RECOMMENDATION
Staff is supportive of either model of providing the community service support
The CSO position is a cost effective way to address public safety needs that do
not require a sworn officer In either model this service would be budget
neutral Staff will facilitate a discussion on the two models at Monday s
meeting
The benefits of having the CSO s on city staff include the ability to provide
direct work direction a close working relationship with city departments and
flexibility in scheduling
The benefits of having the CSO s housed under the County include shifting the
supervisory responsibility and the depth of staffing at the CSO position i e the
County would be able to backfill the position when someone is on vacation and
the ability to access more of the County s Record Management System
Staff is confident that we can continue to provide good customer service to our
residents under either model

pavers to retain water runoff on the site Councilwoman Ernst asked about using permeable options in conjunction with road projects in the Carver Beach neighborhood Terry Jeffery stated it was staff s
recommendation that while the use of alternate pervious surfaces may be helpful they should be used below the 25 impervious surface with the ultimate goal of reducing the amount of runoff from a site

future council members

private entities and the possibility of the City charging or not charging as a service provider Mayor Furlong noted the challenge will be in the coordination of the program Councilman Laufenburger stated

change

LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATES
Mayor Furlong Good evening Lieutenant
Lt Jeff Enevold Mr Mayor council good evening I have three quick items for you this evening I see
we have a large crowd here that s probably anxious to talk I ve been up here and talked about this item before but it continues to happen so I think it s worth repeating We continue to have thefts from
vehicles Lake Minnewashta dog park Lake Ann Park Bluff Creek Elementary and the Landscape Arboretum Our Chanhassen investigator has identified one of the suspects He served a search warrant
at their home and we ve recovered some stolen property and we re trying to get that back to the owners
Last week our investigator also obtained a confession from another individual identified in this thefts and charges are pending against that individual We ve linked these thefts to a ring that s working the area
and we re working with our law enforcement neighbors to try and identify others in this ring and get them
out of operation here in the area so our investigator s done a nice job What the thieves do is they ll target
3
20
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
vehicles with purses inside They ll snap up the credit card and they ll make a beeline for the stores and
get gifts cards before the card can be cancelled so we re working with the local stores here in identifying
some of these folks They ve got some pretty good video of some of these folks We re doing our best to get them all identified and again we re going to ask for the public s help in reducing these incidents by
reducing opportunities You know lock your vehicles Take stuff out of there If we reduce the
opportunities we can reduce the crimes I mean it s a simple solution there Some proactive steps that we re taking to reduce the crimes and educate our community is providing extra patrols in the areas that
are affected I worked with the County Parks to place a sign at Lake Minnewashta at the entrance there to just remind folks as they drive through to you know let s not tempt the thieves Lock your stuff up If
you see anything suspicious call 911 and we can respond there and try and catch these folks You know
just this morning a deputy stopped in my office to update me on things that happened over the weekend and he says he was providing some extra patrol in the Minnewashta area the dog park area specifically
the area that gets hit and he pulled in and got out of his squad car and there were 9 vehicles parked there
Walked along there to look inside and 5 of them had purses in the front seat so so this is the issue here You know we need the public s help in doing this so I walked across the hall to our Crime Prevention
Specialist and we talked about some additional items we can do to help to reduce these opportunities and we re going to give work direction to our CSO s and to our deputies to start placing crime prevention
cards on the windshields of the cars and the vehicles and hopefully some of this stuff will you know the
repetition will sink in here and they can help us prevent some of these crimes We re going to continue to be proactive and try and educate our community and reduce these crimes The second issue I have is last thth month October 14 through 27 the sheriff s office participated in the Click It or Ticket Enhanced
Seatbelt Education Enforcement Campaign That s quite a mouth full We issued 133 seatbelt violations
2 child restraint citations during that 2 week period Unfortunately during the last 3 years in Carver County 10 unbelted motorists were killed and 6 were seriously injured The good news out of this I m
happy to report that the city of Chanhassen had a 98 compliance rate with the seatbelt law so and you compare that with the national average which was 85 and the state average which is 93 we re doing
pretty good but again there s still room for improvement there You know 98 is good but you know we
want that 100 so we re going to continue to educate our citizens on the importance of wearing seatbelts th and that they do save lives so Last item I have for you is on Saturday October 29 the sheriff s office
participated in the prescription drug take back event One site was here next door at the senior center in
Chanhassen We held one down at Chaska and then one out in Waconia We opened our doors to the senior center at 10 00 a m and we closed them at 2 00 p m I was there to coordinate the event We had
two DEA agents there Representative from the County Attorney s office was there Two of our Carver
County Explorers and one of our reserves was also there to help with the event We had 86 people come through the door and we collected 125 pounds of prescription drugs which was pretty successful The
citizens that I talked to as they came through the door were really appreciative of this event You know they come through with bags full of prescriptions They d say boy I ve been hanging onto this stuff for 2
years I don t know what to do with it You know thank you for doing this you know I went over to
mom and dad s house We cleaned out the medicine cabinet You know it s been sitting around so really
appreciative of it and we re going to make it even more convenient for our citizens to drop off their prescription drugs At the first of the year we re going to have a permanent prescription drop box down at
the sheriff s office in Chaska so you can come down there anytime and drop off any prescriptions so that
is all I have for you Mr Mayor and council Any questions for me
Mayor Furlong Thank you Any questions for Lieutenant Enevold No
Lt Jeff Enevold Great thanks
Mayor Furlong Very good thank you We ll continue with the law enforcement and fire department
updates with Chief John Wolff of the Chanhassen Fire Department Good evening Chief

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Chief John Wolff Good evening Mayor good evening council members Just a brief presentation
tonight We are currently in the process of evaluating our mid manager line officer positions so
lieutenants and captains We have 14 applications we re reviewing for 9 open positions All the positions are open and also the command staff The chief officers are developing our year end plans for 2012 to
ensure we re meeting service needs of all of our customers All of our constituents Recently 24
members of the department were involved with combined training with the Southwest Fire Group which is a combination of fire departments in eastern Carver County and southwest Hennepin County over at
the Edina Fire Training Facility There were well over 200 fire fighters from the various organizations attending this It was our first opportunity to actually participate in this event and very worthwhile Six
different sessions over 3 days and as I said 24 of our members were involved with this A couple recent
calls We had a fairly large brush fire down at Powers and Pioneer We needed assistance from Victoria and Chaska Fire to contain the fire We had a small garage fire that was discovered by a homeowner and
it had involved the exterior of the building With a quick response from the sheriff s department they
were able to get extinguishers on that fire The reason why I mention this fire because nothing really serious happened There was minimal damage The week prior Eden Prairie had a very similar fire
which ourselves and about 6 other jurisdictions also visited or went to and it was a complete it was a complete destruction of the home No injuries to homeowners Three fire fighters were injured in that
event None of them were from Chanhassen so it s a real small or thin line between a minimal situation
and a serious situation I really would like to close with some holiday fire safety tips The winter season whether it s the holiday time or otherwise is the busiest time of year for fires It s a 2 to 1 relative to the
summer spring and fall Major causes for this are heating Heating and cooking believe it or not so
about half of the fires that we see are either heating related portable space heaters or things like that or
cooking fires When you throw in the holiday decorations and Christmas trees the holiday season can be very dangerous so we just want to encourage our citizens to be very careful with natural Christmas trees
Keep them keep the water in the stands Make sure that they don t get dry When they do get dry you really need to remove them It s very similar to gasoline when a Christmas tree is exposed to any kind of
fire It s the whole thing will be going up in 30 to 45 seconds and that becomes a real problem it
becomes a very serious fire situation Almost half of the holiday fires are started by candles so managing where you put candles relative to decorations is real important The majority of those fires occur in the
family room den or living room area so keep decorations away from heat sources and keep the Christmas
trees nice and wet and hopefully everyone will have a safe and happy holiday season
Mayor Furlong Excellent Thank you Chief Any questions for Chief Wolff this evening No Very
good thank you Chief Just prior to getting the law enforcement updates I bypassed visitor presentations so I ll start with visitor presentations this evening

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Joe Scott We don t have numbers in but from the people that we were tracking the American Express
part of it went quite well They re expecting to be up maybe 15 to 20 percent over last year because of
that particular program so I thought it was quite successful in ramping up for next year so thank you for asking
Mayor Furlong Well and thank you to Buy Chanhassen for co sponsoring the event this coming Saturday for the city park lighting so we appreciate your efforts there
Joe Scott Thank you very much
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Anyone else for visitor presentations this evening
Judy Anderson Yes My name is Judy Anderson 8584 Flamingo Drive Been a Chanhassen resident
for 20 years and since you re not taking information regarding the rezoning effort I have to express my frustration with the City s website We have been trying to gather information We ve been trying to
look at your meeting notes We ve been trying to look at all the documentation that s been put up on the City s website and it continually errors out I have yet to be able to get to the 214 page document that
went up last week so I believe that I don t know if anybody else in here has had problems with that but
it s a very it s a frustration and I m concerned that people are not getting the information they need
Mayor Furlong Okay Do we have any from staff any reason why you wouldn t be able Were
you through the project
