p
SUBJ Discussion Concerning Aquatic Invasive Species AIS
Zebra Mussels
BACKGROUND
On July 11 2011 the City Council received comments from two residents
concerning the topic of Aquatic Invasive Species Zebra Mussels during the visitor
presentation portion of their meeting The minutes with the citizen comments and
responses from Mayor Furlong and City Manager Gerhardt are attached In the
conversation at the City Council meeting City Manager Gerhardt sought input from
the Lake Action Alliance LAA group on the following questions
What is Alliance s fallback plan if the proposed Lake Minnewashta
inspection station is not a suitable location for public inspections
How can the city assist with educating and training the public in
preventing the spread of AIS
What other alternatives can the Alliance propose short of gating the public
accesses
What legal authority does the city have to require all boats to be
inspected prior to entering the lakes and placing permanent gates at all
boat accesses
What happens if a boat fails inspection
What type of program can be created to ensure these four requirements are
met
Open at least 16 hours a day between 4 a m and 12 midnight
No fees charged for launching any craft
Where an access is provided within a park uniform fees shall be
charged to all users regardless of residence
No special regulations that do not apply equally to the riparian boater
How long will the pilot program last
What type of performance measures will be used to determine success

LAKE ACTION ALLIANCE RESPONSE
On August 12 2011 Steve Jenks with the Lake Action Alliance Group provided the following
responses to these questions
1 What is Alliance s fallback plan if the proposed Lake Minnewashta inspection station is
not a suitable location for public inspections
Our fallback plan is to find another site for the common inspection facility It is the most
cost effective solution allowing for 100 watercraft inspections and it allows us to test a
number of ideas during the pilot project that would be useful for a future rollout of a broader
program of inspection
2 How can the city assist with educating and training the public in preventing the spread
of AIS
Ideally the city would provide educators inspectors at each of the city owned managed
public landings during the hours of operation However we realize this is likely not possible
given tight budgets and financial pressures which is one of the reasons why we formed the
Lake Action Alliance and are promoting a pilot involving shared resources We welcome
any city involvement with the ongoing education and public awareness campaigns for AIS
threats as are being conducted at Lotus Lake and elsewhere at other Chanhassen Lakes
The DNR has banners and signage available that would be educational and useful DNR sells
these items and so the city could invest a minimal amount of money in added banners signs
to enhance the public awareness for AIS efforts at the launch ramps Custom signs banners
would also be an option examples developed for Christmas Lake are attached to this
document Further city employees could become DNR trained volunteer inspectors as many
local citizens have done and take shifts at the various launch ramps either as private citizens
or as city employees assuming that is something the City would allow support It would
help demonstrate that we are working together to address the threat of AIS The city might
also publish a letter to this effect stating that the City is supporting efforts to help keep
Chanhassen s lakes healthy and AIS free we can provide a draft letter if needed Further
the city could author a letter to the DNR asking their assistance in clearing the legal hurdles
and any other participation to allow for the pilot to move forward on the grounds that the
learnings developmental tools and process used would be valuable for developing a more
long term answer to these threats to our lakes Other media could also be employed such as
youtube and educational videos that might be developed and linked on the city s website
Generally we would welcome the city s expertise and leadership in communicating to the
public about the need to address AIS in our area waters

3 What other alternatives can the Alliance propose short of gating the public accesses
The proposed pilot program is the most efficient effective PREVENTION alternative we
have discovered We continue to explore other options but none has the strong prevention
aspect combined with cost effectiveness and efficiency that 100 inspection at a shared site
offers
4 What legal authority does the city have to require all boats to be inspected prior to
entering the lakes and placing permanent gates at all boat accesses
The City can and has controlled the access to Lotus Lake in the past for various reasons so
legal authority to do so has been established Legal authority to require watercraft inspections
is less clear but since infested watercraft represents a threat the health of the lakes and the
citizens that use it there must be some responsibility that can t be signed away in an
agreement with another governmental unit Also DNR is responsible for the waters of public
lakes rivers etc throughout the state of Minnesota and has access agreements with the
governmental organizations that own their launch ramps DNR is purported to control the
balance of and ability for the launch ramp owners to require boat inspections versus
unfettered access by lake users though this point isn t clear in the law today The Riley
Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District RPBCWD is the regional governmental unit
responsible for managing and protecting the water resources of the Riley Purgatory Bluff
Creek watershed which includes Lotus Lake As such RPBCWD also has responsibility for
maintaining the health and AIS free status of the lakes of the watershed though to what
degree it isn t clear in the law either We continue to engage with the DNR the watersheds
and others to clarify this situation It is clear that inaction is not an option as it will lead to
infestation of the lakes and other waters
5 What happens if a boat fails inspection
The situation would be handled as per the DNR s inspection processes and protocols As
such a call will be placed by the Inspector on duty to a DNR Conservation Officer and to
local law enforcement Our inspectors will not physically stop the boater but will try to
reason with them while waiting for the DNR Conservation Officer and law enforcement to
arrive A report from the Inspector will also be submitted to the DNR for any suspected
infestation situations so that any relevant follow up can be considered and conducted
6 What type of program can be created to ensure these four requirements are met
Open at least 16 hours a day between 4 a m and 12 midnight The Lotus Lake
launch ramp would be open for the park s posted operational hours of 6 a m to 10 p m
and closed during the non operational hours from 10 p m until 6 a m by a timer on an
electronic entry system

No fees charged for launching any craft Correct there will be no chance in fees
related to the Pilot AIS Prevention Project
Where an access is provided within a park uniform fees shall be charged to all
users regardless of residence Correct there will be no change in fees related to the
Pilot AIS Prevention Project
No special regulations that do not apply equally to the riparian boater Yes the
riparian boater will be subject to the same regulations as others that use the launch ramp
7 How long will the pilot program last
From the first day it is implemented through the period when the water temperature doesn t
rise above 50 degrees the reproductive limits for Zebra Mussels The pilot program would
be re implemented in the spring of 2012 once the water temperature reached 50 degrees
8 What type of performance measures will be used to determine success
Successful implementation of any DNR Watercraft Inspection Policies Procedures and
Protocols Success is achieved when the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species is stopped while
maintaining access to public lakes and waterways at the lowest possible cost Here are the
draft signs for Lotus Lake revised from signs prepared for Christmas Lake during the pilot
period

Notice
The Lotus Lake Public Access gate requires an entry code for access during the
operating hours of 6 am to 10 pm daily
Entry codes are provided to watercraft passing the Minnesota DNR Aquatic
Invasive Species AIS inspection Inspections are performed at the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park located along Highway 41 between Highways 5
and 7 from 5 am to 9 pm daily
Vehicles without watercraft require entry codes to park in this public access
Entry codes are available at the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park watercraft
inspection site
Your access code is only usable two times one time to launch and the second
time to remove your boat so plan accordingly
Lotus Lake residents must contact your neighborhood key holder to remove your
watercraft from the lake
The City of Chanhassen adopted these measures on xxxx 2011 to prevent and
minimize the spread of zebra mussels and other Aquatic Invasive Species to
Lotus Lake
Please follow the DNR guidelines for AIS prevention
CLEAN DRAIN DRY
Please give the inspectors your full cooperation

Pilot Phase If Problems banner wording
If you are having difficulty with the public access
All vehicles intending to enter the public access must have an entry code
Remember that your entry code will only work twice
You will have to get another code from the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
inspection site if you need access more than twice for whatever reason
Lotus Lake residents must contact your neighborhood key holder to
remove your watercraft
If the gate is not operating with a valid entry code that has not already
been used call the Police at 999 999 9999
On July 23 2011 the Park and Recreation Commission hosted four residents during the visitor
presentation portion of the agenda The primary topics of discussion were the operation of the
South Lotus Lake Park Public Water Access and the efforts of the aquatic invasive species
education and voluntary inspection campaign being conducted at Lotus Lake The visitors
requested that the commission respond to three requests
Enforce Park Hours at South Lotus Lake Park Boat Access
Adopt an Aquatic Invasive Species AIS Policy
Further Support the Volunteer Aquatic Invasive Species Education Program at the South
Lotus Lake Park Boat Access
Additionally following visitor presentations the commission made the following motion
Daniel moved Tom Kelly seconded that the city continue discussions with the
various homeowner associations and Lake Action Alliance to discuss
implementation of a gate at the South Lotus Lake Park access point to operate
during park hours only evaluate costs associated with gates at boat access points on
Lake Susan and Lake Ann but not connect the implementation of a gate at Lotus

Commission meeting on August 9 2011 All voted in favor and the motion carried
unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0
Staff provided the following responses to the requests and inquiries from the visitors and
commission
VISITOR REQUESTS
Enforce Park Hours at South Lotus Lake Park Boat Access Chanhassen city park operating
hours are 6 a m to 10 p m The City of Chanhassen provides public safety services through an
annual contract with the Carver County Sheriff s Office Officers conduct routine patrols of the
city including parks and respond to calls for service as needed The patrol coverage afforded by
the contract does not permit city parks to be checked daily for hours of operation violations In
a typical scenario an officer may encounter persons and or vehicles in a park before or after
hours while on routine patrol Additionally officers respond to reports called in to the dispatch
center of disturbances in the parks during both open and closed hours Further enforcement of
park hours at the South Lotus Lake Park Boat Access would require a change in the current
patrol format implemented through a policy directive from the City Council
Adopt an Aquatic Invasive Species AIS Policy To date the City of Chanhassen has not
adopted an aquatic invasive species AIS policy A variety of governmental agencies are
currently involved in the efforts to slow the spread of aquatic invasive species within the region
and state Primary among these are the State of Minnesota the U S Fish and Wildlife Service
U S Geological Survey and Watershed Districts DNR employees are staffing aquatic invasive
species education and inspection stations across the state Additionally many programs similar
to the Lotus Lake and Lake Minnewashta AIS education and voluntary inspection campaigns are
being initiated statewide The commission is in a position to recommend that the city council
consider the adoption of such a policy This level of policy development if authorized would
require the input of citizens city advisory committees and local county state and regional
governing bodies
Further Support the Volunteer Aquatic Invasive Species Education Program at South
Lotus Lake Park Boat Access This spring staff engaged in a series of meetings with the Lotus
Lake Clean Water Organization Discussion topics were numerous but primary among them
were the operation of the South Lotus Lake Park Public Water Access and the desire to
implement an aquatic invasive species education and voluntary inspection campaign at Lotus
Lake This campaign would be coordinated and funded by the Lotus Lake Clean Water
Association and affiliated groups Staff supported the implementation of an AIS education and
28

voluntary inspection campaign at the Lotus Lake Public Water Access with assurances from the
association representatives that the program would be education based and that boat or
watercraft inspections would be voluntary The city also submitted a grant application to the
DNR for additional AIS education signage to be posted at the access This application was
approved and the signs were procured and installed AIS Volunteers are trained through a
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources program utilizing a comprehensive manual see
attachment and on site trainers employed by the DNR It is anticipated that the efforts of the
Volunteer Aquatic Invasive Species Education Program at South Lotus Lake Park Boat Access
or either of the other two city owned public water access points in our community will continue
the remainder of this boating season and extend into the future To formalize the relationship
between the city and the volunteer groups it is recommended that the city comply with one of
the suggested action steps in the DNR AIS Volunteer Manual and create a written agreement
between the city and volunteer groups for adoption by the city council
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MOTION FROM JULY 26 2011
The city continue discussions with the various homeowner associations and Lake
Action Alliance to discuss implementation of a gate at the South Lotus Lake Park
access point to operate during park hours only evaluate costs associated with gates
at boat access points on Lake Susan and Lake Ann but not connect the
implementation of a gate at Lotus Lake with the other two lakes
The request to install a gate at the South Lotus Lake Park Public Water Access is broken into two
parts
A request by the Lake Action Alliance group LAA to provide and install an electronic
key card gate requiring boaters to travel to an off site location for a mandatory watercraft
inspection At this location the boater would receive a code for the gate prior to
transporting their boat to the South Lotus Lake Park Public Water Access to enter the
water
Minnesota state law does not allow for mandatory watercraft inspections except in the
event that a licensed conservation officer or police officer or authorized AIS inspector
level I and II is present and requires one
A request by the Lake Action Alliance group LAA to provide and install an electronic
gate that would open at 6 a m each morning and close at 10 p m each night
Staff does not support the request of installing a gated access point at Lotus Lake or
either of the community s other two city owned public water accesses The small

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION TO PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM AUGUST 9 2011
It is staff s recommendation that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend the City
Council continue to support the Aquatic Invasive AIS education and voluntary inspection
campaign being conducted at the South Lotus Lake Park Public Water Access To formalize the
relationship between the city and volunteer groups conducting AIS education and voluntary
inspection campaigns at city owned public water access points it is recommended that the city
comply with an action step in the DNR AIS Volunteer Manual and create a written agreement
between the city and volunteer groups outlining expectations and procedures for adoption by the
City Council
On August 9 2011 the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission hosted a special public
meeting to discuss the topic of Aquatic Invasive Species AIS Zebra Mussel Twenty seven
visitors signed the commission meeting attendance sheet Staff presented their findings and
recommendations to the commission and answered questions The commission hosted a lengthy
public input portion of the meeting and upon closing public comments commenced commission
discussion on the topic At the conclusion of their discussion the following three motions were
made
Motion 1 Concerning Volunteer Inspections Daniel moved Carron seconded
that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the City comply with an
action step in the DNR AIS Volunteer Manual and create a written agreement
between the City and volunteer groups outlining expectations and procedures for
adoption by the City Council All voted in favor and the motion carried
unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
Motion 2 Concerning Aquatic Invasive Species Policy Ryan moved Tom Kelly
seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the City

Council moves forward with the very aggressive approach in terms of timing and
developing a policy with the input of the citizens city advisory committees and local
county state and regional governing bodies to adopt an aquatic invasive species
policy All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
Motion 3 Concerning Public Water Access Control Gate Tom Kelly moved
Ryan seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommends to the City
Council to approve the installation of an electronic gate at the public access at Lotus
Lake to enforce the posted lake access hours This gate will be purchased installed
and maintained at the expense of the Lake Action Alliance group with the only
initial expense to the City being the electrical hook up Additional gate
management issues will be worked out between the City of Chanhassen and the
Lake Action Alliance group All voted in favor except Daniel and Carron who
opposed The motion carried with a vote of 3 to 2
On August 26 2011 the city received a response from the Department of Natural Resources to
our inquiry asking if gating the South Lotus Lake Park Boat Access would be permitted under
the terms of the City State grant agreement for South Lotus Lake Park The letter from Mr Joe

Dear Mr Hoffman
I have been asked to answer your July 28 2011 letter to Commissioner Landwehr You asked
if gating the South Lotus Lake Boat Access would be permitted under the terms of the City
State grant agreement for South Lotus Lake Park
In 1980 the State awarded Chanhassen a grant from the federal Land Water Conservation
Fund L WCF to develop South Lotus Lake Park with a boat launch dock landscaping and
roads By accepting the grant the City agreed to the requirements of the L WCF grant
program These requirements are summarized in 36 CFR Part 59
The chief L WCF requirement is to retain and operate grant funded facilities solely for
outdoor recreation purposes 36 CFR Part 59 3 Installing an access gate on the site would be
allowable if it were necessary to protect recreation in the park itself for example if overnight
vandalism was a problem A gate used to limit access to the lake for aquatic invasive species
control purposes would not be considered necessary to or supportive of recreation in the park
and therefore would not be allowed
Please call me if you have any questions or would like more information about the grant
program
Sincerely

which Land and Water Conservation
Fund L WCF assistance is obtained
regardless of the extent of participa
tion of the program in the assisted area
or facility and consistent with the
contractural agreement between NPS
and the State Responsibility for com
pliance and enforcement of these provi
sions rests with the State for both
State and locally sponsored projects
The responsibilities cited herein are
applicable to the area depicted or oth
erwise described on the 6 f 3 boundary
map and or as described in other
project documentation approved by the
Department of the Interior In many
instances this mutually agreed to area
exceeds that actually receiving
L WCF assistance so as to assure the
protection of a viable recreation en
tity For leased sites assisted under
L WCF compliance with post comple
tion requirements of the grant ceases
following lease expiration unless the
grant agreement calls for some other
arrangement

to determine whether to approve a
project sponsor s request to convert an
assisted site or facility to other than
public outdoor recreation uses The in
formation will be used to assure that
the requirements of section 6 f 3 of
the L WCF Act would be met should
the proposed conversion be imple
mented Response is required in order
to obtain the benefit of Department of the Interior approval
59 3 Conversion requirements
a Background and legal requirements
Section 6 f 3 of the L WCF Act is the
cornerstone of Federal compliance ef
forts to ensure that the Federal invest
ments in L WCF assistance are being
maintained in public outdoor recre
ation use This section of the Act
assures that once an area has been
funded with L WCF assistance it is
continually maintained in public recre
ation use unless NPS approves substi
tution property of reasonably equiva
lent usefulness and location and of at
least equal fair market value
b Prerequisites for conversion ap
proval Requests from the project spon
sor for permission to convert L WCF
assisted properties in whole or in part
to other than public outdoor recreation
uses must be submitted by the State
Liaison Officer to the appropriate NPS
Regional Director in writing NPS will
consider conversion requests if the fol
lowing prerequisites have been met
1 All practical alternatives to the proposed conversion have been evalu
ated
2 The fair market value of the prop
erty to be converted has been estab
lished and the property proposed for
substitution is of at least equal fair
market value as established by an ap
proved appraisal prepared in accord
ance with uniform Federal appraisal
standards excluding the value of struc
tures or facilities that will not serve a
recreation purpose
3 The property proposed for replace
ment is of reasonably equivalent use
fulness and location as that being con
verted Dependent upon the situation
and at the discretion of the Regional
Director the replacement property
need not provide identical recreation
59 3
experiences or be located at the same
site provided it is in a reasonably
equivalent location Generally the re
placement property should be adminis
tered by the same political jurisdiction
as the converted property NPS will
consider State requests to change the
project sponsor when it is determined
that a different political jurisdiction
can better carry out the objectives of the original project agreement Equiv
alent usefulness and location will be
determined based on the following cri
teria
i Property to be converted must be
evaluated in order to determine what
recreation needs are being fulfilled by
the facilities which exist and the types
of outdoor recreation resources and op
portunities available The property
being proposed for substitution must
then be evaluated in a similar manner
to determine if it will meet recreation
needs which are at least like in mag
nitude and impact to the user commu
nity as the converted site This cri
terion is applicable in the consider
ation of all conversion requests with
the exception of those where wetlands
are proposed as replacement property
Wetland areas and interests therein
which have been identified in the wet
lands provisions of the Statewide Com
prehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
shall be considered to be of reasonably
equivalent usefulness with the prop
erty proposed for conversion regardless
of the nature of the property proposed
for conversion
ii Replacement property need not
necessarily be directly adjacent to or
close by the converted site This policy
provides the administrative flexibility
to determine location recognizing that
the property should meet existing pub
lic outdoor recreation needs While
generally this will involve the selec
tion of a site serving the same commu
nity ies or area as the converted site
there may be exceptions For example
if property being converted is in an
area undergoing major demographic
change and the area has no existing or
anticipated future need for outdoor
recreation then the project sponsor
should seek to locate the substitute
area in another location within the ju
risdiction Should a local project spon
sor be unable to replace converted
253
34
59 3
property the State would be respon
sible as the primary recipient of Fed
eral assistance for assuring compli
ance with these regulations and the
substitution of replacement property
iii The acquisition of one parcel of
land may be used in satisfaction of sev
eral approved conversions 4 The property proposed for substi
tution meets the eligibility require
ments for L WCF assisted acquisition
The replacement property must con
stitute or be part of a viable recreation
area Unless each of the following addi
tional conditions is met land currently
in public ownership including that
which is owned by another public agen
cy may not be used as replacement
land for land acquired as part of an
L WCF project
i The land was not acquired by the
sponsor or selling agency for recre
ation
ii The land has not been dedicated
or managed for recreational purposes
while in public ownership
iii No Federal assistance was pro
vided in the original acquisition unless
the assistance was provided under a
program expressly authorized to match
or supplement L WCF assistance
iv Where the project sponsor ac
quires the land from another public
agency the selling agency must be re
quired by law to receive payment for
the land so acquired
In the case of development projects for which the State match was not derived
from the cost of the purchase or value
of a donation of the land to be con
verted but from the value of the devel
opment itself public land which has
not been dedicated or managed for
recreation conservation use may be
used as replacement land even if this
land is transferred from one public
agency to another without cost
5 In the case of assisted sites which
are partially rather than wholly con
verted the impact of the converted
portion on the remainder shall be con
sidered If such a conversion is ap proved the unconverted area must re
main recreationally viable or be re
placed as well
6 All necessary coordination with
other Federal agencies has been satis
factorily accomplished including for
example compliance with section 4 f
36 CFR Ch 1 7 1 98 Edition
of the Department of Transportation
Act of 1966
7 The guidelines for environmental
evaluation have been satisfactorily
completed and considered by NPS dur
ing its review of the proposed 6 f 3 ac
tion In cases where the proposed con
version arises from another Federal ac
tion final review of the State s pro
posal shall not occur until the NPS Re
gional office is assured that all envi
ronmental review requirements related
to that other action have been met
8 State intergovernmental clearing
house review procedures have been ad
hered to if the proposed conversion and
substitution constitute significant
changes to the original Land and Water
Conservation Fund project
9 The proposed conversion and sub
stitution are in accord with the State
wide Comprehensive Outdoor Recre
ation Plan SCORP and or equivalent
recreation plans
c Amendments for conversion All
conversions require amendments to the
original project agreements Therefore
amendment requests should be submit
ted concurrently with conversion re
quests or at such time as all details of
the conversion have been worked out
with NPS Section 6 f 3 project
boundary maps shall be submitted with
the amendment request to identify the
changes to the original area caused by
the proposed conversion and to estab
lish a new project area pursuant to the
substitution Once the conversion has
been approved replacement property
should be immediately acquired Ex
ceptions to this rule would occur only when it is not possible for replacement
property to be identified prior to the
State s request for a conversion In
such cases an express commitment to
satisfy section 6 f 3 substitution re
quirements within a specified period
normally not to exceed one year fol
lowing conversion approval must be
received from the State This commit
ment will be in the form of an amend
ment to the grant agreement
d Obsolete facilities Recipients are
not required to continue operation of a
particular facility beyond its useful
life However when a facility is de
clared obsolete the site must nonethe
less be maintained for public outdoor
recreation following discontinuance of
254
35
National Park Service Interior
the assisted facility Failure to so
maintain is considered to be a conver
sion Requests regarding changes from
a L WCF funded facility to another
otherwise eligible facility at the same
site that significantly contravene the
original plans for the area must be
made in writing to the Regional Direc
tor NPS approval must be obtained
prior to the occurrence of the change
NPS approval is not necessarily re
quired however for each and every fa
cility use change Rather a project
area should be viewed in the context of
overall use and should be monitored in
this context A change from a baseball
field to a football field for example
would not require NPS approval A
change from a swimming pool with
substantial recreational development
to a less intense area of limited devel
opment such as a passive park or vice
versa would however require NPS re
view and approval To assure that facil
ity changes do not significantly con
travene the original project agreement
NPS shall be notified by the State of
all proposed changes in advance of
their occurrence A primary NPS con
sideration in the review of requests for changes in use will be the consistency
of the proposal with the Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation
Plan and or equivalent recreation
plans Changes to other than public
outdoor recreation use require NPS ap
proval and the substitution of replace
ment land in accordance with section
6 f 3 of the L WCF Act and para

59 4 Residency requirements
a Background Section 6 f 8 of the
L WCF Act prohibits discrimination
on the basis of residence including
preferential reservation or membership
systems except to the extent that rea
sonable differences in admission and
other fees may be maintained on such
basis This prohibition applies to both regularly scheduled and special events
The general provisions regarding non
discrimination at sites assisted under
Interior programs and thereby all
other recreation facilities managed by
a project sponsor are covered in 43
CFR part 17 which implements the pro
Pt 60
visions of Title VI of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 for the Department
b Policy There shall be no discrimi
nation for L WCF assisted programs
and services on the basis of residence
except in reasonable fee differentials
Post completion compliance respon
sibilities of the recipient should con
tinue to ensure that discrimination on
the basis of residency is not occurring
c Fees Fees charged to nonresidents
cannot exceed twice that charged to
residents Where there is no charge for
residents but a fee is charged to non
residents nonresident fees cannot ex
ceed fees charged for residents at com
parable State or local public facilities
Reservation membership or annual
permit systems available to residents must also be available to nonresidents
and the period of availability must be
the same for both residents and non
residents Recipients are prohibited
from providing residents the option of
purchasing annual or daily permits
while at the same time restricting non
residents to the purchase of annual
permits only These provisions apply
only to the approved 6 f 3 areas appli
cable to the recipient Nonresident
fishing and hunting license fees are ex
cluded from these requirements

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
Bob Ayotte Good evening Mayor council My name is Bob Ayotte I live at 6213 Cascade
Pass in Chanhassen and I m not going to presume that you all do not know issues associated with
the zebra mussel issue but I do want to make it a matter of public record as a resident That was
planned Anyways so I just wanted to make these points as a matter of public record I m
certain that you already have it in your rucksack anyways but if I make it a matter of public
record then we can force the talking points down the road I had a I was listening to I was
going to say I had a conversation with Senator Ortman That wasn t true I was listening to
Senator Ortman She made a very key point with regard to the city of Chanhassen that it s a
center of influence and you can take away with that what you will For me the center of
influence is that it s got a lot of lakes and these lakes are pristine and we need to protect them
The second point I want to make is that when you thought about running for city council you
could not find a good reason to do it because it s a hell of a job and no one thanks you so from
that standpoint the only reason why you do it is because if good people don t do it bad people
will so that s the second point I want to bring up before I go into the specifics With regard to
because you are going to get a lot of frontal attacks on this business I m certain but when you do
consider it I would ask to make these considerations a part of your discussion and I ll put the
first one public safety Whatever ordinance you do decide to adopt if you do decide to adopt it
that it s enforceable So often we ll have an ordinance on the books which is silly because you
cannot really control it Secondly that there has to be repercussions associated with not
following an ordinance and that the deterrents associated with it must be severe So if you do go
along that path along that trail of bringing an ordinance make sure that happens I ve had
discussions with a few folks and to a point if you do introduce an ordinance you can bet that
there will be somebody who will contradict that ordinance Go around that ordinance and defy
that ordinance and do things that might even be worst than if we didn t have the ordinance
Sabotage as an example So don t think that it will not happen because it has happened in other
areas so please make that note known when you have that discussion amongst yourselves The
second point is I would ask that you also take a look at the other community experiences One
of the things that I experienced in the military I was in for a couple years was that there was too
much ready fire aim I would ask that you stay away from that so take a look at other
communities with some level of detail and let s see if we can learn from that and I ll just throw a
little dig in because I used to work with the Environmental Commission That would be a good
deal for them to dig into myself I m just going to recommend that Legality I know we pay
2
40
Chanhassen City Council July 11 2011
vast quantities of money to Roger so for that reason I would suggest that from the legal aspects
we really take a look at that and then include it in that association with the legal aspects some
effort to take in those other agents that have a vested interest As an example DNR I would
hope that this City Council and I m sure you realize that who owns the water so those parties
that are associated with our lakes viz a viz the DNR be included beyond a simple consultation
One of the things that I think you should be proud of is what you ve done in cooperation with the
University of Minnesota and other educational arms when it comes to carp Those heathen
creatures but anyways why not take the step forward and dig deep and hard to see what other
opportunities there may be not only with state agencies but educational arms and even god
forbid the feds You know there are agencies within the federal government that are deep into
this sort of thing so those are the points I wanted to make just as a matter of public record I
realize most of you you probably all know the things that I ve mentioned but I just want to make
it a point again from the community standpoint from the resident standpoint One last point I d
like to bring up and I was hoping I d see public safety here Someone from Sheriff Olson s
office but I believe there s an imbalance in water patrols in the city of Chanhassen There s too
much attention as far as I m concerned in those areas west of us I love those folks out in the
west but nonetheless if you take a look at the hours spent on lakes that a way rather than this a
way I believe there is an imbalance and I would suggest that maybe we take a look at that the
next time we have discussions with our sheriff maybe that could be brought up Thank you for
your attention and the opportunity to address you
Mayor Furlong Thank you Mr Ayotte Anyone else who would like to address the council this
evening
Jim Theis Hi My name is Jim Theis and I live at 6400 Chanhassen Road on the corner of 101
and Pleasant View I didn t know if you wanted to now or wait until new business but I m here
to talk about the 101 and Pleasant View trail and road improvement
Mayor Furlong Mr Theis thank you for asking Let s if you don t mind staying around for
that item when we bring it up on our agenda and I ll be sure to have public comments at that
time And anyone else that would like to speak on that but thank you Anyone else within
visitor presentations this evening
Steve Jenks Yeah Mr Mayor and council members and staff I m Steve Jenks I live at 7490
Chanhassen Road and I m here with to represent the Lake Action Alliance and the Lake Action
Alliance is a group of interested parties that have been looking deeply into the zebra mussel
problem and we were looking at it individually for the lakes we were engaged with and we all
came to some pretty common issues and so as we worked together we found ways we thought
would could be ways to address those common issues and come up with a workable solution to
prevent zebra mussels from in fact infesting several Chanhassen lakes And so what we d like to
do is spend the next couple of weeks engaging the City Council with our plan our proposal It s
a pilot and then what we d like to do is have this pilot proposal as a topic for the City Council in
2 weeks and so I just want to leave you with that I can spend much more time if you want me
to and I think some of you already know a bit about it but we d like to talk to you all in detail
It s important for the success of this program to have Chanhassen as a partner and that s what
we re after
41
Chanhassen City Council July 11 2011
Mayor Furlong Okay And Mr Jenks I know we ve had a number of meetings You ve
attended some and city staff has been involved more of the meetings than I ve been involved
with so I know that at our last meetings there were some open questions You and I spoke on
Friday and I don t know if there are more responses there or not but Mr Gerhardt anything from
your standpoint here in terms of the status Have we I guess one of my questions have we
received information back from on some of those open items Which were open items because
I think the reason I ask that is having answers to those are going to be will be important as to
the timing of when the council gets involved so
Todd Gerhardt We re still working on a legal opinion yet to see what jurisdiction really has
authority over the boat access and the possibility of gating that or not gating that We also are
looking for information on where the inspections are going to occur and I think there s several
other ones that I don t remember off the top of my head but
Steve Jenks Yeah I ve got some things that I don t know if this is the right forum There s a
lot of details Probably another forum to talk about it but I can answer some of those and I m
thrilled to hear that you re working on the legal issue because that s one of the requests we
would make We don t have the authority and frankly it s better if you ask the question the way
you want it answered
Mayor Furlong What I would suggest is you know as we talked about at the last meeting that I
attended with a number of representatives from the lake associations as well as the City of
Shorewood Carver County DNR had representatives there watershed districts is when we get
some of these basic questions answered we ll certainly bring it back to the council as soon as it s
ready to go It s not something that we re by any means shying away from but I think it s from
productivity standpoint it makes sense to make sure that we from legal issues and other types of
questions in terms of the process for the proposal that we have enough to talk about
Steve Jenks So if I work with Todd
Mayor Furlong I think continue to work with
Steve Jenks I want to make sure I address your questions because obviously I d like to have it
on the agenda
Mayor Furlong Yep
Steve Jenks Are you the right contact for me to engage
Todd Gerhardt Yeah I ll send you an email with our list of questions and concerns from a staff
level and then I m sure the council will have additional ones when we meet
Steve Jenks That d be great Right
Mayor Furlong Okay
Steve Jenks Thank you very much

Chanhassen City Council July 11 2011
Mayor Furlong Okay we ll keep moving forward Thank you

TH 101 AND PLEASANT VIEW INTERSECTION PROJECT 11 05 CONSIDER
APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AUTHORIZE ADVERTISING FOR
BIDS
Mayor Furlong Let s start with a staff report please We ll pick up questions from council
members and then have public comment before
Councilman McDonald Excuse me Mr Mayor I need to recuse myself from this before we get
started
Mayor Furlong Councilman McDonald thank you I apologize for forgetting that
Paul Oehme Thank you Mayor City Council members I just have a brief presentation for you
tonight Just a little background here The project is again it s 101 and Trunk Highway 101 and
Pleasant View Road which is up in the northeast corner of our community Background a little
bit for this project It kind of initiated you know several years ago We have continuously
received residential complaints and complaints from traveling public in this area regarding the
intersection of 101 and Pleasant View Road Staff has worked with MnDOT and others to look
at the intersection and the accidents that have been taking place out here and MnDOT has
assisted us on some traffic counts and some turning movements counts as well so been very
helpful in obtaining that documentation as well And also working with the parks department on
up in this location of our community There is a trail gap per se from Pleasant View Road up to
County Road 62 Town Line Drive where there is a trail gap between our trail loop in our
community and the trail within other communities so trying to address all those issues under this
one project The City has received almost 600 000 worth of grant dollars for this project
including for trail improvements and Highway 101 improvements as well so Work to date we
have met with the neighbors in this area on March 3 We did receive some good feedback from
those property owners Most of the people that we have talked to are in favor of the project
moving forward We are continuing to meet with property owners along the corridor
specifically in conjunction with easements that are necessary for the construction of the trail
along 101 so continue meeting with those property owners And then plans have been completed
as far as we can go at this time until MnDOT gets back to work and finishes up the reviews of
those plans Chad Larson is here from Kimley Horn and Associates and they have been helping
assisting the City in putting those plans together as well Just looking at some of the
documentation that data that we ve collected for this intersection Accidents are shown here on
101 mainly from 2006 all the up to present date Total of about 21 accidents have been recorded
by MnDOT at this location and you some of these accidents potentially can be reduced or
correctable with additional left turn lanes at this intersection and some of those crashes that have
been identified are those left turn lanes or rear end s The side swipe crashes that potentially can
be reduced by reconfiguring this intersection There are substantial delays at trying to get onto
Pleasant View or onto 101 from Pleasant View Road especially in the a m peak hours and you