Judy Anderson It doesn t I cannot get through I can get through maybe 10 pages and I get an error I
have to start all over I cannot download it without getting an error I mean I can provide you with the error messages if you need them but it s I think it s happening to quite a few people so we need to do
something about that
Mayor Furlong Absolutely This is the first I ve heard about it so I don t know if anyone in staff
received any comments or anything today
Todd Gerhardt That s the first I ve heard of it too and we ll look into it
Judy Anderson I don t know if it s the size of the documents but I m timing out I m getting an error that I can t download it or print it or I can t do anything with it so we ve tried to cut it up into chunks and
take 20 page chunks to pull it down Sometimes we re successful Sometimes we re not so I just want to get it on the record that we are having a problem getting the public information
Todd Gerhardt We ll look into it and try to figure out what happened because typically our planning
reports are fairly large so you know they should be
Judy Anderson Even meeting minutes are difficult It s just it s inconsistent and I don t know what the
problem is but I think it needs to get looked at
Todd Gerhardt Yeah the meeting minutes are verbatim so they re going to be fairly large too so we ll look into it and see what happened there
Judy Anderson Okay thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you for letting us know Anyone else on visitor presentations this evening
Okay thank you

WALMART REQUEST FOR CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PUD
APPROVAL FOR A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A 120 000 SQUARE FOOT WALMART STORE ON APPROXIMATELY 14 10 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 5 AND POWERS BOULEVARD 1000 PARK ROAD
APPLICANT WALMART C O KIMLEY HORN AND ASSOCIATES INC
Mayor Furlong I guess just to start out with to explain how we anticipate this item going this evening We re going to start out with a staff report which will be presented by Kate Aanenson our Director of
Community Development in Chanhassen as well as probably Paul Oehme who is our City Engineer and
others as appropriate Then we ll hear from the applicant or their representatives Likely to discuss any changes in their application that took place since the Planning Commission that occurred earlier this
evening I suspect that the council may have some questions for staff or the applicant or both and we ll
take those as well As I mentioned earlier during visitor presentations we re not anticipating taking any public comment this evening The public hearing did take place at our Planning Commission meeting on st November 1 Earlier this month Tonight s council packet did include verbatim minutes which the council has and by that I mean every word is recorded and taken down and typed out and so that was a
part of our council packet in preparation for tonight s meeting so all of us have had an opportunity to read
everybody s comments We also have received and I believe most of them went to the entire council but I know I ve received numerous emails and comments Some phone calls Conversations in the grocery
aisles and other places so I think there s while I personally and I don t know about other council
members haven t been able to respond to every email Know that they ve been received and each one
has been read as well Following staff and the applicant s presentations we ll bring the item back to council for comments and a motion and appropriate action so Councilwoman Ernst
Councilwoman Ernst Mayor due to the fact that I work for Target Corporation I ll be recusing myself
from this discussion
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you So with that let s start with a staff report Ms Aanenson good
evening
Kate Aanenson Good evening Thank you Mayor members of the City Council Again as you stated
mayor the developer s requesting a rezoning to permit a commercial development on land currently
guided for industrial office and community commercial use In conjunction with the request the applicant is requesting approval of a general concept PUD for 120 000 square foot Walmart Planned unit
developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop the site and the use of the PUD also allows for greater variety of uses and transfers within the site In exchange for that flexibility the development plan must
result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would be the case with any other
of the more standard zoning districts So with that I ll give you a little bit of background on kind of the
process I think mayor you tried to frame this up a little bit but again I want to go through the concepts I ve had quite a few phone calls and I want to make sure everybody understands the process again kind
of reiterating The intent of the concept plan is to get direction from the Planning Commission and the
City Council without incurring a lot of expense I think at the Planning Commission there was some concern about whether or not plans were detailed to the satisfaction of the residents but again this is a
concept plan and with that concept plan the Planning Commission does hold the public hearing and as you indicated the verbatim minutes from that meeting are included in the packet as well as revised plans
that were included We did include the traffic study and the parking study The petitions that were
handed out at the Planning Commission meeting Also the emails and any additional emails that were received prior to the this packet going out so and that s listed in the attachments if anybody has
questions on exactly what was included in that So again the updated staff report is what we ll be
reviewing here tonight The changes that were from that the applicant has put in the letter and that letter
8
25
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
is also attached in your packet and I m sure that they ll want to go through that and then also there was
an additional letter from IWCO direct the property owner So those are some of the attachments that are
in there Oh sorry and then just want to clarify again the Planning Commission did hold that hearing on st the November 1 So the site itself is located at the intersection of Highway 5 and Powers Boulevard
This site was the original Victory Envelope site and has been a vacant building located on this site The
elevation changes on this property significantly and you ll see that in the architecture Changing from Highway 5 the highest point down to the creek approximately 40 feet so there s a significant change in
elevation that impacts Again the site has been vacant for a number of years There currently is a building on there of 154 000 square feet that would include the mezzanine so again it s a 14 acre site
Natural resources This was an enhanced plan that was submitted after the Planning Commission which
shows the natural features on the site and this is one of the issues that the staff was concerned with in the Planning Commission recommendation and that s the fact of the natural features on the site The creek
that goes through it and the wetland So this is within the shoreland management district of Riley Creek
Also an impaired water and it flows through the western side of the property and Minnesota Rules Chapter 6120 describes how this property can be used Again because this is conceptual we don t have
all the information on that but in our opinion as I go through this you ll see that it meets the minimum setback standards There s not that enhanced that we were looking for So again for the water quality as
we talked about there are two tributaries The site is tributary to two surface waters that I included
Riley Purgatory Creek and Lake Susan so we talked about that The concern there again which we don t have enough information is the impact to that A storm water report a couple page report was included in
one of your attachments too and that was detailed in your staff report in a little bit more detail Again the
issue that we had at the Planning Commission so this picture here on this property here shows the site
boundaries and the existing trees so all the trees would be removed except for that which is in the wetland buffer area So because there is a wetland in there There is a wetland setback and then a
wetland buffer so the majority of this retaining wall is adjacent to at the minimum There are parts that are outside that minimum It s pretty much at the minimum it can be in order to accomplish the parking
that needs to be on the site Again that was one of our major concerns and the Planning Commission felt
the same way on that issue So the concern again with the wall there it s kind of fragmenting that natural feature by putting up that wall and what that would do to impact the natural function and the diversity of
the plant species within there Then the landscaping itself it meets the minimums There needs to be
some reshaping of the islands to meet the City standards and the like but it s at the very minimum as required for landscaping itself The landscaping up here is just outside that retaining wall and then the
rest of this is outside the perimeter which would be on the Highway 5 Oh I m sorry I wanted to talk
about something else on this site I m sorry So on this site one of the issues that we had and it s a little bit tough to see at this scale but one of the bigger issues that we had on this site which has been kind of a
point when we ve when the applicant has redrawn the parking to move this retaining wall That was really the biggest change from the Planning Commission on this report The retaining wall was moved
outside because originally the retaining wall was in the buffer area so it s moved outside but it s at the
minimum and in order to do that the parking configuration changed While the ratio of parking stalls
changed slightly the biggest change would be then the circulation or the number of parking stalls The point I want to address here is the loading and refuse areas So the trucks that are coming into the site are
coming around let s see if you can see this mouse here Coming around the building itself and the way
our city ordinance reads is that if there s a number of loading berths that they should the location be separated from the parking stalls itself If you look at other similar sized buildings in the city we have
there s not parking behind in conflict with the loading docks So access location and design Access each required spot should not interfere with the parking stalls itself If you see how the trucks come
around the building they re awfully tight to these stalls in and of itself and if any car is not completely in
the stall you re awfully close or touching that Even coming around the building so that s of great concern Again one of the deficiencies that we found is just the overall design of the loading
configuration not consistent or compliant with the city code and again that would include just the
encroachment of the truck aisles coming around Not just in the back area but also as they come around
9

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
trying to swing these movements to get back out onto the site The other issues we had and I did include
this in the attachments to was their parking study so based on this size square building of 120 000 528
parking stalls were needed to be provided So the applicant provided a parking study that believes that Walmart s belief that they only need 4 5 per 1 000 However their parking ratio recommended the study
did not accommodate snow storage or effective parking Because this is a retaining wall around the
perimeter of the site snow storage and the loss of some of those stalls when they re already at a diminished ratio was a concern And as an addition the biggest concern with the parking ratio was that
the city our city ordinance City of Chanhassen ordinance says you can use compact stalls but they should not be used in a situation where you have high turnover parking For example in an office park
you might be able to do that but when you have a turn over compact stalls are not recommended or
prohibited by the city code