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
Daniel I see that we do have guests today and Todd do you want to for the or the guests if you
certainly have some questions or would like to comment or present today please feel free Step
up and please if you could please state your name and your address
Tom Devine Thank you My name is Tom Devine I live at 7640 South Shore Drive I m here
this evening to really talk about the issue that some of you maybe are already familiar with or the
aquatic invasive species that have now touched 3 of our lakes here for the efforts of trying to
stem the aquatic species from getting to the 3 of our lakes and all of the lakes in Chanhassen to
become kind of a major attention point There s been a lot of media coverage There s been
articles numerous articles that have taken place in the Chanhassen media and up to this point I
don t think anybody s come in to address any of you formally about the issues that we are all
now dealing with as it relates to that But I m here this evening really to speak on behalf of or
with the permission of the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization the Christmas Lake
Homeowners Association the Lake Minnewashta Lake Alliance and the Lotus Lake
Homeowners Association and what we d like to do is to address each of you as commissioners
and encourage you to formally support 3 things this evening that we re talking about or thinking
about asking your cooperation in The first would be the direct cooperation of the Carver
County Sheriff s Office to support evenly the enforcement of all park hours that are posted
throughout the parks according to the statutes here in the City of Chanhassen The second thing
we re asking is that you develop a written plan as soon as possible and adopt it to protect all of
Chanhassen s lakes from invasive aquatic species And the third thing that we re asking this
evening is that we re asking your support in the efforts to encourage citizen volunteers to
continue to provide zebra mussel inspections on Minnewashta Christmas and Lotus Lake as
they ve been doing now since about May 15 Very quickly just for those of you that don t
have the background let me just share what has been transpiring up to this point Since May 15
Lotus Lake the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization and the Lotus Lake Homeowners
Association spearheaded an effort and has gotten 73 people trained by the DNR to do aquatic
inspections of boats and trailers and there are 14 more that are on the waiting list that have now
had to wait because of the State shutdown and I ve been told there was a few more than that now
that are waiting for the formal training that the DNR has to come out and actually conduct
We ve been trying to schedule that with them since the strike ended This is the most inspection
training that s been done on any lake in any part of Minnesota and the DNR has looked at our
efforts here in terms of the cooperation that they ve provided and in terms of what s been going
on as really a pilot or a modeling that is actually scalable to be used throughout Minnesota and a
number of other lakes and it s with great emphasize and great interest that the DNR has
participated actively and been there doing inspections and working with numerous volunteers
46
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
that have been participating in this in order to gain greater understanding of what really is
involved in the whole effort of trying to stop the spread of these aquatic species and specifically zebra mussels They have since the organizations have since May 14 completed some 550 to
600 boat inspections on Lotus Lake there On the public landing in your park there and
approximately 16 based on the data that we ve got have had some type of at risk situation
within their boat or on their trailer that has brought you know attention to the inspectors in terms
of what s going on And when we look at that that s a relatively high inspection or a relatively
high incident rate in terms of things that we re concerned about relative to transporting onto the
lake because all it takes is one boat with one zebra mussel on it to infect a whole lake And
finally up until this point there really has been very few incidences that have occurred The
leadership that s been involved within the DNR Lotus Lake and all the various organizations
We ve had no real push back from anybody that s been involved in this inspections up until this
last Friday and there was an incident that involved the intervention of the Carver County
sheriff s office but that is the first incident that we ve had since the program started and I think
we dealt with it and we ve dealt with the concerns surrounding it and I think all the appropriate
people have been told and it s been documented and all the various things that need to happen
This effort has been completely done without any taxpayer dollars up to this point other than of
course the resources of what the DNR has in terms of the labor of their people attending but all
of this has been funded and directed and carried out on behalf of all the various organizations
and the plan is to continue in that same venue knowing the shortage of both city county and state
resources the efforts have all been designed to stretch the dollars and make the dollars go as far
as possible in terms of trying to do this The concern obviously is started on those 3 lakes
Those 3 lakes have very active homeowners associations and the Lotus Lake Clean Water
Organization has people beyond obviously the beyond just the residents of those lakes but rather
they have much broader support of both those people that are that use the lake with a regularly
frequency and our issue really has been focused around trying to educate and bring attention to
what the issues really are What I m here tonight to do is to present those 3 issues Have you
give consideration to those issues at some future point here at one of your future meetings and to
roll forward and we think it s of utmost importance that you as the commissioners of the parks
take serious action right now to make sure that nothing happens to our probably one of our most
valuable resources here in the city which is our I guess it s 9 lakes that we ve got that are within
the city of Chanhassen area and so we hope you take that charge seriously We hope you look
carefully at the work that s been completed on your behalf up to this point and certainly would
welcome any questions that any of you may have at this point
Daniel Thank you Tom and thank you for taking the opportunity to talk to the commission
about this One of the questions I m certainly going to relay over to Todd is within the park and
recreation charter that we re responsible for and obviously the parks do fall into this category
and within the parks that boat landings primarily that really where there s an issue would be
what Lotus Susan I don t know we don t do Christmas because that s in Shorewood correct
Hoffman And Lake Ann
Daniel And Lake Ann And that s it right Minnewashta is a DNR controlled
Hoffman County
2
47
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Daniel Or County okay Yeah because it s in Minnewashta so
Hoffman Lake St Joe is DNR
Daniel Okay And Riley is Eden Prairie
Hoffman Eden Prairie
Daniel Okay And so I mean from that standpoint we look at the 3 lakes Lake Ann Lake
Susan and Lotus and they fall within our park system correct I know Susan and all three of
those do
Hoffman You re looking at the boat access
Daniel Yeah the boat access I mean as far as what our responsibilities from a commission
standpoint what discussions have you had with the various organizations here that have come up
and just so we have some understanding about what so we can understand what we can discuss
within what we re responsible for
Hoffman I ve been in attendance at a couple of meetings The mayor was at one of those
meetings with Mr Devine and others Todd Gerhardt City Manager Terry Jeffery our Water
Resources Coordinator and really the position of the City at this time is that we re open to
allowing volunteer inspectors at any one of these sites Lake Ann Lake Susan or Lotus Lake
The DNR has an established program for invasive aquatics Unfortunately they were out for
what most of a month or something I checked the website today It s all back up and running
and so their inspectors were gone but the volunteers through this association were working at
least during that time once they got up and running So it s currently not in our program It s not
in our budget It s not in our realm to be conducting We haven t been directed by the City
Council to get involved with the zebra mussels invasive species control The DNR has a
program The volunteers are out there All three of these landings are at public parks which are
owned and operated by the City of Chanhassen and all three were developed with LAWCON
dollars Federal and State dollars and so the City doesn t have total control over what we can do
at those sites because we have some regulations that go along with the operation of those access
points They have to be open at least 16 hours a day between the hours of 4 00 a m and 10 00
p m They have to you can t charge If you charge you have to charge at the same rate for non
residents and residents so for example at Lake Minnewashta they have to charge if you want to
go in and launch your boat you have to charge a non resident the same dollars as a resident
And you can t enforce anything at the landing that wouldn t be consistent with a riparian water
user and so if you enforce any kind of a regulation at the landing it also has to be enforceable
against any riparian property owner as well on the lake so those are the regulations that come
along with those I can provide those to the commission In the70 s and 80 s the LAWCON
funds were generated and one of their primary reasons for those federal and state funds is to
provide public water access points in the state of Minnesota But when cities developed these
access points counties did the DNR did but they don t come without stipulations and
regulations that we have to follow
48
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Daniel And within the 3 points to Tom s proposal as far as Carver County enforcement of the
hours That s obviously I guess well within reason A written plan to address aquatic species
issue here and then zebra inspection What within those 3 I mean have there been other
discussions with the council on these items as well
Hoffman Not as of yet Not at the council level Staff level there has been
Daniel Okay
Hoffman And if the commission would like to be updated on those items we ll be glad to
provide you with an update You can put that on a future agenda
Daniel Okay Let s start with some of the commission members Steve
Scharfenberg Tom with respect to the requests that you re making tonight you said
enforcement of the park hours Is that an issue that you found that the hours aren t being
enforced
Tom Devine Yeah that s why I m here in part tonight because you know we ve been told that
you know there s a desire to enforce the park hours and primarily it focuses in and around the
boats that are launched prior to 6 00 when the park is actually physically open We ve
documented you know since May a number of incidences where boats are launched at 5 00 5 30
well before the park hours and those boats we don t have the opportunity to inspect those boats
And as we started really tracking those boats carefully a lot of those are fishing boats A lot of
those are boats that you know are boats that are potential carriers and in some instances where
we have started the inspections prior to 6 00 in the morning we ve found that the plugs are in the
boat They ve moved or transported water in the boat from one lake to another whatever so our
issue really gets into a cost effectivecy issue of we can t staff you know on an ongoing basis and
all we re asking that you do is to enforce the park hours on what they are and what does that
involve Well it involves a number of things You can take the Carver County sheriff s office
can take action They can ticket They can tow They can do whatever they want to do relative
to using the park at the you know beyond the posted hours and so that issue has been kind of a
friction point It s been brought I think to everybody s attention what it is but we ve been told
those hours won t be enforced and so that s that s based on really historical precedent but the
question that comes back from all of us that have been involved in this effort is who makes the
decisions here about when you do decide to enforce park hours If kids show up at 2 00 in the
morning down at the boat landing and what to use the park is that okay Are we just going to let
that go by I mean at what point do you decide what the statute what statutes you re going to
follow and which aren t you going to follow and we happen to believe that particularly the risk
factors between the early launches of the type of craft that are going in fishing boats specifically
that s reason enough to enforce the park hours because it s an at risk situation It s been
suggested by some City of Shorewood s taken a more aggressive approach towards moving
towards a gated arrangement where the gate will be you know would have set hours It d be
electronically controlled You know computer controlled so you know you can get on and off
the lake during the park hours There s a lot of discussion that s taken place that s been some of
n
49
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
the media attention Our intention is not to is not to block the lake or whatever the usage of it
All we re looking for is voluntary compliance education and the support of people to avoid the
situation of these aquatic invasive species this go around It isn t you know milfoil we missed
on but this go around we re looking at zebra mussels and saying we want to be much more
aggressive in terms of what we re going to do to try to prevent it from wrecking our lakes And
the outcomes as most of you know is much more severe if you go to any of the websites of the
organizations it s extensive what they what can happen and it s well documented around the
country There are other places Lake Tahoe somebody started really finding examples now of
where they are aggressively dealing with this to try to preserve their assets and of the lakes and
avoid the avoid the problems and it is significant They re sharp They re hard to walk on
They re they get in water intakes They go on your docks They go you know it s a significant
issue and we here in Minnesota have much more at risk than a lot of other states obviously and
that s why the DNR I think has taken a keen interest in a topic and particularly interest where
they haven t had to be involved and spending their money and their resources where this has
happened solely at the driving of a large group of volunteers that has now come about to make
this happen Long answer to a short question
Scharfenberg I appreciate the response Then you said written plan adopt What did you have
in mind regarding that What sort of written plan are you talking about
Tom Devine Specifically you know one of the problems that we encountered starting back this
last spring is you know when you get into asking well who s permission do we need You
know we were told we have to go to the State You know we go to the State The State comes
back and says no The City of Chanhassen has the responsibility of monitoring and dealing with
that specific landing And we get into this push pull back and forth and so I think for clarity
sake and this issue is Lotus Lake you know happens to be the first one that really is confronted
and tried to set up an aggressive program to do the inspections But if we look at this with the
rest of the lakes they re going to look to you people and ask you well what is going to be your
stance relative to a park Todd just mentioned you know right now it really isn t in the purview
They re not spending money You re not budgeting money per se to deal with this but I think
going forward you really need to look at this issue quite carefully and say do you want to protect
the resource going forward and how are you going to go about doing that and I think it starts
with having a basic policy If it s educational If it s going to be a policy that s going to be to
research and bring back to you people ideas suggestions whatever A coordinated effort with
the other bodies that are affected whether it s DNR Carver County and yourselves Something
needs to be brought up and I think that you people should all probably have some basis by which
you make decisions or some basis for formulating what action plans you want to see carried
forth but right now I don t think the City of Chanhassen has anything in written format that
really describes what they re doing or how they re going about the issues of trying to protect the
resources here of these lakes here and so that s why we re here tonight is to really bring this to
your attention and say it s really a call to action that something needs to move forward in an
aggressive way because it s upon us Lake Minnetonka has zebra mussels We know that a lot
of boats go from Lake Minnetonka into our lakes here in Chanhassen and time s a wasting in
terms of getting going and developing some kind of a stance here formally Like I mentioned
Shorewood has taken a very aggressive action They moved forward They took action here this
last month You know they re interested in trying to do as much as they can as quickly as they
7
50
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
can and I pose the same challenge to you tonight is to move forward with a plan and get a good
idea of what it is you want to do
Scharfenberg Then the last item you said I was jotting it down but I don t think I what was
your third item Encourage the
Tom Devine The third thing was to encourage the continued support your support Your
blessing of continuing to see us continue to go forward with the you know with the inspections
as such Not that we feel it s at risk or not that we re not going to continue to do it but certainly
having your support that you re interested in this issue as commissioners You re interested in
what the volunteers are doing You re acknowledging the volunteers efforts you know
appropriate action to probably look at and take going forward here because I think people do
view the fact that you people you know as a as public servants are interested in what s going on
and certainly that acknowledgement is appreciated by the volunteers that are doing the work on
your behalf here in the city
Scharfenberg Now I ve been out at Minnewashta this week and I ve seen a bunch of yellow
signs on my way into the park Are those your signs Are those your people doing those
inspections
Tom Devine No I can t speak to the signs because I m not sure which color which signs are up
there
Steve Jenks I haven t been over there recently but I m Steve Jenks by the way A Chanhassen
residents I m one of the co founders of the Lake Action Alliance which is basically it s an
organization of all the homeowner associations etc that Tom just talked about The signage
that s gone up is to direct boaters as to where to go through the DNR inspection process within
the park The residents around Lake Minnewashta actually spent 10 000 and funded a DNR
contracted inspection process over there We ll talk I can talk a little bit more I intended to add
some comments of my own
Tom Devine Any more questions for me I ll let you do this part Thank you very much I
appreciate your time
Daniel Appreciate your time
Steve Jenks I won t take a lot of your time I promise The Lake Action Alliance was formed
because all of us that were looking in the spring were looking at what needed to be done in order
to prevent zebra mussels from entering the Chanhassen lakes and as we did it we looked at the
number of hours that needed to be staffed and the DNR had an hourly rate that they suggested we
would have to pay and when you looked at that it was somewhere between 25 000 and 30 000
per launch just to man an inspection person there during the operational hours of each of the
parks And frankly we don t have that kind of money individually okay So the homeowners
associations got together with their memberships I m a member of the Lotus Lake organizations
and they presented that they were going to do spot checks and that they wanted some
contributions from the folks that lived on the lake and that we hoped to slow down the progress
8
51
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
of zebra mussels Frankly that s not enough You know that s what we did with milfoil
Education Training Hoping Talking about it Studying it and we have milfoil everywhere so
it s I ve taken I guess a position that we needed to get more involved and do more And so
interestingly Joe Shneider who s in the audience is the President of Christmas Lake
Homeowners Association and Steve Gunther over at Lake Minnewashta the preservation
organization over there We all kind of found each other and had this similar idea that if we
worked together we could come up with a smaller government answer We could all band
together Save significant dollars We ll spend about a third of the money that we would spend
individually and it wouldn t cost a boater a fee to support it or a lakeshore owner an additional
fee to support it It might be some volunteer time but that would be about it So that was really
the genesis of what we were doing so what we re after is 100 inspection of the boats that enter
the water We want the opportunity to make sure to look over the boat the trailer and find the
obvious infested boat and frankly preserve the health of the lake The next piece that comes up
and the reason we talk about the non operating hours is we can inspect for the open hours for
the operational hours of the park but what do we do for the non operational hours Nobody
should be there Nobody should be in there anyway because they re certainly not launching It s
a safety hazard issue It s a security issue It s a you know and frankly it s an enforcement
issue Do we have park hours that we believe in or are they just kind of a suggestion Because
they re not a suggestion on the sign The sign says those are the hours and yet we re not
enforcing them We would ask that you enforce those hours And by doing so you re going to
validate and add integrity to the inspection process You re going to say that you support what
we re doing and with the financial challenges of trying to do it at each individual lake we really
need a little bit of help with some of those other issues Again if we do it in the I mean nobody
likes the word gate but the reality is you have to close the entry on the non operating hours to
ensure that it s not used So how are you and if somebody knows a better way I m all ears but I
actually have a quote and it s for a gate that works in a similar process to what they re going to
use at Christmas Lake Our s would be one gate instead of two and we re working to fund that
ourselves and so it would be we think we can come to the City and to the Watershed with the
idea that there wouldn t be any cost other than an electrical hook up We would hope you would
help us with that and frankly we were going to work closely as Christmas Lake is working
closely with the City of Shorewood we would want to do the same thing here and work closely
with the right people within the City Staff council mayor councilmembers whatever it is in
order to place the gate where you would want it to set it up so that it opened at 5 55 in the
morning or whatever we wanted to do to make sure it was right and make sure it would close at
10 00 at night and then if a boater was still on the lake there d be a way to trip it so that it would
open and you could leave the lake We don t want to trap people in overnight That makes no
sense at all okay so and there are other issues there are little nuances that we would have to
address but that gives you a pretty good overview The other one in our conversations with the
City we hear that there are we re constantly challenged to find a better alternative I know of no
other alternative that prevents zebra mussels from being introduced to the lake as cost effectively
and as effectively as the plan that we put out and I ve been involved in this since early April At
this point I ve probably put in somewhere between 30 and 40 hours a week on this It s a full
time job for me at the moment and so if there s another alternative and I ve heard this for
months that the City is looking at all the other alternatives Whenever we ask I don t know what
those alternatives are I want to know what those are If those are serious if you re really
looking at them and considering them don t surprise me with them I want to know what they
I
52
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
are So I would ask that someone either publish those or you know Mr Hoffman can certainly
set by me Has my email address So anything we can do to work with you We want to do that
but we re anxious to move forward The clock is ticking at 50 something degrees these mussels
reproduce and we re under threat until late August with this at least Probably even later than
that Thank you very much for your time Any questions
Daniel Yeah move on Elise or Tom
Ryan I have a question in terms of the volunteers What authority do they have if they find
zebra mussels
Steve Jenks Right They re volunteers and as volunteer inspectors they have different authority
than a DNR inspector
Ryan Okay
Steve Jenks And so if we found zebra mussels what we would do is inform the boater and we
would immediately engage a conservation officer A DNR conservation officer and probably
law enforcement depending upon the mood of the boater I suppose We don t want to confront
and have problems but at the same time we don t want to infest the lake And we would ask
them to clean the boat so that a clean dry and dry the boat so that we didn t drain clean and dry
the boat so we didn t infest the lake
Ryan And if the DNR is involved is there a fine or
Steve Jenks There potentially are fines There aren t fines that are out there that are scheduled
for fines and I d be happy to share that with you but it s really minor compared to other states
and lakes At Lake Powell it s jail time and a 5 000 fine When you cross the border from
Idaho to Washington and Oregon to Washington you have to have your boat inspected If they
find zebra mussels they impound your boat for up to 30 days We re really nice I think the
maximum fine is like 500 600 so it s in Minnesota we re pretty friendly about that I don t
think we ve really for the lake of 10 000 lakes I don t think we take them as seriously as some
of our neighbors to the west
Ryan Thank you
Tom Kelly Todd earlier you had some something about 4 00 a m That the lakes had to be open
at 4 00 a m How does that I m confused on when you said 4 00 a m and then the sign says
6 00 a m How do you rectify that
Hoffman The access needs to be open 16 hours sometime between 4 00 a m and 10 00 p m
Tom Kelly Okay some time between okay
Daniel The access has to be open
10
53
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Hoffman For the hours of 6 00 a m to 10 00 p m comply with
Tom Kelly Okay
Daniel So the question becomes whenever we control our own park hours which would be in
conflict to other laws then I mean currently our park says it s only open from 6 00 to 10 00
correct
Hoffman Correct
Daniel Alright
Tom Kelly Also to some that there was maybe a night trip switch so the boat can get back in
Steve Jenks Yep Well so they can get out
Tom Kelly Get out of the lake What s to prevent someone from in the morning from tripping
that night switch so they could get in the lake Does that switch go both ways or is there some
way to prohibit
Steve Jenks Yeah for somebody would be on the lake side of the gate and you re have to weigh
about 5 000 pounds to trip it probably
Tom Kelly Okay so it s actually sensed by the boat It s not someone with a hand
Steve Jenks I m really I m having a little fun with it but yea that s what it
Tom Kelly Okay And in terms of the electronic hook up would a chain and lock and having a
city employee go there every day at 6 00 to unlock the gate and lock the gate is that less cost
effective then an electronic hook up for a gate or is it more cost effective
Hoffman We wouldn t know at this time until we took a look at that The gate or the access it
formerly had a gate that was opened and closed by Carver County Some of the challenges with
that is they wouldn t how up at 6 00 to open it and so then people would line up and try to get in
because
Steve Jenks The phone calls would be crazy
Tom Kelly Okay gotch ya Okay
Hoffman The deputies would get a call somewhere so they d be out on a service call or a car
accident or a medical or some other incident Or in the evening and they wouldn t get down
there at 10 00 and then sometimes when they got there there would be a boat on the water so
they couldn t close it so then they would come back
Tom Kelly Okay
11
54
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Steve Jenks We tried to think about some of those issues
Tom Kelly So electronically s smarter yeah
Daniel There was a gate house at Lake Ann and Lotus I know at one time
Hoffman Correct
Daniel Correct And they were gated correct Both of them
Hoffman The parks yep The park at Lake Ann and then the access at Lotus Lake
Daniel Okay
Tom Kelly Another question I was actually running with Steve this weekend and we talked
briefly about it but I was out of breath so I may not have covered everything
Steve Jenks Not Steve Jenks Probably Steve Gunther
Tom Kelly Yeah it was Steve Gunther
Steve Jenks Okay
Tom Kelly He just told me about secolyzing inspections at Lake Minnewashta and then having
something that would be good for 24 hours
Steve Jenks Correct
Tom Kelly Is that different than what you re doing right now is that are you looking for that 24
hour sticker when the boats are coming
Steve Jenks Right now I think we would set the gate that we would propose to put in would be
set up such that it would have a key pad that when you go over to Lake Minnewashta and you go
through the inspection station they give you a code And so if you pass you get the code and so
then you can go over to Lotus Lake enter the code in the key pad Go down launch your boat
Go back through the gate Park your vehicle and then when you leave the lake again enter the
code to get down to get your boat and then again trip it when you leave so right now that s how
we would propose that it should work That s how we were looking at it in terms of not having
to staff it with people because people cost money too
Tom Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks You know we were looking for some realistically we re looking for some cost
effective smaller government answers here so we don t have to have a bunch of employees just
standing around at a gate checking numbers
12
55
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Tom Kelly Okay that helps out so initially I thought the electronic gate would only be closing
the gate between the hours of 10 00 p m and 6 00 a m but it sounds like you want it to close the
gate at all times with the exception of people that have this code so they can get in
Steve Jenks I would separate the two plans at this point in that we re still working through the
legality of being able to use the lake or the gate during the operating hours but I guess part of
our thought is why put in a gate for the non operating hours that we could that we d want to pull
out and put in a different gate later Let s put in the right gate to start with If we can t use it we
wasted our money but it hasn t cost you anything
Tom Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks So and what we would do is just there s a module for the timer for making it so it
opens at 6 00 and closed at 10 00 or whatever the hours If you change the hours great I m just
using the hours that are posted today but in order to it would be it would mean that if we could
use the gate we would send our inspectors that are on site at Lotus Lake today as volunteers in
some cases paid by our group We would send them over to Lake Minnewashta to the park to
supplement the DNR personnel during heavy peak times
Tom Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks And so we re thinking about how we do that Part of what we re doing is we re
monitoring the boat traffic at Chan Lotus Lake so we can see the hours when most boats come through What the average load is on you know like the July 4 th weekend We had some pretty
good ideas about what it s going to look like That s what we were after with that There s still
some questions about how we can and can t use that gate during the operating hours of the lake
And so as we ve we ve talked to Todd We would and the mayor and some of the city council
at this point we would love to have it so that we could use it during the operation hours but I
think there s still some legal questions to be addressed with that
Tom Kelly And my last question more for Todd Should the Environmental Commission be
engaged in this as well or is this is this more of a park and rec issue
Hoffman Well it s both It s an environmental issue obviously The park is really involved
because it s
Tom Kelly It s our access point okay Okay great That s all I had thanks
Steve Jenks Thank you I appreciate it
Daniel Anyone else Peter
Aldritt So ultimately the ultimate goal would be like to have a gate that s operated during
operating hours and post hours or would you have an inspector there full time too Both or
either or
13
56
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Steve Jenks I think most boaters would love to have us have an inspector there but it s 30 000
a year so
Aldritt Yeah that s a lot of money
Steve Jenks That s what I m going to talk to you about now But that the gate itself is no small
expense and what we ve spent this year as homeowners to fund the inspection process is no
small thing Yeah we re willing to help Willing to do certain things but we re looking for a
little help from the city in terms of support for what we re doing Yeah we want to see this go
forward and then maybe some thought about where a gate would go and how we would do it
Can we manage the non operational hours That s really what we re looking for today For this
year
Daniel Brent
Caron Just a couple quick things How many volunteers do you have currently trained
Steve Jenks 70 plus That s more than any other community than in the state of Minnesota
Caron And what s the cost of that
Steve Jenks DNR when they learned of all the interest that we had they have been willing to
come down for every single one of those They don t charge us to come out
Caron Okay that s it
Steve Jenks We bought some signs and things Thank you very much
Cole Kelly So right now as far as we know there s no zebra mussels on any of these lakes
Steve Jenks Correct We d like to keep it like that
Cole Kelly That part of I understand So the process of inspections let s say you find a boat
that s got some water in it Now do you have a heavy duty spray gun that you spray these down
or how the inspection process work for cleaning out these boats
Steve Jenks Well we ve asked again there s a DNR process I d love to tell you I m totally up
to date and I m the expert but generally speaking what we would if they have standing water in
the boat it s illegal to transport it that way You shouldn t even do it in the first place with
anything If the DNR finds you like this you ve got a problem You re going to pay fines If
they find you with a boat plug in the boat you re going to pay a fine You know if they find you
with an aquatic invasive species in that water that literally you can t see it it s microscopic
you ve got a whole other problem so what we ask them to do is take that boat away from the
lake Run it through a car wash Dry it Literally now the DNR guy at the that s the volunteers
okay
14
57
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Cole Kelly Right
Steve Jenks If you re talking to the DNR the DNR s telling you go away for 5 days You re
supposed to let it dry for 5 days so What we re trying to do is that s part of the education
process with those ones We don t want to be the hammer You know we want to be the helping
hand We re not really trying to it s not about penalties It s about keeping zebra mussels out of
the lakes
Cole Kelly Right is there a process at the lakes where you can have a
Steve Jenks A cleaning station
Cole Kelly A cleaning station but obviously the water would have to be removed somewhere
else because you couldn t obviously have it all there
Steve Jenks That s part of the trick yeah
Cole Kelly And I suppose that was part of the problem
Steve Jenks You can actually there s a lot of information on the web with all this stuff and I m
sorry Joe Shneider
Joe Shneider I m Joe Shneider
Steve Jenks You want to address this
Joe Shneider Yeah I m the President of the Christmas Lake Homeowners Association and I m
a Chanhassen resident so I would have been the 10 of Christmas Lake that is in Chanhassen
The DNR is piloting some decontamination stations at this point in time and that s the
phraseology they will use
Cole Kelly Okay
Joe Shneider Portable decontamination stations Those are not operational yet and quite frankly
I think all of our perspectives are the same You get a boat that doesn t pass inspection Get it
out Right We don t really care how you clean it Don t clean it anywhere near the lake but
get it out because you are transferring potentially bad things into the lake so so my personal
perspective is I don t care what they do I don t care if they get a spray gun I don t care if they
use bleach Wherever I don t care how they do it Just get it out because that s danger right
And the DNR is trying to figure out what to do about decontamination but they don t have a
program for it yet
Cole Kelly Now are you having problems with people when you tell them they have to go to a
car wash what s the response beer so far and
15
58
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Joe Shneider Well this isn t in effect yet
Cole Kelly Oh that s not that s a proposal
Joe Shneider This is a pilot project that we are trying to sell right now It s a work in process
right and so we have elements of it that have been blessed at various levels and we have elements
of it that are still waiting for the right kind of approval This morning we were meeting with the
Carver County Commissioners in their working session following their Carver County meeting
and we got a tremendous vote of support for it Such that they asked their County Attorney to
start working through what does it take to try to make this happen and what we were asking for
was the right to expand the inspection facility at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park to include up
to 2 nearby lakes That being Lotus and Christmas Lake which are part of our proposed pilot
So this is not done yet but you know there are a lot of issues I mean we re sitting with the DNR
this morning at the meeting We have questions of the DNR We have questions of the legal
staff Both the city the county The watershed district is we re in the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District Their executives were there this morning at the meeting as well I mean we
have an incredible level of support for this program There are gotch ya s and Todd Hoffman
knows that as well I mean there are gotch ya s here But what we are really asking for is
someone to step up and be leaders and not just let bad things happen when we know the right
ways to handle it and bureaucracy gets in the way and that was literally a statement that came out
of the Carver County Park Commission in a meeting we presented to them about 2 weeks ago
They are absolutely convinced that if we have a good solid pilot answer and they think that
bureaucracy is going to get in the way of being able to do the right thing That s horrible As I
sit here as a resident of Chanhassen as I sit here as a homeowner on that lake I think it s insane
It s just insane so you know we are looking for leadership We ve had leadership from
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District that has provided funding and support We have had
leadership from the City of Shorewood that has provided support and has authorized us to move
forward as far as we can move forward and is working with us to work with the DNR to solve
whatever legal issues or permissions we need so we re looking for Chanhassen and the rest of the
groups associated with the pilots so Carver County Park Commission Carver County
Commissioners the City of Chanhassen we re looking for you guys to show that same
leadership and take actions and I can tell you this hasn t been done before I mean we are
breaking new ground This legal ground hasn t been looked at before so we re looking for you
to get engaged We re looking for you to take action and be leaders with us as we do what we
believe are the right things Now we say that and if we would have started this 6 months ago we
probably would have had a pilot operational yet this summer We re getting very close to the
point where we may not make the window for the summer which is in my mind horrible but
we re working it as hard as we can What our message to the DNR is is very simple We
believe that this model it s going to this pilot is going to find out some things that work and
some things that don t work but we believe that is fundamentally a scalable cost effective model
that they can use for not only zebra mussels but other transported aquatic invasive species across
the state Now it may get a little fluky when you get way up in the north country and you get a
lot of lakes and not very much control but clearly in the middle and the south of the state this is
a very scalable model and we think it s the best thing that we ve seen even proposed It models
something that s done at Lake Tahoe Centralize inspection facilities and a whole bunch of
landings Now they charge for it You can pay by the time You can pay by the season So
16
59
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
that s how they fund it at Lake Tahoe but it s as Tom was saying there are other areas that are
very significantly much more aggressive than we are in the state And it s truly disappointing
Scharfenberg So just to follow up on your point with meeting with the Carver County
Commissioners today
Joe Shneider Yeah
Scharfenberg What did they at least empower you guys to do or empower your representatives
to do
Joe Shneider Well we were not in the meeting We were in a working session after the meeting
so at that point in time they can t make any motions They can t do anything Their support
was I would say as strong as we could have asked for They understood the urgency They
understood the intent They heard an impassioned plea from the Executive Administrator of the
Watershed District and they asked their attorney to work with dispatch and then get their they
asked Marty Walsh their head of the Carver County Parks something or other Regional Parks
They asked Marty to make sure this got on the agenda again at the Carver County Park
Commission meeting that s coming up in early August So they wanted action taken on this
Scharfenberg Have you talked to other nearby I know you ve talked to Shorewood s obviously
doing something Has anybody or is homeowners on Lake Riley are they doing anything
Joe Shneider I would tell you I m not aware
Steve Jenks I ve talked with them a little bit They re in the early stages and they re paying
attention to what we re doing
Joe Shneider I mean we are clearly breaking ground More lakes we bring into a pilot the
harder it becomes so we ve tried to keep it as small as we can We ve really tried to have
Chanhassen in it but we can t get the traction yet that we would like to have So right now if the
pilot were to get if it were to get blessing from every place it needs with the DNR and looking at
Carver County Parks etc Lotus Lake would not be in it It would just be Christmas and Lake
Minnewashta And that s disappointing
Tom Kelly Anybody know what the cost of the gate is at Christmas Lake
Joe Shneider Yeah Christmas Lake because I placed the order I do know what the cost of the
gate is For the gate shipping installation it is about 18 500 Now that represents two gates
fully installed It s an entry gate with all the capabilities that Steve talked about Key pads and
car codes and all that good stuff and an exit gate that s automatic And the reason we need two
gates is the physical design of the landing is different than the physical design of the landing at
Lotus Lake At South Lotus Lake Park It s just a different physical construct and one gate
doesn t work at Christmas
Tom Kelly And does that include the electronics as well or is it just the gate
17
60
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Joe Shneider Yeah
Tom Kelly That s everything you need
Joe Shneider Yeah That includes 100 key cards if we wanted to give them out and I don t
want to give out 100 key cards
Aldritt And those gates will be in operation during operating hours too
Joe Shneider At Christmas Lake they would be exactly the same way that right now they
would be operated exactly the same way Steve described for Lotus which is they would just
control operating hours Open at 4 00 Closed at 10 00
Audience 6 00
Joe Shneider Well our s are 4 00 to 10 00
Daniel So just open and close and that s it right now
Joe Shneider That s it but it will have all the electronics to do
Daniel To meet some of the future proposals that you re looking to do which includes a
centralized inspection area
Joe Shneider Right
Daniel And with a similar plan to go
Joe Shneider What we didn t choose what options we didn t choose were any of the
telecommunications options to have it communicate with a central facility so that the numbers
were automatically transferred and all that stuff We re taking the sneaking that approach on this
one because we were trying to do a pilot Keep the costs down
Aldritt What allowed you to go so far with the City of Shorewood or why were they so they
have extra funding or what was in there
Joe Shneider No this isn t costing the City of Shorewood anything other than the electric
hook up
Aldritt Okay And they were just more open to ideas and able to kind of work in
Joe Shneider They are just they are just that minded that They have that perspective that what
the DNR is doing is simply not enough And that we brought them a viable option and I think
that s really it

Tom Kelly To go back on something I think someone had said earlier For Lotus would you
need help for the cost of the gate or now I m confused on that I thought you said no but now
what you may have said yes later on
Joe Shneider 1 d be thrilled to have a white knight or somebody in the city that said yeah we d
fund half the gate because you know what I d say I d do it right now I have the money
Tom Kelly Okay
Joe Shneider The reality is I m not waiting anymore I m soliciting funds and I m after a way
to pay for it because I don t want the City to have a way to say geez money s a problem Steve
We can t do it If you guys are going to say no I m going to take that argument away from you
That s my objective so we want to pay for it
Steve Jenks If we set up our gate it doesn t cost the City a dime other than the electric hook up
Joe Shneider Yep and we hope to mirror that Call me in a week I think I have an answer
Tom Devine If I could just point out you know the issue of the gate We have not explored all
the options of paying for it There s the issue of doing donations There were also issues that
you get into in terms of enforcement if the gate is damaged Let s say somebody maliciously
damages it If they re caught If it s public property there s a whole set of protocols If it s
private property meaning it belongs to the association or something different protocols So all
of these issues you know all have to ironed out and as Joe mentioned you know the issue here of
going forward really gets to be an issue of you know we re breaking new ground We re trying
to do something that we think is in the best interest of all 23 000 residents of Chanhassen to
preserve the asset And obviously as these issues unfold we don t know what we don t know
right now and the more people you talk to the more unknowns you kind of start to uncover But
the point is is you ve got to start somewhere and you ve got to start to take at baby steps and the
idea of doing a pilot as they were talking about here you know it became clear to us 3 weeks or
a month ago that Christmas was going to that Shorewood was going to get ahead of Chanhassen
in terms of being open to doing a pilot and trying to get something started And so to that end we
are you know part of my reason for being here 23 year resident of Chanhassen is to get the ball
rolling in your court here and I do believe it falls within your purview from what I do
understand to initiate an action Direct staff Direct here with the council You get a process
going so the City of Chanhassen has a vision of what it is they want to do or not do Maybe the
vision is to do nothing We don t think that obviously that s the correct vision but the point is
you need to do something and you need to take action You need to decide what your path is
going to be so whether it s a gate just for controlling the hours Whether we get into a common
area inspection for all Chanhassen lakes That might be a possibility We don t know right now
The whole thing is to get started on a process and to engage people into intelligent discussions
about what the options are what the costs are and all the various possibilities So I just you
know we re here tonight to really bring this to your attention to what information you ve already
been provided on this Media isn t the best source although it has been a very very impactful
issue for the media and the media has drawn attention to Chanhassen and if any of you are asked
part of what you need to be able to do is to talk intelligently about what it is you re doing
19
62
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
because you people probably any one of you could be the next step in the media inquiries in
terms of what s going on and you want to be ready You don t want to be caught off guard in
terms of how you want to respond to these people publicly Many of us as we ve been going
through this process haven t necessarily been ready for media attention but because of the
efforts and because of the amount of outpouring that we ve had the amount of effort that s gone
on and the reaction back from the DNR in terms of the number of people and the fact that they
believe that it s scalable for you know all 14 000 lakes in Minnesota has obviously drawn much
more attention than we probably even wanted at this point because we had not been able to pilot
enough to really understand the up s and down s and the good and the bad of all the issues so
hopefully that s what we re driving you to do tonight is to say well we d better get going and do
something here We better understand what the issues are and work cooperatively with the
various units within the city and then obviously the partners within Carver County and within the
DNR and the State and so on and the various associations have already picked up the slack and
have been running with it I think it takes a concerted effort of all of us to make sure that we try
to put something onto a path so that it s a positive outcome for everybody involved and it looks
you know it looks favorably upon the city and it comes about in such a manner that it isn t a
negative in terms of how it s presented you know by the various media sources and what not So
I share with you that I don t know if there s any other questions I don t know if there s
anybody else that wants to say anything but again I thank you for your time and we re obviously
interested in feedback
Daniel Well again I can t thank you both Tom Steve and Joe your time to talk to us about
talk to us passionately about this issue and certainly the concerns and as far as also the actions
that you guys want to take forward with the commission here Todd I guess the main concern I
have is this body our commission meets once a month so any action that we do take would still
delay them another month That s why I m curious and I m sure the rest of the commission is
curious as to the council s position and obviously I think Tom you mentioned you ve had some
discussion Possibly I think somebody had talked with the mayor about this and because they
meet every other week don t they
Hoffman The council meets yeah they did not have a meeting this last night
Daniel Yeah so I guess you know certainly that s we re nothing more than a recommendation
body for and acting on behalf of the city council and again our next meeting will be in August
and I think that you guys obviously want to take some action well before then We would you
know I think it s important for us to certainly we can talk amongst ourselves but any motion
that we would put forward certainly and feedback that question won t come back until August
so I guess any direction that we have if there s any concerns amongst the commission members
here is that it needs to go directly and expeditiously to the council to address it if there s
something that s going to get in action this year Do you agree Todd I mean it s
Hoffman The council has not addressed this issue or had it on their agenda Protocol calls that
if there s a visitor presentation at a commission meeting then if you want some action taken then
you direct staff to create some sort of a plan or a report for your next meeting If you want to
call a second meeting in August you can do that Then we would report back Notify the
affected property owners and interested parties and then talk about it at that time
20
63
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Daniel Okay So quick discussions here Thoughts
Ryan Can we get do you have the written plan for the pilot that we can all see That you could
email it to all of us or
Steve Jenks I ll get your email address
Tom Devine There was an electronic version of the presentation that was given to the City of
Chanhassen last month and we d be happy to forward that onto you all of you if you want
Ryan Just to help move things along with the review process I think would be helpful
Cole Kelly Steve and or Tom what I m gathering is what you re really requesting tonight is
electronic hook up and the okay to put in a fence or a gate excuse me
Steve Jenks I guess if I was going to ask for anything beyond that it would just be some sort of
acknowledgement and voicing support for what we re trying to accomplish
Cole Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks Rather than I guess when people come and ask me how we re doing with the
various governmental bodies I tell them Shorewood s with us I tell them Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District is with us I tell them Riley Purgatory s still talking about studying it I tell
them that I don t know where Chanhassen that we presented to Chan many times and we ve
talked to them and we just keep getting questions but there s no proactivity within the City of
Chan and I m sorry but that s where it s been since April We haven t in my mind we ve made
no actions step progress since April and that s just not good enough We need action steps
Tom Devine You know in terms of you know asking me if I came here specifically tonight to
look for the enforcement There s things that you can do to start the enforcement tomorrow if
you want to direct the sheriff s office to have a recommendation They can manually without
any gates or anything start enforcing the hours They can write tickets on cars that are there
before 6 00 or cars that are there after 10 00 and I notice like in the blotter section of the
Chanhassen Villager here just this last week there was 11 45 there was some incident with some
kids in the park I mean you know they can deal with that The sheriff s office can deal with
that and you can deal with you can deal with cars early or late on park hours immediately That
requires no gate to do that There s a better way or maybe a more efficient way to do it with a
gate and whatever but I m not asking that tonight I m just saying you guys can start following
a procedure that s you know statute procedures that are in place Follow your postings and just
decide you want to go ahead and do that now versus ignoring that and not doing anything about
it and that would be helpful for us because then we don t have to worry about trying to staff
people in non park hours which is troublesome and you know burdensome for us And then the
second thing is you know a plan What is your plan And I guess I m suggesting to you guys
that you should talk amongst yourselves and decide between now and I realize that you ve got
protocols You have an agenda You know we come here at visitor presentations You have to
21
64
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
come next month or you know if it has to be talked about You know between now and month
from now you guys should maybe talk amongst yourselves and decide do you want to have a
plan Do you want to stand behind a document or whatever it is that you want to do Be
supportive Not supportive You know whatever it may be and I think that really falls into your
hands and your staffs hands to figure out what it is you want to do Then the third thing was just
to be you know to be supportive of what s going on or at least to maybe acknowledge that in
some fashion and if you have to wait 30 days to do that I think certainly it s good politics to
acknowledge the efforts of a good many citizens of Chanhassen and what they ve done on behalf
of the parks here in the city of Chanhassen to advance this whole situation and move it forward
The other issues and all of what we re talking about I think are specific Very specific directed
issues that are going to have to be taken apart and sorted through and gone through Obviously
I d love to have you say yeah we re all going to vote a gate tonight but I don t think that would
be prudent at this point with your lack of knowledge or your lack of understanding of really what
the cause effect you know of that decision might be But those three simple things you can do
without a lot of belaboring here and certainly between now and next month you there isn t any
one of those three things that you could act on and that s why I left the simplicity there so it
wouldn t become burdensome to any of you
Aldritt I have a question for Todd I think For the electrical hook up would have come out of
the park fund or how would that be paid for
Hoffman I don t know at this point
Scharfenberg Todd just a question with respect to Tom s comment about just enforcement of
the park hours Can you elaborate on what the sheriff s office does in terms of enforcement of
park hours at this time
Hoffman Sure I d be glad to You know that s a complex but a simple issue There are
dozens if not hundreds of city ordinances or regulations that are on the books that aren t enforced
on a daily basis in our community so it really becomes a selective enforcement situation so we
have 34 parks in our community At 10 00 at night we can t expect that Carver County sheriffs
officer is going to drive through each one of those parks and find out if anyone is there or not
Now selectively you can instruct and in this case it would be the City Council or the City
Manager to send a Carver County deputy to Lotus Lake at 5 00 a m or 5 30 a m I m sure you
could do that but current protocol would not call for that If there s a disturbance in a park
before 6 00 a m if there s a disturbance in a park after 10 00 p m that is called in officers are
going to respond to that and they re going to enforce the situation based on that you re in that
park before hours or after hours But to have the expectation that all the policies all the
ordinances on the books are going to be enforced unilaterally is just not a realistic expectation in
our community
Scharfenberg Currently if someone s in the park or they re going in early is anything done
about that
Hoffman If there s some kind of a call Currently I don t know you d have to check the
records to see if there are any Currently they re probably not doing a whole lot unless there s
22
65
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
some kind of disturbance We have people that fish at all of our landings before 6 00 a m We
have people that swim for triathlon training at all of our park accesses before 6 00 a m so there s
a lot of things going on in our parks especially in the summer It gets light at 5 00 5 30 and
there s people out recreating so again it would have to be a selective enforcement to go down
and say okay because of the zebra mussel issue because of the inspection issue we don t want
people here before the 6 00 a m opening so again that would be a policy issue that the council
would have to address
Steve Jenks Can I make one more comment The comment about the enforcement and the
difficulty in terms of that the sheriff s department can t be there to open the gate or to close it
and enforcement being spotty It s selective or well it s less than 100 in terms of a particular
process That s one of the things the gate would allow you to implement It would be on a timer
and it would just happen automatically so one of the things and I know you just heard that we re
not asking you for a gate I m going to ask you if you wouldn t mind to send a recommendation
that the City be prepared to implement the gate if one is provided at no cost to the City And my
thought I m the guy doing the funding I m going to tell you I want to donate the gate to the
City It ll be the City s gate I would like you to run the electrical and manage it the way you
see fit We re partners in this You know I don t want to own the gate on city property That
sounds like a complication I don t need to introduce okay I m a Chan resident I own the gate
anyway so I want to work together with you on that so if you can help us with that that helps us
with timing and maybe that s something that you can consider Thank you
Daniel Thank you Steve Other discussion It certainly is an interesting proposal that you guys
have put together I think when it comes to the enforcement of the hours I m certainly interested
in hearing if any other commission member wants to make a proposal to whether it be city
manager or council for you know enforcement whether it be a short period of time during the
summer hours Whatever maybe early fall Whatever the boating period of time We can
certainly have that discussion Again a suggestion and follow through would be two different
issues With regards to support especially from the commission I don t know if myself
personally I agree that the efforts of trying to do again minimize I like the key word and I think
all of us in this area here appreciate that is minimizing government and certainly having an
association that s willing to donate capital equipment If the City s willing to provide certain as
you call electrical hook up s to support that But once it s on city property we ve got other
issues such as maintenance and all that other stuff that s another thing that Todd acknowledged
to take into consideration Whether it be a park bench or a gate all of them fall in the same area
so I hope everyone understands that And we d love to take a lot of freebies but then there s the
responsibility of the equipment afterwards I agree that certainly a gate is a sensible solution to
what you guys are trying to accomplish I d be interested to hear how the community feels from
a centralized inspection standpoint right now That one is curious and I realize other states
Tahoe or I don t know whoever may be doing something similar but there s a high level of
expectation on access to our lakes and I guess trying to retrain everyone to think a little bit
differently and that does take time That will never happen overnight so that one 1 d be curious
to see what happens but I think again as far as the sensible solution on maintaining park hours
the question I do have Todd is would this be a access boat access gate or would it be a park
gate
23
66
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Hoffman In the current proposal I think it would be a boat access gate but Commissioner
Daniel or Chair Daniel what I would suggest tonight is you focus on is giving direction to staff
on what we would like to understand more So if you want to which of these items the three
items that they ve proposed I can certainly provide you with a report on those Do you want to
meet in 2 weeks Do you want to meet in a month on this issue The whole issue of whether a
gate can legally even be installed has not been answered
Daniel Yep
Hoffman The State Attorney General will probably be involved in this at some time There are
thousands of public water accesses across the state of Minnesota Currently by the regulations
that we ve signed as far as a LAWCON there s federal and state funding here It says you
cannot implore any restriction of the public access that a riparian owner would not have to go
through as well And so currently under our agreement with the DNR for state and federal
funding we can t put in a gate and insist that somebody go to Lake Minnewashta for inspection
because a riparian boat owner doesn t have to do that when they access the lake and so there s
issues of and then there s also the issue of well what are you going to do at Lake Susan What
are you going to do at Lake Ann
Daniel Correct
Hoffman You know you re a body that represents the entire community city The entire
community so lots of questions There s no doubt that as a city we appreciate what the
volunteers are doing out there in the interim basis but it s a fairly large and complex issue not
only in our community but I think across the state The DNR just got back to work They re not
answering my phone calls I m not sure where they re coming down on this issue but at some
point and this whole issue of public access is not unique to the state of Minnesota There have
been many case studies across the nation on and typically it s the state attorney general that
intervenes on the public water access issue and I don t doubt that that s where this one will end
up as well in the state of Minnesota
Daniel Okay
Tom Kelly You say there are no gate in the state of Minnesota that prohibit people from
entering the gate at a public landing outside of
Hoffman A park hour gate So like Lake Minnewashta Regional Park there s a get there for the
park and so you open the gate in the morning to access but at a public landing I m not aware of a
gate in the state of Minnesota
Tom Kelly And Christmas Lake isn t public That s not a public landing
Joe Shneider Christmas Lake is a public landing I believe that the structure s the same as in
Chanhassen and the city attorney for Christmas Lake has determined that they can in fact put a
gate in to deal with the operating hours Alright So separate in my mind I separate the gate
24
67
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
into multiple uses One is operating hours and that appears to be clean It does not seem to be
an issue at least from the City of Shorewood s legal perspective about that
Hoffman I agree with that
Joe Shneider So you could install a gate today if the gate were here and you had an electrical
hook up to open up whatever your park hour time and close at your park hour time That could
be done today Using it as the pilot project is trying to ask for a shared inspection a required
inspection That brings in the questions that Todd just raised here
Daniel Okay Those are the questions that I have as well
Joe Shneider Yeah If you separate those two you can do the open close park hour gate today
Daniel Okay Well
Joe Shneider One more thing
Daniel Yep
Joe Shneider Our agreement is going to be documented with the City of Shorewood that the
homeowners association is going to cover the annual maintenance fees for the gate So we are
not putting that burden on the City
Daniel Okay good
Joe Shneider We haven t done the agreement yet but that s the new tech
Daniel So as a motion going forward is to direct the city staff what do we have
Carron I like some ideas and there s some things that obviously I m not going to be able to go
along with tonight as of right now without getting some more information regarding the gates
and that sort of thing but as far as what Tom was saying on his three plans as far as park hours
you know watching it Written plan to protect our lakes and then as far as some support as far as
volunteers and inspections and that sort of aspect I know baby steps is not probably the best
word to say because I know we don t have the time but I think from my standpoint tonight I
can t say yeah let s go ahead with a gate but on the aspect of supporting the idea I agree with
that I agree with supporting the idea I think we should get the ball rolling and have some
future discussions on that as soon as we can
Tom Kelly I m actually in favor of having city staff work with the Lotus Lake association to
explore the installation of a gate to enforce the current park hours Let the lawyers figure out
further uses of that gate but get that infrastructure in there and enforce the current park hours that
are posted and it s people at much higher levels than us that will determine if that gate can go
down at the gate
25
68
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Daniel I couldn t agree more I couldn t agree more Elise
Ryan I agree
Daniel Okay Steve
Scharfenberg Yeah I totally support the actions that the districts are doing and would
encourage staff to continue to work with them to come up with a plan with respect to this
particular issue
Daniel Can we also address I mean if they re going to be discussing with the homeowners
associations we have to start to take a look at both Lake Ann and Lake Susan which are two
things we also need to take you know take into consideration I just want to focus on this one
issue What they ve brought to us only
Scharfenberg Well obviously those other two lakes have to be discussed I mean I think it s it
would be imprudent of us to take steps with respect to one lake and not talk about the other lakes
as well and then you know how are you going to pay for that and you know I think those are all
issues that need to be worked out and discussed and staff can certainly work with that best You
know work best with those other associations to talk to them about that
Daniel Okay
Cole Kelly Yeah I m in agreement The lake I go to has zebra mussels so it s our lake
associations we re having different discussions than these lake associations are having and so I
don t think you want to get to the point where you re having those discussions down in
Chanhassen and so I would favor a gate and I would favor what these associations are doing so I
think we should work up something and figure out what we can and cannot do
Daniel So would this be under the governance of or at least not the governance but the body of
the lake action alliance is that the best way to describe who the city is going to be working with
Or is it the individual homeowners associations
Tom Devine There s various groups that are doing this and I guess what I would encourage the
participation of these other groups to all move forward together in concert and this is not an
exclusion of Ann Riley Susan or anybody else
Daniel Sure
Tom Devine We just happen to have gotten started and it was enough of a chore just to get
ourselves organized and get our people on board Get our people trained but I would certainly
encourage you know any of the other associations I really don t know the level of activity that
the other associations currently have right now within the city of Chanhassen I m not familiar
with how active those associations really are but this would give cause for them to really look at
things if you guys move this all ahead
26
69
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Daniel Okay
Steve Jenks I ve had some communication with the folks at Riley and Lake Susan and they re
watching what we re doing but they are light years behind where we re at in terms of discussions
among their members
Daniel And Lake Ann only has 3 property owners so
Steve Jenks Right
Ryan And what s the thought on doing something in 2 weeks Meeting again in 2 weeks to
regroup on this specifically
Daniel I m certainly open to it
Cole Kelly I d be happy to pass along my thoughts but I ll be on vacation in 2 weeks
Daniel Peter
Aldritt I can do that I d be curious to see what staff comes up with and see how it is to meet
in 2 weeks
Carron I think it s a good idea every 2 weeks
Tom Kelly He just likes being here
Daniel Steve
Hoffman 20 years ago we met every 2 weeks
Daniel Is that okay 2 weeks as well
Scharfenberg I won t be here so
Daniel Okay but there s probably enough to have a quorum and discuss
Hoffman take a hand
Daniel One two I will
Ryan I would be here
Tom Kelly I m not sure I m not sure
Daniel So we at least got 4 of us that can commit I guess as far as the motion then why don t
we it needs to be along the lines of directing staff to continue discussions with the various
27
70
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
homeowner associations including the Lake Action Alliance to discuss the implementation of a
gate at Lotus South Lotus Lake Park as well as evaluation of costs for a gate at both Lake Ann
at the access point and Lake Susan to address only park hours only And that we will report the
staff will report back to the commission in 2 weeks which would be August Who s got a calendar August 9 Is there any other changes
Tom Kelly Can you repeat that motion
Daniel That the city staff would continue discussions with the various homeowner associations
and Lake Action Alliance to discuss implementation of a gate at South Lotus Lake Park at the
access point to operate during to work during park hours only And then also they need to
evaluate a cost implementation of a gate at both Lake Susan and Lake Ann again at the access
points and that they will report back to the commission with those discussions and costs of stuff within 2 weeks on August 9 The commission will meet again Would that be fair
Tom Kelly Right
Ryan And then what about the piece of having inspections a centralized inspection
Daniel I think let s get more educated on that They can talk about that I think let s just focus
on the gate right now during operating hours That s the deal but it s a very good point And I
think then also as far as support I think we can let the homeowner associations as well as the
Lake Action Alliance know that there s support from the commission Park and Rec Commission
on your attempts to move forward with something like this And then as far as what Carver
County enforcement hours Todd again let s throw that under jurisdiction as far as reporting back
to us in 2 weeks as far as what could be done and what we re able to direct the administrator or
council can suggest to the council as a plan and then as far as a written plan I think we ll wait
until we get something from Steve you had something is that correct Okay It s a long motion
Very long but certainly if everyone s in agreement why don t we vote on it
Tom Kelly If I can make an amendment to that motion I would like to make sure that there s
no dependencies between Lake Ann and Lake Susan and Lotus Lake I would not want to slow
up any gate installation process at Lotus Lake because we re not sure what we want to do at Lake
Susan and Lake Ann
Daniel Correct Okay
Cole Kelly Can I ask a question before we finish off here and it s for Tom or Steve When
you re talking about enforcement in the early mornings are we seeing more problems on
Saturdays or Sundays or is it all through the week or
Tom Devine I personally have monitored a number of Saturdays and Sundays I haven t really
kept track of what goes on on the other days of the week although I know that it does happen
throughout the week It s not just unique to Saturdays and Sundays but it s not unusual to have 4
or S boats on before 6 00 in the morning because it gets to be a little bit of a thing amongst those
boaters to see who can get there first because there is a limitation of 10 parking spots there
28
71
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Cole Kelly Got it okay I m not going to change anything then okay Thank you
Daniel Alright let s go ahead and make a motion
Torn Kelly You made the motion
Daniel I made a motion so let s move second
Tom Kelly I ll second
Daniel moved Tom Kelly seconded that the city continue discussions with the various
homeowner associations and Lake Action Alliance to discuss implementation of a gate at
the South Lotus Lake Park access point to operate during park hours only evaluate costs
associated with gates at boat access points on Lake Susan and Lake Ann but not connect
the implementation of a gate at Lotus Lake with the other two lakes and a report on
enforcement of park hours by the Carver County sheriffs office be brought back at a
special Park and Recreation Commission meeting on August 9 2011 All voted in favor
and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0
Hoffman Chair Daniels just in closing to a lot of discussion tonight has been about the support
that the City and I just wanted to be fair the mayor has been in on these meetings and so has
administration and I think it s difficult I know there s two levels of support there that we re
looking at We have always supported the volunteer inspections We worked with them to
secure signs and install additional signage at the landing but it s typical to support something
that you re bound by not being able to do by written contracts or by law and so until those things
are understood I think there s two levels of support that need to be recognized
Daniel Well I think we ve got a third level of finance and what costs are associated with that
and certainly the budget conscious community that Chanhassen is you know that falls into the
categories as well so I understand Todd and certainly thank you for that point That s why I
think there needs to be more education on our end Again because we also act within the laws
that we re able to work within so without really fully knowing what we can do but I think as far
as just as far as just having continued discussions with the homeowners association the
alliances I think that s certainly something that we want to see and I think if it can be done more
expeditiously as far as implementation of a gate if it s going to work Do a park hours gate I
mean I know we ve done it I ve seen the gate house I know it s not unprecedented in Chan but
Lake Ann and Lake or Lake Lotus when the public access first opened and that was I think
primarily Todd correct me for the milfoil issue at first correct
Hoffman It was for park hours It was not included in the park master plan initially but then
they added it
Daniel But they were staffed there to identify milfoil at the time at one point within it s
29
72
Park and Recreation Commission July 26 2011
Hoffman Yeah The original intent was to restrict the number of parking so once the number of
parking stalls were filled with boats then they were instructed to close the gate and that s not
lawful either so we were directed by the DNR to stop that
Daniel Okay
Hoffman And then later the gate was used for just kind of park hours and eventually it was
eliminated
Daniel And again and I agree with them I appreciate the homeowners coming to our meeting
and passionately discussing this issue It s certainly serious enough I mean you know these
lakes are very important to our community and you know regardless if you re a homeowner or if
you re a recreational user of the beach or something especially at Lake Ann I mean that s our
prized lake to be honest with you in this community just because it s you know because it s so
widely used so I guess I certainly want to take it serious We do take it seriously We appreciate
you taking the time to discuss this with us tonight and as I stated before you do have the support
of the Park and Recreation Commission so
Tom Devine Thank you very much Appreciate your time and your
Daniel No that s alright
Steve Jenks If you were thinking about doing something else tonight
Daniel Well it was funny 1 made that statement I said oh we ve only got 2 items on This will
go real quick We can hold
Hoffman And before our guest presenters leave the answers we have for these questions today
are answered but there ll be anything else that we don t have the answer for we re not going to
have in 2 weeks and so we re not going to have the answer can we install a gate during the day
We re not going to have that answered in 2 weeks
Tom Kelly Right yep
Hoffman We re making inquiries with the State of Minnesota but those answers are not going
to come
Daniel But I assume now our guests will be meeting once there s another council meeting that
you guys will be going to the next council meeting I m assuming
Steve Jenks We re actually engaging with the council members individually and with the intent
of getting on the agenda as soon as possible
Daniel Okay
Steve Jenks Right now it s not on the next agenda

then authorize inspector to Anybody who read the report prior to this evening s meeting or in
the commission s packet pages top of page 5 you need to make a note that Minnesota State law
does not allow So there s a missing not in the original report And then at the end of that

CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENT REQUEST TO
ENFORCE PARK HOURS AT SOUTH LOTUS LAKE PARK BOAT ACCESS
ADOPT AN AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES AIS POLICY
FURTHER SUPPORT THE VOLUNTEER AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES
EDUCATION PROGRAM AT THE SOUTH LOTUS LAKE PARK BOAT
ACCESS
Daniel Certainly what I want to do is just welcome those who are here as visitors Again we do
appreciate your attendance tonight What we want to do is certainly thank those who have
stepped in here before Were here last meeting and thank them for working on this project
Obviously it s something that everyone is now aware of and we re becoming more educated on
the subject certainly than our last meeting we had and certainly it s a lot of effort that those
volunteers have been doing as far as with regards to watercraft inspections so again thank you for
that for those volunteer hours I also want you to understand as far as what the park
commission if you re unfamiliar What the park commissioner s role is really what we are is an
appointed advisory group of the council We don t have authority to set you know policy
That s more mandated Other issues or items Really what we re doing is just providing
suggestions direction for the City Council as well as with the city staff really as an advisory board of citizens So just so that everyone understand you know any not necessarily decisions
but any motions that we do make really go to the council and the City Council ultimately is
responsible for any policy that s going to be set with regards to anything with the city especially
within our realm which is park and recreation So just so everyone understands in case there are
any questions Right now why don t we go ahead and Todd you have an opportunity to talk
about between the staff and the council here this issue right now
Hoffman Be glad to Chair Daniels and members of the commission and members of the
public Visitors this evening It s my pleasure to respond to both the inquiries from the residents
at the last meeting and also to respond to the motion that was made by the Park and Recreation
Commission at your last meeting The proposed motion this evening presented to the Park and
Recreation Commission is that staff recommends that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommend the City Council continue to support the aquatic invasive species education and
3
77
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
volunteer inspection campaign being conducted at South Lotus Lake Park public water access
To formalize that relationship between really that relationship and any others that form in our
community on our publicly owned landings that it s recommended that the City comply with an
action step in the DNR aquatic invasive species volunteer manual and create a written agreement
between the City and the volunteer groups outlining expectations and procedures for the
adoption by the City Council Now I ll go into some background that s been taken place on aquatic invasive species in our community On July 11 2011 the City Council received
comments from two residents concerning the topic of aquatic invasive species specifically zebra
mussels during the visitor presentation portion of their meeting The Minutes with the citizen
comments and responses were attached to your packet City Manager Gerhardt sought input
from the Lake Action Alliance after that visitor presentation and requested information and
responses to a variety of questions And those questions are what is the Alliance s and that s
the Lake Action Alliance s fallback plan if the proposed Lake Minnewashta inspection station
turns out not to be a suitable location for public boat inspections How can the City assist with
educating and training the public in preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species What
other alternatives can the Alliance propose short of gating a public accesses What legal
authority does the City have to require all boats be inspected prior to entering the lakes and
placing permanent gates at boat accesses What happens if a boat fails inspection What type of
program can be created to assure that these 4 requirements are met And these requirements are
mandated by the use when the City used LAWCON dollars federal and state dollars to develop
these access points Lotus Lake Lake Ann and Lake Susan during this development time of
those boat accesses we applied and were successful in receiving LAWCON dollars federal
dollars to develop those sites When they give you that money it doesn t come without strings
Some of those stipulations are that the access must be open at least 16 hours a day between the
hours of 4 00 a m and 12 00 midnight That no fees be charged for launching any craft Where
an access is provided within a park such as Lake Minnewashta Regional Park uniform fees shall
be charged to all users regardless of their residence That no special regulations do not apply
equally to riparian boat owners and those that use the public water access How long would the
pilot program last and what type of performance measures would we use to determine success
As of today at least Mr Gerhardt has not received full responses to these questions for
distribution to the City Council Following that meeting on July 23 the Park and Recreation
Commission at the last meeting hosted 4 residents during visitors presentation portion of your
agenda Primary topic of discussion were the operation of South Lotus Lake Park public water
access and efforts of the aquatic invasive species education and volunteer inspection campaign
being conducted up at Lotus Lake by volunteers and also DNR inspectors The visitors
requested that the commission respond to 3 requests Enforcement of park hours at South Lotus
Lake Park boat access the adoption of an aquatic invasive species policy and that the City
further support the volunteer aquatic invasive species education program at South Lotus Lake
Park boat access Additionally the commissioners made a recommendation that evening which
I ll read and break down into two parts a little bit later on in the report Tonight staff is pleased
to provide the following responses for the requests and inquiries from the visitors and the second
part of my response I ll get into the response to the motion made by the commission Visitor
requests for the enforcement of park hours at South Lotus Lake Park at the access Chanhassen
city park operating hours are 6 00 a m to 10 00 p m The City provides public safety services
through an annual contract with the Carver County Sheriff s office The officers conduct routine
patrols throughout the city throughout the day including parks and respond to calls for service as
M
78
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
needed Patrol coverage afforded by this contract does not permit city parks to be checked daily
for operations of hour violations In a typical scenario an officer may encounter persons in their
vehicles that are parked before or after hours while on their routine patrol Additionally officers
respond to reports called into dispatch center of disturbances in parks during both open and
closed hours Further enforcement of park hours at South Lotus Lake Park boat access beyond
this would require a change in the current patrol format implemented through a policy directive
from the City Council Basically our law enforcement folks can t be everywhere all the time
When the parks open up at 6 00 law enforcement does not patrol and see if there s anybody
there early on a regular basis They re out on routine patrol We have 34 park sites in our
community Same thing at 10 00 at night We have 34 parks They might be doing some
routine patrolling but they re certainly not out there driving through every park at 10 00 to make
sure that they re closed Defer to community on this important issue we ve asked Lieutenant Jeff
Enevold with the Carver County Sheriff s Office to visit us tonight and speak both to the
community the public and the commissioners about how our contract works and how law
enforcement and park patrol in our community works so Lieutenant Enevold
Lt Jeff Enevold Mr Chair commissioners and citizens visitors Just a brief introduction I am
Jeff Enevold I m a Lieutenant for Chanhassen here I oversee the day to day operations of the
law enforcement folks here We have 12 patrol deputies an investigator and school resource
officer who work up here I would just reiterate some of the things that Todd said We do
currently do routine patrol of all the parks We like everyone else we have limited resources
and we have additional requests for service We identify you know problem areas that we like to
target We have a lot of traffic issues within the city Currently we ve targeted we ve had a rash
of thefts from vehicles and thefts from garages so we re focusing our resources on those
neighborhoods right now We do get into the parks We do enforce the ordinances We do
we re already doing that so I don t I guess the question is what are you asking for Are you
asking for more patrol or
Daniel Well it s a very good question I guess and that s one of the issues that got brought up
is the concern about the enforcement of the park hours especially those boaters who and again I
presume this is primarily relegated to South Lotus You know that get in early before park
hours Primarily fishing obviously And that they do not have personnel there because the park
hours are from 6 00 to 10 00 so they can be prepared I m assuming they can certainly answer
that question when we get to visitor presentation section but I m assuming that s what they re
inquiring about or looking for some support on
Lt Jeff Enevold Sure and we d be like I said we re already doing that and we d be happy to
continue doing it but the fact is I can t guarantee to have an officer there at 5 30 in the morning
or 9 30 in the evening when we may be focused on other troubled areas or they may be on other
calls for service so we ll continue to do what we re doing
Hoffman Chair Daniels and commission members the only thing we all need to recognize and I
think we do living in our communities is that there are people in our parks before 6 00 a m
pretty much all summer long and so the City Council citizens tolerate this It s something where
you know it gets light at 5 15 5 30 in June and so it s something that currently is going on
People are recreating utilizing the facilities and again to come back and to take a heavy hand at
79
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
any one particular spot to say no you re going to get a ticket if you re in that park before 6 00
that again would take a policy directive and the City Council could do that That would be
special enforcement beyond what is currently taking place in our community and so that again
would have to be something that would come as a directive from the City Council Many
activities are taking place People swim in the parks Walk their dogs before 6 00 They go to a
boat access and they go fishing so we know it s happening throughout in the parks before 6 00
you ll see but it s not the majority of use And there certainly are times that South Lotus Lake
after 6 00 a m and before 10 00 p m when there s not an inspector present so I guess the key
here is to continue the education process Those boaters who happen to get there at quarter to
6 00 and you know hopefully they re educated as well and then sometimes I don t believe there s
an inspector there all the time at 6 00 a m and so there are boats that are launching during posted
park hours also that are not inspected
Lt Jeff Enevold Yeah that s a great point You know I would have difficulty supporting a zero
tolerance policy I mean there s always folks that are in there you know they want to get out 15
minutes early and go fishing go swimming and they have all these other activities they want to
do so a zero tolerance policy is difficult for me to support
Daniel Well I think we d have to be consistent across the board unless we re specifically
targeting one park and that obviously that d be a decision based on policy but again I think all of
us as commissioners as well as residents have utilized parks before hours and I see them close on
a daily basis I mean it s well before 6 00 and especially in the summer obviously when it s
light and you know that s just our little park that s across the street from us so
Hoffman Chair Daniels and members of the commission park ordinance hours are there
primarily to be able to afford the officers an opportunity to deal with disturbances or disruptions
and so if there s activities taking place that should not be taking place and they re after hours
they re going to write them up for an after hours violation and disturbance of the parks If
there s no other questions of Lieutenant Enevold we re going to let him get back to his other
duties and then we ll continue on with our
Daniel I was just going to suggest that Any questions Thank you Lieutenant
Audience There s a gentleman back here that has a question
Audience I highly recommend that you use the PA system because you cannot hear you
People back here have no idea what you re talking what you re saying and that s what they
came here to hear
Daniel Okay
Audience So if the PA system is not broken please use it
Daniel Do we have a PA system Todd
Hoffman Probably speak a little
11
80
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Lt Jeff Enevold Talk a little closer
Daniel How s that Does that help I can do that Boy I ve never been accused of having a
soft voice
Tom Devine Can I ask a question
Daniel Yes
Tom Devine Tom Devine 7640 South Shore Drive I just want to make sure I understand what
you re sharing with all of us in the audience
Audience Okay so we can t hear so I don t think it is working
Tom Devine I just want to make sure everybody understands What you re saying essentially
then is and I can understand the shortness of funds shortness of time and the staff that you can t
go to 34 parks but on those parks that have the water access where the hours are controlled you
know or set essentially what you re saying is you re just not in the position to be able to enforce
those hours Is that essentially what you re capsulizing and saying
Lt Jeff Enevold I m saying at certain times we would not have the resources available to
enforce those hours that s correct
Tom Devine Have you written any tickets or done anything at all this year on at Lake Ann
Lotus or Susan or Riley for anybody being there prior to the operating hours Or after the
operating hours
Lt Jeff Enevold Off the top of my head I don t know I would have to go into our records and
take a look at that Again you know I have difficulty taking the discretionary away from the
officers
Tom Devine Right
Lt Jeff Enevold I mean they go in there and figure out what s going on Normally you know
there s a spirit of the law and the letter of the law I mean I m for the spirit of the law You go
in there and figure out what s going on If there s kids in there drinking beer after hours
vandalizing you know that s when we ll write a citation If there s somebody who wants to be
in there at quarter to 6 00 and go swimming or get out with your son and go fishing you know
we ll have to weigh that and talk to them and leave that to officer s discretion to see what he
wants to do with that
Tom Devine Yeah typically like at Lotus Lake you know we monitored in May June you
know 80 of the parking stalls were filled with boats and primarily fishing boats before the park
hours opened and we have not made it a pattern to call you know to report or to have you come
out and ticket or whatever but the issue you re making the case very well for us why we should
7
81
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
have a gate because you know the gating thing sets the hours and then electronically you can
then open and close the gate you know at will based on the hours of the park rather than just
having it be you know not enforced ordinance in terms of what goes on
Lt Jeff Enevold It s not my intention to support the gate or not support a gate I m telling you
what we can do as law enforcement
Tom Devine Yeah And that s the issue I think that we brought to attention last month is the
fact that right now it s just a it s an ordinance It s a law but nobody enforces it and that s the
concern and a goodly number of those parking stalls are filled prior to and after the hours that the
park is open for which it s unreasonable to expect that we as volunteers will staff at night in the
dark and or you know prior to the park hours That s the only thing I just wanted to clarify
Daniel Any other questions If not thank you Lieutenant appreciate it and thank you Okay
Todd then we want to move on to second column there or second paragraph here with adopt an
aquatic invasive species policy that was brought to our attention
Hoffman Thank you Chair Daniels members of the commission To date the City of
Chanhassen has not adopted an aquatic invasive species policy There are a variety of
governmental agencies currently involved in the efforts to slow the spread of aquatic invasive
species within the region and the state Primary among these are the State of Minnesota the U S
Fish and Wildlife Service the U S Geological Survey and watershed districts DNR employees
are staffing aquatic invasive species education and inspection stations across the state
Additionally many programs similar to the Lotus Lake and Lake Minnewashta AIS education
and volunteer inspection campaigns are being initiated statewide As a commission you are in a
position if you choose to make a recommendation to the City Council that they consider
adoption of such a policy an aquatic invasive species policy for the city That level of policy
development if authorized would require the input of citizens city advisory groups local and
county and state and regional governing bodies And obviously that would take a good amount
of time to create such a policy The next thing that the citizens had asked for was further support
of the volunteer aquatic invasive species education program at the South Lotus Lake Park boat
access This spring we engaged with a variety of meetings with the Lotus Lake Clean Water
Association Discussion topics were numerous but most primary among them were the operation
of the access and then the desire to implement aquatic invasive species education and volunteer
inspection campaign The campaign would be coordinated and funded through the Lotus Lake
Clean Water Association and affiliated groups Staff supports the implementation of that
program the education and volunteer inspection campaign at the Lotus Lake Park water access
with assurances from the association s representatives that the program would be education
based and that boat or watercraft inspections would be volunteer The City has submitted a
grant the City submitted a grant application and worked with the association for DNR education
signage be posted at the access In the interim we printed some paper signs laminated those and
posted those at all the accesses that we control The application was approved for the signs and
signs were procured and installed Very large sign at the bottom of the access near the boat ramp
itself and another sign part way up the access Similar smaller signs were posted at Lake Susan
and Lake Ann boat accesses AIS volunteers are being trained through a Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources program utilizing a manual that is attached and on site trainers employed
82
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
by the DNR To date as far as we re aware the Lotus Lake group has trained more volunteers
than any other location in the state It s anticipated the efforts of the volunteers at either the city
owned water access points in our community will continue the remainder of this boating season
and extend into the future Therefore to formalize that relationship between the City and the
volunteer groups again is recommended that we create a written agreement between the City and
these groups for adoption by the City Council Moving forward with the recommendation put forth by this body on July 26 recommendation that the City continue discussions with the
various homeowner associations and the Lake Action Alliance to discuss implementation of a
gate at South Lotus Lake Park access to operate during park hours only and evaluate costs
associated with a gate at the boat access points in Lake Susan and Lake Ann but not connecting
the implementation of a gate at Lotus Lake with these other two lakes The request to install a
gate at the South Lotus Lake Park boat access is broken into two parts really A request by the
Lake Action Alliance to provide and install an electronic key card gate requiring boaters to travel
to an offsite location for a mandatory watercraft inspection At this location the boater would
receive a code for the gate prior to transporting their boat back to South Lotus Lake or another
water body to enter the water Staff s response to this is again Minnesota state law does not
allow for a mandatory watercraft inspection except in the event that a licensed conservation
officer or police officer asks for one or an authorized AIS inspector Level I or Level II And that
authorized inspector that s a draft It s the very last sheet in your packet is a draft policy being
adopted by the DNR The second part of the gate is a request by the Lake Action Alliance to
provide and install an electronic gate that would open at 6 00 a m each morning and close at
10 00 p m each night Staff does not support the request of installing a gated access point at
Lotus Lake or either of the community s other two city owned public water accesses Small
percentage of overall access use that occurs before or after hours and then coupled with the
complexities that would accompany the long term maintenance and operation of such a device is
the basis for that position Second part of the motion from your last meeting it was a report on
the enforcement of the park hours be provided and you have the written report and then you also
heard from the sheriff Lieutenant Enevold The recommended action is was presented at the
start of the report I will not repeat it and be available for questions from the commission Or
the audience
Daniel Okay Let s have some questions for staff Peter
Aldritt None at this time right now
Daniel Okay Brent
Carron I m good
Daniel Elise
Ryan I do have one question Todd It s about the policy When you ask about the policy
development can you list some of the groups that would be involved in development of the
policy Obviously citizens A city advisory committee Who would that be
Hoffman It would be both the Park Commission and the Environmental Commission
9
83
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Ryan Okay Plus citizens or just appointed commissions
Hoffman And citizens
Ryan Okay thank you
Tom Kelly I do have two questions One does the training that the volunteers receive qualify
them as a Level I or Level II inspector
Hoffman Not to my knowledge no
Tom Kelly And the second question is do you have any estimates on what the long term
maintenance or operation of a gate would be Any hard numbers to know how much it would
actually cost to maintain that gate on an annual basis
Hoffman No not any hard numbers There s a variety of complexities that would come with
you know does it operate You know what happens when the power goes out There s just a
lot of things What happens when it doesn t operate when people arrive How is the City
Council going to deal with this Instead of putting a gate in at 6 00 we could simply you know
move the park hours to 5 00 a m to 10 00 at boat accesses and then the gate would open at you
know there s a balance between gating a public resource and not providing access to that and so
there would be discussion about well is that reasonable Should those park hours be moved So
there s a lot of issues that would go along with gating a public resource that people want access
to
Daniel Alright Thank you Tom Todd I have one question myself Do other cities and I ll
say primarily within the suburb here and I ll say close to proximity Cities that are close in
proximity to lakes that are currently infected have they adopted specifically the city themselves
a policy yet
Hoffman Not that I m aware of
Daniel Shorewood has not
Hoffman Not that I know of They ve taken on the issue but I don t know
Daniel But they ve not they have not developed a policy
Hoffman I don t know
Daniel Is it presumed that most cities counties and other public entities will basically adopt or
assume a DNR policy that s currently in place
Hoffman Well I m not sure if they re going to adopt it but they re certainly looking at the DNR
policy and other
10
84
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Daniel Okay as covering really what would be a policy across the board
Hoffman Yeah as any government entity you have to decide what you re going to do and at the
local level local governments provide basic services Counties provide another set of basic
services The State provides another level of services and currently lakes are governed by the
Commission of Natural Resources and the DNR and so you have to understand we can t do
everything so you know is the City willing to get in the business of aquatic invasive species
policies or do you want to defer to others to do that That s a question that the community has to
ask itself
Daniel Okay Great thank you
Ryan And currently the DNR policy is education
Hoffman Education and they re out there doing
Ryan Training
Hoffman They re doing training They re doing inspections They ve got their portable
cleaning units out now so yeah they re doing a variety of programs Obviously they were
slowed down by the shutdown but they re back up and running Most of the information that the
attachments are DNR attachments that are attached to the report this evening Or all of them
Daniel Okay Thank you Todd What we can do I d like to take now the time to certainly
move on to visitor presentations so it gives the opportunity for residents here to step up and
certainly ask questions or make statements concerns regarding this topic I would ask each
resident if they could please limit to about 5 minutes with discussions and there certainly will be
exchange and from the commission here as well Also when you do come up please state your
name and your address it d be good So please anybody who d like to step up and certainly
make a statement Go ahead
Tom Devine My name is Tom Devine I live at 7640 South Shore Drive and I m a member of
the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization and the homeowners association and have been part of
the effort since it got started here back in April First I just want to acknowledge and appreciate
the efforts that you people made last month and have made by having this second meeting and
follow up Your actions of caring and being responsive to the issues that involve all of
Chanhassen s lakes were well received out there and I think they were well received in the media
and the publications that have been made since that point Second thing I want to quickly
address is since the meeting last month I know there was a memo that was circulated by the
DNR Commissioner that said that we were acting kind of on our own or without the spirit of
cooperation of the DNR and I just wanted to follow up on that and say that definitely is not the
case The Commissioner evidently was not aware of what the actions were of the staff way
downstream in terms of what was going on and as I said last month in our meeting we ve
completed about at that point about 70 training exercises at that point all conducted by DNR
personnel and those people They ve been aware of what we ve been doing They applied for
11
85
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
the grant for the signage and all of that so the DNR is well aware of what we ve been doing and
they have been participating with our inspections down there So the Commissioner at the top
may not be aware of all of the activities of his staff but clearly those activities are well
documented in terms of what s happened I didn t see the packet until this evening that each of
you have got in terms of the recommendations and I want to comment on that in just a second
but I want I also want to comment on two other things that were brought up since last month
The City conducted a series of surveys of boat usage on Lotus Lake and I don t know if the
survey s been completed since then but I d say 6 or 7 years ago about 90 of the boats that came
back in the surveys that were completed then were not Chanhassen residents but rather they were
boats coming from elsewhere From other lakes They were residents that lived not in the city
of Chanhassen by drivers or license plate inspection but rather those were profiled and it turned
out most of those boats were from Minneapolis St Paul other areas other than the city of
Chanhassen residents as such I think that that s an important fact and if maybe we re due for
another study of license plates on who s using our lakes because I think it will quickly show it s
not just Chanhassen residents and part of this effort is to protect our lakes here in Chanhassen
for the benefit of Chanhassen residents you know long term Those boats that are used or come
from other lakes they come and go They just move on to another lake after this lake becomes
infested and that s really what the concern is of protecting our lakes and why we re asking the
City of Chanhassen to take action as it relates to that And let me just comment on the
recommendation I did not see the packet here until I got here this evening and you know it s
dated today You know on the request I guess I m not you know I guess I m a little
disappointed that the motion I think was pretty clear on what was what the instructions were in
terms of coming back and reporting to you on and I m looking at the staff recommendations and
I think that I for one would have liked to have had the opportunity to at least participated in the
discussion before the staff made the recommendation to you I think that s part of what we re
looking for here is to get a cooperative spirit of people all working down the same road I know
where some people in the city s stand right now relative to this the whole issue of the
inspections and what not and the gating and all these other peripheral issues but I think it gets
back to the issue that we all need to sit down and work together So rather than coming out with
recommendations giving them to you You act on them or vote and then take them to City
Council I think you do need and want the input of the people that are really directly involved in
the effort because I think it does make for a much better decision in terms of how you ultimately
make your decisions as they re brought forth I will take issue with some of the issues here but I
don t have enough time to really do that but you know the cost of the gate the complexities and
all those sorts of things leave that to a group of people to figure it out If we re charged to deal
with the complexities that you re outlining here the long term maintenance the cost and all that
leave that to us We ll come back to you and we ll give you a report on what how we would
propose to do that because all of those issues I think are easily overcomeable and I think also
when we look at the financial side of what we re looking at I think that those issues can also be
addressed without taxpayer support or taxpayer dollars So I just I mention those things quickly
Two last things I just want to quickly mention I do have a newsletter the newsletter that we ve
been producing There is one that s now I found out this evening that s been produced since this
one but let me just leave you this They ve inspected over 650 boats There s of that 80 of the
boats or 84 of the boats did have their plugs in which means the ability to keep water inside those
boats and transporting from one lake to another is of concern And 60 of those 650 some boats
10 of those boats 11 of those boats have come from lakes where there was infested waters
12
86
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
and this is really the issue for you people to look at and consider in terms of how you adopt
policy going forward is you do have this transportation of boats onto your lakes here and you
know what are we going to do to try to prevent that And finally let me just mention about the
you know the law does not allow for mandatory watercraft inspections Right now those
inspections started up at Grays Bay this last week It was well publicized in the media I ve got
a picture here the station that came off the website there that shows what the platform looks like
They ve got spray equipment up there and what not We ve gone through the process of having
all of our people trained We did not know that there was a Level I Level II or we would have
actually put these people through that training exercise I m sure of the 80 or 90 people that have
now gone through our process we could get a number of Level 1 Level 11 inspectors taken care
of so that we would be in compliance with this recommendation and if the request or the staff
request to deny is really based on the fact that it s not possible Challenge us and we will come
back and we ll get these people we ll get people set up ready to go so they fit whatever the
qualifications are that the DNR s looking for We re not trying to evade or not follow the
compliance or whatever the stated law is What we re trying to do is set up a program educate
people and then follow forward on whatever it is Last thing I d just like to quickly say in
finishing here is I ve got two other there s two other publications that have been done just in the
last week or so There was one in the Minneapolis paper here and there was another one up in
Spicer Now the Spicer Lake Association has gone to putting a chemical in the lake which has
some kind of a bacteria in it I think there s a lot of things we can do before we start doing these
kind of these things but again we all have to get in the same room Talk about what these
options look like and say okay well this is maybe something we d like to try out Maybe this is
something we shouldn t do What s the outcome of doing it introducing a bacteria into the lake
What s the long term impact of that and that sort of thing but all of that s information that you
should be looking at in terms of what your recommendations are is to really study carefully what
others are doing And finally let me say you know we we really do appreciate greatly your
concern your level of urgency and the characterization of understanding what the problem was
and trying to move forward I hope you go back to your original motion of what you asked last
week and say okay let s go back through this motion you know specifically and see what we
need to do to direct staff and bring forth the answers really to what the questions were in the
original motion because they re not really addressed in my quick read of what this is right now
and I think those are the issues that you really should go back and try to understand Thank you
very much and I do appreciate your time very much and I appreciate the fact that all of you made
the effort to be here for a second you know unscheduled meeting to take information from all of
us Thank you
Daniel Thank you Tom
Hoffman Can I just clarify one thing
Daniel Yes
Hoffman I think for everybody in the audience to understand I think it s to understand that
sitting here today as staff staff does not take direction from the Park and Recreation
Commission I m more or less a secretary of the City Council and the City Manager to respond
to requests from the City and Park and Recreation Commission Their role is to make a
13
87
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
recommendation to the City Council That is their singular role I m employed by the City
Manager I take my direction from the City Manager not from the Park and Recreation
Commission That s just an important clarification for everyone to remember Thank you
Daniel Sure
Steve Jenks I m Steve Jenks I live at 7490 Chanhassen Road and I too am a member of the
Lotus Lake Homeowners Association and the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization and I m a
co founder of the Lake Action Alliance and we talked about what the Lake Action Alliance was
before In reviewing the packet tonight we do owe the City Council a response to some
questions that were laid out and I ll take that on as a responsibility and I ll have that delivered
before the end of the week and I ll be happy to copy Todd and if you would forward that on I
would appreciate that
Hoffman Be glad to
Steve Jenks As to the purpose of the gate and the cost for the gate I wanted to clarify that the
two purposes from our perspective were to control the non operating hours of the park as they re
posted and so therefore the overnight hours and to do it in a way that was automated so that truly
it didn t involve the sheriff and his team in terms of having to make a decision about what
priority project to not do so they could go close a gate That doesn t make any sense I didn t
think it made any sense to anybody 2 weeks ago I don t think it does tonight either And then
to enable participation in the future should we overcome all the other obstacles to enable
participation in an AIS an aquatic invasive species pilot project in the future that would that we
discussed last week with that would include the 3 lakes and all the pieces of that Further we
stated to the City that we would bear the cost for that gate so really money and cost shouldn t be
an issue for the City and so we re raising those funds and we re happy to tell you that we ll be
able to do that so we would install it and manage the ongoing expenses The only piece that
we re asking the City for and we think you re going to want to have control over is the
electronic part or the electrical work involved in the installation and certainly we would work
with where it went How it worked All those sorts of things The technical pieces of it with the
City We certainly don t want to leave you out of it but we don t want money to be a gating
piece in that decision per se Thank you very much
Daniel Thank you Steve Appreciate your time
Joe Shneider Good evening I m Joe Shneider 1035 Holly Lane I spoke with you the last
time as well I would just like to make sure we re very clear on this The DNR is in fact
working on aquatic invasive species very aggressively and if you believe that that s going to save
our precious Chanhassen lakes from aquatic invasive species you ve got another thing to be
thinking about because it s not going to happen It didn t happen so far with Eurasian water
milfoil It didn t happen with curly lake pond weed It s not going to happen with zebra mussels
and it s not going to happen with the numerous other invasive species that are coming down the
pipe Yes there s been a lot of press There s been as much press about the DNR getting
decontamination facilities as there has been about the request that we have to do the 3 lake pilot
project The decontamination process just to give you a perspective on it these are for boats
14
88
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
leaving some landings Some landings at Lake Minnetonka There is one decontamination
machine There are 13 landings on Lake Minnetonka Right so we are kidding ourselves if we
think this is going to make a difference in protecting our lakes from aquatic invasive species
The DNR has a number of inspectors identified now as capable of requiring a mandatory
inspection and doing a more aggressive inspection This is brand new and I will tell you I am as
livid about this as I can be I am one of the 60 70 80 100 volunteer inspectors I gave personal
and confidential information to the DNR as a part of that training and to be finding out later that
I have virtually no capability blew me away Why would they need personal and confidential
information if they weren t going to give us some level of capability Well now they ve
redefined their levels of capability Todd s exactly right That s a draft document I ve had it
for weeks now and they don t have this approved yet so Level I and Level II AIS inspectors
don t exist The training doesn t exist for that So this is a moving target and it is moving very
slowly so our request that we made last time is very simple Maximize the effectiveness of the
invasive species program at the Lotus Lake Park We ve got the inspectors to run during the
business hours All we were asking for in the primary objective was to control the non operating
hours so that those volunteer hours are effective An automated gate Not asking for police An
automated gate that opens at park hours Whatever time you choose that to be and closes at park
closing whatever time you choose that to be solves the problem Can you make an automated
gate work Yes you can Can you say that there are all too many problems with an automated
gate Sure you can say that too but you know what automated gates work and lots and lots of
24 by 7 operations around the country Around the world This is not rocket science so to say
that money is a problem you ve just heard it from the Lotus Lake guys Money is not the
problem They can get it installed They will pay the maintenance for it It just seems like
we re kidding ourselves if we re saying we re not going to do anything We re going to count on
the DNR That just seems crazy I don t think we re protecting our lakes Thanks
Daniel Thank you Joe
Greg Dryke It s really short Greg Dryke 105 Choctaw Circle I m the manager of the
inspections and I just wanted to clarify something that s been going back and forth at these Level
I and Level II I had a training done by DNR contact Maureen Nekowski if that s her name
last Monday and she told me that they are in fact moving forward within the DNR right now on
their Level I and Level II training Right now they re only training themselves in interior but she
told me they ve got a schedule planned out They re doing it It s been passed so just point of
clarification
Joe Shneider And no volunteers will be eligible to be Level I or Level II inspectors
Greg Dryke Yeah I didn t know the eligibility but
Joe Shneider No volunteers are going to be Level I or Level II inspectors because the
Commissioner of the DNR has said that
Hoffman That s what s stated here under authorization Authorization for commissioner
delegation authority
15
89
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Joe Shneider Right so just to put the fine point on this unless the DNR is going to get
dramatically more staff you are not going to have the kind of inspectors that can require an
inspection or can turn away a boat Deny access which is what the wording in the chart is So
they re coming down with this They re coming up with new training They re coming up with
new programs New levels and it is a long way from being at your lake in any volume to make a
difference
Daniel Okay thanks Joe And thank you Greg Okay anyone else who would care to discuss
Mitch Krause Mitch Krause 2380 Timberwood Drive Chanhassen I think if you work on this
as they ve said before I support the recommendations you ve made and I d like to thank you for
that I m opposed to any gated access in any lakes in Chanhassen Thank you
Daniel Thank you Mitch
John Colford I m John Colford I m at 7470 Chanhassen Road I think the number I mean
we ve been saying the DNR s not going to be very effective but I think the number in the paper
was 17 inspectors for 3 000 boat launches statewide and that s the budget increase has created 17
inspector positions for 3 000 boat launches so I mean clearly that s next to useless Boat
launches are gated in the Twin Cities They re gated in Three River Park Districts They all
have well not all of them but many of them including parks with lakes with boat launches have
automated gates at the park entrance and they open you know at park opening and they close at
park closing They have motion sensor technology to let people who are in the park after hours
out So they exist They exist in our communities They exist in our communities around boat
launches so a gate would not be unprecedented Thanks
Daniel Thank you John
Gary Simons Gary Simons 7024 Tartan Curve Eden Prairie I think I m 12 houses away from
Chanhassen Just wanted to thank everybody here for their concern about the lakes I can t think
of anything more valuable to our recreational communities than keeping our lakes clean and with
the fear of not only zebra mussels but the big head carp scare the living daylights out of me as a
waterskier So I want to thank you I m one of these people that I guess is not in Chanhassen
that uses the lake I m all of a mile from the boat launch We use it frequently We think it s a
wonderful lake We ve been here for only 2 years Didn t even know it was there when I bought
the house and it made my day when we finally because it s a great spot to hang out We found
the inspectors to be very very knowledgeable and helpful They kind of surprised us the very
first time they were there but we didn t mind them taking a look at our boat I think it s a great
idea to try to keep everything that shouldn t be in the lake out of the lake But at the same time
I m a little worried on some of the hours and the idea behind if there is any sort of off site
inspection that we need to take place because I m sure like many families that are around the
lake who trailer it in it s one of those hey it s a nice night at dinnertime Let s go into the water
for the evening and if our evening is precluded from going into the water because we have to go
to some very off site inspection and don t get in there summer s short Evening s are short
You like to be able to use it We use it quite frequently We ll drop in at 7 30 or 8 00 at night
and spend an hour hour and a half and we ll be back out of there so I just want to make sure that
16
90
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
you keep that in mind as you determine whatever policies you have going forward If there s
ways that a gate could be used that would allow us to maybe stay there until the stars start to
come up before we pull out that would be terrific Thanks
Daniel Thank you Gary
Dave Vonfruke My name is Dave Vonfruke and I m from 131 Fox Hollow Drive and I m not a
property owner on a lake here in Chanhassen but we our family does have a cabin on the White
Fish chain and they re dealing with things akin to this too You know invasive species affect all
lakes and I care about those as well as the ones in Chanhassen but my what I just wanted to state
here is one of the attitudes of people up there that we ve run into because we have been doing
inspections and stuff up there over the last few years to try to combat this too Is people taking
the attitude well I m not going to inspect my boat or I m not going to do this because the lakes
are going to be infected anyway so who cares and that s that so that s one of the things that s
really kind of concerned me is that attitude that well all these species are going to get into the
lake anyway so why bother so to combat that sort of attitude I would definitely stress you know
inspections in some point to just combat I guess apathy so nobody s really mentioned that but
that s something that you know I saw people having that kind of attitude My jaw dropped So I
would just stress action over inactive
Daniel Okay thank you Dave
Bill Kirkvold My name is Bill Kirkvold I live at 201 Frontier Court in Chanhassen I took part
in the DNR so called training for boat inspectors here early this spring In fact it was the opening
day of fishing and I m appalled by the fact that the DNR presented this as some kind of
worthwhile training when indeed I come to find out today that it s really worth nothing and I
would encourage you to do something about this problem Not because of me living on Lotus
Lake but the fact that the DNR if we wait for the DNR to do something I think as a previous
person also stated it s going to be a long time before they get their stuff together and really have
something that s effect I think we need to take a leadership role here and look and see what s
the task that s really needed We can t sit back and wait for the DNR to say yeah well I think
we ll come up with a policy sooner or later We need to act now
Daniel Thank you Bill
Pat Pavelko Pat Pavelko 7203 Frontier Trail As Todd and Jerry probably know I do a lot of
walking in Chanhassen and the other day I was walking and I always walk by Lake Ann and I go
by the beach and I walk by Carver Beach on Lotus Lake and as I was walking by I thought with
the invasion of the zebra mussels all the people that use the beaches Lake Ann Lotus Lake and
we re just not talking Lotus Lake We re talking the Chanhassen lakes with the invasion of the
zebra mussels those beaches will practically be closed The zebra mussels are like razor blades
and once the lakes get infested you re not going to get rid of them Lake Ann is a very very
high commodity here in Chanhassen and that beach is used a lot We just mentioned Miracles of
Mitch Foundation that s going to have their fundraiser the world s largest kids triathlon Lake
Ann gets infested with zebra mussels they won t be having the triathlon at Lake Ann any more
The kids will not be able to use the beach They won t be able to swim I mean this we re
17
91
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
looking here at a crisis and I don t know if the City realizes the crisis that we have and it can t be
put on the back burner because it s they re going to be infested if the City doesn t take a
leadership role in stopping the spread It s very easy for a boat that s fishing on Lake
Minnetonka and to say you know what it s getting busy out here Let s go to Lotus Lake or let s
go to Lake Ann or go to Lake Minnewashta and let s fish It won t be that busy That one boat
that goes to Lake Minnewashta or Lake Ann you ve got a major major problem So the
leadership here you guys have to you have to lead You have to stop the invasion of these
mussels Thanks
Daniel Alright thank you Pat
Brian Kirkvold Brian Kirkvold 44 Center Street in Excelsior Just one quick comment and I ll
quote the DNR on this Zebra mussels are preventable so for someone to say that it s inevitable
it s just not true If you watch where the lakes are the zebra mussels are present a couple of
years ago versus now you ll notice they follow the freeways and they follow where people are
traveling to Those destination spots but Heidi Wolf Tom was in the meeting Steve Jenks was
in the meeting Heidi Wolf of the DNR zebra mussels are preventable
Daniel Alright thank you Brian Please feel free certainly if there s anybody else who s like to
comment or certainly ask questions If not what I d like to do now at this time is just take a few
minutes to discuss amongst the commission here as far as some of the issues and comments that
the residents have brought to us tonight Also with regards to the proposed motion or actually
leading up to the proposed motion by city staff and the commission here with regards to the
aquatic invasive species topic Peter we ll start with you
Aldritt I guess I want to say thank you for all your guys time and efforts put into this project
see you care about the lakes as much as all the other citizens and the councilmembers up here
I m sure And I would I guess I d like to see as far as putting a gate in and carrying on further
maintenance of it would Lotus Lake Alliance would they be able to take on that maintenance
farther down the road or would that have to be fall on the city Okay so down the road if it
needed to be repaired or maintained you guys would be able to take care of that That s all for
me right now
Daniel Thank you Peter Brent
Carron I guess we ve got a couple different issues here outside of the well the one main issue I
see is got some people looking for a gate with access key or a code and then some people just
looking for a gate for non operational park hours I don t really know how to address individual
ones or one other than the other Is that what I m hearing You guys are looking for the gate for
the just non operational hours Open and closed during
Steve Jenks Let me clarify for you
Carron Okay
18
92
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Steve Jenks Our purpose would be two fold but the reality is the gate that we would provide to
control the overnight hours would enable us later with no changes to participate in the pilot
program that we re talking about so I can separate those issues If the City decides not to move
forward with the pilot program you still have a gate to control the overnight hours Does that
help
Carron Okay Yep
Steve Jenks Thank you
Ryan Chair Daniels could we possibly have some comments from all of us first just one what
was said and then move forward with each request and take it one by one so we re all talking
about the same thing at the same time
Daniel We can certainly do that
Ryan Okay
Daniel Probably a good idea from an organization standpoint With regards to enforce park
hours and really there s two ways to do that and we ve had Lieutenant Enevold come here and
discuss sheriff officers position on that issue so and really the other alternative which certainly
the Lake Alliance Association wants to discuss is the addition of a gate or the implementation of
a gate of some sort to control park hours so Elise
Ryan Before I go there first of all I would like to thank everybody for coming tonight It s
great to see such cooperation and community involvement and obviously we like hearing your
concerns Your passion for the city in which you live or visit and personally before after the
meeting that we had last time I did some due diligence and asked people in the community that
live on the lakes as well as people that trailer their lakes just to get an understanding of where
their coming from a convenience standpoint From a homeowner s standpoint and you know
and I found an overwhelming support for where you are at so that was interesting to me and help
me understanding that your viewpoint as well as some of the recommendations One of the other
pieces that I d like to talk about is just from an environmental standpoint I m a big believer in
less government but in this situation I don t believe that the environmental will take care of itself I believe that it s the citizens job to help move some of those things forward and I
appreciate your efforts to push the DNR and speak to your community partners and leaders and
share your concerns and help educate us because there s obviously a lot of issues that the City
County and State officials deal with on a daily basis and so some things do slip through the
cracks so I appreciate you guys bringing this to our attention so we can take you know put those
safeguards in place and protect the environment And then this was mentioned by a couple
different people this evening which I do believe in that we should be leaders as opposed to
followers I think we have wonderful assets in this community that we should protect and it
would you know be a wonderful situation to be a leader to have the rest of the state to follow us
and set the example for how to protect one of the most fabulous natural resources we have in the
state of Minnesota With that said I know Tom I believe that you weren t pleased with the
recommendation for this evening but as we as we walk through each piece of it I know the first
19
93
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
one is about enforcing park hours And with the with you know great appreciation what our law
enforcement does within this community I do agree with the Lieutenant and don t support having
the zero tolerance policy and having them come to the lakes However I do support at this time
some sort of a gate but I d like to discuss that as we move you know kind of through the through
this process but I don t I just don t support having the extra enforcement at the lakes at this time
So that s my stance on that so thank you
Daniel Great Elise Tom
Tom Kelly I do have a couple quick questions and a comment In terms of who would control
the gate there s got to be a guy that actually programs in those times Is that guy a city guy or is
that guy an association guy I guess that s my question on the gate Who actually controls the
gate You re going to buy it You re going to install it You re going to maintain it but does the
city actually control the gate
Steve Jenks I would agree to that I don t see any reason why not We don t want to control
the hours That s the City s to do I think
Tom Kelly Alright I don t mean
Steve Jenks Right I mean that s how I see it
Tom Kelly Alright Second question I have is with the with what Todd had sent out about
state law does not allow for mandatory watercraft inspections so what the volunteers are doing
right now is essentially asking if a boat would like to be inspected and the boat owner could say
no and put the boat in the water
Steve Jenks State law doesn t allow for a citizen to control a requirement for inspection
Tom Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks A DNR inspector at the right level of qualification can
Tom Kelly Cando it
Steve Jenks Can require an inspection and can require a decontamination as well and can refuse
access to the take
Tom Kelly Okay so all the boats that you are inspecting and what is
Steve Jenks On a volunteer basis
Tom Kelly That s all and the boat owners are volunteering to turn their boat or they re not
required to turn the boat away
20
94
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Steve Jenks Right We re not getting in any boats We re not you know opening compartments
and that sort of thing
Tom Kelly Okay
Steve Jenks We don t do anything that the boat owner doesn t allow us to do and we don t I
mean we re not I think it s a liability issue for us as well as it is for the DNR There s some
questions as to what we can and can t do that way so we don t want to step over that line any
more than anybody else would It would be a problem
Tom Kelly Right okay One comment I want to make is is I walk my dog and sometimes at
Bandimere Park at 5 30 and you know I don t want to get a ticket for walking my dog prior to
the posted hours but the chances of me affecting the ecosystem of Bandimere Park by walking
my dog at 5 30 is infinitismo and I don t necessarily believe that s the case with the lake so I do
agree with Elise I understand saying if you restrict one public access you have to restrict
everything with parks and lakes but I think this is a special case and I ask the commission to
consider that zebra mussels is a separate case that doesn t really affect the vast majority of our
parks that we have public access ordinances to
Daniel Okay Great thank you Tom And Peter with regards specifically to the enforcement of
park hours is there any other comments that you want to share
Aldritt No I guess I agree with your comments too on the gate I think it s important to kind
of take action on enforcing those hours and with what the sheriff has stated you know obviously
they have other priorities to watch over in the city and this gate would allow those hours to be
enforced with little impact to the sheriff
Daniel Brent anything else you d like to share
Carron Yeah I just I m inbetween I think a gate to operate operation hours is I could maybe
tolerate that The problem I have is to say that we re as an association are going to bear the
costs of the gate bear the repairs but yet it s still the City s gate The City s going to take if the
power goes out the City s got to is going to have to deal with it If it breaks the City s going to
have to either bill the homeowners association of whatever and there could be some flack back
and forth on you know costs or I m just looking at it as a standpoint where I m inbetween I
think it s a good idea as far as just operating hours only Not during the daytime but then I also
have a side of the City where the City s going to bear the responsibility The City I mean
you re going to have to have someone check it Make sure it s working properly There is some
bear on the City as far as responsibility and that s kind of making me teeter right now with the
gate and I guess I m bringing this up because I don t know how to get around it
Daniel Yep
Tom Devine Let me just address that if I may
Carron Sure
21
95
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Tom Devine You know we re breaking new ground and I think the issue is I think what we re
trying to put forth is there s a willingness to provide resource at non taxpayer expense to try to
make this work and the issues of I think it s appropriate that the City actually you know program
the gate and set you know set the pad or whatever it is that you know makes it work
electronically And whether that s done some gates are handled electronically from a remote
locations I ve heard all sorts of different things about the gates That s part of the homework
that we really need to look at in terms of what it is The issue is we re willing to take on and
work with whatever the sources are to make the thing work mechanically To make sure that it
isn t about trying to deny access to anybody It s about trying to make the thing work and I think
what we have to do is have enough flexibility to try something and see what happens you know
That s what the pilot s about is to try to work through those issues and I think it s a cooperative
effort Certainly if people that live by the gate if the gate doesn t work or something they re
going to report it and you know who s the service contract with that s going to be taking care of
it and that sort of thing I think what we have to do is be flexible enough to say we re all in it
together We want to make the thing work effectively It isn t about trying to put a stumbling
block in front of everybody but at least the resources have been put forth or they re being
committed to to try to make this whole thing come together I think that s the thing you ve got to
look at is what are the resources and billing this group or charging this or whatever we ll work
through that and make it happen you know I m sure that that s the willingness that all of us
have And if it doesn t work you take the gate out You say okay it didn t work You know
whatever it is it didn t happen The whole idea is to try something to see what it is because we
cannot staff or put you know young girls in these parks after 10 00 at night or having people
there before 5 00 in the morning or 5 30 and I want to point out you know there s 10 stalls down
there and 2 handicap stalls That was an agreement that when that boat ramp was built was a
very complex agreement that was laid out with the neighbors in terms of what that was and the
hours the enforcement of the hours was one of the stipulations that was made to the person that
sold the land to the city state or federal government or whoever ended up paying for it on what
was going to happen there and those stalls it s not unusual to have 4 5 6 boats all launched
before 5 30 in the morning which is 50 60 percent of the boats that are allowed onto the lake
Those fishing boats are in there before the hours so it really is about helping to control the on and
off of the lake you know and that s why the gate thing is there And I certainly understand the
Lieutenant can t go down there and be in every one of the locations and that s why the gate is I
mean they have them in parking ramps all over town I mean it s a new technology It s there to
help us
Carron One other thing is that with the gate is one thing but then I guess we I would feel more
comfortable talking with the association as well as far as seeing what their actually plan is as far
as having someone at the launch Someone you know watching it during park hours and how
many holes are there going to be Obviously there s going to be scheduling conflicts and that
sort of thing but if we do put in a gate to hold people back to park hours how many hours are
actually going to be watched during open hours With the volunteers
Daniel Okay You know with regards to the enforcement of park hours by the sheriff s office
and I agree with I think most of the commissioners sentiments here that given the scope of the
duty that they have and currently I d say priorities and especially being the safety of our citizens
22
96
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
more so than the certain aquatic species in our lake or invasive aquatic species in our lake that
certainly is a priority number one and I think certainly it I agree with him from the spirit of the
law that or least from the aspect of the spirit of the law that certainly it needs to be left to each
sheriff or each officer to make that judgment call With regards to the enforcement or the
implementation of a gate from my perspective it is something I am against My reasons are
fairly simple and I think they became more to light and certainly I ll certainly let comments on
that One happens to be that I do believe that there is the ultimate goal that of trying to
implement this into the pilot program and I know Steve that you certainly made a comment that
that is not something the City s interested in We have with park hours but I do believe that is
certainly that s certainly the ultimate goal and from my perspective that s unacceptable and it s
from one very simple reason I have a mother who fishes and she s 67 years old and fishes She
goes to Lake Ann and Todd s probably seen her out there fishing and she has no interest in
driving to Minnewashta and then having to go to Lake Ann or Lotus Lake That will in my mind
deter her from doing something that she likes That decision was pretty simple on whether or not
I support that program So and I think she s just a microcosm of how other people feel about
that particular policy The other comment that was made tonight that certainly brought to light
is and I do believe there s some concern about restriction My view with regards to Lotus Lake
Lake Ann Lake Susan is that s a Minnesota lake that happens to be in the city of Chanhassen
When people buy boat permits they don t buy Chanhassen boat permits They buy a Minnesota
permit and that permit allows them to fish on every single lake in this state that we get access to
Without restriction and I fully do believe that so with those two things really come into play 1
it s hard for at least and again this is my opinion I m 1 of 5 here tonight and 1 of 7 on the
commission I find it difficult for me to consider that currently There was a comment made
about Bryant Lake Park and Three Rivers Absolutely Same thing with Carver County Park
and Minnewashta They do have gates They ve gated the parks themselves So certainly that
and if you consider Lotus itself for example Lake Ann is pretty simple to gate It s a single
access point and it s quite a long ways to get into it Lotus Lake for example if you were to gate
that facility you re also gating potentially a neighborhood as well I mean I m just looking at
the scope well I guess the access point when you take a right going down but your parking s on
the other side of the road and that same road is shared residents if I remember correctly I was
just there on Friday So again there s some complexities I just don t think need to be if we were
to if the commission certainly were to consider it obviously it d be further discussed but I just
see that you know there s certainly as I like to use the term and we use it a lot slippery slope
going down that direction as far as with the gate It doesn t necessarily mean that I don t want to
consider the importance of the invasive aquatic species I learned to swim on Lotus Lake so
certainly I grew up and even though I m a 40 year resident here so this is also important to me
So you know and you re actually right One of the questions I had for Todd was what about the
beaches That s the very first priority from my standpoint Lake Ann it is a commodity and part
of it is you know and his response to me is we don t know I mean you can look on Lake
Michigan You can see pictures and I ve gone on the internet and looked there are some horrific
pictures of what we see on the public beaches but Minnetonka s had it for a year and you know
Robinson Bay is highly infected I do believe Yet we re still swimming over at Excelsior beach
so please Yes Joe please step up

Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Joe Shneider If I can Couple points Number one the adult zebra mussels typically don t die
for about 5 to 6 years and it s only at that point in the cycle that you would get volumes of shells
on the beach so you ve got
Daniel It s a wash up issue
Joe Shneider You get some now from let s call it premature death but you re going to get
substantial amounts in 5 to 6 years So that just gives you a perspective
Daniel Sure
Joe Shneider We re not there far enough in the cycle yet at Lake Minnetonka
Daniel Okay
Joe Shneider I think the second point is if I can commissioner I would really ask you decouple
potential during operating hours use of a gate and any controls which we have no right to do at
this point in time It s a desire but there is no right to do that Separate that completely from the
concept of gating the non operating hours which will not affect your mother at all unless she s
there before park hours
Daniel Yeah and that won t happen either So certainly you know again that with specific to
the gate and really what I see that s just where I share my thoughts on What I d like to do and
maybe it might make sense is we may have to I suppose as we go through each subject we
should probably since we have various opinions on each one of these maybe make a motion for
each three Would that be an agreement of the commission so we can address each one
individually Why don t we come back and let s move on to adopting you know questions
regarding policy of adopting aquatic invasive species policy
Hoffman Chair Daniels
Daniel Yeah please Todd
Hoffman Just two points before the commission makes a recommendation and also for
conversation with the audience members And one point was made early on and one was made
later and we ve recently talked about it again The first point is the position of the DNR
Commissioner Our recollection is that he was talking about the pilot program to mandate that
people go to Lake Minnewashta That he did not support I don t believe he was referring to the
volunteer inspection program Second issue is what are our zebra mussels spread and they re
found in Lotus Lake or they re found in Lake Ann what are these lakes going to look like 10
years from now 20 years from now 50 years from now What are the beaches going to look like
and again in my conversation with Chair Daniels we don t know but I think there are clear
differences that we can all at least appreciate The pictures that we re seeing from the Great
Lakes there is a very large amount of water space area and then substrate for these organisms
to live on Our lakes are primarily mud bottoms and or sand in some areas These things
require either vegetation or they re not really from what I ve seen very aggressively making
24
98
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
colonization with either sand or gravel and so a lake like Lake Minnetonka probably has lot more
sand and gravel and rock but lakes like Mille Lacs obviously have a lot more so you re going to
have a volume of water You re going to have a lot higher volume of these organisms I don t
believe and I just want to deter any fears I don t believe Lake Ann if Lake Ann gets zebra
mussels is ever going to be not able to be swam at that beach The volume of zebra mussels that
would wash up in my opinion just wouldn t be great enough You could clean the volume that
would make their way to that beach and so I can t guarantee that but I think that s something if
you think about it A water body like at Lake Ann really has no rocky shores or gravel areas
It s all vegetation Mud bottom The colonization of zebra mussels is going to be much different
in each individual water body if they happen to make their way into those different places so I
just wanted to have everyone keep that in mind
Daniel Please
Pat Pavelko Just one clarification is that this is aquatic invasive species It s not just zebra
mussels It s also perhaps you ve heard of quagga mussels It s very similar to the zebra mussel
They re located near the Great Lakes They re coming this way They attach to soft bottoms so
you have the zebra mussel on harder surfaces Quagga mussels on soft bottoms so and there s
additional invasive species coming after that so I ve got a whole pamphlet of them here
Audience We said we did
Daniel So with the adoption of aquatic invasive species having a discussion about that Elise
please Questions comments
Ryan Well I mean I don t have a lot to say about this I definitely support having an area
adopting a very aggressive invasive species policy I think forming a committee or a group with
the citizens involvement with the advisory committees and get the local county and state and
regional governing bodies involved I think this should happen sooner than later to you know to
I know a lot of things take time but to allow this to progress I d like to move on this or make the
recommendation to move on this quickly and aggressively
Daniel Okay Tom
Tom Kelly I agree with what Elise just said No additional comments from me
Daniel Brent
Carron I agree
Daniel Okay Pete
Aldritt I agree also Yeah I think it s important to move This is something fairly simple
Well not very simple to employ but a good way to increase education and allow citizens to help
out and do their part too
25
99
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Daniel And Todd really what when you re looking at in the proposed motion that we had
prior that you have laid out or that we ve discussed it recommended that the City comply with
accepted DNR create to step If some sort of policy was to be in place is what the from the City
standpoint both with you and Lake Action Alliance had discussed is it something to adopt
When you re talking about continued discussions and education is that something to adopt a
policy like this I mean is this what the ultimate goal what you re trying to accomplish having a
city policy or not
Hoffman That s not the intent in the staff s recommendation
Daniel Okay
Hoffman I m not sure what the numbers are at the State level It was 4 million Now I believe
it s maybe 7 million but they re investing a great deal of money I think it s over 7 million now
for aquatic invasive species The entire budget of the City of Chanhassen is under 10 million
dollars for an annual operating budget That s within all sorts of things so it really is again is a
policy If you want to make a recommendation to the council that they form an AIS committee
and to form some type of policy that s your discussion and then that s the decision of the City
Council
Daniel Correct And I think that s one of the things again we have to remember Everything
that we re discussing certainly is recommendations to the council
Ryan Right
Daniel implemented or certainly sets a policy so please understand that And as far as from
my standpoint I m open either way Again I do agree this is certainly an issue one that needs to
be discussed further along with further education I think That s the additional intent of what
the DNR s been trying to do with regards to doing a simple thing like removing the plugs I
mean I guess where you re looking at when you re trying to address a large contingency of or a
large population that have boats it s kind of taking it down to the simplest form is your first step
in action and obviously the simplest thing is removing your plug when you leave a lake That
the plug has to remain out until you re ready to launch again Whether or not you put the plug
back in is your own responsibility and how fast your bilge may work but nonetheless you know
that will be again another education that everyone is going to have to go through So when we
consider some policies obviously we have to also have concern what s the policy that is going to
be specific to what we re going to try to do here in Chanhassen What we re trying to
accomplish and also what makes best practice and policy for everybody else and all the other
citizens within or residents within our city because again that s you know our first charter And
although I talk about what that the lakes are access for everyone when we create a policy from
that standpoint it s really what how it s going to be implemented in the city of Chanhassen so
I m indifferent either way but it certainly it d be interesting to see what type of feedback we get
as we continue down these discussions I think it s something that we don t want to halt and we
want to continue to discuss so
26
100
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Ryan For a question Todd So for when we make this recommendation should we be specific
to the council on who that group is or is that can we be as specific as
Hoffman That s up to your discretion
Daniel Again whether the council wants to change it or not their own discretion
Ryan Right but the more specific we are okay
Daniel Things can change obviously but thank you Elise
Ryan Sure
Daniel Alright If there are any other comments with regard to the AIS policy why don t we
move onto the support of the volunteer aquatic invasive species education program specific to
South Lotus Lake Beach so or South Lotus Lake boat access So Brent why don t we start with
you Any comments
Carron No Not regarding that I would just go along with what the recommended action
would be and that would be to continue to support for this bullet point
Daniel Okay Peter
Aldritt Yeah I agree with Brent Go along with what the recommendation is That states it
clearly
Daniel Elise
Ryan I agree 1 d like to make that recommendation but I d also like to make a public thank
you to Todd and the City for working hard with the different lake associations I know you have
all thanked him and I know that there has been challenges but there you know I think we
educate each other and I think Todd and his staff have done a great job in working with lake
associations as well as informing us as a commission so I d like to thank Todd and the staff for
their work on this
Daniel Thank you Elise Tom
Tom Kelly I agree I don t have any additional
Daniel And certainly I agree with the rest of the commissioners I mean you know this is an
important subject obviously and one that s been brought to our attention very quickly here
Although it s you know we all read about it in the paper I agree that we certainly need to take
some sort of leadership role with regards to addressing this issue So I guess you know to
continue the discussion and support of the volunteer program I agree with completely You
know I wish there were some DNR program in place that gave you you know to be honest with
you some authority to at least make those inspections I don t think there ll be anybody here
27
101
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
that will certainly object to that So again as far as the volunteer program that is in place you
know that s something again I want to see the City certainly work out very closely with from my
opinion with the various organizations and associations so with that do we have any other
questions for staff Okay or any other comments as a whole And certainly if there s any other
opportunities one last time that anybody would like to make a comment please feel free If not
we re going to go ahead and make a motion Todd I think we re going to probably have to
venture off the script a little bit here since I think it would be a lot easier at least an
organizational standpoint to address each proposed motion For each one of these three subjects
If you don t mind and because again there s certainly various opinions Go ahead Tom
Tom Kelly I recommend we start at the bottom and work our way up The third one and
Daniel Yeah let s go ahead and do that So Tom since you made the suggestion I m going to
leave it up to you
Tom Kelly No I m actually not going to make that motion I ll let someone else make it
Daniel You re sure
Tom Kelly Yep
Daniel Okay Well and I think part of that motion really is a portion of what s been laid out
beforehand and that s really to formalize a relationship between the City and volunteer groups
conducting education and voluntary inspections The City has recommended that it s been
recommended that the City comply with an action of the DNR AIS Volunteer Manual and create
a written agreement between the City and volunteer groups outlining expectations and
procedures for adoption by the City Council so from that standpoint with regards to the volunteer
inspections and the continued education and working with the City on this issue why don t we
go ahead and make a well I guess that is a motion Why don t we find second it
Carron I ll second it
Daniel moved Carron seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend
that the City comply with an action step in the DNR AIS Volunteer Manual and create a
written agreement between the City and volunteer groups outlining expectations and
procedures for adoption by the City Council All voted in favor and the motion carried
unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
Hoffman To clarify
Daniel Please
Hoffman That motion was made to the City Council correct
Daniel Correct With regards to the adoption of an aquatic invasive species policy I think there
might be this is I guess is kind of where I m indifferent I think if there s some specific Elise
28
102
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
seemed to comment a little bit more than some of the other commissions If there s something
that you d like to lead or have an idea on
Ryan Tom did you write this motion down or not
Tom Kelly No I did not no
Ryan Okay One quick question or comment before I make a motion for this Steve I know
you said that you will answer those questions by the end of the week Will you make sure you
answer those questions by the end of the week please
Steve Jenks I d also add that Todd Gerhardt is dragging some answers to me in that same list of
questions so we re both remiss We need to talk to each other and I don t say that to be mean
We ll work this out between us
Ryan Okay Alright
Steve Jenks There s on my side of the equation there s a group I m working with and so if you
can imagine there s 4 or 5 different drafts for what the answers are but I can get those done
Ryan Okay just that the questions that were in the packet that we received I think having some
of those answers would be very helpful
Steve Jenks Absolutely
Ryan As we move forward
Steve Jenks Yeah I m happy to support that thanks
Ryan Okay thank you
Daniel Okay Elise
Ryan So itwould the commission would make a recommendation that the City Council moves
forward with the very aggressive approach in terms of timing and developing a policy with the
input of the citizens city advisory committees and local county state and regional governing
bodies to adopt an aquatic invasive species policy
Daniel Okay Second
Tom Kelly
Ryan moved Tom Kelly seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend
that the City Council moves forward with the very aggressive approach in terms of timing
and developing a policy with the input of the citizens city advisory committees and local
Q7

county state and regional governing bodies to adopt an aquatic invasive species policy All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
Daniel Okay Let s move onto the really address the issue I think what it comes down to is the
gate at South Lotus Lake Park boat access If there wants to be a motion that wants to be moved
Tom Kelly Sure I move that the Park and Recreation Commission recommends to the City
Council to approve the installation of an electronic gate at the public access at Lotus Lake to
enforce the posted lake access hours This gate will be purchased installed and maintained at the
expense of the Lake Action Alliance group with the only initial expense to the City being the
electrical hook up Additional gate management issues will be worked out between the City of
Chanhassen and the Lake Action Alliance group
Daniel Okay get a second
Ryan Second
Tom Kelly moved Ryan seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommends
to the City Council to approve the installation of an electronic gate at the public access at
Lotus Lake to enforce the posted lake access hours This gate will be purchased installed
and maintained at the expense of the Lake Action Alliance group with the only initial
expense to the City being the electrical hook up Additional gate management issues will
be worked out between the City of Chanhassen and the Lake Action Alliance group All
voted in favor except Daniel and Carron who opposed The motion carried with a vote of
3 to 2
Daniel I think that s about it With regards to our the aquatic invasive species discussion
specifically to the three points that we just got done talking about so certainly we again
appreciate those residents who had an opportunity to stop by tonight and take time out of your
busy Tuesday night to further discuss this and give us an opportunity to listen so again thank
you If there are any questions please contact the City Also as well you know feel free to talk to
your City Council representatives
Hoffman Just so everyone is aware on how things take place now The Minutes will be typed
and prepared and then the recommendations from the commission will be forward to my office
and the office of the City Manager The City Manager will discuss those with the Mayor and
then they make a decision on whether or not this issue is placed or the timing of when they re
going to place that on a future City Council agenda
Daniel Okay thank you Todd As far as new business Todd anything else that needs to be
discussed Is that it
Hoffman That s it
Audience I have one question
30
104
Park and Recreation Commission August 9 2011
Daniel Please
Audience Before we adjourn In the interest of moving quickly which I believe all of you
agreed you know we want to move quickly as far as the aquatic invasive species Can we do
something to encourage the City Council to act quickly in the motion to so something to jump
start it
Daniel Todd you re more familiar with procedure than I am What type of
Hoffman I think your motion s presented that
Daniel No as far as I think what he might be looking for further is just you know what does it
take to you mentioned that it s going to be up to the City Council themselves to set the agenda
correct
Hoffman Correct
Daniel Okay and whether or not and when they take this when they want to take this
Hoffman Yeah it s their decision As a citizen you re best recourse or your best action is to
contact them
Daniel Correct And that s exactly right alright thank you Todd Okay

Dear AIS Volunteer
Thank you for expressing interest in volunteering your time to help protect Minnesota s precious
natural resources by volunteering at public water access The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources relies on volunteers like you to help get the word out about invasive species The
potential for invasive species to spread from one water body to another is very high We need people like you to help educate boaters throughout the state to maintain clean boats and clean
waters
The DNR looks at your participation as a means for building bridges with communities of concerned citizens This partnership will help accomplish the two primary goals of this
program to increase public awareness about the threats of invasive species to Minnesota waters
and to provide education for individuals to help prevent the spread of invasive species
The process for becoming a partner with the DNR to help combat invasive species is outlined in
the pages that follow We strongly encourage you to take an active role in this partnership and
help protect Minnesota s waters near you
Thank you for your time and support

Overview of the AIS Volunteer Program
Purpose
The purpose of die AIS Volunteer Program is to educate die public about invasive species at the public access These intcractions at die access serve to teach people about invasive species such as Eurasian watermilfoil zebra mussels rufle spiny waterflea and others that can invade our water
bodies You will tell boaters how to comply with Minnesota laws regarding invasive species and help people understand die necessary steps and places to look on their boat and trailer for invasive
species Please remember that your role is as an AIS volunteer and that you are not authorized to
require watercraft inspections Watercraft users are not required to speak with you and dhc Iiroccss is completely voluntary and educational
General Re quirements
1 ALL people who wish to be AIS volunteers must submit a completed
background check form and register as DNR volunteers see attached forms
2 Notify local DNR Conservation Officers and Trails and Waterways staff two
weeks prior to tie first time volunteers will be inspecting at an access
Things To DO as a Volunteer
Be sensitive to the boater and cnccouragc cooperation this will incip them
remember us
Show the boater where to check for invasive species walk around t lhe boat widh
them
Show boaters examples of die invasive species using the II cards and or
brochures
Keep to the point if it is busy people will be wanting to get on die water
Have fun you are doing a great thing for Minnesota
Things NOT 1 O DO as a Volunteer
Do not touch handle or go iii or on the boater s equipment
Do not put boaters or yourself at risk for injury Use comn ion sense at all
times General precautions include making sure the car is in park before going near the trailer and never ask die boater to crawl under die boat
Do runt order or demand that boaters do anything if they arc disinterested or
argumentative Remember that while you are serving as an educating body you
have no authority above that of an average citizen
Steps for speaking with watercraft users at the access
Step 1 Getting Organized
108
Develop a committee to organize die volunteers
Detennine how many lake access sites you have oil your lake and whether they are public or private
Detenninc volunteer nunnbcrs needed or speaking with watercraft users we recommend
at least 2 per site
Get written approval from access ownncrs or managers before scheduling inspections if it is a non DNR access
Notify local DNR Parks and Trails stall at least 2 weeks in advance of your start date if DNR is the access adminristrator see list in back
Notify local DNR Conservation officer at least 2 weeks prior to your start date
Step 2 Volunteer Organization
Before the start of the season have all volunteers trained by the MN DNR If you wish to have a second training session we can help wide this as well A DNR employee must conduct each training session
Have each volunteer fill out die background form at die training session and turn it in
immediately you will only be notified if you do NOT pass die background check Register each volunteer with die DNR Volunteer Program by tuniing in the form attached
to dais packet
Step 3 Gather Needed Materials
Signs These will identify to boaters what is happening so they are aware bclore
you approach them at each access site Sigjis should clearly say Invasive Species Awareness Event sponsored by name of group
Identification for Volunteers fI his will help boaters recognize who is
conducting the event and provide credibility for your event Hats are available oil
order from die DNR or else Ixnke Association or order organlZa6onnal attire could be
worn
Educational Materials These can be sent out by dne Program Assistant via
request From die event coordinator A complete list of available resources is
attached
Step 4 Conduct Boater Education
All volunteers should be trained inn how to educate watercraft users before the season It is
essential to remember not to pressure die boater and to keep the atnnospincre educational
After introducing yourself and your purpose you will follow the process below to Inelp boaters ensure they aren t transporting invasive species
109
Watercraft user education process
SET UP AT ACCESS
Volunteers post signs explaining that they are speaking to watercraft users about invasive
species and who is sponsoring the inspections at access site
INTRODUCTION TO BOATER As vehicle approaches
Introduce yourself
Hi I m an AIS volunteer with the insert organization for example Hay Like Association and we are here to share information about invasive species with you
Our purpose for being out here is to keep EWM 7M and other invasive species from sprcadinng to other lakes I will start by having you look your watercraft over with me so
I call show you some places you should check for invasive species and then 1 have a few quick questions to ask you
BOAT CHECK
Il you would walk around lie boat with tie I run point out some areas to look for invasive species
Start the boat check at the trailer winch post on lie driver s side Walk completely around tine boat and end at die passenger side winch post
Look into die boat to check the anchor a xl anchor line for plants snails mussels and
waterfleas Spiny waterflcas are likely to collect on anchor lines llslung lines and
dowuriggers
C Beck rollers and railer bunks fir attached plants talk about EWM and what lie
problems associated with it arc remind dnenn they must remove all vegetation before
transporting die boat 10 be in compliance with die law tell diem
EWM grows in dense surface maths that interfere wide many types ofwater rccrcatioin It
out connpetes native vegetation needed by fish and wildlife It also grows very last up to 2 per day Also see the EWM info at die end of dais packet
When you get to tie trailer fender look at die axle using a flashlight if possible including oil the opposite side for plants Aquatic plants are likely to attach to trailer
lower unit and prop and waterfowl decoy lines fishing lures Also check license plates and taillight wires
Look closely for zebra mussels snails spiny waterfleas and osier species that may be attached to the hull of the boat and equipnncnt Look especially close at the lower unit
and motor parts that would be below the waterline I Jse your flashlight to see under the boat and into the shadows Pell them about the problems associated with zebra
mussels
110
Zebra mussels can reduce food that is needed by fish and other organisms clog intake
pipes for industry litter beaches with sharp shells and cahh foul boat hulls and cause
boat engines to overheat They reproduce quickly one female can produce up to one
million eggs per summer Also see the ZM information at the end of this packet
Note Zebra mussels New Zealand mudsnails and mystery snails are likely to attach
on the transom and lower unit of motor and aquatic plants

Step 5 Follow Up
Dispose of collected plant fragments appropriately so they won t wash back into die lake
Aquatic plants carrot be transported away from the site but slioulcl be placed in a trash container or in a grassy or wooded area at the access
Other Volunteer Opportunities
Speaking wide watercraft users at the public water access is only one of maniy opportunities available to lake associations interested in protecting Minnesota s waters Some of die possible opportunities include things such as installing invasive alert signs at lake accesses and conducting Eurasian watennilfoil cliecks on area lakes Volunteers
can also educate die public dirough the distribution ol iuformationnal pamphlets and conducting public presentations about invasive species The Departmennt ol Natural Resources is also supportive of new ideas from lake associations and is willing to work cooperatively wide volunteers to develop successful programs to protect Minnesota s waters
Minnesota invasive species laws
Introduction
Minnesota has several state laws intended to minimize the introduction and spread of invasive species of wild animal and aquatic plants in the state The state designated several invasive species using a four tiered classification system Invasive species are classified as either prohibited regulated unregulated and unlisted invasive species The classification process establishes the level of regulation and types of allowable uses for each species The following is a summary of the many current state regulations regarding invasive species For complete current information on state statutes and rules regarding harmful invasive species call the DNR Invasive Species Program at 651 259 5100 or visit the invasive species statutes and rules at the Office of the Revisor of Statutes
Prohibited invasive species
Certain invasive species that can threaten natural resources and their use have been designated as prohibited invasive species in Minnesota It is unlawful a misdemeanor to possess import purchase transport or introduce these species except under a ep rmit for disposal control

Regulated invasive and unlisted nonnative species
Regulated and unlisted invasive species are legal to possess sell buy and transport but they may not be introduced into a free living state such as being released or planted in public waters
The regulated invasive species are
Aquatic plants

Unlisted nonnative species are those that are not prohibited regulated or unregulated Several steps must occur before an unlisted nonnative species may be legally released into a free living state an application and supporting information must be filed with the DNR by the individual proposing to release the species a thorough evaluation by the DNR and designation of the species into an appropriate classification
Transportation prohibitions
Current state law prohibits transportation of all aquatic plants with a few exceptions This law will not only help prevent the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil but it will also reduce the risk of zebra mussels being transported while attached to aquatic plants And it will reduce the
inadvertent transport of other harmful plants into or within the state
Under state law it is unlawful to
transport aquatic plants see except as allowed in statute except as allowed in statute 50 civil penalty or misdemeanor
transport zebra mussels and other prohibited species of animals on a public road 250 civil penalty or misdemeanor

drain plugs bailers valves or other devices used to control the draining of water from ballast tanks bilges and live wells must be removed or opened while transporting watercraft and water related equipment marine sanitary systems and portable bait containers used by aquatic farms are exempt from this requirement
Regulations in infested waters
Each year the DNR designates waters that contain populations of Eurasian watermilfoil faucet snail New Zealand mudsnail zebra mussel ruffe round goby spiny water flea VHS fish disease and white perch as infested waters Fuel Those waters will be posted at the public water
accesses The following regulations apply to activities in infested waters
taking wild animals fish frogs crayfish etc from infested waters for bait or aquatic farms is prohibited
except for commercial purposes by permit in some Eurasian watermilfoil infested waters and bait

limited to cylindrical minnow traps not exceeding 16 inches in diameter and 32 inches in length
all nets traps buoys anchors stakes and lines used for commercial fishing or turtle frog or crayfish harvesting in an infested water that is designated because it contains invasive fish invertebrates or
certifiable diseases as defined in section 17 4982 may not be used in any other waters
equipment used for commercial fishing purposes in infested waters that are designated solely because they contain eurasian watermilfoil must be dried or frozen before it can be used in noninfested waters
misdemeanor

Spread of Eurasian watermilfoil
and problems caused by the
plant
What is Eurasian watermilfoil and where is it
native
Eurasian watermilfoil is a non native invasive submersed
aquatic plant that is native to Europe and Asia It was
discovered i the eastern US some before 1950 In
Minnesota it was first recorded in Lake Minnetonka in 1987
How does Eurasian watermilfoil spread
Milfoil is believed to spread from one body of water to another
primarily by the unintentional transfer of plant fragments primarily on trailered boats
What can be done to prevent the spread of
Eurasian watermilfoil
The most important action that you can take to limit the spread
of milfoil and other aquatic invsive plants is to remove all
vegetation from your watercraft before you move it from one
body of water to another
If you think that you have found a new infestation of
Eurasian watermilfoil please contact the DNR 651 259
5149 in the Twin Cities or toll free 1 888 646 6367 in
greater Minnesota It is very helpful to send a sample of the
suspected milfoil plants to the DNR for identification Put
suspected milfoil in a zip loc bag and mail it to
Eurasian Watermilfoil Program
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
Division of Ecological Services Box 25
500 Lafayette Rd St Paul MN 55155 4025
Why is Eurasian watermilfoil a problem Milfoil can interfere with recreational and other uses of lakes
and rivers by producing dense mats at the water s surface
These mats are similar to but can be more extensive than
those produced by native vegetation Matted milfoil can
displace native aquatic plants and alter environmental
conditions which in turn may harm fish and wildlife
Where is Eurasian watermilfoil a problem
In Minnesota milfoil has caused problems in lakes by producing extensive mats where water depths are less than 15 feet water clarity is high mid summer Secchi disk readings of
six feet or more and the fertility of the bottom ranges from
moderate to high
Milfoil has not caused extensive problems in every body of
water where it is established Milfoil generally does not
produce mats at the surface in water more than 15 feet deep
In lakes with low water clarity mid summer Secchi disk
readings less than six feet milfoil has not produced mats in
water more than six feet deep if at all In areas of lakes
where the fertility of the bottom is low for example in sandy
areas the growth of milfoil and aquatic plants in general
tends to be low
When is Eurasian watermilfoil a problem
Milfoil may cause problems in a lake one year but not the next This appears to be mainly due to the weather which
can cause variations from year to year in environmental
conditions in lakes especially clarity temperature and depth
of water These in turn can cause large variations in the
abundance of aquatic plants including milfoil
What can be done about problems caused by
Eurasian watermilfoil
Problems caused by milfoil can be managed by treatment
with herbicides or mechanical removal of plants see fact
sheet entitled How to control Eurasian watermilfoil On
lakes wher maued milfoil causes unavoidable problems in public use areas the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources MnDNR offers limited finding for control by
lake associations or local units of government Funding is
available only to organizations on lakes that have public
water access
To obtain technical assistance in control of milfoil please
contact Eurasian Waterinilfoil Program Division of
Ecological Services at 651 259 5100 or 888 646 6367

How to control Eurasian
watermilfoil
Past experience in Minnesota and elsewhere has shown that
eradication or elimination of Eurasian watermilfoil hereafter
called milfoil from lakes is not a realistic goal Nevertheless
problems caused by milfoil can be managed by controlling the
plant
Mechanical control of milfoil
Mechanical control means to cut or pull milfoil this may be
done by hand or with equipment such as rakes or cutting
blades An owner of Lakeshore property may cut or pull
submerged aquatic plants including milfoil in an area of
2 500 square feet or less as long as the area will extend along
no more than 50 feet of shoreline or one half of your frontage
whichever is less without obtaining a permit from the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources DNR This
area may include a channel 15 feet wide to open water All
plants that are mechanically controlled must be removed from
the lake Any other control of milfoil or other aquatic plants
requires a permit from the DNR
Another method of mechanical control in small areas is the use
of an Automated Untended Aquatic Plant Control Devices
AUAPCD such as the Crary WeedRoller Use of these
devices requires a pen from the DNR
In large areas mechanical control usually involves the use of
floating motorized harvesting machines that cut plants and
remove them from the water for subsequent disposal on land
Mechanical control with motorized harvesters or AUAPCD
should only be done in lakes where the exotic has spread
throughout the lake because these methods can create
fragments that increase spread of milfoil within a lake
Use of herbicides to control milfoil
There are a small number of herbicides that are approved for
control of milfoil and other aquatic plants in Minnesota lakes
Any application of herbicide to public waters in Minnesota
requires a permit from the Division of Fisheries DNR
Systemic herbicides and milfoil
Systemic herbicides are taken up by plants and can move
within the plant e g from leaves to roots There are two
systemic herbicides used for control of milfoil in Minnesota
2 4 D and triclopyr Both herbicides can kill leaves stems
and roots which can result in control that lasts a whole season
or possibly longer Triclopyr and 2 4 D are most effective
when applied to actively growing milfoil which usually means
treatments in spring and early summer before July Triclopyr
Eurasian Watermilfoil
Myriophyllum spicatum
and 2 4 D provide selective control because they reduce
milfoil and a few native species but do not hann most native
submersed aquatic plants
Contact herbicides and milfoil
Contact herbicides damage or kill only parts of plants with
which they come into contact they are not taken up by
plants or moved within the plant There are two contact
herbicides used in Minnesota endothall and diquat Control
of plants with contact herbicides may be short lived because
roots are not killed so the plants grow back Repeated
treatments within a season may be necessary It is not
necessary that milfoil be actively growing in order to be
controlled with contact herbicides so they are effective
whenever they are applied Contact herbicides are generally
considered to be non selective though some selectivity may
be achieved by making treatments when certain species are
not growing for example during early spring
Limits on the amount of control of milfoil
The DNR limits the amount of control of milfoil to protect
lakes not to protect milfoil Unlimited control of milfoil can
cause excessive loss of associated native plants problematic
reductions in habitat for fish and wildlife and decreases in
water quality Also removal of native vegetation can create
an opportunity for invasion by milfoil
Permits and technical assistance
To apply for permits or to obtain technical assistance in
control of aquatic plants please contact the nearest Area
Office of the Division of Fisheries or call the DNR at 888
646 6367
To obtain technical assistance in control of milfoil please

DRAFT 6 27 11
Implementing New Inspection and Decontamination Authorities in Minnesota
2011
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
OF 6 27 11 1 1 NATUAA RE W SOURCES
Introduction
Legislation aimed at strengthening Minnesota s ability to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive
species was signed into law May 27 2011 Among the results will be more thorough watercraft
inspections and stronger regulations to prohibit the transportation of invasive species
Key changes include
Compliance with AIS inspection requirements is an express condition of operating or
transporting water related equipment
Authorized inspectors can visually and tactilely inspect water related equipment
Inspections may include removal drainage decontamination or treatment to prevent the
transportation and spread of AIS aquatic macrophytes and water
Protocols for decontamination of water related equipment will be developed as authorized
in the legislation
Authorized inspectors may prohibit the launching or operation of water related equipment if
a person refuses to allow an inspection or does not remove and dispose of AIS aquatic
macrophytes plants and water
Refusing to allow an inspection or follow a removal order may result in a civil citation and a
one year suspension of the watercraft license
Conservation Officers or Licensed Peace Officers may set up check stations at or near
water access sites
To implement these new authorities several actions are required
Prepare to hire and train retrain authorized inspectors
Plan for deployment of new authorized inspectors
Purchase decontamination equipment and develop protocols
As part of the planning effort DNR staff spent two days in
Colorado going through a customized inspection and
decontamination training as well as spending time with
Colorado AIS Coordinators in the field to observe their
program in action This trip was highly informative on
multiple fronts Staff were able to compare notes on how
programs are implemented in each state as well as the
challenges and lessons learned for inspection
decontamination and enforcement As a result the DNR
will adapt Colorado s inspection and decontamination
protocols for use in Minnesota

DRAFT 6 27 11
General Outline of 2011 Inspection and Decontamination Plan
Authorized Inspectors
The first step was to determine how to utilize the watercraft inspectors currently employed in
conjunction with potential new staff to ramp up the program We propose to authorize two
levels of inspectors
Level 1 Inspectors Level 1 inspectors would be trained and authorized to visually and
tactilely inspect water related equipment have authority to deny launch require removal of
aquatic plants other prohibited invasive species and drain water The current watercraft
inspectors would be re trained and authorized as level 1 inspectors
Level 2 inspectors Level 2 inspectors have the same authorities as level 1 plus
decontamination responsibilities A new position will be created for the level 2 inspectors
This position will have more responsibilities including planning and implementing inspections
in their work area be responsible for carrying out decontaminations when necessary
coordinate with Enforcement on joint efforts and be lead worker for inspection teams Our
first trained and authorized Level 2 inspectors will likely be the four current Watercraft
Inspection Program assistants Up to 20 additional level 2 inspectors would be hired and
trained in 2011
Our goal is to start training current staff in early July
Deployment of Inspectors
The Level 2 inspectors would be teamed with level 1 inspectors to form inspection and
decontamination teams The inspector teams would be assigned to the four regions with sub
areas where they would focus their work to cut down on travel time The inspectors would be
distributed based on the number of target accesses within the region and sub area Eighty
percent of inspection time would be spent at zebra mussel waters Of the 80 percent 70
percent would be at high use waters and 30 at medium and low use zebra mussel infested
waters The remaining 20 of watercraft inspection time would be spent at high use non zebra
mussel infested waters