Paul Oehme Thanks Ms Aanenson Mayor City Council members I ll just briefly talk about the
traffic impacts associated with the proposed development The applicant did complete a traffic impact study for the proposed development Staff has reviewed the report and has commented on the report and
that is also included in your packet City staff has also met with Carver County representatives and Minnesota Department of Transportation representatives on this proposed site to since some of the traffic
impacts do impact their associated infrastructure as well so Just like to talk about some of the impacts
first to Park Road which is on the south side of the on the proposed development This location here does show the access points of the development The proposal is for one full access and one half access
point which is a right in right out on the east side Staff does feel that this is a minimum amount of
access points for this size of facility Typically we ve looked at over 60 retail sites within the metro area
and most of the facilities of this nature this size retail do have you know more than 3 sometimes access points and access typically for delivery and service trucks are segregated from the shopping parking
facilities The parking stalls Under this case they are not separated so that is definitely a concern for us Since the Planning Commission meeting the applicant has moved the east access point which is shown
here another several feet to the west allowing for additional storage here That was one of our concerns
at the Planning Commission level And also has increased the stacking length of the turn lanes on the westbound or the west access point exiting point so and that s at a minimum length that was shown in
the traffic report I think the turning the stacking lengths of this turn lane these turn lanes are about 150
feet and that s what the minimum amount required that s shown in the staff report or in the traffic report The staff does still have some concerns with the traffic flow on park road For instance the since these
east and west access points are so close together there s a potential for some weaving or for conflicts for
shoppers exiting at the east access and shoppers trying to get into the west access point At this location also potentially since U turn movements turn around movements at Park Road here potentially could be
an issue since there s only one left turn lane out of the site to Powers Boulevard so this sort of movement is another concern for us as well Next Lock up There you go Start it over Okay so is that the next
slide Okay next slide Alright so moving on Yep next slide please There you go So meeting with
reviewing the traffic study and meeting with MnDOT and Carver County representatives the if the
proposal were to move forward there are several improvements necessary we feel on Trunk Highway 5 and Powers Boulevard that would are recommended to be made if this proposal moves forward For
example currently westbound 5 to southbound Powers Boulevard only has one left turn lane Under the
traffic impacts for this site is recommended that another left turn lane be installed on 5 in conjunction with the project Also northbound Powers Boulevard to westbound 5 currently there s only one left turn
lane there That another turn lane should be added along in conjunction with this project as well Also the length of these turn lanes we feel should be increased in size to facilitate stacking and to facilitate
conflicts for through movements on Powers Boulevard northbound so those improvements are necessary
we feel And then also signal timing would be necessary as well so Improvements to Powers Boulevard again Powers Boulevard
Mayor Furlong Looks like Park Road
10

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Paul Oehme Or I m sorry Park Road I m sorry Park Road Currently there is no median on Park
Road Under this development s proposal it s recommended that a center median be constructed This would is necessary so the east access point at the site you can t make that left hand turn movements onto
Powers Boulevard If that movement would occur it s felt that that there s just too many conflicts in that
access point It s too close to the intersection of Powers Boulevard and would just back up and create problems traffic problems at that intersection Also in conjunction with the improvements signal at
Power Road and Powers Boulevard is recommended for this proposal so And the proposal all these improvements associated with Park Road Powers and Trunk Highway 5 are currently not in the City s
CIP and are recommended to be paid through and by the developer if the project were to move forward
so With that staff did find some deficiencies in some of the traffic analysis that the developer did complete For example the traffic counts that were completed were taken in February which is not the
ideal time to take traffic counts since they are typically lower than the average summer usage Staff
figures there s probably about a 20 less traffic counts in their report than we would anticipate during the summer months but staff did take that in consideration with and talked with MnDOT and Carver County
and at this time we feel that the improvements associated with 5 Powers and Park can accommodate the improvements Can accommodate the traffic associated with the development so with that I ll turn it back
to you
Kate Aanenson Then finally just kind of review some of the architectural changes that were made
Again one of the challenges for the PUD is the enhanced architectural expectations There was some
changes made to it This is all four sides I ll just kind of quickly kind of go around some of them This
would be the front of the building with some benches added and some plantings Extension of the awning over the front The materials changing a little bit Again this another view of the front so this would be
coming in off of Park Road Again another view of the front
Councilman Laufenburger Excuse me Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Yes
Councilman Laufenburger Kate is this the revised picture
Kate Aanenson Yes these are slightly revised Yes
st Councilman Laufenburger So this is revised from the November 1
Kate Aanenson Yep minor changes yes Thank you for that clarification Again in this area here then
would be the tree planting and the benches and awnings over the front The top picture is actually looking
again the front from a distance and then the bottom picture would actually be driving eastbound on
Powers Boulevard looking at this was the issue we had before where there wasn t enough articulation There s still a transparency issue that s required when you have a site that s visible from Highway 5 with
the Highway 5 Overlay District so transparencies there was some additional articulation given but the
transparency part of it is still not met And then I think at the Planning Commission there was a pylon sign in the corner This was redesigned to be a monument sign at the corner here Again some additional
on those sides where you can see as required some breaks in those large expanses of buildings Some additional articulation was added Then again it s the transparency issue again so the requirements of the
standards of the PUD there s the 9 criteria and one of the criteria then would also be the architecture so
again the site planning and building architecture should reflect a higher design standard This doesn t exactly meet even the standards in and of itself but it s not of a higher quality and I think the issue that
was one of the issues the Planning Commission also went back to so the higher standard including the
transparent articulation is still not met So with that the Planning Commission at their meeting on
11
28
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
st November 1 voted 7 to 0 to recommend denial of the concept PUD based on the findings that the intent
and the specific standards of the PUD were not met So again the in some areas the City s expectation
that the development will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with other more standard zoning district as we pointed in the some of the areas where
they met their minimum or didn t meet the standards of the ordinance So with that mayor members of
the council then the proposed motion would be that the City direct the staff to prepare the Findings of Fact and Conclusions for denial of the concept PUD
Mayor Furlong Alright thank you Any questions from council for staff at this point Councilwoman
Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom Yes Kate I hope you ll forgive me I know that if I was talking to Paul about
roads he would be really happy so I m hoping that you re going to be happy about talking about planning
tonight I want to take us back in time to 2009 when this changed to CC and if you could refresh council s memory and maybe those in the audience too why we changed it and what our reasoning was
and what our intent was
Kate Aanenson Sure When we looked at the downtown itself the downtown area what we consider
kind of between entrance of 101 heading towards Powers Boulevard There wasn t a lot of available land left In looking at that to strengthen our core of the downtown we wanted to provide those neighborhood
kind of needs that we say kind of the business services that meet your daily needs We wanted to
increase the area for potential commercial development so actually we created a zoning district for this
we left it either It could be industrial or it could be a commercial and we created a new zoning district Community Commercial and we set standards in place for that
Councilwoman Tjornhom And how did we go about setting those standards for that
Kate Aanenson We spent a lot of time We brought in a consultant We spent some time talking about what we felt would be you know what would be a compliment to the downtown and kind of strengthen
the core and again looking at size and scale of what would be an appropriate use for the property
Councilwoman Tjornhom And so then can you tell me what those conclusions were from that study
Because I hate to be putting you on the spot or maybe I can talk to Paul about some roads while you think
about the answer
Kate Aanenson Well yeah in the community commercial zoning district actually I did make it one of the attachments in your packet if I can just go to that quick because I don t have it off the top of my head
The intent was to provide a medium sized to larger sized development but that no the minimum square
foot would be 15 000 square feet and that the maximum square foot for that use would be let me make
sure I m ready this 65 000 square feet Kind of looking at that providing additional space for that
Councilwoman Tjornhom And how did we come to the conclusion that 65 000 square feet was the
largest we wanted to go
Kate Aanenson Well we worked with a consultant We kind of went through an analysis of kind of looking at what the impacts would be to Powers Boulevard Kind of looking what would be in
downtown What would compliment that What would be I think we kind of did taste preferences and
some of those studies looking at that
12
29
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilwoman Tjornhom And I think from that study though we concluded that we were thinking that
with that size of establishment it would be a furniture store or it would be a sporting goods store is that
correct
Kate Aanenson Well I think we left that kind of like if
Councilwoman Tjornhom As an example
Kate Aanenson as examples right We didn t we just said that the total building area on any single
level would not be more than 65 000 square feet Assuming that if it was something else that it would be
stacked
Councilwoman Tjornhom And then with that 65 000 square feet if that was the max what was the
parking that was going to be allowed then
Kate Aanenson Well if it was retail it s all driven by the city ordinance as would this application would be so if it was straight retail then we use 5 per 1 000 If it s some other combination I mean it s still
industrial is still an appropriate use It could have came in as an office which has also been you know
kind of a compliment with some supporting commercial which we talked about too An office that might have embedded within it some commercial