Equipment The DNR purchased three portable hot water high pressure decontamination units
that are self contained with wash mats and water recovery and filtration systems The units will
be the start of our fleet that will be used by inspectors in the field With initial testing and
implementation additional contamination units will be purchased funding dependent
The decontamination units require trucks equipped to trailer 7 000 Ibs when fully loaded with

using the units on accesses that are administrated by the DNR and then to seek permission
from the administrators of other accesses city county etc to have the units at those accesses
as well

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
David Techam My name is David Techam and the Techam family settled this area The
Dvorak family settled this area Last Friday I had a fire in my home I went down to put it out
myself It was not very much But then somebody called the fire department and I thought oh
fine You know And I went to tell the fireman that you don t have to break that 400 window
There s a door on the other side of the stairway and it s open You can take your fire hose and go through there The first thing I I m a retired disabled 100 navy veteran I went through
naval fire fighting school survival school and so I do know what I m doing when it comes to a
fire and the first thing I learned in fire fighting school is you do not feed a fire oxygen or air If
they would have went through the door this fire was in a cavity between two concrete walls
Why it started we don t know but if all they would have had to do is take and a hose and fill that cavity full of water and that would have been the end of that They didn t do that They
smashed the windows out They smashed the concrete wall out They tore all my plumbing out
They they they inflamed the fire But that s not my complaint I know most of the firemen
very well I have offered my services as a first responder for hazardous materials and chemicals
and I showed you my card What my complaint was is when I was going to tell that fireman that there was a door 15 feet from that window that was open you know he couldn t see in that dark
It was at midnight or around midnight so he couldn t see that So I was going to go tell him go
over here 15 feet and there s an open door and you can take your hose and you can go right in
there and put the fire out and that s the end of that I mean the fire wasn t gigantic It got
gigantic after they smashed the windows Those windows are probably 400 apiece I worked I m 100 disabled veteran I worked my buns off building that for me and my wife to exercise
in Now it is completely destroyed The fire probably did maybe 1 700 worth of damage The
fire department I would estimate did a 100 000 worth of damage But when I was going to tell
the fireman that the door was there a police officer came from behind me Hit my in my left
shoulder with a 2 by 4 This shoulder has had an operation on it and it has a pin on it That pin underneath the head of that pin has a small fracture If that fracture heals I ll be fine If it
continues to break I m left handed I ll lose my arm They broke my foot I have a back injury
that the VA s been treating for about 10 years and shoving me down in the mud you know and
jerking my arm cannot go over my head It cannot go behind my back So what my complaint
is is that we either clean up our fire department or not our fire department Police department or we go like Chaska did and get our own fire department Or our own police department And
people who live here in the community and help the people Not I ve had Carver County police
departments follow me all the way to the VA to see if I d do something wrong That s
harassment Look at me Look at my arm Look at my arm here You see that That s what

Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
our police department does and it s got to stop It s not everybody you know We have some
good cops here but something has to be done with the people who are doing it or we have to get our own police department When I used to come up here and count votes with my grandfather
at Pauly s we had a full time mayor We had a full time sheriff Now we don t have anything
We don t have a sheriff that patrols We don t have a sheriff that cares and knows our people
We don t have any of that anymore What we built and what my grandfathers built is gone

the city attorney another city has also put one in as a conditional use in a sporting goods store
that he worked in so we were kind of able to talk to some of the issues and the biggest safeguard
I guess that we feel like we have is the investment that you have to put in for a shooting range
So for a shooting range to go in is a big capital investment for the developer and then also for the ultimate tenant so it s really close to 750 000 to a million dollars in improvements so we
don t think there s going to be a rash of these in places where we had anticipated I guess that
was our concern Some of the unintended consequences so without and the fact that we re
making it a conditional use and we can attach conditions to make sure they ve got adequate
parking and hours of operation those sort of things that might negatively impact the neighboring uses that we feel comfortable recommending approval at this time What is different between
this and what you saw last time is we took out the paintball so at this point all you re addressing
now is just an ordinance for conditional use regulating or amending two sections of the city code
Chapter 11 and then Chapter 20 So one would be permit shooting in a fire in a gun range and
the other Chapter 20 would be to making the standards for the conditional use in the business district So with that we did include the two other cities that had shooting ranges but staff is
comfortable at this point recommending approval of the ordinance and the summary ordinances
for those two chapters of the code and I d be happy to answer any questions that you have
Mayor Furlong Thank you Questions for staff
Councilman Laufenburger I have one Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Kate so you re excluding the paintball
Kate Aanenson Yes
Councilman Laufenburger Or you re silent on that issue
Kate Aanenson Yes Yes
6
165
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilman Laufenburger So if somebody approached the City interested in doing something
with paintball would our response be I m sorry they aren t allowed or
Kate Aanenson No Then we would process that at that time We did have somebody
interested We followed up on that That party is not as interested anymore so we don t feel that
at this point we need to amend it but if someone was to come in we certainly would respond to
that We do have plenty of outdoor acreages for that too
Councilman Laufenburger Okay
Kate Aanenson So that was actually indoor and outdoor so we would certainly process it if
somebody went for that
Councilman Laufenburger Okay thank you
Mayor Furlong So then is paintball is it currently a permitted use
Kate Aanenson No
Mayor Furlong Or is it not
Kate Aanenson No No
Mayor Furlong So it would have to be something that would be added
Kate Aanenson Correct
Mayor Furlong Okay And was there reason in terms of pulling it out
Kate Aanenson Well I think for that if you have larger groups coming at a time Certainly at a
gun range you can have competitive shooting but when you have a lot of the outdoor issue we
weren t as concerned about There s operations that would work successfully It s the indoor operation You d order the same level of sound proofing Noise attenuation The same
investment you would with a shooting range We just want to make sure again that if we re
going to put that in an interior multi tenant business that we weren t negatively impacting
anybody else in that center
Mayor Furlong Okay
Kate Aanenson And for the most part when you have someone that leases a building it s a
different issue as opposed to someone that just you know renting a space so we just want to make
sure we address that and since there wasn t a pending application we re going to take a little bit more time with that one
Mayor Furlong And with regard to the gun range then the change in terms of sound proofing
for multi tenant buildings that would be something that would continue
7
166
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Kate Aanenson Yep
Mayor Furlong As a contingent or as a as part of the approval process
Kate Aanenson Right Again so by doing this tonight anybody that did want to do a shooting
range would still have to come back through a public hearing at the Planning Commission and they would attach any conditions that they think would mitigate the impacts and then you would
have a right to review that and add to or subtract from those conditions depending on that And
also give a chance for the neighboring uses to raise any issue that we may again want to make
sure they address it and I think most of that s just the compatibility with peak hours You know
people coming in and out of the business and proximity to other uses
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Other questions for staff Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst Kate have you had any complaints from other businesses around that
area
Kate Aanenson No because we don t have any right now but you know I think there could be
We ve had similar type uses that can be kind of an attractive nuisance you know back in the day
when they had arcades and some of those sort of things they can be an attractive nuisance
Maybe the younger groups hanging around and I think we just want to make sure that we thought through those maybe not to be in a multi tenant for the paintball I think outdoors we ve got
plenty of acreage sites that are set up Sometimes those are run areas that are being used for
something else like a driving range or something like that where they ve got the property to do
that so I don t see that as a problem because then at dusk it s automatically ceases so you have
kind of a limited hour Kind of what we thought with driving ranges but when you put them indoors and for birthday parties and that sort of thing we just want to make think through that a
little bit more because you don t have the same requirements or investment that the State
regulates with the shooting range
Councilwoman Ernst So it wasn t a matter of someone thinking that we were considering doing this and then you heard complaints about it
Kate Aanenson No No
Councilwoman Ernst Thank you
Mayor Furlong Other questions Mr McDonald anything
Councilman McDonald No
Mayor Furlong Okay and I m comfortable well I guess going the question I would have for
staff is there s not a desire to prevent paintball It s just that s not going forward at this time
Kate Aanenson That s absolutely correct
8
167
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Mayor Furlong And we can certainly bring that back once
Kate Aanenson Yeah
Mayor Furlong Gain some more comfort on that Okay thank you Other if there are no more
questions comments from members of the council General comfort here I m comfortable going forward with this I think it makes sense and when we tabled it last time one of the points
I wanted to emphasize was we weren t doing it to prevent these types of uses We want to
encourage businesses to locate here and these are businesses that bring people from outside the
area as well and so while we re just going forward with the gun ranges this evening I think the
paintball activities are certainly something that we would support as long as when you re ready to bring it back to us
Kate Aanenson Yep
Mayor Furlong I m sure that s something that we would be happy to receive If there are no other comments on this is there a would somebody like to make a motion
Councilwoman Ernst Sure I will
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst I make a motion we approve the attached ordinance amending Chapters
11 and 20 of the Chanhassen City Code regulating gun ranges and approval of the attached
summary ordinance for publication purposes
Mayor Furlong Thank you Is there a second
Councilwoman Tjornhom Second
Mayor Furlong Motion s been made and seconded Any discussion on the motion Seeing none we ll proceed with the vote
Councilwoman Ernst moved Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded that the City Council
adopt the attached ordinance amending Chapter 11 Miscellaneous Provisions and
Offenses and Chapter 20 Zoning of the Chanhassen City Code regulating gun ranges and approval of the attached summary ordinance for publication purposes All voted in favor
and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
HIGH ZONE WATER TOWER PROJECT 11 03 ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD
CONTRACT
Paul Oehme Thank you Mayor and City Council members I just have a little background
before we discuss the bids Before you tonight Again tonight we re talking about the high zone
water tower which is the high zone location is shown here in the pink area Kind of a small little
9
168
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
corner of Chanhassen Approximately 12 of the distribution system that we have here in the
city however it does see significant development in the past 15 years and also this is one of the higher use areas in our community as well The water tower that currently services this area was
built in 1971 and is 200 000 gallons At that time the population was right around 4 800 Today
the population of Chanhassen is almost 23 000 Use in the high zone area can be as much as 1 8
million gallons per day An average day use we were seeing about a half million gallons for the
use over the over a year s period The high zone currently does not meet a 2 hour fire flow demand that the Fire Marshal thinks is appropriate for this area The tank is also it is small for
the amount of volume that we need to service this area It s hard on the motors and the pumps
because the cycling of the system necessary to provide adequate water pressure as such makes it
difficult to provide a system that s efficient as well So with all this in consideration and
looking at the analysis that the staff provided earlier to council the staff is recommending a 750 000 gallon water tank for this area I just wanted to add too the high zone and the low zone
currently they re not connected We ve got a different pressure zone so there s no ability right
now for the city to basically pump water up to the high zone at this time So we did look at 6
sites throughout the high zone area Here s just showing 4 locations that the city staff did look
on the Middle School West campus The site that was preferred by both city staff and the school district is site number 5 which has been advanced through this process Currently the Melody
Hills tower is situated over on the east side of the campus So based upon the analysis and
working with the school district the site that we identify as the least overall visible impacts to the
community least disruptive to the school operations it s out of the way of the future school
campus improvements as well and it also provides a good hydraulic location for water system distribution in this area This is just a site plan The grading area of the southwest portion of the
campus here Here s the proposed new water tower here Retaining walls would have to be built
and then storm water treatment would also be provided that currently exists today but we re re
grading this area to provide for additional storm water management as well So and also
landscaping is also provided under this contract basically replacing the trees that we need to remove for the grading of the site So in the bids we did bid out did some bid alternatives and
looked at requested prices for two types of tanks One is a composite concrete tower here with
a concrete or with a steel ball on top and then also we also bid out a steel fluted column tank
which is shown here similar to the design with the Trunk Highway 41 tower that currently exists
in our community however this would be smaller than that one The water tower also provides for cellular provisions within the tank itself Currently all of our sites the cell tower the cell
providers have to have their equipment outside of the tower which is the equipment can be
noisy Disruptive to the community and can be kind of unsightly as well so under this design all
that equipment would be able to be installed in the tower itself and then provisions are also made
in the design for future expansion of additional cell tower providers would wish to place their equipment on this tower So with that we have received bids which are shown here There are 4
bidders that did submit for this tank Basically we took 4 bids for composite tanks One with the
different forms of tanks construction and then also with staining and non staining of the tanks
and then also we did the fluted column the steel tank as well so we did have 2 bids there Two
bidders that submitted bids for that type of design as well The fluted column steel tank did come in a little bit higher than the composite tank so we are recommending if the council that
composite tank be awarded if so choose This is just a graph showing the 4 bidders Basically
the City did receive bids from the 4 main contractors nationally that build these types of towers
This is just showing you a graph of pie graph of how many you know what s the distribution of
10
169
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
each of the contractors so pretty evenly spaced out but in all in this time period about 70
composite tanks were built nationally So this is just a view of what the potential tower would look like from different vantage points in the area This is shown from Trunk Highway 41 right
at the school entrance Kind of scale and height Here s the exhibit showing the potential tower
location from Lake Lucy Road and Highover Drive From Trunk Highway 41 just more or less
on the south end of the pond looking north And another exhibit showing a view from the school
parking lot northeast corner So with that project the bids that we received the tower construction contract is just a little over 2 million dollars If you add in the indirect costs soil
borings and legal and engineering costs and then the easement acquisitions the project total is
just under 2 4 million dollars and this project was budgeted in the 2011 and 2015 capital
improvement plan and is 100 funded through the actually the water utility fund So storm
water or the whole schedule if it moves forward is for the award tonight Soil corrections and utility improvements would take place this fall staging for next summer construction for the
tower to actually be constructed and painting potentially at the end of the 2012 maybe into 2013
depending on weather conditions and after that they ll potentially be moving the Melody Hills
tower after the cell equipment is off of that facility and working through the plan to remove that
tower as well so with that if there s any questions I ll be happy to try to answer them for you
Mayor Furlong Thank you Questions for staff
Councilwoman Tjornhom Mayor I have one
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom We ve discussed the relevancy of this tower a couple times The fact
that it s for safety reasons I mean the population has I think grown 5 times what it used to be so
we ve been through all that but one discussion we haven t really had is the effect that this will have on utility rates And so can we talk about that a little bit
Paul Oehme Sure And the Finance Director is here to talk about it
Greg Sticha Absolutely We ve had this tower in the CIP and in our rate study each of the last 3 or 4 years so it is currently built into our rate study for 2011 and 2012 So the current rates will
provide for the structure We ll be discussing the rate study again in October Going ahead with
this project does not impact the future rates We ve already built that into our schedule currently
so proceeding with this project would not impact the current rates Any future improvements
water improvements would impact our future rate studies This was already accounted for Within the current rate study
Mayor Furlong I guess if I can follow up on that question then Mr Sticha the CIP number
shows 1 9 million This is coming in closer to 2 4 Are we understanding you that we expect
that the difference there is not going to impact utility rates
Greg Sticha We ll have to look at that and other projects when we do the rate study coming up
this fall
11
170
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Mayor Furlong So the timing of other projects or the
Greg Sticha It might impact the timing of other projects that is possible
Mayor Furlong Okay
Greg Sticha I don t think it will necessarily have a direct impact on actual rates but it could impact the timing of other water projects
Mayor Furlong Okay Other questions Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst Greg when you were talking about this being included in the study right now in our rates right now what I mean if we re borrowing the money we re borrowing 24 2
million 400 at 3 right basically
Greg Sticha And actually it ll probably be less than that but
Councilwoman Ernst 2 6 or
Greg Sticha Yep
Councilwoman Ernst So how are you saying that that money is included in the rates right now
Greg Sticha We planned on 1 9 plus interest costs related to it Cost did come in a little bit
higher than that and as to Tom s point just previous and what we mentioned is this could impact
other projects within the system and we may have to effect some timing of some projects but it
wouldn t necessarily impact the actual rates that we have already set for 2011 We ve taken this account to the rate study for previous years so it s not necessarily a matter of increasing rates for
this particular project but it may be a matter of prolonging a different project in future years
Councilwoman Ernst So you re saying the difference that the Mayor was talking about was the
1 9 and the 2 6 or whatever it is
Greg Sticha 2 4 yeah
Councilwoman Ernst Is not going to really impact the rates It might impact how we prioritize
our projects
Greg Sticha Correct
Todd Gerhardt And council I think one thing to point out is that our rate study from last year
did show an increase going into 2012 so I don t think Greg is telling you that you won t see a rate increase It just will not affect that rate increase
Mayor Furlong This particular project is not going to
12
171
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Todd Gerhardt Right
Mayor Furlong Cause material effect to the utility rates
Todd Gerhardt Correct Well we will have to delay 400 000 to 500 000 worth of future
projects to work it into the rate study in the future
Mayor Furlong Go ahead councilwoman
Councilwoman Ernst No so I m hearing that we are going to get a rate increase because that s
what was
Todd Gerhardt Planned
Councilwoman Ernst Planned for 2012
Todd Gerhardt Correct
Councilwoman Ernst Which is 5 I mean typically
Greg Sticha I believe it s scheduled for 3 for next year but that was last year s rate study but
there s a whole number of variables that will take into account for this year s rate study and we ll be doing that again in October November with the City Council
Councilwoman Ernst So we ll be having more conversations about this
Greg Sticha Yep We will be having more conversations on the rate study for 2012 Last year s rate study I believe had for water rates 3 for 2012 but we ll have to take a look at a
number of things and budgeted variables that may have impacted that rate study since last year
Councilwoman Ernst Okay So I have a few couple more questions So when I look at the 2
point almost 2 4 I went back to actually the packet dated 7 11 and when I looked at the 2 million dollar figure there it was talking it actually said that the easement acquisition was included in
the 2 million Why is now an extra cost
Paul Oehme That was included and that was the best numbers that we had at the time That
staff was given so those were the numbers that we went with
Councilwoman Ernst Well and then in the packet dated 5 11 or I m sorry 5 23 it says that the
engineering costs were included in the 2 1 Engineering legal and administrative 125 000
Paul Oehme Again that those numbers were the best numbers we had at the time Were still moving forward under the 9 and still working on final estimates I think From the engineering
standpoint so what staff provided was the best numbers we had at the time for the project
13
172
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilwoman Ernst Well my concern is we were talking 2 million 2 million 1 and now we re
talking 2 million 4 I personally would and I don t know when the time is to do this Mayor but I would really like to table this so that we can take a look at how can we reduce these costs At
least to bring it back when we initially were discussing 2 million
Mayor Furlong Okay the staff report mentions some potential cost savings Mr Oehme can
you address those right now
Paul Oehme Absolutely We did look at potential cost savings as well as talking to the
contractor and in working through the process too did talk to numerous contractors throughout
the process trying to get some ideas of where we can save on construction costs but the numbers
the 80 000 that we had included in the background were for replacing pipe materials for piping Going from high density polyethylene pipe to a more traditional RCP pipe for storm sewer and
then the other one was switching out the high density polyethylene pipe for the water system to
PVC and then also removing the stairway case to the mezzanine for the cell tower providers
Switching that all basically using ladders Saving about 17 000 there So and then
dehumidification to when they paint and prime the inside of the steel tank that was another approximately 40 000 That s kind of dependent on situations with humidity and air
temperatures and things like that so that s something that we definitely want to look at at the
time of when that would potentially be constructed so
Councilwoman Ernst Well personally I m not comfortable in really awarding the bid tonight based on the information that we have in front of us and that s why I m suggesting that we table
it to essentially know all the numbers Or at least closer than what we re
Mayor Furlong Okay
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Oehme when was the last time we built a water tower In Chanhassen
Paul Oehme Oh the last one
nd Todd Gerhardt 41 and 82 Street
Mayor Furlong When was that
Todd Gerhardt I d say that was in 2005 With the Lifetime Fitness development Arboretum
Auto and Tire location
Councilman Laufenburger And how big is that a million 5
Paul Oehme The one on Powers
14
173
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
nd Councilman Laufenburger 41 and 82
Paul Oehme Million and a half
Councilman Laufenburger Gallons
Paul Oehme Million and a half gallons
Councilman Laufenburger Just I m wondering do you recall how much your estimate was to
build that Were you here at the time
Paul Oehme I was not here at the time And again I m not an expert on water tower estimates
so I rely on our consultants for that and the contractors giving us pricing on it so I mean all I can
say is the fluctuations that and some of the cost savings that we were anticipating were material
costs were came in a little bit higher than they did The site work was a lot higher than we
anticipated because it is a small site There s very little staging area So a very tight constraints The timing of the project to you know had maybe some affect on it but so there s kind of a host
of things that potentially added to the cost
Councilwoman Ernst Are we doing enough engineering costs in house
Paul Oehme No Typically we always work with consultants on that so
Mayor Furlong Mr Oehme
Councilwoman Ernst Sorry
Mayor Furlong Go ahead
Councilwoman Ernst Is that possibly an opportunity for us to take a look at for engineering
Who s engineering
Paul Oehme Oh absolutely I mean for this project we always you know we solicited bids for
engineering services as well too We always
Todd Gerhardt Instead of in house
Paul Oehme For these type of projects we always get 2 or 3 quotes bids in for engineering
services as well so
Todd Gerhardt Councilwoman Ernst did you mean to bring the engineering in house
Councilwoman Ernst Well I just wonder if it s an opportunity for us to maybe reduce some
costs there I don t know
15
174
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Todd Gerhardt It s pretty specialized work when you deal with water treatment plants water
towers even wells The mechanical electronics that go along with it are so specialized and changing You know like Paul said he hasn t built a water tower so you know you really have to
look to an outside service
Greg Sticha Mayor if I could just add one more impact that might financially affect the project
Currently interest rates are at very favorable rates and we had planned on selling bonds for this th water tower and do a refunding on September 12 It s hard to tell what rates might do after that
point in time but currently interest rates are at an all time low in terms of modeling for this so
there could be some possibly financial impacts if we were to delay it but it s really hard to say
for sure exactly what might happen
Councilwoman Ernst I have a comment
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst So you know it s not unusual for us to have these projects come back and they seem to end up costing us more than what we initially started with and when we take
something out to bid I would expect that we would see a reduction in cost versus additional cost
and I know that there are some costs added in here but when we re estimating this project you
know the tower to come in at 2 000 which we did come in around that number pretty close but I
would expect we d come in lower than that and I it s just it seems to be more of a common occurrence that we re seeing these projects come back with added costs to them and with this
particular project and I mean it s 2 million and we re talking about basically borrowing money
at an interest rate of 2 4 whatever that number is I m just not comfortable saying this is what
we re going to do with this price so
Mayor Furlong Okay Other questions for staff
Councilman Laufenburger I do have another question
Mayor Furlong Why don t we start with Councilman McDonald and then Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman McDonald I ve got a question I mean looking through these you know different
bids and the alternatives and everything can you explain what the difference is What s a 6 foot
form and what s the 4 foot forms What kind of towers are those
Paul Oehme Councilman McDonald they re basically the same type of the same composite
concrete column and the same water tower bowl structure The only difference is that when they
construct the column the concrete they re using 6 foot forms for 2 of the contractors and 4 foot
forms for the other one contractor which was Caldwell Tanks We had staff had some concerns about using the 4 foot forms on this project We ve had some inclinations and some discussions
about some other tanks with using the 4 foot forms not structurally but aesthetically that were a
little bit disconcerning to us so but we allowed that bid in that alternate bid in just to see what
the price would come in at and then make a decision from there if we wanted to accept that 4
16
175
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
foot form or not so it s basically again the same composite tank as the 6 foot forms but with a
staining alternate as well but it s a different just a slightly different process in terms of how they construct it
Councilman McDonald Okay And the other thing I m looking at okay on the one that you re
suggesting we go with the composite tank with the 6 foot forms and the stained concrete okay
you ve got an engineer s estimate of what 2 091 Does that include these other costs that Councilwoman Ernst is talking about The indirect cost and the easement cost or are those also
additional in with that
Paul Oehme Yeah that was that was again the tower cost is 2 96
Mayor Furlong Mr Oehme go back to the slide you had up before because I think that Mr
McDonald was on it your question was referencing those two numbers
Councilman McDonald Right
Mayor Furlong Are they apples and apples
Councilman McDonald Right are they apples and apples I mean does that one also not
include the easement costs and the indirect cost
Paul Oehme Correct This is strictly the construction cost for the tank The engineer s
estimate
Councilman McDonald Okay and then getting to Councilwoman Ernst s point what were we
given I also thought we were given a bottom line cost at some point I mean I can understand the difference in the bids because yes this is a complex project from an engineering standpoint
and there s going to be a lot of hidden things that again a vendor s going to throw in there that
you had forgotten about or the consultant s overlooked but I guess the concern I have is yeah I
too thought we were getting kind of a bottom line price Am I misunderstanding or is that again
missing information you didn t have at that time
Paul Oehme I m not quite sure exactly what bottom line price you re referring to I m sorry
Councilman McDonald I guess okay you go to the next slide on the presentation and we have
indirect costs of 141 000 Easement costs of 150 and if I understood Councilwoman Ernst she thought the easement cost was included in the information that we have been given
Paul Oehme Right and
Councilman McDonald Yeah okay go ahead
Paul Oehme I m sorry it was included in the last background that we had and that was again
that was the best information I had at the time
17
176
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilman McDonald Okay but in your engineer s estimate it s not included am I hearing
that right
Paul Oehme Under this engineer s estimate it is not included
Todd Gerhardt We ve modified the engineer s estimate from what was originally 1 9
Paul Oehme Again yeah the last background I think was 2 million dollars with the easement
acquisition included in that
Todd Gerhardt Just the tower itself
Paul Oehme Right
Todd Gerhardt How much was that
Paul Oehme I can t I don t remember what it was off the top of my head
Councilman Laufenburger Well wouldn t that be the same as the CIP
Paul Oehme It s yeah it d be just a little bit more
Councilman Laufenburger So it s a 10 variance 10 variance on this 2 091 000 versus the
1 million 9 that was in the CIP
Paul Oehme Right
Mayor Furlong We can see why the numbers changed or what they changed I guess the
question I would have and maybe this is a question for the engineering consulting firm but what
changed in terms of the was it the what changed in terms of the construction From a material
standpoint design standpoint inclusions exclusions what changed that caused the engineer s
estimate to increase
Paul Oehme I mean just looking at the bids this is basically this is just I want show you This
is the breakdown of what was originally in the CIP and was bid out so basically the change the
main change is the site work It was again it s a the grading that was associated with the
project
Mayor Furlong I m sorry what s included in the site work
Paul Oehme The site work it includes the grading The utility work The landscaping work
That type of infrastructure Moving the there s a section of sanitary sewer that has to be relocated That was included in there too That was not in the original you know estimate so
Mayor Furlong And when did we find out about those Was it were those known back when
this site was first recommended I mean we were looking at multiple sites
18
177
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Paul Oehme Well yeah we were looking at multiple sites and I think back then it was identified later on in the development process I think from a cost standpoint though the sites
that we looked at at the school site and elsewhere I mean this site would still I feel be still be
the cost most cost effective Based on these numbers and what we re seeing right now in the
market for steel and concrete and all the other utility work that we have
Mayor Furlong And so then the question would be is is based upon what we know for this site
what are the opportunities by spending more time looking at the design or at the cost to to
change what these are going to be I mean clearly the site work that explains most of the
change in the total project Are there alternatives there that could be by changing the scope of
the project Are there alternatives available to us that would reduce those costs
Paul Oehme I mean we ve looked for those cost savings and it s tough because we still need to
treat the water the storm water off the site We still need to put in the utilities at this location
You know we talked about switching out some of the pipe materials and some cost reductions
there and some additional you know changes to the structure itself but in terms of major cost savings changes I don t see any out there right now for this site
Mayor Furlong And the other major change was with the tank The difference between an
estimate of if I m reading this correctly 1 75 per gallon versus 2 03
Paul Oehme Exactly
Mayor Furlong Which is the bid What changed there
Paul Oehme Yep The main change there and again I should back up a little bit The CIP estimate again was basically looking at what was included in the 2008 comp plan which is
basically the relocating or constructing the tower just basically adjacent to the existing Melody
Hills tower so basically the estimate that was put forward in the CIP was to build construct a
tower at that location basically so back in 2009 when we put this estimate together you know
and in 2010 we did have some preliminary discussions with the school district but we didn t get into the nuts and bolts about where the tower will be sited so I mean that ultimate site 1 that s
shown here is basically a flat piece of ground The utilities are right there Easy to connect to so
the site grading work is very minimal at that location You know unfortunately that site does not
work did not work out for numerous reasons when we went through the process
Mayor Furlong And if I can interrupt Explain some of those reasons because by moving it to
site 5 it s obviously increasing the cost of the total project
Paul Oehme Absolutely
Mayor Furlong Beyond what was expected and what was in some earlier staff reports
Paul Oehme Exactly
19
178
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Mayor Furlong So what s justifying in your mind in terms of selecting site 5
Paul Oehme Right
Mayor Furlong The higher cost
Paul Oehme Yep absolutely Absolutely Altering site 1 here more visual impacts to the neighborhood Moving that tank to more onto the school grounds would have significant visual
impacts to several of the property owners in that location so that was a big detriment Even
moving the tank right to the property line at the school would potentially impact some of the
soccer fields at that location Shrinking them up and or maybe eliminating a soccer field at that
time so those two are the biggest reasons that you know led us away from that alternate site and just basically working through the school district too They just didn t feel that was the best
location to site that tower on their property so with all those factors involved you know we had
to move on and look for alternate locations
Councilman McDonald Can I ask a question about that because yeah there s 100 000 there that s different between your estimate and I think what s coming out on the easement cost
Okay why did that go up over 100 000 and if the school is so involved in all this because of
what they want meaning yeah they probably don t want to lose the soccer field and everything
so we give up a perfectly good site to move to another site what kind of sharing are we getting
there as far as cost breaks and stuff and is there some room there to bring this down
Paul Oehme Yeah and you know we had those discussions too The problem with the site
that s being picked is there s significant more easement that we need temporary easement
construction easements and then also access future access to the water tower would have to go
through their parking lot as well too so that s the reason for the increase in the easement cost Land acquisition basically between what was originally in the CIP versus what we re what we
have before us tonight
Mayor Furlong Mr Oehme one of the as I understood when at our last meeting when we talked
about bringing this forward now versus waiting til next meeting when we have when we re also going through the bond sale process What was the reason Is there what s the potential cost
for delay
Paul Oehme The impacts are staff had envisioned trying to get the project off the ground as
soon as we can just because there is a lot of grading work that has to be done to the site There is a lot of foundation work that we would like to get in this year and then there s also some
significant utility work that would also that was also envisioned to take place this fall A lot of
that work excuse me was scheduled or planned for to try to take care of this fall to let the go
through the freeze thaw cycle for that soil so it settles out a little bit better and then we ll start
construction of the tower next summer after school s over with so You know in order to get all that work in this year we were trying to have the construction start as early as we can in
September
Mayor Furlong I m sorry could you repeat that Construction start when
20
179
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Paul Oehme Try to have the construction start in September because the later we postpone it you know weather conditions are problematic
Mayor Furlong And if this was deferred to our next meeting would we be able to still start
construction in September if it was approved at that time When do we meet next September th 12
th Paul Oehme September 12 I think yeah Yeah it ll be tough I mean it would probably have
to start in October is typically a 10 day turnaround for contracts and what not plus mobilization
This contractor s out of state
Mayor Furlong Is there an opportunity by not getting the site work done this fall and pushing it
to next year that we could reduce the cost of this project And do the site work next year and
then looking at construction either next year or the following year
Paul Oehme Yeah the contract is set up for the utility work to grading work to take place this fall so I mean I think you know there might be potentially some costs involved with postponing
the project til next year
Mayor Furlong Some cost savings or increased costs
Paul Oehme Potentially cost increases so I mean that s something that we d have to work out
with the city attorney in terms of if we still wanted to keep these bids award of contract and
delay the construction to next year It might just be more problem you know better to just re bid
it out in the spring if we wanted to do that
Mayor Furlong Okay
Paul Oehme The other issue too I just recall that the foundation work the piles that have to go
in there they re auger cast piles The contractor that does that work is out of Kansas City so
that s basically you know it s I don t know what his schedule would be to delay it
Mayor Furlong And was that work that was going to be done this fall
Paul Oehme That was the work that was going to be done this fall right so Just letting you
know what s
Mayor Furlong Okay
Todd Gerhardt Mr Mayor council members
Mayor Furlong Mr Gerhardt
Todd Gerhardt On the different sites proposed at the middle school we do not have agreement
with the school district on price or location so it wasn t until probably May when we determined
21
180
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
the location for the water tower We were concentrating on the one closest to the parking lot and
then you know that did not work with the school district s long range plans so that s when we went to the other alternative
Mayor Furlong And the site selection obviously affects the you took it down but the site work
costs
Paul Oehme The site work
Mayor Furlong So which site number it is is immaterial or could materially affect those
costs
Todd Gerhardt And the 50 000 figure for land cost s that Paul used in 2008 he was just
bumping out where the existing water tower was and that impacted the school district soccer
field so that wasn t an alternative
Councilwoman Tjornhom I have a question
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom What we re paying the school district the 150 000 for the site how
did that number appear How did we decide 150 was what we were going to be paying Was it an assessed value or how did we come upon that number
Paul Oehme That s the number that staff negotiated with the school district There was no
appraisals associated with that
Todd Gerhardt Based on the amount of easement we have access easement from 41 that takes
us through their driveway through their parking lot around the building and then approximately
just under an acre of land to the west of the school So based on you know negotiations with Dr
Peterson and myself that s the number we came up with
Mayor Furlong You say it s just under an acre
Todd Gerhardt Yeah
Mayor Furlong Plus the access
Todd Gerhardt The access easement
Mayor Furlong And temporary easements
Paul Oehme There s another I think of an acre for temporary easements as well
Mayor Furlong Okay
22
181
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilman Laufenburger Is there an easement with any property owner other than the
Minnetonka School District Any cost to anybody besides the Minnetonka School District
Todd Gerhardt No
Paul Oehme No
Councilman Laufenburger So that private party which is just to the south
Paul Oehme That s not part of this
Mayor Furlong Any other questions
Councilman Laufenburger Yeah Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Yep
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Oehme when we did the Arboretum Boulevard project I heard
reports I think this was last fall I think I was not yet on the council but I heard reports that the
project actually came in lower than estimated costs Is that true
Paul Oehme That s correct
Councilman Laufenburger How much lower
Paul Oehme Oh it was six figures I don t know off the top of my head For street projects I
mean I think we ve been doing a great a good service I think most of our street projects have come in at or under budget For street reconstructions and just this year the 2011 overlay project
that came in under budget as well so
Councilman Laufenburger So most of the work that we that you have shown to the council the
work product reflecting cost estimates etc that s less your own staff work and more consulting engineering work is that correct Or is it more your own staff work and less consulting
engineering work
Paul Oehme It s it s a little bit of both For the street reconstruction projects we do have to
have assistance from consultants for those type of projects For our overlay projects that we do in house and sealcoat projects those type of things those are our own estimates
Councilman Laufenburger Obviously the more you do things the better you get at them
Paul Oehme Absolutely
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Maybe we need to build more water towers
Paul Oehme No we don t
23
182
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Todd Gerhardt Just one more
Councilman Laufenburger Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Any other questions If not let s bring it to council for comments and
discussion Who d like to start
Councilman McDonald Well I guess I ll start so I can get the ball rolling on all this Yeah I m
a little troubled by the costs that are coming in I m a little troubled by the process working with
the school district Yeah I ve got some particular questions there that I really just don t feel I can
ask at this point because of a conflict I ve got but something there bothers me about the whole thing The cost we re paying for under an acre of land versus I know what we re doing for some
other things it just seems like we re not following the same process and it s costing us in this
case It feels as though we re between a rock and a hard place because we ve already approved
that this tower needs to go in There s a need for it We go through all this Yeah maybe I
didn t ask the right questions but I m surprised at the land preparation cost That s significantly higher There s two areas I think where costs have suddenly popped up I m not sure it s
anybody s fault but yeah the easement and the cost to repair the site is significantly higher than
what it came through the council and that does tend to push it up but I m just not sure if I can
vote to delay it because it would go up It ll go up significantly and it always does If you think
we re going to get a bargain by waiting 6 weeks or 8 weeks or delaying construction until next spring it s not going to happen because I m sure the bid that we put out it s only good based
upon a schedule that we put in there which means that they have the right to re bid and they will
and the costs will go up So yeah I feel as though what I m having to vote for is a need versus a
yeah we re going to take it in the shorts That s my opinion about this but that s kind of where I
feel we re at and I m not sure if we can delay it
Mayor Furlong Thank you Other comments Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom I d like to listen to other comments first before I comment
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst Well being in procurement I know that material costs in terms of indexes
are going down currently and they re going down significantly except copper So quite honestly
I wouldn t have a problem delaying this and again I stated my case I d really like to see us bring this back to where we started
Mayor Furlong To a 2 million dollar project
Councilwoman Ernst Yes
Mayor Furlong Thank you Mr Laufenburger
24
183
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Mayor council members I think the decision that I am in
support of is the City needs this water tower for various reasons which we ve already said yes to I think the best thing that we as a city council can do can execute on that decision which is
we should be building this water tower for that for our community For the safety in the
community because population has increased for all of those reasons and then I think we have an
obligation to expect our staff to do the best job that they can to execute on our decision to do the
best things for our citizens Now Councilman McDonald s right 100 000 in land cost and 387 000 in site work that s the difference between 1 9 and 2 387 Had the decision been made
to build the water tower right next to Melody Hill probably that 380 or that 487 might have
been that difference wouldn t be there So we re choosing the best site for the water tower and
there s an expense associated with that There s an expense of we didn t know all of the things
that we know now about site work Apparently we didn t know everything we knew about land costs but the key decision that we made was we re in support of building a water tower that
services the high zone so as hard as it is for me to accept a what amounts to about a probably
23 increase versus what we first heard as Councilwoman Ernst has brought to our attention I
don t think we have a choice and I would be in favor of moving forward Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Thank you I guess listening to Councilman Laufenburger s comments and
previous comments by Councilwoman Ernst Mr Oehme in terms of getting the cost down to the
objective for Councilwoman Ernst of 2 million dollars What would that entail Can we do that
at this site Can we get by with a smaller tower What can be done
Paul Oehme Well I mean we went through the process of can this be a smaller tank and you
know we could build a smaller tank and keep the Melody Hills tank but I think in the long term
that does cost the City more money down the road just for maintenance and any time you have
two of something it s always going to cost you more to maintain so from that standpoint size
that was a recommendation was to build it the 750 000 gallon tank and remove the Melody Hills tank The site work you know that was our biggest struggle going into this site It s difficult for
us to I think remove or reduce those costs just because the site is what the site is I mean if costs
a certain amount of dollars to move you know 5 000 cubic yards of material to grade this site out
To put the utilities in Those are more or less fixed costs The tower at this site versus the first
site that we looked at in 2008 is 30 feet higher at this site than the other site You know we wouldn t recommend lowering the tower down another 30 feet because then the pressure the
water pressure in this area will definitely change to be lower so in terms of a cost savings you
know there it is pretty tough When we went through this process with the Planning
Commission we had looked at additional aesthetic features Maybe some brick work on the
outside and some other features to that effect I mean all those things were we basically had not recommended moving forward with This is pretty much bare bones tower as we see it here
today without you know plus the staining which was you know very cost effective
Mayor Furlong Thank you Councilwoman Tjornhom anything at this time
Councilwoman Tjornhom Yeah No one likes to increase cost obviously and if there was when
you re looking at the land costs I m not sure that I personally can go ahead and change those I
think those costs are what they are I think the reasons why they are was described very well by
our city manager and Paul Oehme our city engineer just described what the construction costs
25
184
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
are The improvements of the site and I don t think that we can change those either I think
those costs are what they are and so while we all were very excited about 2 million dollars 5 months ago that s not what it is and unfortunately sometimes that s what happens when you re
building a water tower I don t know if I m willing to risk material costs being less next year
versus what interest rates are going to be None of us have crystal balls that sit up here and so
none of us can predict what s going to happen with the markets no matter if they re money or if
it s material or whatever else it is What we can do is make our best judgment for what we have today and as far as I m concerned it s a tough pill to swallow but to the increase cost but it s one
that it s necessary I don t think that I m going to take I don t think it s wise and I ve been told
it s not wise to bring that engineering in house I just have visions of children wearing life
jackets on when they go to school no offense Paul but I just think we re going to leave that to
the professionals and so you know these costs are what they are It was a matter of public safety It has been in our plans and so with that being said I am more than willing to go ahead and move
forward with this
Mayor Furlong Thank you I think my sentiments are similar to what I ve heard expressed and
I understand all the concerns that have been expressed Clearly I think what is difficult here and Councilman Laufenburger mentioned it a little bit when you were talking about other projects
The last major improvement made in our city other than streets I think was the public works
building which was a significant project I think those costs you re building a building Things
come up but overall that came in under budget Under the estimates We found cost savings
Going back to other than another water tower the water treatment plant itself There was a lot of discussion and depending upon the features and benefits and where you located it and such those
costs swung wildly yet we ended up finding the best value overall for the site and I think that s
what we need to be looking at here I can t support building a smaller water tower here and
keeping two up there when that s going to increase our long term costs That s a penny wise
pound foolish process that doesn t make sense and isn t something that this council has done before and I don t see us starting that now I think there clearly is a need because in this case the
real costs of this project is coming in greater than what we estimated and we re going to have to
take a look at the CIP and probably make some changes there and because what we re hearing
now what we ve heard for the last several months as a council from staff is that this is our
priority This is the priority that we need to do right now in terms of our water utility service Nobody likes voting for a project that comes in higher than the estimates but I think we can see
where those numbers changed and why they changed and I think that it does make sense to move
forward It s needed for life safety reasons as well as for regular utility use and I think what I ve
heard tonight while I like if more time gave us a better opportunity to modify or reduce the cost
I would support that I m not hearing that I m not hearing that We d have to materially change the project and go with something less than where the best value is and even though this
costs are higher what I ve been hearing with the answers being given is that this is still the best
value for the City Mr Oehme am I right on that Is that a fair statement
Paul Oehme That s correct
Mayor Furlong Okay so if this is the best value and we know that it s needed and as much as
the costs are higher than we think it was going to be I think it s still is a wise decision and the
best decision we can make is to go forward at this time Any other thoughts or comments
26
185
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilwoman Tjornhom I just have one question
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom When you were discussing the public works building we hired a
project manager for that Is that something that s needed or is it something that would apply to this
Paul Oehme It could Typically those project managers they work on multi million dollar
projects You know 8 10 15 million dollar projects This one s a little bit smaller Also the
public works building we utilized bidding out each individual segment of the project not just having one prime contractor Under these tower scenarios it s really next to impossible to
implement that type of bidding process so
Councilwoman Tjornhom Thank you
Councilwoman Ernst Mayor I have one comment
Mayor Furlong Yes Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst I ve heard several times that each of the council members have said that this is something we need I m not going to disagree with the fact that we need it What I
disagree with is the additional cost into the project I just want for the record that that I m not
saying that we don t need it because I believe that we do It s just a matter of how much are we
going to pay for it
Mayor Furlong Okay Any other comments Discussion Thoughts Would somebody like to
make a motion
Councilman Laufenburger I will
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Mayor I move that the City Council accepts the bids as received
and awards a contract to CB I in the amount of 2 096 001 for a new high zone composite
water tower located on Minnetonka School District 276 property at 6421 Hazeltine Boulevard
Mayor Furlong Thank you Is there a second
Councilwoman Tjornhom Second
Mayor Furlong Motion s been made and seconded Is there any discussion on the motion
Resolution 2011 50 Councilman Laufenburger moved Councilwoman Tjornhom
seconded that the City Council accepts the bids as received and awards a contract to CB I
27
186
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
in the amount of 2 096 001 for a new high zone composite water tower located on
Minnetonka School District 276 property at 6421 Hazeltine Boulevard All voted in favor except Councilwoman Ernst who opposed and the motion carried with a vote of 4 to 1
Mayor Furlong Thank you everybody Move on now to the next item under our agenda
TH 5 SIGNAL REPAINTING CENTURY BOULEVARD DAKOTA AVENUE ACCEPT QUOTES
Paul Oehme Thank you Mayor City Council members This item is in the CIP for repainting
recoating the signal systems on 5 as the Mayor said The impetus for this MnDOT s standard
agreement that we have with the state agency is for local agencies basically to responsible for maintaining the minor maintenance of the signal system which includes painting and typically
the lights and other electrical miscellaneous improvements to the or maintenance of those
signals so it s our responsibility to for those costs if we so choose to stick have money
allocated for maintenance of these type of systems Most of the signals on 5 are severely rusted
They range in between 30 years old all the way up to 10 years old so but most of the signals along 5 are needing some maintenance work and basically it s for cosmetic reasons that the
signal systems are just look a little bit like they need some help basically And then also the
signals if they re left long enough that rust will eventually eat away at the structural integrity of
the signals system and basically pull the mast arm and potentially require replacement of those
signals prematurely and then the City would end up having to participate in those costs for that type of replacement as well if the City has a leg or a street connecting to that signal system So
just a few photos staff has taken of the signals along 5 This is from 5 and Dakota Dakota
Avenue the signal here This is at the southeast corner and then also here s the mast arm of the
signal system Just starting to rust Paint chipping off of it Here s a signal at 5 and Great
Plains Same thing More rusting taking place at the base of the signal system where salt and more moisture is happen to come in contact with the steel 5 and Market basically the same
thing too Lots of rusting at the base and up the column as well and 5 and Powers so basically
consistent rusting and chipping of paint so What the staff has proposed is for those signals to be th painted basically the same color as we painted the downtown signal system on 78 Street The th darker brown That was done on 78 Street and we ve had some good comments on that color This color was also utilized under the County trunk highway or County Lyman Boulevard
project next to the school so those are just basically matching the same colors that we used for all
of the signal systems that have been used and repainted here in the last 10 years So here s the
signal systems that would be proposed to be repainted There are 7 total The only signal within
the community that on 5 that would not be proposed to be painted at this time is the one off of 41 Trunk highway 41 in the western part of the community That signal system is very new and
does not need painting at this time So staff did receive two quotes for this project The
engineer s estimate was 85 000 That one we did 6 contractors did entertain submitting bids
for this project as well We did talk to several contractors and for various reasons they did not
want to submit a bid for this project at this time so staff is proposing that the council move forward with the project and repaint the signal system 7 signal systems Funding for this project
is proposed to come out of the pavement management fund so with that if there s any questions I
can try to answer them
28
187
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Mayor Furlong Yeah Mr McDonald
Councilman McDonald I ve got a couple questions for you If we do this how long will it
last
Paul Oehme You know working with MnDOT we ve worked with MnDOT on this project
significantly and they feel about 15 years We can get a decent life out of the paint
Councilman McDonald Okay and then the other question why I asked that was you know
recently right next to these lights are the power poles and NSP was going to paint those What
they determined was they were too far gone to paint and so they replaced them Some of those
pictures that you showed right there look pretty bad Are you sure you ve got enough structure integrity in those posts that it s going to last for 15 years
Paul Oehme Yeah we did have that conversation with MnDOT as well too and MnDOT does
not have any plans to replace these signal systems in the next 15 years either so and MnDOT
does they do some spot inspections on their signal systems so at this time MnDOT does not have any plans to replace any of these signals along Highway 5
Councilman McDonald Okay but before we go and spend this much money I think we ought to
know it s going to last for 15 years I mean have you done that analysis yet You know have we
looked at it independent from MnDOT because MnDOT has no vested interest in this Sure the City can spend the money and if it fails in 5 6 years big deal They ll just come back to the City
and we ll buy all new lights Have we looked at it that you know this is a good investment
Paul Oehme From an aesthetic standpoint I think it s a good investment From a longevity
standpoint you know I m not an expert I guess in painting coating I know we do have priming of the signal systems and the contractor they need to sand down those rough areas and the areas
that are significantly rusting at this time Prime those areas up and then coat them again so there
is a two coat application in most of these areas that are seeing significant deterioration or rusting
so I mean we ve we probably have to talk to a materials expert in terms of paint selection I
mean the paints that we re using are again they re recommended by MnDOT using their specifications and they do this a lot more than we do
Councilman McDonald Okay well that has nothing to do with it If the underlying surface is
not viable you can put the best paint in the world on there and that s not going to hold the post up
and I guess what I m getting to is what assurances do we have that we spend this money it s good for 15 years and the answer to me seems to come back to what s the metal like You know
can we sand it down and are we going to be able to paint it and it s still viable or are we just you
know whistling in the wind here that it s going to rust again anyway because now you ve worn
away so much of the metal that you know you lose the ability for the coatings or something
because again on the inside it rusts from the inside too and on that one picture you showed evidently we have a lot of water that comes down here from someplace because it s gotten into
the base also What assurances do we have that this is going to last for 15 years and this is a
good use of our money to do this instead of going out and saying no these posts need to be
replaced and going back to MnDOT
29
188
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Paul Oehme You know we d have to do some more forensic analysis I think is an answer to your question We d have to hire somebody that has an expertise in paint coatings Do some
analysis on thickness of the steel of the signals themselves and determine you know the
likelihood of failure in the next 15 years for the process that we re proposing
Councilman McDonald The only reason I ask is because NSP just went through this and their decision was they replaced those posts
Paul Oehme I think to Xcel s standpoint that was a different metal that they were using as
opposed to this signal system This is more your standard steel and that s the a different steel so
I think that system s a little bit harder to paint than what we re talking about under this scenario but I understand your concern and I guess I can t answer fully at this time
Councilman McDonald Okay thank you
Mayor Furlong Other questions for staff Mr Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Mr Oehme are those the pictures that you showed are those
original structure Original paint
Paul Oehme They are
Councilman Laufenburger When were they put in do you know
Paul Oehme The I should have brought that The System A here which is Dakota Avenue
that was put in 1979
Councilman Laufenburger Okay
Paul Oehme The ones along Powers and Great Plains I think those are closer to 15 years old if
I recall correctly The systems out west farther those are I think in the 10 year range
Councilman Laufenburger And do they all show similar rust
Paul Oehme Most of the signal systems that I m showing you are all show similar rusting and
flaking off of the paint system You know the signal systems west Audubon Galpin and
Councilman Laufenburger Century
Paul Oehme Century they re not as bad but they re still showing some signs of deterioration of
the painting system
Councilman Laufenburger So it sounds like one thing you wanted to accomplish is to have all
of these signals visually appear the same The same brown color as you showed on the one is
that correct
30
189
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Paul Oehme Yeah consistency did play a factor in what we were proposing here
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Are there other signal posts in the city for which we re
responsible for painting
th Paul Oehme Trunk Highway 101 and 78 Street just north of Highway 5 That s another system that we d be responsible for
Councilman Laufenburger Does it need painting
Paul Oehme Not at this time No that one s fairly new too I don t know the age of that signal system But again on Trunk Highway 212 all the signal systems that were constructed in
conjunction with that project that are have MnDOT jurisdiction over them those are all signal
systems that we would potentially or we do have maintenance responsibilities for them We ve
gone out and replaced the lights for those signal systems before We do pay for the power of
those systems and potentially down the road we would be responsible for painting those systems too
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Then one last question I recall that there s some discussion
around the improvement of 41 excuse me Of Highway 5 from 41 into Victoria There was
also a related project of re timing signals am I remembering that correctly
Paul Oehme That s correct
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Does the re timing of the signals would that affect these
light poles
Paul Oehme Yeah
Councilman Laufenburger Is it something that could be done even though they re repainted
Paul Oehme Yeah they will be They can be done with or without that
Councilman Laufenburger So that s an electronics thing as opposed to this is a visual
Paul Oehme Exactly and I believe MnDOT s putting some fiber optic in along 5 there so coordinate those systems better Putting some cameras in as well too so I did have that
conversation with MnDOT I asked them again if we could partner together too when they bid
out their work can we tag along and do the signal painting at the same time and they weren t
agreeing to that but And the two projects are completely separate so they re completing
independent of each other so
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Other questions
31
190
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Councilwoman Tjornhom I just have one quick question
Mayor Furlong Councilwoman Tjornhom that s fine
Councilwoman Tjornhom Going back to the painting and the color
Paul Oehme Sure
Councilwoman Tjornhom I m surprised that you can paint them brown Is the whole thing
going to be brown or does at least the base have to be like yellow for safety reasons or
Paul Oehme No No Eden Prairie s gone through the same discussion that we have and if you
look on 5 their signals on Dell and east of there they painted all their signal systems green as
well If you go into Chaska Chaska has the same green as well too
Mayor Furlong Green Green or brown
Paul Oehme Green
Mayor Furlong Okay
Councilwoman Tjornhom I think our s will be brown but I think their s are green
Paul Oehme Yep
Councilwoman Tjornhom It just fascinates me that there are that you shouldn t have to have some sort of vibrant color to warn people not to drive into a post or something
Paul Oehme I know Minnetonka has painted their s more of a black color in the past
Councilman Laufenburger So would stripes be available
Mayor Furlong Other questions Councilwoman Ernst any questions Does the contract
include any warranty on the part of the contractor or the paint For the coating
Paul Oehme It does not It does not include a I think I m sorry It does include I think a 6 3 month warranty It s a short little warranty typically for these type of projects They do not
extend more over a year timeframe
Mayor Furlong Okay You said if I heard you correctly in order to estimate what the integrity
of the metal of the structure you d have to hire somebody Materials expert Any idea what that would cost
32
191
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Paul Oehme A forensicing inspection like that I it s I really don t have any It s going to be a
couple thousand dollars at least to have somebody run out there and take a structural analysis Look at the thickness of the steel You know make a recommendation
Mayor Furlong Is the did the two companies that bid on this did they come out and inspect
the
Paul Oehme I know the low bidder did come out and inspect the project I m not aware if the
other one if he came out or not
Mayor Furlong Okay What s the timing on this one in terms of
Paul Oehme Well the staff you know and the contract is
Todd Gerhardt 60 days
Paul Oehme Yep
Todd Gerhardt Did you add 60 days on bids
Paul Oehme Yeah It s 60 days to hold the bids We re trying to have the project completed by
the middle of October I think so and I don t have that in the background but it s end of the year basically to have the signals painted
Mayor Furlong Okay And is there a temperature requirements in terms of the painting or the
coating
Paul Oehme Yeah there is
Mayor Furlong The temperature it has to be warmer than so the weather can be a factor
Paul Oehme Right And we were anticipating trying to get most of it most of the painting done in September
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council One of the options before you could be to delay this until
spring Potentially get more bidders on the project If you want a special study done to
determine if it warrants paint due to the rusting that s occurring already that could give us time between now and then Surprised by two bidders on a project like this and one that just probably
just threw some numbers on a paper but you know this isn t time crucial to be done this fall
How much time and effort went into the bidding process would you estimate
Paul Oehme This was a quote process We solicited bids from you know several different areas Contractors Talking to MnDOT Talking to other cities that have done these type of
projects and gotten names and numbers from them so then also looking up in the phone book so
You know we ve tried to get as many bidders on this project as we can Unfortunately we
33
192
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
weren t successful enough to or contractors had various different reasons why they didn t bid on
the project so
Todd Gerhardt So how many do you think you sent out to
Paul Oehme Well we sent specifications out to 6
Todd Gerhardt Six
Paul Oehme That were interested and I know we ve talked to at least another 5 maybe 6
contractors that said they weren t interested
Todd Gerhardt And that was due to the fact that they were just busy
Paul Oehme Well either busy or they didn t do that type of work or different various reasons
Mayor Furlong Any other questions At this point Thoughts Comments Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom Yeah I tend to agree with Councilman McDonald and the city
manager that it could be reasonable to delay it for a while until spring I think they ll still be
there springtime and it might then allow more people to bid on the process and in the meantime Councilmember McDonald s concerns maybe could be addressed whether about the structural
integrity or what could be done or what needs to be done
Mayor Furlong I guess just to interject a thought for council to consider and Mr Oehme I ll
start with a question What I heard was that the low bidder came out and inspected the site so they may have some thoughts as to the structural integrity Maybe not from a materials
standpoint but from experts in terms of painting these so would you do you think you d be able
to prior to our next meeting We have these bids in hand Prior to our next meeting one talk to
TMI Coatings in terms of what their inspection revealed and addressing Mr McDonald s
concerns Possibly get some estimates of what it would cost to hire a materials expert rather than just you know so we d have something to base on what the timing of that would be And then
two also as you talk to TMI Coatings find out if the decision is made at our next meeting if they
would still be able to get it done within this timeframe of these quotes so we don t necessarily
have to wait til next spring
Councilwoman Tjornhom No I m fine with that
Mayor Furlong If we can get the information back and then we d have the information that I m
hearing would be would give us better information with which to make a decision either to
accept these bids and move forward this fall or to defer to next spring Does that kind of seem to make some sense
Councilman McDonald Yeah I mean that all kind of satisfies me It just it seems if we re
going to spend that kind of money we ought to know what we re spending it on because I would
34
193
Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
hate 5 years from now all of a sudden to come back to a future council and well that paint job
yeah it still looks good but come up with some more money because the posts are falling down I don t know if they are or not I m not a materials engineer I just know that from an
engineering standpoint yeah you need answers before you do something and you ve got to be
careful who you get the answers from I don t think MnDOT I don t think it s in their best
interest to try to tell you well yeah you probably wasted your money They re not going to be of
any benefit I would question the vendor as to maybe all they re looking at is well yeah I can put paint on it so it s okay as far as I m concerned I don t know if you can just answer the
question that we re going to get our money s worth out of this and it s going to last
Mayor Furlong Okay
Councilman McDonald That s all I m asking for
Mayor Furlong Okay
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council members You should make a motion to table this item until our next meeting
Councilman McDonald Okay I ll make the motion to table this meeting until our next or I ll
make the motion to table this item until our next meeting in order to give staff time to evaluate
the questions asked as to the viability of the post for painting and the longevity of any paint job that would be put on there
Councilwoman Ernst I ll second
Councilman McDonald Is that too long
Mayor Furlong Motion s been made and seconded to table We ll proceed with the vote
Councilman McDonald moved Councilwoman Ernst seconded to table accepting quotes
for the Highway 6 signal repainting project in order to give staff time to evaluate the questions asked as to the viability of the posts for painting and the longevity of any paint
job that would be put on there All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously

Chanhassen City Council August 22 2011
Mayor Furlong Mr Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger I read the letter from Mr Jensen of Mediacom and I was unclear as
to exactly what he was telling us First of all he indicates that Mediacom if adjusting their
they re transforming their TV channel lineup to all digital which will bring faster internet more
channels etc but it was unclear to me exactly when that was going to take place And also he
explained that there s a digital adapter that will be available to all Mediacom subscribers Well being a Mediacom subscriber I was concerned about what I had to do to get one of those things
so I sent a note to Mr Jensen and he clarified and his answer is if I can find it here just for a
second Excuse me By the way he also congratulated Chanhassen on it s award by Money
Magazine Here we go The digital conversion is expected to be completed by Thanksgiving th and indeed phase I conversion on or about November 29 The second conversion date thth December 13 and he said yes the digital adapters will be available as early as September 19 th but they won t be needed until December 13 And also how will the subscribers be able to get th them They can go to the Chanhassen office on or after September 19 And he also used his
response to indicate to me that they will be conducting an open house at their facility on th Thursday November 10 which they will be advertising so
Mayor Furlong Very good thank you Any other discussion on the correspondence packet

CORPORATION PLANNING CASE 2011 08
Public Present
Name Address
John Ferrier CSM Corporation 500 Washington Avenue So Minneapolis Mark Kronbeck Alliant Engineering 233 Park Avenue So Minneapolis
Generous Thank you Chairman Aller commissioners As you stated this is a public hearing to
review proposed parking lot expansion The applicant made this application because they
wanted additional flexibility and marketability on the property Currently the site is mostly mainly vacant The building is and so they re looking for tenants to accommodate them in the
future The site plan review request is for 155 stall parking lot expansion They re proposing it
in three locations on the site and that would mostly occur in three phases They re going through
the site plan review process because the grading on for the proposal is a little more than staff
could approve administratively Additionally we re reviewing the grading the lighting a sign relocation and the landscaping in conjunction with the parking lot This property is zoned
industrial office park It s located on the northeast corner of Lake Drive and Powers Boulevard
To the east of it is Robert s Automatic To the south is Lake Susan or Lake Susan Park It s a
community park To the west is a vacant industrial office park site and I did hand out an email I
received yesterday The property owners have concern that when they develop their site coming down their driveway they will see a parking lot in the corner However I did respond to them
and advised them that the parking lot is a permitted accessory use in the IOP district That their
proposal complies with all the zoning requirements and that we will as part of our review require
that they provide landscaping around it so I haven t heard anything back from him but I told him
that I d give it to the Planning Commission and put it on the record
200
Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
Aller Okay just for the record we have received that and it should be made part of the Minutes
so thank you
Generous And then finally on the north side of this is the railroad tracks and it s very high
above this site so you can t actually see it from the north As I said there s three locations that
they re proposing parking expansion On the southwest corner of the site which is this area
down here they re proposing a total of 48 parking spaces The southeast corner they re proposing 41 spaces and on the east side there is a total of 66 spaces Again they re they would
develop this in phases with the first phase being the southwest parking area However if they did
have a big user come in I m sure they d put all the improvements in at one time The applicant is
here and he can expand on that Basically this is a review of the grading plan It should be
pointed out their extensive retaining wall systems on that The smallest one is located in the southwest parking area and it s highest point is 2 feet tall The second one is around the
southeast side of the building and it s tallest point is 6 8 feet On the east side along this edge of
the property they re proposing an 8 foot 8 foot tall retaining wall and then the final one in this
truck turnaround area would be 17 feet The issues that we have with their proposal would be
that on the east side of the property there s a 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement That contains a large stormwater pipe and so we would require that they keep all the retaining wall
improvements out of that easement What this will force them to do is either push all the parking
to the west adjacent to the building if that s possible or we looked at an alternative where they
could get a row of parallel parking on this east side and that would reduce because they re 8 foot
wide stalls instead of the 18 foot deep so they could pick up 10 feet Or they could just eliminate that parking in that area and leave it up to the applicant to figure out and their engineer what s
their best alternative The other issue that we talked about within the report is that depending on
the usage of the building there may be some exiting requirements along the south side
specifically if they have office occupancy in the warehouse area they would need to provide
additional egress from the building and that we believe that they could handle that through the use of a stairway system down into the parking area but it would again it depends on the
occupancy in the future so we just wanted to advise them upfront that that may become an issue
depending on who they get for a tenant And finally the landscaping plan they are deficient in
the number of landscape peninsulas that they have as part of their parking requirements City
code requires islands or peninsulas for every 6 000 square feet of vehicular use area This was intended to help break up the large expanses of parking lot and so they will need to provide us
with a revised plan showing how they re going to locate that and then there was one other issue
in this northeast corner of the parking lot This last stall is not protected by the landscape island
and so we would have them extend that out farther so vehicles coming around that corner won t
clip the back of a vehicle parked in that stall And then as far as landscaping right now there s significant trees in this area of the site that will be reviewed once these if this parking area goes
in and so they need to provide additional landscaping screening along that drive With that staff
is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions of the staff report And I d
be happy to answer any questions
Aller Okay we ll start Kevin if you have any
Ellsworth Ah Mr Chair yes I do On page 4 and 5 Bob we talk about stormwater management
and down at the bottom the first full paragraph on page 5 While this system is generally
2
201
Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
acceptable it is undetermined at this time how it will be maintained And so it looking for an
agreement on how it will be provided I did not see that in the recommendation on the conditions and maybe I missed that and I guess I m curious as to what that would encompass
Jeffery Chairman Aller Commissioner Ellsworth I have had discussion with the applicant and
with the applicant s engineer Their standard maintenance and operation operations and
maintenance manuals that would go with it It is a little tricky with the underground system as to how you get the sediment out of the void spaces That will be will need to be looked at as we
move forward At this time it was left fairly open ended so that we could have that discussion
and decide how best to handle it We do within our surface water management plan have
generalized form that we for private stormwater maintenance or private stormwater system
maintenance and that would be provided to the applicant for at a minimum a template of the minimum information that would be required
Ellsworth So you re confident that there s enough capability in this system and adequate
maintenance would be provided that this would not turn into a go no go situation
Jeffery Yeah that s correct That is correct because at this time what we are really looking for
is a more rate control with this system than treating We do have the Lake Susan pond that will
be providing the water quality treatment we re looking for It s really because of the large
watershed that goes through this system we need to make sure that we slow the water down
leaving the site and don t increase rates on the site
Ellsworth Who owns that Lake Susan pond and who s responsible for it s maintenance and
dredging it when it fills up and so on
Jeffery That is owned by the City of Chanhassen and we are responsible under MS4 permit for the maintenance of that and I did bring it up in the report that perhaps in future phases there
might be a more efficient way to spend their stormwater dollars over on that pond itself rather
than trying to install another one of these system with future phases That would be to be
determined and if we had enough lead time to try and come up with a way to do that but really at
this time we re primarily concerned with maintaining rates coming off of that site
Ellsworth Okay thanks Terry That s all Mr Chair
Hokkanen No questions Not yet
Aller Commissioner Doll
Doll Just is there a view issue with that vacant lot I m just confused as to how that would
affect their view of the park
Generous Is there a view issue
Doll With this email here about the
3
202
Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
Undestad The Pauls property
Doll The Pauls property
Aanenson Can you go back to that trail
Doll The view corridor is that really an issue
Aanenson When you look at that driveway coming up off of Powers Boulevard it s actually
fairly steep going up so really the view shed is on Powers Boulevard I think getting to and from
the site and I think that s what Mr Generous was saying Is that we look at landscaping that or
trying to replace that or put additional landscaping there but it does meet city code The city code does say that you should land screen parking in front of buildings so that s one of the
conditions of approval is so but they do have a right to do that just as long as they follow code
which will be the screening but yeah from the top of the site no It d be very difficult to see that
Doll I thought that site was higher on the other side
Aanenson Significantly yeah It s just I think it s just a view perspective coming in
Doll Okay That s it
Undestad No questions
Aller Ms Tennyson
Tennyson No questions
Aller Okay nothing from me at this point We have an application that wants to come forward
and make a presentation
John Ferrier Good evening Chair and Commissioners I m John Ferrier with CSM Corporation Also with me tonight is Mark Kronbeck He is with Alliant Engineering and put together the
engineering plans We reviewed the staff report and we agree with his findings You know this
parking lot expansion is largely market driven On the southwest portion of the site we have a
dismissed office area that s 100 office It is adjacent to some warehouse however there s very
little parking in front of that office area We ve had several tenants go through the space and say well we need more parking in the front of the you know kind of the entry part of the office so
Phase I is definitely that kind of V shaped area that he s pointing to right there The other areas
that we re proposing parking will be dictated by the kind of tenants we have come through there
We didn t want to be encumbered by the fact that they say oh we need more parking and then
we say it ll require city approval We wanted to get it approved all at once so we can at least show them an exhibit that shows all this parking This building has been largely vacant since we
purchased it so we re looking for all kinds of creative ideas to get it leased up which in turn helps
us and in turn helps you as well so we think that it s a great project We appreciate the help from
4
203
Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
staff and we ll work with staff to work through some of these issues as part of the
recommendation so if you have any other questions I m here to answer any questions
Aller I just want to confirm that what I m hearing from you is you ve read the report You
agree with all the conditions that are in the report
John Ferrier Yes
Aller And you understand that the that primarily that easement in that area has to stay pretty
much clear based on the conditions here concerning that water flow
John Ferrier Correct And I was talking with our engineer prior to the meeting He has some ideas to keep some of that parking and adhere to the easement so
Aller And then there were other conditions in here regarding the pollution discharge permits
and things like that
John Ferrier Right
Aller You understand that we want those before Phase I
John Ferrier Absolutely yep
Aller Okay Any other questions Great thank you very much Mr Ferrier Okay we ll open
the public hearing Anyone that wants to speak on the matter please come forward State your
name address for the record Seeing no one come forward I m going to close the public
hearing Comments from commissioners Tom anything
Doll No
Undestad No looks good
Ellsworth Looks like a good project
Aller I think it s a good project I like the fact that you looked at the entire plan even though it
may be done in phases That we get a foreshadowing of what s coming forward so and the
conditions are certainly reasonable I think it s a good plan Do I hear a motion
Undestad I ll make a motion

courses but we ve addressed some of their issues so actually the shooting range will be back on
next Monday There s a couple other action items they had to take so most of that meeting will
be dedicated to budget but they will hear we separated the paintball and shooting and actually it
was helpful because the City Attorney also just recently in Lakeville they had a Gaylan s that has shooting range so we had some of our specific questions addressed and added some
additional comments so you anything that would be requested would come back before you
under a conditional use permit so we felt comfortable the staff did with those changes and just

Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
wanted to make sure we didn t have any unintended consequences of making that
recommendation so that will be going forward
Ellsworth Kate was the reason they tabled it was to get more information or what
Aanenson Yeah I think as we were going through we decided myself specifically had a couple
questions regarding you know to separated kind of the building code issues I think we feel comfortable about that There s certainly a lot of air exchange requirements Lead requirements
Just other surrounding uses and you know kind of the zoning and kind of reviewed that again
with the city attorney and I think we feel comfortable under the conditional use No matter
what s next you want to make sure that that use is protected and I think that s actually a little bit
more addressed actually in the building codes so we feel comfortable with that and we ll look at those with the conditional use stands a thing we want to maybe hours of operation when those
specific ones come in that we may want to make sure we attach to that use
Ellsworth I was just seeing if it was a learning event for us if there was something we missed
that the council wanted to see
Aanenson No I think the Community Development Director just wanted to make sure
everything was
Aller I was watching the meeting and I think they went through the same process that we did We just had several meetings on it and were able to absorb things and conditions and
information and from what I was seeing the council members wanted just to absorb a little bit
more of the impact that it would have on the community and any potential unintended
consequences
Aanenson And I think too once someone makes that kind of a financial commitment it s pretty
significant The use isn t going to go away so you want to make sure that you know it s a good
neighbor not only for the surrounding uses but for the community too so I think we ve got that
addressed
Aller Thank you Great Let s see what else do we have here
Aanenson I did have one other thing that I just wanted to point out
Aller Yes
Aanenson Just pass out a note from the mayor Hopefully all of you are aware that CNN
Money Magazine named Chanhassen one of the top 10 places to live We re actually number 10
so I wanted to just pass along a note from the mayor He sent it to all city staff but also wanted
to include notes to the Planning Commission and send along thanks and congratulations to the Planning Commission and all the other advisory committees for all the significant role they play
in Chanhassen s success and development so it s I guess not something that we seek out but the
city was recognized as a great place Thank you for all that you do from the mayor