Councilwoman Tjornhom And this is a question for anyone at staff that dares answer it I guess Since
2009 we changed this zoning how much interest have we had on this property as far as businesses or office industrial establishments coming in
Kate Aanenson Probably pretty little interest On this particular site you re talking about
Councilwoman Tjornhom Correct
Kate Aanenson Correct that s correct
Councilwoman Tjornhom And is this the is this the only site we have in town where we have this
instance of it being CC and 65 000 square feet
Kate Aanenson Yeah Yes well there s a couple other parcels with it that we guided CC It s not just
this piece
Councilwoman Tjornhom Right
Kate Aanenson Yep that s correct And again it was a unique new commercial zoning district Yep
Councilwoman Tjornhom Okay
Mayor Furlong Okay other questions for staff
Councilman Laufenburger I do Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Kate regarding the parking study that was done Walmart or Kimley Horn
did the parking study is that correct
13
30
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Councilman Laufenburger And that the results of their study seems to be significantly different than our
ordinance or at least looks like they re saying they have enough parking of the right type and according
to our ordinance we say they don t How long has our parking ordinance been in place
Kate Aanenson It s been in place with those ratios for quite a while I think the last change we made was we actually increased the stall width a number of years ago based on some overall dissatisfaction
Councilman Laufenburger Dings Doors Things like that
Kate Aanenson Some of the commercial developments in town so we made them a little bit wider and so
that s probably been the biggest change to the standard
Councilman Laufenburger Okay so clearly we have evidence that those parking restrictions and etc has been successful in the past
Kate Aanenson Yes and I would also add there s other instances where we do do shared parking but we demonstrate that and this was another instance where in this particular site there s nowhere else to share
except on a public street There s no overflow for some other as sometimes we have developments that
have cross access agreements Where they have a common driveway between properties but in this
circumstance there is nowhere else to go and our concern too was based on the number of compact stalls it was already compromised and then the fact that you ve got the retaining walls with the snow further
compromised that so we felt that was really didn t meet the standard
Councilman Laufenburger Okay thank you Kate Mr Oehme you referenced a traffic study Who was
that traffic study conducted by
Paul Oehme Kimley Horn and Associates completed it
Councilman Laufenburger Okay so Kimley Horn did that but you spoke about some changes to Powers
Boulevard Park Road Highway 5 Is there now agreement between the parties that the changes that
you ve identified on 5 Powers Park etc would those changes be adequate enough to satisfy even what you would describe as a 28 low parking study
Paul Oehme Based upon you know MnDOT s our conversation with MnDOT and Carver County s
analysis what they performed plus the City did hire SRF another consulting firm to review our findings
and our recommendations Based upon all those entities we feel that the improvements on Park Road
Powers Boulevard and Trunk Highway 5 that are being proposed would be adequate to handle the traffic
Councilman Laufenburger Okay And you said this before but just clarify for me You said that none of
the changes that would be necessary if this project moves forward none of them are in the CIP For our audience what s the CIP
Paul Oehme Yeah I m sorry The Capital Improvement Plan That s the annual capital infrastructure
plan that the City puts out annually and it looks out in the future 5 years to budget for and look at
potential projects as years come up so it s a budgetary and planning tool that the City uses
Councilman Laufenburger Okay so none of these none of these suggested changes that now after all the
parties are in agreement on none of them are part of the CIP for at least 5 years
14
31
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Paul Oehme None of them are part of the City s capital improvement plan or the County s capital
improvement plan or MnDOT s
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Alright thank you Mr Mayor That was my questions
Mayor Furlong Any other questions
Councilwoman Tjornhom I have
Councilman McDonald I ve got a few
Mayor Furlong Let s go to Mr McDonald first and then Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilman McDonald Okay I ll yield to Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom No you go ahead
Councilman McDonald Okay I guess I ve got you know a couple different areas I want to go to Ms Aanenson What we ll start with is the concept PUD I guess I m not familiar with that and all the time I
spent on the Planning Commission and everything this is the first time I ve seen this Why a concept
PUD
Kate Aanenson Well typically a concept PUD is to get as stated in the ordinance itself is to get some
general direction from the council whether or not you feel that the PUD is the appropriate That you re getting something for giving the flexible in zoning so the concept PUD instead of spending all the money
on the stormwater calculations engineering for the building that you would look at it in a generalized
concept to say whether or not that this merits those 9 findings that are in the PUD and whether or not they would merit giving it considering going to the next level which would mean going back to the Planning
Commission and back to the City Council for the project itself
Councilman McDonald Well one of the biggest criticisms I heard at the Planning Commission meeting
and through a lot of the emails I ve been receiving is the lack of detail that Walmart provided to us but
what it sounds like is you re not going to get a lot of detail with a concept PUD so why didn t we go straight to a PUD so we could get out that kind of detail
Kate Aanenson Well I think the question then is up to the applicant on whether or not they wanted to
pursue that route to gauge what again they re asking for the flexibility Are they getting the are they
providing that to you as opposed to the standard zoning district which they also could have pursued
Councilman McDonald Okay Who s idea was it to go with the concept PUD Was it the city staff or
was it the applicants
Kate Aanenson Yeah the city staff and the applicant both agreed to that process
Councilman McDonald Okay Now based upon what you would expect from a concept PUD which is
mainly just you know it s throwing something out there which is very vague and hoping to get some
comment back on it Would you say that Walmart provided what you would expect from a concept PUD
Kate Aanenson Yes
15
32
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman McDonald Okay And the other question I was kind of wondering about was when was the
City first approached by Walmart to actually put this in because I ve only known about it for a month
Kate Aanenson Well they didn t submit an application until sometime in October They were looking at
some traffic studies I think when they first approached us we had some concerns about whether or not it
would fit on the site
Councilman McDonald There was a letter in our packet that was dated in March which was correspondence going to the City Was that
Kate Aanenson That s the traffic study part of it
Councilman McDonald Okay So there was some activity back in March that Walmart was interested in
that site or at least in the city
Kate Aanenson Right But let me also say that when we meet with applicants we meet sometimes a year or two and they may never submit They give us information and you know lots of times that s
proprietary information They re just checking out the market Doing some market studies and they may
never come forward so I think in this circumstance just to see what the traffic study showed we are working through that Whether or not they choose to go forward after that is up to them
Councilman McDonald Okay And I know we ve had public hearings on all of this and we ve heard
definitely from the public What I m most you know I guess curious about is what input have we heard from the businesses And by that I mean the business council which would be like the Southwest Metro
Chamber of Commerce Buy Chanhassen local businesses and those types of things
Kate Aanenson They some of those did speak at the public hearing Some of those business owners in
town did speak at the public hearing
Councilman McDonald Okay but as far as Buy Chanhassen which represents most of the businesses in
town you haven t heard from them
Kate Aanenson Right I think again looking through the application as part of the normal process that
that we would proceed as we would with any other application
Councilman McDonald Okay So should this go forward that would be one of the things that you would expect to happen is that there would be input from the businesses at a more formal level as to the impact
Kate Aanenson Well I guess we were comparing it to whether or not it met the zoning ordinance The
PUD requirements
Councilman McDonald Okay How about have you heard anything from law enforcement or the fire
department Have they made any comments on these plans at this point
Kate Aanenson No But antidotally again at the Planning Commission we did discuss where the Target trade area is It s you know you go into Excelsior Waconia so that s the primary area that you d be
looking at People gave numbers that were from other states other regions I mean our police our
sheriff s office will tell you that it s the local area what our crime rate is here now would be continued to be the statistic that we would use
16
33
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman McDonald Okay but I guess what I m concerned about is you know one of the things I ve
received in all my emails is that there s a lot of concern about crime going up and I guess you know that
would be a question that we would need to ask the law enforcement is that their experience Is that what they would expect And then at that point what we can begin to look at is what s the impact upon our
city budget
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council members When you add retail to your core you re going to probably see
a similar amount of crime
Councilman McDonald Okay so this is something that we would normally plan for anyway
Todd Gerhardt Correct
Kate Aanenson Correct
Councilman McDonald Okay The other thing going back to was it 2008 2009
Councilwoman Tjornhom 2009
Councilman McDonald 2009 What got us going down this road was it was the McComb s study as I
recall Is that right
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Councilman McDonald And one of the results as I remember from that was that you know we had a large retail capacity within this area Am I remembering that correctly
Kate Aanenson A large trade area
Councilman McDonald Trade area okay Which would be conducive to bringing in certain businesses
and to improve the I guess the commercial aspects of the city
Kate Aanenson Well what the McComb s study looked at is two things We looked at where our trade
area was Kind of what s our neighborhood kind of that convenience area which we consider the downtown core which is you know your daily needs Your grocery stores Those sort of things Then
the potential for a larger regional draw
Councilman McDonald Okay
Kate Aanenson So I think part of the concern was or we wanted to make sure that we had opportunities to expand in the core so we weren t competing with a regional draw and keeping those trips that we have
downtown that are daily needs in the downtown core
Councilman McDonald Okay so as a result of this though we did kind of make a decision and that was
part of the rezoning was to enhance the downtown area and also the trade areas of bringing in businesses to the city
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Councilman McDonald Okay The other thing I m a little curious about too is we re saying that the
square footage on the site should be about 65 000 square feet yet the current building on there is 140 000
17
34
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
square feet and I recall a plan at one time of allowing someone to move into that building and take it over
I think that was the furniture concept that we had looked at
Kate Aanenson We haven t looked at any concept there Again they ve asked for the PUD to get
flexibility to relief from the requirements of any district so
Councilman McDonald Well I guess my point is though that if someone wanted to come in and if IWCO
could rent out the building to someone that would do retail we would be right back in this same predicament because if they wanted to keep the building and use that structure they ve already exceeded
the square footage that we would allow
Kate Aanenson But they still have to meet all the other city standards which would be parking If it was
retail at that standard they would have to meet that
Councilman McDonald Okay but at that point you re still dealing with an existing site though
Kate Aanenson But they would still if there s a change in use they would still have to meet all the other
parking standards that would apply We wouldn t issue a building permit for a change in use or obviously
there d have to be some remodeling to go to a retail and at that point we would
Councilman McDonald So then are we forcing a situation where the only person who can go in there on
that site would have to raze that building
Kate Aanenson No If they came in and used it as it is today as an office industrial use and it met the
standards that happens all the time in the city Where people go in Change out buildings and if they have enough of the the main criteria would probably be parking If they meet that
Councilman McDonald Okay so if it went back to one of the uses that we had for commercial business there probably would not be a problem
Kate Aanenson Again it would still have to meet all the standards I couldn t say unless I saw what the use was
Councilman McDonald Well I said probably You know it would probably come a lot closer to meeting the standards because it was existing and there had been a business in there at one time with both
manufacturing and office
Kate Aanenson Yeah are you talking about office industrial type use
Councilman McDonald Office industrial type yes
Kate Aanenson Yeah Again this building has a large share of warehouse Warehouse takes minimal
parking so office also does require a little bit higher level of parking so
Councilman McDonald Okay Mr Oehme I ve got some questions concerning traffic We talked a little bit about the infrastructure improvements and everything that would be required here which I guess
you know Walmart has agreed to and none of that is in our plan for 5 years and actually right now it s not
even in there for 6 years because we re not looking at making those improvements Is that correct
Paul Oehme That s correct
18
35
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman McDonald Okay And the thing I understand from all of this is that roughly we re looking
at a million and a half dollars as an estimate to do those improvements Is that a fair statement
Paul Oehme That s roughly the scope and size of it
Councilman McDonald Okay And with those improvements I believe you ve already stated that those begin to meet what you feel would be the minimal requirements for an establishment like this to come
into that particular site
Paul Oehme I believe it does and it also looks out into the future too
Councilman McDonald Okay because at that if we intend to develop that area of the city no matter
what we do we re looking at having to do some improvements to the infrastructure The roads turning
lanes and those types of things
Paul Oehme Absolutely and it all depends upon timing and staging and what development is being proposed
Councilman McDonald Okay And I guess you know I got a side question I m not sure you can answer this Maybe Ms Aanenson can but typically if you have those improvements already in place isn t it
much more conducive to bringing in development instead of having them to come in and build it from the
ground up I ll accept your opinion You don t have to base it upon anything
Kate Aanenson No I m just in a perfect world the improvements would be in place first but as we know
with development development often brings the required infrastructure improvements with it
Councilman McDonald Right and then from there more development generally will take place
Kate Aanenson That would be correct
Councilman McDonald Okay The other thing going back Mr Oehme on traffic You know one of my great concerns is definitely Park Avenue I believe What is our experience and I would point out to the
example of what they re looking at as far as a right out on that eastern entrance You d be able to go
down to where the barrier ends They would put up No U Turn signs so that people could not turn there but I kind of draw your attention to Galpin and CVS I believe we have the same situation there where we
have a median and we have No U Turn signs What s our experience with that
Paul Oehme Not good That s been a problem for the City and actually Galpin s Carver County so We
have had problems enforcing that in that location and also the No U Turn at Coulter too I think over at the
gas station there and too there s some problems associated with that
Councilman Laufenburger Century
Paul Oehme Century I m sorry Century yeah So those two examples are hold true here too I think
Councilman McDonald Okay so as part of going forward with this I mean that would be one of my
great concerns is definitely you know getting people in and out Is it possible to resolve that you think in
working with the applicant on getting something done Again that would be more of a detailed approach but if that were a restriction upon you know getting final approval do you see enough cooperation to be
able to resolve that
19
36
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Paul Oehme Well I think the applicant is willing to work with us They have been trying to address
some of our concerns even from Planning Commission stage to City Council stage here Unfortunately I
think this site is really tough to work with in terms of access I mean we only have access points on Park Road and for a size facility like this you like to see at least 2 maybe even 3 access points or roads
associated with access points around the facility so you know it s tough right now for me to envision a
better scenario than we have right now We can always go back to the drawing board and look for other solutions but right now I think this is the best plan that we can come up with We don t want to have
another access point off of Powers Boulevard The grades don t work there slip on lanes or anything like that And access off of 5 would not work at all either so just because of
Councilman McDonald Well I guess going back to one of our earlier premises in this is that we ve made the decision that we re going to develop this area We ve come up with a number of ideas of what it
could be No matter what we come up with we have to make improvements down there to make it work
Whether or not we put a restriction on it about size is not material at this point but in working with the applicant I guess what I m looking for you know in an ideal world you re right This probably isn t a
good site but we haven t identified any other sites within the city to be able to fit something such as this that would still benefit the core downtown area so we re kind of stuck with this and what I m getting here
is that while it s not the best site it is a feasible site Improvements have been made to make it a better
site There s probably additional improvements that do need to be made
Paul Oehme Correct and I think it comes back to what was originally in our comprehensive plan and
what we looked at back in 2009 A 65 000 square foot facility or there about s I mean I think that s the
size of facility that really works best for this site so
Councilman McDonald But then what I come back to is that that evidently is not working because nobody s coming forward to build a 65 000 square foot site If we want to develop down there aren t we
faced with a situation that we need to make this work and if what you re telling me is that it s possible
then we could deal with the other issues If it s not possible to again deal with traffic and make the site a viable retail space then we don t need to worry about whether it s 65 000 or 120 because it can t get past
the first hurdle of traffic
Kate Aanenson Well I think the traffic regarding Powers Boulevard and Highway 5 may be addressed
by the applicant I think the larger issue is about the functionality of the internal site and if it doesn t
function well then it s not going to do well We ve learned that from experience We ve also learned from experience that if it doesn t fit if we re creating something deficient then maybe we should wait for
something else to come along and something better just because in these times right now I think having deficient parking and poor internal circulation is a critical issue for a design We don t have anything else
like this where we have the loading berths in the back adjacent to parking and as the City Engineer
indicated I think we could resolve the Highway 5 and the Powers Boulevard issue It s this access point
here where it s very narrow off of Park Road and again because of the size of the building demanding that type of parking ratio and the access points requiring the circulation to be so tight coming around the
building it causes some functionality problems For internal circulation For pedestrians walking to the
site and for cars parking getting in and out of the site
Councilman McDonald So what I m hearing is that while we may be able to deal with the external problems you feel the biggest problem is going to be the internal traffic solving that problem
Kate Aanenson Correct
20
37
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman McDonald Okay and I guess the question I would have at that point to you then would be
that based upon your experience of working with the applicant do you think this is a solvable problem or
do you think this is an insolvable problem
Kate Aanenson I ll let the applicant answer that question
Councilman McDonald Well I m looking for your opinion too because a lot of what I vote on is going to
be based upon what you tell me
Kate Aanenson We pointed out the deficiencies It s at the minimum for a PUD and the PUD says you
know they could have gone with a different zoning district They asked for the PUD the flexibility and the staff s position based on that criteria they re at the minimum We re not getting that higher and better
and again for the internal circulation and the like I just don t think that s a good way to go Long term
wise for the city
Councilman McDonald But again those are deficiencies and what we would expect of a PUD is what you just outlined Something a little bit better that addresses all these issues or the PUD is not going to
fly Okay
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council staff is recommending denial based on our findings in the report so just
want that into the record
Councilman McDonald That was on the screen too
Kate Aanenson Yeah
Councilman McDonald So I think it s very clear what staff is recommending What I m trying to get at
is how did you arrive at that and how do I make a decision whether I vote yea or nay on this and what am I voting for I mean again I appreciate the input of staff but I do not vote based upon what staff tells me
so we need to get that on the record also I will use that for my input but I will make an independent
decision on whether this is going forward or not so just so everybody knows where I m coming from on this I guess I guess that pretty much covers all the questions I have concerning the site I would have
similar questions for the applicant whenever they come up also
Mayor Furlong Alright thank you Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom Are you done Councilman McDonald
Councilman McDonald For right now