Chanhassen Planning Commission August 16 2011
Aller Alright And thank you to you and to staff because you make it easy for us up here with
these great reports which are very thorough and you get us the information that we need as citizen gate keepers so thank you
Aanenson If I may chairman I have just a couple other things I did put in your packet just a
couple items I m trying to do a better job of just including some things that maybe you
probably saw but just make sure that you re aware of kind of what s going on in the community We re actually experiencing a little boomlet there for residential permits so we re already at 97
units right now to date and we actually have probably another 14 in right now
Aller Ahead of schedule
Aanenson So we re ahead of schedule and doing well and so we re working on the sales
trailer s going out at the Reflections at Lake Riley That s the Lennar neighborhood over in
Springfield so that s a good sign It s keeping people working and there s just another area about
pockets of recovery that I just wanted to share with you too And then one final note then on
future Planning Commission items before we go to work session and that would be we re still planning on our tour and I think what Terry Jeffery s going to talk to you about tonight you ll
actually will be able to actually kind of field check that when we go out that We re going to
concentrate that you talked about some water resources and I think if we may Bob did check our
sunset time which is about 7 15 so we re going to see if we can start a little bit earlier and we ll
do a picnic dinner with that too and so we can drive around and look at some things as we ve done in the past and so we ll see if we can start a little earlier If we started obviously at 7 00
that would give us roughly 15 minutes so maybe we can start you know maybe by 6 00 that
would be great and kind of hit a few other spots so I ll put that in your packet next time and if
you let me know if you can or can t make it at that time so with that that s kind of all I had for
the regular order
th Aller And it looks like we have on calendar a variance for September 6
Aanenson Yes you do yeah and we may put some other just kind of work items on that
meeting too but there is one public hearing correct
Aller Great Alright Anything further Motion to adjourn
Doll moved Ellsworth seconded to adjourn the meeting All voted in favor and the motion
carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0 The Planning Commission meeting was adjourned at 7 20 p m

SUBJ Burrough s Hard Surface Cr overage Variance
Planning Case 11 07
PROPOSED MOTION
The Chanhassen City Council denies Planning Case 11 07 for a hard
surface coverage variance to construct a sport court and adopts the
Findings of Fact and Decision
Approval requires a majority of City Council present
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a 4 3 variance 681 square feet from the 25
maximum hard surface coverage limitation for the construction of a sport court on
property zoned Single Family Residential RSF
Planning Commission Update
A public hearing was held at the July 19 2011 Planning Commission meeting for
this item The Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 to deny the variance request The
applicant is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission to the City Council
The City Council s decision requires a majority of members present
Staff recognizes that currently there are no approved pervious surfaces but a
properly engineered low impact development LID best management practice
BMP could be considered as a mitigating factor as part of a variance request
from hardcover limitations Mitigating factors alone shall not be reason to grant
a variance rather approval or denial of a variance shall be based on reasonable
use and Practical Difficulties

Burrough s Variance
September 12 2011
Page 2
Staff met with the applicant on July 25 2011 and discussed what supporting documentation he
would need to provide if he wanted to make the argument that the proposed improvement would
mitigate for any increased impervious surfaces on the property The information would include
site specific hydrologic and hydraulic calculations The applicant waived the 60 day review
period in order to ensure adequate time to prepare and submit such supporting documentation
To date supporting documentation has not been provided
Without site specific information approval of this variance may be seen as an interpretation that
this material is an acceptable pervious alternative This interpretation will likely have future
implications
The Planning Commission did not find any objection to staff s recommendation for the variance
request
The Planning Commission minutes for this variance request are included in item 1 a of the City
Council Packet
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the following motion
The Chanhassen City Council denies Planning Case 11 07 for a hard surface coverage
variance to construct a sport court and adopts the Findings of Fact and Decision

Hello Angie this is Josh Koller with Southview Design and after meeting with you and Terry the following is what we would
like to do
1 We would like to appeal the decision of the planning commission that we meet with on July 19 We are waiving the 60 day review as well as the 120 day review so that we can bring the engineering material needed to Terry so that we can set our appeal up for the meeting on September 12 If you could let me know what time that will be
and where that would be great I will also need to know when you need the engineering material since we are setting up to meet in the 12
2 Terry like we talked about in the meeting today I would also like to be involved in looking for and coming up with
permeable applications throughout this winter so that we can find solutions for the upcoming spring if that is a possibility
3 Also Terry I did take notes from the meeting today however if you could give me anymore guidance if there is
anything also you need that is not on the sheet you gave me that would be great
Thanks

ACREAGE 0 36 15 847 square feet DENSITY NA
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION MAKING
The City s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance The City has a
relatively high level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation
from established standards This is a quasi judicial decision
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 29 3 hard surface coverage or 4 646 square feet
for the construction of a 681 square foot sport court in the rear yard of property zoned Single
Family Residential RSF The RSF zoning district permits a maximum of 25 hard surface
coverage The subject site is permitted 3 964 square feet site coverage
The as built survey for the subject site reflects 24 7 hard surface coverage and includes the single
family home attached three stall garage driveway patio stoop and front sidewalk

T dy 19 2 September 12 2011
Page 2 of 7
The southern portion of the Settlers West Addition is bordered by a bluff In addition to the bluff
the Hennepin County Regional Trail Corridor is located northwest of the site To the east of the site
are single family homes and the border between the City of Chanhassen and the City of Eden
Prairie
Water and sewer services are available to the site Access to the site is gained off of Trails End
Road which connects to Pioneer Trail in Eden Prairie
The site is currently being used in a reasonable manner and contains a single family home and
three car garage The request to exceed the 25 hard surface coverage limitation for the
construction of a sport court does not constitute a practical difficulty There are other alternatives
such as installing a basketball hoop in the front yard abutting the driveway Causing additional
impact to the bluff by way of increased runoff is not in harmony with the intent and sensitivity of
the development
Staff is recommending denial of the applicant s request based on the fact that the applicant has
reasonable use of the property and has not demonstrated that a practical difficulty exists

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 20 Division 3 Variances
Section 20 615 4 RSF District Requirements Hard Surface Coverage
Sec 20 905 6 Single family dwellings
BACKGROUND
The property is located on Lot 15 Block 4 Settlers West which is zoned Single Family
Residential RSF The subject property is 15 847 square feet in area It has a lot frontage of 80
feet 90 feet at the building setback line and approximately 150 feet in depth The minimum lot
dimensions in the RSF district are 15 000 square foot lot 90 foot lot frontage and 125 foot lot
depth This lot exceeds the minimum requirements for the RSF district
The building permit for the proposed home garage driveway front sidewalk and a 180 square
foot patio on the property was approved on June 6 2006 The building permit reflected a hard
surface coverage of 24 7 or 3 922 square feet The maximum impervious surface in the RSF
district is 25 or 3 964 square feet
In an attempt to minimize hard cover issues and ensure residential properties have a minimum
100 square foot future patio expansion area on July 6 2006 the City amended Sec 20 905
Single family dwellings 6 Where access doors are proposed from a dwelling to the outdoors
which does not connect directly to a sidewalk or stoop a minimum ten feet by ten feet hard
surface area shall be assumed Such surface area must be shown to comply with property lines
lake and wetland setbacks may not encroach into conservation or drainage and utility easements
and shall not bring the site s hard surface coverage above that permitted by ordinance
While the building permit for the subject site was approved prior to the above ordinance
amendment the building permit included a 180 square foot patio in the hard surface coverage
calculations
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a 4 3 hard surface coverage variance from the 25 maximum hard
surface coverage The lot area is 15 847 square feet The original building permit occupied
3 922 square feet of hard cover this included outdoor improvements

T gy 19 2 September 12 2011
Page 5 of 7
Prior to the public hearing the applicant applied for a Residential Zoning Permit to remove the
existing patio and install a 168 square foot patio and 54 square feet of stone steppers These
improvements bring the site to 25 hard surface coverage maximizing the site coverage
In addition to the previous improvements the applicant is requesting a variance to construct a
681 square foot sport court which brings the site to 29 3 hard surface coverage
The applicant contends that the proposed sport court would be pervious and would allow for
more infiltration than would occur if the area was left as traditional lawn To support this
position the applicant has provided a study prepared at the request of Sport Court Inc by the
Utah Water Research Laboratory at Utah State University In summary the study finds that the
Hydraulic Conductivity or the rate at which water passes through the SportTile is greater than
gravel sand and other soil types This indicates that the sport tile would not be the limiting
factor for the infiltration rates in the area but rather that the underlying materials would limit
infiltration The authors draw the same conclusion on page 7 of the report
The soils in this area are Kilkenny Lester Loams These soils are in the Hydrologic Group C
which has a high potential for runoff and can have an infiltration rate as low as 0 05 inches per
hour The seasonally high water table is within three 3 feet of the surface and the soil has
approximately 40 clay by volume These soils compact readily to the point where they are
virtually impervious The Installation Instructions SportBaseTM prepared by Sport Court and
provided by the applicant instructs on page 2 of 6 that after excavation the subgrade shall be
compacted It then goes on to state in the next section that the base material should be
com ap cted as well This will effectively render the sport court area impervious negating any
benefit derived from the hydraulic conductivity of the SportBaseTM
When storm sewer systems are
designed it is inherent that certain
assumptions are made in order to
model anticipated runoff volumes
and rates One assumption is that
no lot will have greater than 25
hardcover If several individual
lots exceed this 25 then the
storm sewer infrastructure
becomes inadequate for the new
conditions and localized flooding
infrastructure damage erosion
stream degradation and other
deleterious effects may result
Currently Chanhassen City Code
does not recognize any alternative

hard surface materials If the City were to allow alternate pervious surfaces a number of issues
including site design engineering of soils and materials construction observation long term
maintenance and long term preservation would have to be addressed Even with the resolution
of these issues it is important to note why the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and
numerous other agencies are considering alternative hard surface materials with a high hydraulic
conductivity
The agency shall develop performance standards design standards or other tools
to enable and promote the implementation of low impact development and other
storm water management techniques For the purposes of this section low
impact development means an approach to storm water management that
mimic s a site s natural hydrology as the landscape is developed Using low
impact development approach storm water is managed on site and the rate and
volume ofpredevelopment storm water reaching receiving waters is unchanged
The calculation ofpredevelopment hydrology is based on native soil and
vegetation Minnesota Statutes 2009 section 115 03 subdivision Sc
The intent is to reduce runoff by mimicking the hydrology and hydraulics of the natural
environment not to allow for the maximization of allowed hardcover on a lot of record and then
further increase hardscaping Not only are there implications to surface water management but
there are also aesthetic implications that accompany the loss of green space
Settlers West Subdivision
Significant efforts were made during the development of Settler s West to protect the bluff areas
by controlling the rate and volume of runoff and maintaining existing drainage conditions
Sensitive areas were put into protective outlots and discharge points from the storm sewer
conveyance system were designed and constructed with extraordinary stabilization and energy
dissipation methods As this area ultimately drains to the bluffs along the Hennepin County
Regional Rails to Trails System any potential increase in runoff rate or volume could potentially
result in erosion along the bluff
While it is evident that the actual SportBaseTM tiles are pervious the construction method and the
existing site conditions would not result in a truly pervious system but rather in a highly
compacted clay subgrade with less hydraulic conductivity than currently exists Even in the
event that proper engineering and construction could provide for adequate infiltration the
Chanhassen City Code does not make allowances for alternate pervious hard cover If in the
future the City considers allowing certain pervious surfaces it will be important to consider the
reason behind limiting hard cover and the implications and limitations of any such system Until
such a time as these issues are resolved and City Code allows for some use of alternate pervious
systems in certain redevelopment or hardship circumstances staff cannot recommend approval
of the request to exceed the 25 maximum hard surface coverage limitation

and intent of this Chapter and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive
plan
Finding The request to exceed the hard surface coverage in the RSF district on a lot that
exceeds the minimum lot requirements for the construction of a sport court is not in
harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Chapter Significant efforts were
made during the development of Settlers West to protect the bluff areas by controlling the
rate and volume of runoff and maintaining existing drainage conditions Sensitive areas
were put into protective outlots and discharge points from the storm sewer conveyance
system were designed and constructed with extraordinary stabilization and energy
dissipation methods As this area ultimately drains to the bluffs along the Hennepin
County Regional Rails to Trails System any potential increase in runoff rate or volume
could potentially result in erosion along the bluff
223
b When there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance Practical
difficulties as used in connection with the granting of a variance means that the
property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this
Chapter Practical difficulties include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct
sunlight for solar energy systems
Finding Currently the property owners have reasonable use of a property within the
RSF district as a single family home with a three car garage as well as an outdoor
patio seating area already constructed on the property While the purpose of the proposed
sport court is for residential use it is not a practical difficulty to exceed the 25
maximum hard surface coverage limitation
c That the purpose of the variation is not based upon economic considerations alone
Finding The purpose of the variance is not based on economic considerations The
applicant is requesting a variance to exceed the 25 hard surface coverage limitation in
the RSF district for the construction of an outdoor sport court for personal use
d The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by
the landowner
Finding The request is not based on a unique circumstance the subject site exceeds the
minimum lot requirements within the RSF district The building permit for the proposed
home garage driveway front sidewalk and a 180 square foot patio on the property was
approved on June 6 2006 The building permit reflected a hard surface coverage of
24 7 or 3 922 square feet The maximum impervious surface in the RSF district is 25
or 3 964 square feet The applicant has reasonable use of the property
e The variance if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality
Finding While the addition of a sport court will not alter the essential character of the
locality exceeding the hard surface coverage and any increase in runoff rate or volume
could potentially result in erosion along the bluff
f Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in Minnesota
Statutes Section 216C 06 subdivision 14 when in harmony with this Chapter
Finding This does not apply to this request

This is a recreational family sport court designer for residential use
B
Our goal is to install a sport court The sport court system we have
chosen is a completely permeable system designed to allow all water to pass
through We will install the system on a sand base that is also completely
permeable allowing all water to be able to infiltrate into the ground
Therefore this system should not be considered hardcover so the landscape
being installed will not exceed the hardcover requirements
C
This sport court is used for the homeowners use with there family not
to charge a fee or to make money in any way

Introduction
A water infiltration test of SportBase tiles was performed to determine the rate at which
water passes through the drain holes and tile joints The infiltration test bench was
constructed which featured a sealed and painted 6 ft x 6 ft x 2 ft deep wooden box with
16 SportBase tiles as the floor The floor had 9 whole tiles in the center 6 tiles were cut
in half for the edges and the remaining tile was cut in fourths to place in the corners
Each tile was supported by two 2 inch by 4 inch wooden studs and the box was leveled to
create a uniform pool depth over the entire floor Water was introduced at different rates
as a point source in the center of the floor The water was introduced into a diffusing
structure that would produce even water distribution in all directions The test set up can
be seen in Figure 1
Figure 1 The model setup
The objective of the test was to determine a representative infiltration rate for the tiles
which was done by calculating a representative hydraulic conductivity k value for each
flow condition Hydraulic conductivity is calculated per Equation 1 Permeability is
related to hydraulic conductivity per Equation 2
K QL 1
L
k Kp 2

In Equations 1 and 2 Q is the volumetric flow rate cfs per tile L is the length of the
porous media tile height A is the flow area total area of the test box floor divided by
the number of tiles hL is the energy gradient depth of water in the box is the water
dynamic viscosity lb s ft p is the water density slugs ft and g is the gravitational
constant ft s The test results report Q in terms of gallons per minute gpm a
conversion factor is applied for calculating k
232
Test Results
Different flow rates were supplied to determine the infiltration rate of the tiles As shown
in Figure 1 the discharge into the box was concentrated at the center of the box a baffle
structure was used to uniformly distribute the flow radially
Drain Holes Open
At 12 5 gpm tile and the drain holes open the tiles passed water efficiently enough that
tiles in the corner of the box remained dry At flow rates of 62 5 gpm tile and less the
flow exiting the baffle in the center of the box was supercritical shallow flow depth high
velocity with a hydraulic jump transitioning the flow to subcritical deeper flow depth
slower velocity some distance from the center resulting in a non uniform reservoir
conditions At 75 gpm tile a uniform flow depth was present in the box no supercritical
flow was present with a flow depth of 4 inches Figures 2 through 6 show images of
different flow rates being introduced into the box
The test results for the open drain hole tests are shown in Table 1 As previously
discussed a uniform flow depth did not exist in the box for the majority of the test
conditions due in part to the high drainage capacity of the tiles and the point source
method of supplying water to the test facility The flow depth around the perimeter of the
box subcrtical flow was used as the representative flow depth h Consequently the
reported k values should be considered conservative actual k values would be higher if a
uniform flow depth existed for all flow rates k decreased as hL increased the average
value of k was 0 076 ft sec
Drain Holes Closed
The same tests were repeated with the tile drain holes plugged corks were used to plug
the drain holes The test results are also reported in Table 1 The drain holes appear to
provide little contribution to drainage relative to the test conducted k values essentially
unchanged from the drain hole open testing If the supercritical flow condition did not
exist and a uniform flow depth were present in the box for all flow conditions the holes
would likely have made a more significant contribution to the total drainage capacity of
the tiles The average k value for the closed drain hole condition was 0 070

Conclusions
Typical K values for gravel sand silt and clay are shown in Table 2 A comparison of
the data presented in Tables 1 and 2 indicates that the SportBase tiles have a hydraulic
conductivity that falls within the gravel category 0 003 fps exceeding the conductivity

of sand silt and clay The substrate materials above which the tiles would be installed
will likely control the infiltration capacity of the SportBase tiles One factor that may
influence the composite conductivity of a tile substrate assembly is that fact that the
water draining though the tiles is confined to the area between the tiles and the drain
holes if included meaning that the water will not be uniformly supplied at the
tile substrate interface and the composite conductivity will likely be reduced

based on Dunn et al 1980
based on Sumanasooriya et al 2009 water temperature of 20 C assumed
Sumanasooriya et al 2009 conducted tests to determine the permeability of pervious
concrete They reported pervious concrete permeability values of lE 9 to 2E 9 m2
which produce K values of 0 01 to 0 02 mm s for water at 20 C as shown in Table 2
For the conditions under which it was tested no substrate material the permeability of
the SportBase tiles shown in Table 1 is an order of magnitude higher 3E 8 m2 than
the pervious concrete values Figure 7 summarizes the hydraulic conductivity values of
the SportBase tile with and without drain holes the substrate materials listed in Table 2
and the pervious concrete Consistent with the conductivity discussion the composite
permeability of the SportBase tiles and an underlying substrate material will likely
decrease relative to the value reported in Table 1 due to the fact that the water draining
through the SportBase tiles is limited to a small cross sectional area gaps between the
tiles at the point where it transitions to the substrate

Site Prep
SportBase may be installed above or below grade depending on the scope of the project and intended
application
Below Grade
1 Excavation
Remove existing pavement turf or existing soil to the proper depth The proper depth will be the
finished surface less the modular flooring thickness SportBase thickness and compacted base
material The amount of base material is often determined by a local soil engineer and will depend on the ground s water retention saturation and expansion properties Typical base thickness will range
from 4 inches to 8 inches
2 Compact Subgrade
After excavation is down to the proper level compact the subgrade Depending on the type of soil
compaction maybe done with a roller rammer or a vibraplate compactor
3 Install Forms
Select forms tall enough to accommodate the depth of the compacted base Secure the forms around
the perimeter of the court area using stakes to hold the forms upright Make sure frames are square at
each corner
4 Install Base Material
Select a base material that is granular and compacts easily Suggested bases include sand 5 8 minus
gravel crusher fines etc Spread and compact the base in 4 inch lifts using a compactor Screed the
compacted base to level off the surface For best results use a powered roller screed Compact the
surface a final time making sure the base material is level by filling in low spots and removing high
spots
5 Install Geotextile Fabric
Roll out geotextile fabric across entire subsurface overlapping each roll to ensure no gaps exist Make
sure geotextile fabric is smooth and contains no wrinkles If fabric stakes are used be sure to press
them flush with the compacted base surface
Above Grade
1 Excavation

Installing SportBase
1 Begin installing SportBase panels at any corner of the court Align the SportBase corner with the
corner of the subsurface
2 Install one row of SportBase panels along the width of the court aligning the edge of the panels with
the subsurface edge Install panels by inter locking the puzzle piece connections with the previous
panel see Figure 2 Pull each panel so that the gap between each is roughly 1 8 Install edge locks
between each panel to help maintain the proper panel spacing see Figure 1 SportBase panels may
overhang the edge of subsurface opposite from the starting location
3 Install one column of SportBase panels along the length of the court aligning the edge of the panels
with the subsurface edge see Figure 2 Pull each panel so that the gap between each is roughly 1 8
Install edge locks between each panel to help maintain the proper panel spacing see Figure 1 Leave
a gap of 3 8 1 2 between the panel edges and the inside edge of the compacted base form
SportBase panels may overhang the edge of the subsurface opposite from the starting location

4 Once a row and column of panels has been installed the rest of the SportBase grid can be filled in
Install the next row of SportBase panels along the width of the court by inter locking the puzzle piece
features and setting the panel straight down Pull the panels so that there is an even gap measuring
roughly 1 8 between each of the panels
5 As you proceed install the corner locks at each intersection where four SportBase panels come
together see Figure 3 It is critical to install the corner locks as each SportBase is laid down in
order to allow for the correct spacing between each panel
Figure 3
6 Continue installing the SportBase panels and corner locks until the entire subsurface is covered
7 Any panels overhanging the compacted subsurface must be trimmed 3 8 1 2 from the edge of the
compacted base forms Snap a chalk line along the length and width of the court to indicate whereto
trim
8 Use a circular saw or other suitable cutting device to trim the SportBase panels
9 Optional The male end puzzle piece may be trimmed off the SportBase panel and inserted into the
female puzzle piece to fill in the holes along the edge of the SportBase surface see Figure 4

10 Once trimming is complete install any remaining edge locks to secure the perimeter SportBase panels
see Figure 1 Note panels trimmed beyond the locking feature will not be compatible with the edge
lock pieces
11 Once SportBase panels are installed over the compacted subsurface use a vibrating plate compactor
to seat the SportBase panels Any high or low spots will require removal of SportBase panel followed
by leveling the surface
12 Install Sport Court modular flooring products following pre designed layout and color scheme
Disassembly
If any repairs need to be made to the compacted subsurface or if a SportBase panel is damaged and requires
replacement individual panels can be removed without disturbing the adjacent panels installed It may be
necessary to remove Sport Court modular products in the area that needs replacement or repair
1 Using the corner lock removal tool align the forks with the slots in the SportBase panels
2 Firmly press the lock removal tool straight down to disconnect the corner lock piece from the SportBase
panels
3 Lift lock removal tool and corner connector piece from the floor

Setting Anchors for Components
If the court requires installation of components hoops lights etc be aware that the concrete footings need to accommodate the additional 2 height of the SportBase product Install forms around the hole for the anchor to
raise the height of the concrete footing to be flush with the top of the SportBase surface This will ensure that the net hole locations on hoop and light systems will be located at their appropriate heights see Figure 6

Hi Robert
I work with the Pauls Family Trust which is the owner of the adjacent undeveloped property
on the west side of Powers Dr PID 251900370
We are concerned about the addition of 150 parking spaces being added to this lot
Our primary concern is with the spaces located at the intersection of Powers and Lake Drive These
will fall directly in the view corridor from our lot to Lake Susan Park We have no problems with any of the
other lot expansions
Since our intersection is already built we will have to build a road north east from
that intersection parallel to Powers Dr to access our lot as seen on PID map attached When leaving our lot you will look
right
at those new parking spaces as you drive down to the intersection from our build able area
Please include this in the meeting minutes
If you have any questions please call
Scott or Glenn at

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION MAKING
The City s discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the
proposed project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements If it meets those standards the
City must then approve the site plan This is a quasi judicial decision
PROPOSAL SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing a 155 space expansion of the site parking The applicant believes that
this parking expansion makes the building more marketable to office and warehouse tenants They
have been in contact with potential tenants who have expressed a concern about the lack of parking
near the office portion of the building which is located on the west end of the building
Additionally the parking expansion permits greater flexibility for additional office space within the
building The parking will be installed in phases with the parking immediately southwest of the
251

building being installed first The parking in the southeast portion of the building will be installed
second and the parking on the east end and the truck loading maneuvering area will be installed
third However should a large user be found all the parking could be installed in one phase
Some of this parking located east of the building was previously shown as part of a building
expansion approved in 2000 but was held in proof of parking status However the proposed
parking lot expansion and the resulting grading operation exceeded the amount that could be
approved by staff administratively 1 000 cubic yards The City may approve site grading through
the site plan review process the interim use process or as part of a subdivision Since the proposal
includes both landscaping sign relocation and site lighting review in addition to the grading and
parking lot expansion the site plan review process is appropriate With this site plan they will have
all their approvals in place for construction of the parking lot expansion
The property to the east is Roberts Automatic Products another industrial user Lake Susan Park is
located south across Lake Drive To the west across Powers Boulevard is a vacant office industrial
site To the north are the railroad tracks at the top of a steep slope elevation 946 35 feet above the
finished floor elevation of the building elevation 911 To the southwest the proposed parking
expansion will be approximately seven feet above the corner of Powers Boulevard and Lake Drive
The site is served by City sewer and water service Access is via Lake Drive with two driveways
Truck access is limited to the easterly driveway
The building is currently estimated to have the following breakdown of space usage Office
16 500 square feet manufacturing area 78 760 square feet and warehouse 96 925 square feet
When the site plan was originally approved in 1989 the parking requirements for an office use
were 3 spaces per 1 000 square feet of building area At the time of the building expansion in
2000 City of Chanhassen s standards were 4 5 spaces per 1 000 square feet Based on the
parking requirements the site needed the following parking Office 74 spaces largest shift
65 spaces warehouse 54 spaces The total spaces needed were 193 spaces There were ample
locations to incorporate additional parking on site At that time staff visited the site on two
different occasions and noticed that approximately one half of the parking was occupied The
City permitted 30 percent of the parking 58 stalls in proof of parking pursuant to section 20
1124 1 of the City Code These spaces are located along the east side of the building If
parking had become a problem the City could have required the installation of the additional
parking spaces
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan subject to the conditions of this staff report

ACCESS
Access to the site is provided from Lake Drive via two existing driveways No additional street
access is being proposed
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
This 12 6 acre site is located in Empak Addition which is on the northeast corner of Powers
Boulevard and Lake Drive A 188 900 square foot building with parking is currently on the site
Beyond the parking and building areas is grass This development is located in the Bluff Creek
Watershed District
Grading will take place on the site to prepare the parking areas The grass area maximum slope
must not exceed 3 1
Runoff from this site will be treated using an underground treatment system The drainage and
storm sewer system within the site is privately owned and must be maintained by the owner
Existing runoff rates must be maintained for the 2 10 and 100 year rain events The drainage

calculations do not match the plans The applicant must submit revised plans and calculations
meeting City requirements
An easement is required from the appropriate property owner for any off site grading If
importing or exporting material for development of the site is necessary the applicant will be
required to supply the City with detailed haul routes
Erosion and Sediment Control
The applicant has prepared an erosion
control plan for all phases of this project
The first phase of this project will result in
3 1 slopes with a positive grade towards
Lake Drive This disturbed area will need
to be covered with erosion control blanket
or sod within 14 days of cessation of
work This should be indicated in the
plan Other than the need for blanket or
sod on all 3 1 slopes the plan appears
adequate for existing conditions
However a note must be added to the plan
that additional best management practices
may be necessary as site and climatic

construction
To assure that erosion and sediment control best management practices are installed and
maintained an escrow or letter of credit in the amount of 2 450 will be required with the first
phase This number was calculated based upon 450 feet of silt fence three 3 inlet protection
devices and 370 yards of blanket and seed
Storm Water Management
The applicant is proposing to construct 155 new parking stalls in three areas These parking
areas are to be phased in with only the most southwesterly parking area being constructed with
the first phase The applicant is proposing to utilize perforated storm sewer and embedded
within a rock trench to achieve rate control and some pre treatment of the runoff
Water from this site is directed to Lake Susan pond LS P3 34 Approximately 150 acres of
commercial and industrial land use is also directed to the Lake Susan Pond This water is routed
through three primary storm sewer conveyance routes Powers Boulevard from MN T H 5 to
Lake Drive is routed through a 30 inch RCP along Powers Boulevard Chanhassen Retail
Addition is routed through a 36 inch RCP immediately east of the subject property The third
area drains through a 30 inch RCP along Lake Drive and accepts drainage from Lake Drive as
well as the intersection of T H 5 and MN T H 101 Because of the size of the drainage area
being conveyed through these pipes the applicant must either model the entire watershed to

show that there is adequate capacity in the pipes or maintain or preferably decrease discharge
rates to the system
While this system is generally acceptable it is undetermined at this time how it will be
maintained The City has required and the consulting engineer has agreed to provide a long
term operations and maintenance plan for this system This system will remain private and the
land owner will be responsible for the maintenance of the system
With proper lead time staff has indicated to the applicant s engineer that the City would have an
interest in working with the applicant to procure grant funds and partner or accept cash in lieu of
installation of the pretreatment features being proposed Because of the existing infrastructure
and size of the contributing watershed rate control must be achieved on site However the City
would still have an interest in partnering with the applicant and other agencies to implement
some alternative storm water BMPs
WETLANDS AND SHORELAND
No wetlands appear to exist on or immediately adjacent to the proposed project area Although
the subject property is tributary to both Lake Susan and Riley Creek it lies outside of the
shoreland overlay district for both of these water bodies
RETAINING WALLS
The proposed retaining walls are as follows
Location Length
approx
Maximum
Height
rox app
Southeast corner parking area 1 Wall 1 70 feet 2 5 feet
North side of parking area 2 5 from the building Wall 2 430 feet 6 8 feet
East side of parking area 3 Wall 3 360 feet 8 8 feet
North side of parking area 4 Wall 4 330 feet 17 5 feet
Building permits are required for all retaining walls four feet tall or higher and must be designed
by a Structural Engineer registered in the State of Minnesota
The exits in front of Wall 2 may be inadequate for some uses of the building under the proposed
parking scenario Exterior exit discharge must accommodate exits served The parking stalls in
this area should be constructed at the time when a final end user is determined so that the exits
will not limit the occupancy
The wall and support structure not including soil in Parking Area 3 must be moved outside of
the City utility easement A 36 inch diameter storm sewer is within this easement Moving the
wall in this area will cause a reduction in the number of parking stalls

determined prior to start of construction due to the possible phasing of the project and not
knowing the amount to be installed and disturbed
The applicant must also notify the City after installation of the erosion control and 48 hours prior
to the commencement of grading Permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies will be
required
LIGHTING SIGNAGE
The applicant is proposing parking lot lighting as part of the parking area expansion The
photometric plan describes the use of 25 foot poles which would comply with city requirements
that restrict pole height to 30 feet City code requires that all fixtures must be shielded high

Re Upgrade of the Southwest Twin Cities SWTC Chaska Area
69 kV Transmission Line to 115 kV Capacity
Docket No E002 CN 11 826
Dear Local Official
My name is Paul Lehman I manage regulatory projects for Xcel Energy and
am writing to provide information about our proposal to rebuild the Chaska
Area 69 kV transmission line to 115 kV capacity in or near the City of Chaska
This rebuild project is needed to prevent overloading conditions on
transmission facilities serving the City of Chaska area The rebuild will also
provide for future growth and development in the southwest region of the
Twin Cities In the near term this project is needed to maintain reliable service
to the community with the significant new electrical load of the Chaska Data
Center currently under construction
The proposed project entails rebuilding existing lines converting the voltage on
an existing line and constructing new transmission lines as described below
Rebuild approximately 1 5 miles of Xcel Energy 69 kV transmission
line to 115 kV transmission line between the Scott County Substation
and the City of Chaska
Construct approximately 0 6 miles of new Xcel Energy 115 kV
transmission line through the City of Chaska
Remove approximately 0 4 miles of existing Xcel Energy 69 kV line in
the City of Chaska approximately from structure 012 to 021
306
Rebuild approximately 1 8 miles of Xcel Energy 69 kV transmission
line to 115 kV capacity between the Chaska Substation and where
Highway 212 crosses the subject line
Construct approximately 2 miles of new Xcel Energy 115 kV
transmission line starting north along Highway 212 to a new Chaska
West Creek Substation
Construct approximately 0 5 miles of new Xcel Energy 115 kV
transmission line from the new West Creek Substation west to the
existing Great River Energy Victoria tap 69 kV line serving the City of
Victoria
Convert the operating voltage to 115 kV on the approximately 2 9 mile
long Great River Energy Victoria tap 69 kV line This line was
constructed using 115 kV structures but is currently not capable of
operating at 115 kV due to the 69 kV switch structure in place Once
the existing 69 kV switch is replaced with a 115 kV switch structure no
additional physical work is required on this segment of line to change
the operating voltage of the line to 115 kV
Abandon in place approximately 1 0 mile of existing Xcel Energy 69
kV line along County Road 140 from Highway 212 to Victoria tap
approximately from structure 067 to 086
Rebuild approximately 2 8 miles of Xcel Energy 69 kV transmission
line to 115 kV capacity between the Victoria tap line and structure
142 near Aue Lake west of Augusta
Associated 115 kV reconfigurations and or upgrades at the various 69
kV substation facilities along these lines
The enclosed map illustrates the proposed project The 69 kV line to be rebuilt
to 115 kV capacity is illustrated by the orange dashed line The solid red line
depicts the new 115 kV line proposed to be constructed The yellow dashed
line depicts the line that will be converted to 115 kV capacity
For your reference typically 115 kV transmission lines use wood or steel poles
that are 60 to 80 feet tall and spaced about 300 to 400 feet apart within a right
of way that is about 75 feet wide At this early stage in the process detailed
design has not been done but we do expect that the sections of 69 kV
307
transmission line being rebuilt to 115 kV capacity will be completely replaced
with new poles and conductors
We are at the very beginning of the regulatory processes that will be undertaken
to determine whether the upgrades are needed and if so where the facilities
should be constructed The line cannot be constructed unless the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission issues a Certificate of Need and a Route Permit
Before we can submit an application for a Certificate of Need the Commission
must approve a Notice Plan which is a plan that outlines how we will officially
notify local governmental authorities and potentially affected landowners of the
proposal and the regulatory approval process We submitted our plan on
August 11 2011 which is under review by the Commission
The Certificate of Need process also authorizes an applicant to customize its
application so that it is tailored to the specific need supporting the project
This customization process is called an Exemption Request and we
submitted just such a request on August 31 2011 The Commission will
establish a comment period which is expected to end around September 20
2011 for interested stakeholders to submit comments on the merits of our
Exemption Request We are letting you know of this step now so that you are
aware of it and can make comments on our filing should you wish to do so If
you choose not to comment on this filing at this time there will be ample
opportunities to be involved as activities proceed with additional steps in the
process
Our Notice Plan and Exemption Request are filed with the Commission and
can be accessed on the Commission s Edockets system
https www edockets state mn us The Docket Number is 11 826 The
Commission s Notice Soliciting Comments on the Exemption Request is
expected to be posted there soon If the Edockets system is unavailable or you
have trouble getting the documents from there please let us know and we can
get you copies directly
After the Commission approves a Notice Plan and makes a decision on our
Exemption Request we will be sending additional materials to you and
landowners to provide further information regarding the Project the regulatory
processes and opportunities for participation