Councilwoman Tjornhom Okay Councilman McDonald really I think is focusing on the planning part
of this whole issue and for me it s more of a philosophical debate and whether or not you know what
direction we want to go with this as far as if it s a right fit for our town If it s the right direction we want to go and part of my experience I can t say I do very well up here all the time and I ve learned a lot I
have but one thing I ve learned is that when Paul puts in a road he has a public hearing and we meet with the public and before we get to this point and so there could be 2 or 3 public meetings when it comes to
something being proposed and this probably isn t a question for you Maybe it s for the applicant but
why wasn t there ever a public hearing or was there and what is your take on what happened with that
Kate Aanenson Sure Well a neighborhood hearing we sometimes do if it s a development that s
coming in asking for a different request I think again the comments that we ve got we re trying to keep
21
38
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
them related to the site plan itself and if the applicant wanted to meet with the neighbors to try to resolve
a design We haven t we do that in residential particularly I don t think we ve done it that much in the
commercial development I can t think of an industrial park
Councilwoman Tjornhom Well and you know when it comes to a road we re proposing to change the
road and so I guess when it comes to this they re proposing to change something and so I guess I just feel that things go a lot smoother when the most information possible is obtained by those who are
participating in the process and so I just I wasn t sure who was responsible for making sure that happened The applicant or City of Chanhassen
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council Staff did not keep the applicant from meeting with the residents or neighbors or businesses You know it s always up to the applicant We do not have a requirement where
the applicant has to meet with neighbors or businesses Sometimes they will do it on their own but we do
not have a requirement Our only requirement was to hold the public hearing at the Planning Commission level Sometimes we will suggest it but it s really up to the applicant s discretion
Mayor Furlong Okay Anything else on this Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Yes Mr Mayor I think that Councilwoman Tjornhom raises a good point and that is that I would assume that any applicant Walmart or whoever might want to come into town
would do some sort of evaluation of the impact that they would have on the community and I recall that
one of the representatives from Walmart mentioned that I think it was Lisa who said that she actually
went to some of our retail outlets and talked with some of those citizens so there must have been some input there Now that might have been farther down the planning process I want to go back to the
property Kate How give us a history on this property When was it active and when was it used for commerce and when did it stop being used for commerce
Kate Aanenson It s been vacant for a number of years Again it was part of the Victory Envelope Part of a trio of buildings that were put together
Councilman Laufenburger Originally built in what timeframe do you know
Kate Aanenson 86
Councilman Laufenburger Okay built in 86 and how long has it been vacant do you think From my
records the owners of IWCO might be able to say I have it vacant for several years yeah And they ve leased it Used it for storage Had some leasing of the site
Todd Gerhardt Mayor
Councilman Laufenburger So Oh go ahead
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council Teleplan moved out approximately 6 years ago and since that time Instant Web Companies has a lease arrangement with iStar who is the LLC that owns the property and so
and Instant Web Companies has used this for basically storage and warehouse storage and it has not been used for manufacturing or office for the past 6 years
Councilman Laufenburger So iStar owns the property
Todd Gerhardt Correct
22
39
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman Laufenburger So the responsibility of finding a tenant for iStar or excuse me for the
building is really iStar s responsibility isn t it
Todd Gerhardt A tenant or future owner
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Was iStar made aware of the fact that we zoned it for commercial community commercial
Kate Aanenson Yes I believe so
Councilman Laufenburger And the time when 6 years ago when it was vacant for the 3 years up til 2009 or so when we zoned it community commercial it was zoned industrial right
Kate Aanenson Yes
Councilman Laufenburger Did we have a lot of people coming by the City and say can we look at that building
Kate Aanenson No but as a general yeah No we haven t
Councilman Laufenburger Would that be a normal practice or would they would they come to the City
or would they go to the owner
Kate Aanenson It can come a lot of different ways
Councilman Laufenburger Alright That was my last one Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Thank you I just want to follow up a number of my questions have been responded to with the other questions from the council but Ms Aanenson with regard to the parking ratios that we have
and Mr Oehme with regard to the traffic studies it s my sense that the ratio I think you mentioned
what s the ratio for commercial parking Ms Aanenson
Kate Aanenson 5 per 1 000
Mayor Furlong 5 spots per 1 000
Kate Aanenson Square feet correct
Mayor Furlong And what is that ratio based upon I assume it wasn t arbitrary
Kate Aanenson No it s it s pretty much standard uses There s the International Traffic Manual
There s all types of standards that you can get from the American Planning Association and those sort of
things so it s a pretty standard number
Mayor Furlong Okay but since it s a per 1 000 square feet of commercial space then it obviously scales based upon the scale of the facility as well
Kate Aanenson Correct
Mayor Furlong The commercial facility
23
40
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Kate Aanenson Correct
Mayor Furlong And my sense is that that ratio of parking spaces per 1 000 square feet also varies by type of use of a building
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Mayor Furlong So whether it s commercial it might be one ratio the 5 per 1 000
Kate Aanenson Correct
Mayor Furlong Office industrial could be something else
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Mayor Furlong Or it is something else
Kate Aanenson It is Yes They re all different
Mayor Furlong Okay and so depending on how that the use of the facility varies depending upon the
number of spaces
Kate Aanenson Right
Mayor Furlong Commercial people are going to be coming and going on a regular basis Customers Office industrial
Kate Aanenson That s correct
Mayor Furlong More people coming in the morning and leaving
Kate Aanenson Or warehouse storage which is the least amount of parking where it s mostly storage
correct
Mayor Furlong And I think the natural progression then Mr Oehme is that the traffic volumes flow vary
too based upon the use and based upon the size of the facility from a particular property
Paul Oehme Yeah absolutely
Mayor Furlong Okay alright Okay thank you Any other questions for staff at this time If not then I would invite representatives from the applicant Walmart or their representatives to come forward Good
evening
Lisa Nelson Good evening Good evening Can everyone hear me okay Good My name is Lisa
Nelson and I m with Walmart Public Affairs and I am here with our team tonight to present our new and improved plan for the store I m here with all of our folks here pretty much in the first and second row
All of them from Minnesota except myself I m just over the river from Wisconsin Most of you have
seen the Planning Commission meeting or gone through the minutes or the transcript so you know what we said about our corporation at that meeting so I won t go through all that again If you have questions
about specifics with jobs wages benefits health care that kind of thing we d be happy to answer those
questions but we were able to get a lot of really good information and feedback from citizens and
24
41
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Planning Commission members and staff as well at that meeting to revise our plan to make it much better
To make it meet your code and exceed your ordinances and your codes and to really put forward a plan
that we think can really improve the area and can be really great for Chanhassen We do know that your approval tonight is conceptual in nature It is not a final approval It s a concept plan and it s about the
big picture and that s really what we were looking to do at the Planning Commission meeting and we
have spent a lot of resources to get to where we are tonight because that s what we were asked and that s what we ve delivered tonight We ve got a little bit beyond I think what you might require for a concept
planned unit development but we don t mind doing that because we want to make sure that this proposal is the best that it can be We know that the details will still need your approval That being said there are
two areas that present the biggest challenges to the development of that parcel Whether we do it or not
under your current plan and that is the building size and the parking as I think you re talking about here We feel that parking in the current plan is sufficient for the use that we re proposing and we also feel that
the building footprint is sized appropriately for this market or trade area if you will If these are areas
where you offer no flexibility then we would need to know that because that s our plan This is the building size really is where we need to be and the PUD allows the flexibility for those two issues For us
or any other applicant and in terms of the site functionality we have done this before and we would not propose a site or a store plan that would not allow us to function safely for our associates and our
customers and for our fleet so we know we can execute this plan successfully and in a very very safe
way We are seeking to serve our customers in the Chanhassen area either here or somewhere in the region We know through leakage at the store that this can be a really successful project Whether it s
here Where it s nearby we are looking to serve our customers here That s our goal That s our goal
with this proposal and that s our goal in looking at this market It s a really great site and while the
parameters of your current plan present a challenge to us and to you and to any other applicant we re here because we believe that you have the vision to see what s possible and the many benefits that a
Walmart development can bring to your community So with that I m going to introduce our Land Use Attorney Sue Steinwall who s going to introduce the rest of our team so we can go through any of the
details and answer any of your questions And again I apologize I didn t go through the whole corporate
spiel If you do have questions though we are here and we will answer any of your questions Sue
Sue Steinwall Mr Mayor members of the City Council my name is Sue Steinwall and I am a land use
attorney and I m at the firm of Fredrikson and Byron in Minneapolis We ve represented Walmart I d say probably about 10 years now on various projects in Minnesota and in Wisconsin It s my pleasure to be
here this evening and the good news that I have for you is that even though I am a lawyer I promise to be
quick about my remarks here I m with our architect Jackie Cook Haxby with SAIC who s going to answer your questions and point out how this Walmart that we re proposing is going to be a very
attractive building And also I have our engineers from Kimley Horn Associates Will Matzek and Andrew Payne and the back up row from Kimley Horn as well in case there are specific questions Much
of what I was going to say actually has been covered through the Q and A between staff and council Our
request is for approval of a concept plan A concept PUD Many of the details have yet to be spelled out
Stormwater traffic Many of them have been and we ve been working on this site for quite some time but our request would be that the concept that we you know receive the guidance and the reviews and the
comments from the City as we were expecting from concept PUD approval and that then we move on for
our final planning process So it s a two step process Then the second step basically gives the City the second bite of the apple as it were Certainly we can certainly we can you know to answer one
suggestion You know a neighbor you know we can do a neighborhood meeting and we certainly have done that before in other communities so during stage 2 we could certainly do you know meet with the
community and provide an opportunity to get more input We were able to revise our plans based on
much of the input that we received in early November Finally to comment a bit on the kind of the exchange that is expected in a PUD We are certainly asking for flexibility from certain zoning standards
including the size of the building and parking as Lisa mentioned In exchange the building is going to be
the most attractive Walmart in the state of Minnesota We are our client is has agreed to pay for the
25
42
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
offsite traffic improvements that were detailed earlier And I think you know I guess the other thing that I
wanted to mention I guess this is the appropriate time to put this before you but as Lisa mentioned we
wouldn t be here if we didn t know that there are a lot of folks in the Chanhassen trade area already shopping at Walmart and that this is an area that we would like to serve Certainly there s an increase to
your tax base but our statistics show that the Eden Prairie store does a land use business with folks from
the Chanhassen trade area driving all the way over to Eden Prairie The statistics that I have is it s about 10 million dollars a year just in Chanhassen residents alone but they re spending it in Eden Prairie so
we think that your city as well as other merchants would like to keep the traffic here and keep the dollars in your city I m going to ask Jackie Cook Haxby to walk you through our architectural plan next and
then following that Will Matzek will answer your questions and also talk about the revisions to the
concept plan that we ve made to date but certainly it s an ongoing process Thanks very much
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you
Jackie Cook Haxby Mayor council Jackie Cook Haxby with SAIC which is based in St Paul I
however live 1 1 miles from this building right here Right around the corner so this is my shopping area and I am very proud to present this Walmart I would be shopping at this Walmart I do not shop at the
Eden Prairie one because I don t like the traffic over in that area so This is a Walmart like we have not
built here in Minnesota I can tell you that because we built a lot of them here in Minnesota both in the last 8 years This store has significant upgrades to it Some of them are the glass windows along the
front The normal Walmart store does not have the amount of glass that this store does It would have the
glass entry and a little bit of transparency on either side of the entrance There would be no other attempt
at transparency because that is not part of how Walmart does it business The majority of the Walmart floor is around the perimeter is a stock room or a freezer cooler area and your code Section 20 1068
allows that if that is the case we can take other alternatives to satisfy the architectural requirement for upgrades which we have done by adding canopies that resemble those along the front of the store I
would argue that the architecture of the store is very similar and picks up concepts from not only the City
Hall the library but some of the newer retail you find along Highway 5 Some of the retail that is west of the Target building At the time that the Target building was built I was actually a project architect for
Target Corporation so the lady in the next cube to me built that but we have added the extended canopy
across the front We ve added several or two large planting areas across the front We have added on the right side which would be facing Highway 5 as you re going west we have added a non transparent
window area That would be spandrel glass and by the way some of the glass on the front of the store is
also spandrel because of the fact that a lot of it is a storage area or a cooler freezer area where you d be looking at the backs of coolers and freezers and stock racks We have not added that on the north side
nor have we made any attempt on the north side to add transparency It is partially a LEED sustainability type issue That s facing north We re in the north It s not a good actually my house doesn t even have
windows on the north side of it to conserve the energy And this is a very LEED efficient or a sustainable
type store so we have a number of those features within it The white roof to defeat the heat island effect
We have a number of skylights on the roof that are interlocked with the lights inside the building so that when the sun is very bright outside the lights the light use inside the store is almost non existent except
for the non sales areas where they don t have the skylights Then when the dark comes on then the lights
come back up very slowly so you really don t notice the transition We take the heat that comes off of the refrigeration equipment and that s used to heat the hot water in the store All of the toilets and water
fixtures are low flow There are any number of sustainability items within the store and we do our best to make the walls the highest R value that we possibly can as well as the roof to comply with those types of
initiatives So all in all we ve removed the EIFS from the back of the store That is not the TRESPA
panels that are on the front of the store which is a high finish very expensive product that we use for the back of our signs We have eliminated any integral colored split faced block on the store and it is now all
a brick type product We have added awnings plyasters Changed colors In short it is probably the best
looking Walmart in the state of Minnesota It is nowhere near a prototype We have far exceeded what
26
43
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
your code calls for We have far exceeded what Walmart normally would build and frankly I had to send
a guy over to argue it with Walmart central in order to get this approved which is a very lengthy process
too so we believe that we have met and exceeded all of the conditions that were set for in the initial plan review letter And with that being said if you have any questions or questions afterward yeah Will
Matzek will take over the civil issues
Mayor Furlong Thank you Do you want that on the overhead If you d set it or either way Or just set
it right over the picture by the microphone there
Will Matzek Sure we can just start with that I guess
Mayor Furlong Ms Hokkanen could you move the microphone so it s not over the I don t know if we
can get the overhead on that Nann
Kate Aanenson Yep I got it
Will Matzek Will Matzek
Mayor Furlong Good evening
Will Matzek I appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight As far as the site plan goes that we have done
a number of improvements to the site plan since we were here before Planning Commission and a great
deal of those improvements have been to really focus on conserving the wetland and natural area on the western portion of this site as well as improve pedestrian connectivity and site access In getting into a
few of those items you ll notice that we did improve pedestrian connectivity on this plan We ve added a walk connection and stairs connection on the east side on Powers Boulevard certainly to allow for a very
good access for pedestrians in that location as well as a main walkway through the center of the store or
through the center of the parking area that will then also connect out to the intersection at Park and Powers Boulevard where we re proposing a signal with good pedestrian access to improve that area
We ve also improved our setbacks throughout the entire site We now exceed ordinances in the front yard
of the parking field We re at 35 feet or greater as opposed to the requirement of 25 feet and then we meet or exceed around the entire periphery of the site as well and you ll notice that we have a great deal
of trees throughout this site plan both in the interior parking field as well as the perimeter City
ordinances require around 80 trees to be planted on a site of this size and we re proposing 180 trees increasing the canopy on this site from existing conditions at 14 approximately all the way up to 39
based upon the calculations outlined and how you perform those and the city ordinances And we ve also certainly concentrated on stormwater as well We ve added a rain garden type features and a couple of
the parking islands as well as at the front of the site to treat stormwater in those locations on the surface as
well as will be providing treatment underground which is not outlined on the plan here Just for clarify
purposes We ve certainly heard much discussion from a parking scenario on the site We do acknowledge that and with this site plan are not able to meet the 5 0 ratio We have a 4 5 at this site
We ve performed a parking analysis for this site based upon other Walmart s in the area and based upon
that we ve determined that really a 4 5 will operate sufficiently and well at this site even on a Black Friday busiest shopping day condition and I know there was some discussion about snow storage
concerns of that nature We do have we had mentioned you know the green areas that can be used for snow storage but also you know Walmart is more than willing to haul snow off of the site if when you
get a large snow event that is very common in the retail world Particularly in metro areas That s done
in many many sites and Walmart is more than willing to do that sort of scenario to ensure that there is sufficient parking at this site No one wants to make sure that there s enough parking at this site more
than Walmart because that would certainly hurt their bottom line As far as the compact stalls I know
there was some discussion as far as what we are providing versus that it should in low turnover areas We
27
44
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
are proposing compact stalls for this site However they are for associate parking stalls so those folks
who would park in the compact stalls will actually be working at the store so they re not the true
customers coming in and out so Walmart and we feel very comfortable that these compact stalls can work for them at this site and it does function From a stormwater perspective as I mentioned we have
added the rain gardens We re treating stormwater underneath the site as well in chambers This is very
common as well We ve done many of these types of stormwater treatment systems and these systems with that we ll be incorporating It actually exceeds city ordinances I know in the staff report it was
outlined that infiltration would be desired to actually infiltrate the stormwater into the ground If that was a good use we would certainly agree and implement that However in this case we have very clay soils
which do not infiltrate stormwater well and it s a hydrologic Class D so what we are doing is to the extent
that is practical for this site in accordance with the city ordinances as well as the MPCA requirements and in fact we re actually exceeding the stormwater treatment for the site Existing today there s over 5
acres of impervious surfaces on this site with have no treatment at all and so the addition of the treatment
system on this site will certainly be an improvement to the conditions With the natural resources switch the graphic here We have certainly been very sensitive to the wetland on the the natural area on the
western portion of this site in this area here We have as I mentioned with our site improvements we ve actually stayed out of those areas and exceeded the city requirements Walmart is sensitive to that natural
area We would actually are more than happy to provide a conservation easement in that area which
certainly will protect those natural resources and is I think certainly a great benefit to the city as well as the watershed in that vicinity Additionally much of the upland vegetation that is referenced currently
today is actually invasive species as part of this development We would remove these invasive species
on the upland area adjacent to the site and restore them with native species and you can also see just from
the this aerial overlay that this location here is very very similar to what s out there today from an existing pavement area so we feel that we ve really done a great deal to conserve those natural resources
in the area and in fact be improving them with many of the items that we re proposing From a traffic scenario I do understand that truck access is certainly important Staff has gone through and discussed a
number of concerns related to that Walmart of course wants a site that functions for them They do want
a site that can get ingress and egress with their trucks and certainly for their customers and so we have designed a site that we have modeled in Autoturn which is a modeling program The trucks certainly do
are able to traverse the site and not impede upon the customer s stalls and so trucks would enter the site
here Traverse the site and go back out This is very similar to many other retail sites I think every retail site is a little bit different and so some certainly have more accesses Some have less I can show a few
other examples just in the metro area that show that this type of scenario does function for other retailers
For instance in Bloomington there s a Home Depot with one access As you can see in the outline in red this is how the trucks work and there s also a Sam s Club nearby There s also just one access with that
at that location Eden Prairie a similar scenario to what we have as well with a Costco larger use Much like the Sam s Club and Home Depot are larger than what we re proposing here as part of this
development You can see in red that it is very similar Target here in Vadnais Heights Also very
similar type scenario and there are other ones as well throughout the metro and around the country but
these are just a few of the examples I wanted to show These retailers feel comfortable with this scenario and once again we acknowledge that you know every site is different and so this site has some challenges
We ve designed it to a point where we feel very comfortable with the access that we have both internally
and externally And from a traffic standpoint as well I know there s discussion about that That Walmart is willing to fund these traffic improvements for the off sites around this site on Highway 5
Powers and Park The overall traffic scenario for these improvements Walmart s really only responsible for about 25 of that traffic and so in the future as Chanhassen continues to grow out to 2030 these
improvements that are proposed as part of the project will help Chanhassen grow for the future The
improvements will be in place and will really make a difference I think as far as handling those types of improvements that would be required whether Walmart develops here or really anybody else If there s
any other questions I d be happy to answer them Otherwise if you have questions for others on the team
feel free to

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Mayor Furlong You ready for questions now Okay Alright That s fine Any questions for the
applicant Mr McDonald
Councilman McDonald Well Mr Laufenburger wants to
Mayor Furlong I happened to be looking your way when I saw the hand go up so
Councilman McDonald Okay first question I ve got concerns the PDU Who s best suited to answer
that
Mayor Furlong PUD
Councilman McDonald PUD
Sue Steinwall I guess I m Miss PUD
Councilman McDonald Okay what I d like to know is as I had stated you know this idea of a concept
PUD is I just don t see them that much and I ve been doing this for a while Why did you choose to go that way instead of a PUD and what I m looking for is that most applicants that come in on a PUD we
give them a lot of advice before it ever goes to the Planning Commission as far as what s going to be
required What it s going to take to probably pass it so a lot of things can get ironed out before it even
makes it to the Planning Commission And then before it gets to the council it gets ironed out even more You ve got you know fewer things to take care of What you re putting us through here is by the time
we get done you re going to have a PUD because I think to satisfy everybody you re going to have to answer a lot of detailed questions so I m wondering why did you start with a concept PUD and we re
going to wind up you know getting pretty close to what I would consider a PUD
Sue Steinwall That s a fair question Councilman McDonald As Ms Aanenson said it was you know it
was a mutual agreement I ve done quite a few of these projects and not every city has the two step
process Our I have a cough drop I m sorry
Councilman McDonald That s okay
Sue Steinwall As an attorney for a client that is frequently you know go go Let s get this done The
concept of doing the concept PUD was not particularly well received by my client but after a lot of back and forth s with staff we accepted the recommendation that staff gave us and proceeded under you know
proceeded with the concept We thought we d get good feedback and then we would proceed to step two
Councilman McDonald Okay and I take it by what I ve seen here that you are willing to go that extra step and really get us toward what we would consider more of a final plan even though we re not there
yet but
Sue Steinwall Yep I mean absolutely I mean we ve done quite a bit in the last month between Planning
Commission and this meeting tonight and with back and forth and feedback from the City and with staff and further feedback from the community you know that s the way we like to develop our stores is with
you know in a dialogue situation so yes Yes to answer your question
Councilman McDonald Okay By the way I use the old cough drop trick myself That kind of helps you
in court to keep your mouth going whenever
29
46
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Sue Steinwall It was getting pretty cottony
Councilman McDonald so don t worry I perfectly understand Now in the latest improvements what I read in there is that you re willing to do an infrastructure improvements However there s no
dollars put on that We have an estimate of about 1 5 million Are you you know in a position to say
yes That s what Walmart would sign up for
Sue Steinwall I think what Walmart would sign up for is those list of 6 improvements
Councilman McDonald Okay
Sue Steinwall And if it costs 1 5 so be it If it costs less than 1 5 all the better
Councilman McDonald Okay all the better And as part of doing anything if we were to come up with some other things to help improve stuff you would evaluate that and probably be in favor of again
improving the traffic flow you know if you agree with you know things we come up with I m not asking for a commitment Just you know as a general concept
Sue Steinwall Yeah I certainly can t say you bet whatever you want but
Councilman McDonald No well I m not asking for a blanket order And I guess the other question I ve
got I m not sure if you can answer this or if it s somebody else but let s talk about the 4 5 versus the 5
parking spots per 1 000 feet And Ms Aanenson can correct me if I m wrong but my understanding was you could have met that with the first plan where the retaining wall and everything was pushed out a little
bit is that true
Sue Steinwall I believe that s not true
Councilman McDonald Okay
Kate Aanenson That s correct It never met the parking standards
Councilman McDonald It never met the parking standards
Sue Steinwall We were always at 4 5 correct
Councilman McDonald Okay And the other question I guess I would have because again you know
Walmart s a very savvy company from the consumer standpoint and you know knows how to I think
address consumer needs Why didn t you approach the City and again hold some meetings I mean this
is not the first city where you ve had a problem with yeah anti Walmart I know in St Paul when the store went up there there was a lot of problems The one on University
Sue Steinwall Oh I worked on that one That was an old K Mart and
Councilman McDonald Right
Sue Steinwall Right
Councilman McDonald But what I mean is that within the community there are sometimes a problems
you have to overcome I would think that that would have been on your radar Why didn t you set
something up Did someone tell you not to Was it you know advice that you don t have to worry about
30
47
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
it I m just curious as to because that s something standard that a lot of people do and I advise a lot of
people when they come in here you ve got to sell the town first and then come and try to sell City
Council and the Planning Commission
Sue Steinwall Well hindsight s always 20 20 and I think that the you know we were aware coming in
that we had a lot of folks from Chanhassen shopping at Walmart already so I think that we were I know I was surprised by the turnout that we had at Planning Commission We got here late We didn t have a
place to sit so we were all surprised by the community interest in this particular project If we had to do it all over again would we have done things differently Yes for sure but and a neighborhood meeting
would have been a great idea but it was you know it was our decision and we you know chose to move
forward based on what we based I would you know based primarily on the shopping statistics that we had in our pocket
Councilman McDonald Okay well I take hindsight being 20 20 and lessons that you ve learned going forward before we ever got to any kind of a final plan you would hold neighborhood meetings and be
receptive to at least
Sue Steinwall Yes we can commit to that
Councilman McDonald Okay I guess at this point Mr Mayor that s all the questions I currently have
Mayor Furlong Okay Other questions Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger I do Ms Steinwall I appreciate the straight forward way in which you
answered the questions so I ll make these easy You have how many discount stores in Minnesota
Sue Steinwall Oh that s not easy for me Lisa
Councilman Laufenburger 43 is that right
Lisa Nelson Yeah 49 supercenters 13 discount stores and 13 Sam s Clubs
Mayor Furlong If you could come up and speak to the microphone That way people at home can hear
as well I m sorry Thank you Ms Nelson
Lisa Nelson Okay we have 49 supercenters We have 13 stores and we have 13 Sam s Clubs
Councilman Laufenburger Okay how would characterize Eden Prairie Is that a store or a supercenter
Lisa Nelson Eden Prairie would be called a supercenter yes
Mayor Furlong Let me also ask you to move to the podium We have a camera I don t know if we can
pick it up the view there so that s just for showing documents on the table thank you
Councilman Laufenburger So Eden Prairie would be a supercenter How would you describe the Chanhassen facility Supercenter or discount store
Lisa Nelson We re trying to get away from the vernacular of the word supercenter All of our stores are Walmart stores so eventually we hope that all of our stores will have a full offering of what you would
find in a Walmart store which would be grocery pharmacy and general merchandise
31
48
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Can you explain this term leakage a little bit more When I think of
leakage my retail background leakage is when things leave the store and they shouldn t be
Lisa Nelson That s shrinkage
Councilman Laufenburger Oh shrinkage excuse me
Lisa Nelson I got ya
Councilman Laufenburger Okay so what s leakage Lisa
Lisa Nelson Leakage is a community number that shows how many dollars are leaving your community
to go to another community and being spent there So about 70 of our transactions at Walmart are used
in the form of payment with a 5 digit zipcode on them
Councilman Laufenburger Credit card check
Lisa Nelson Yep Credit card or check about 70 So it s more or less depending on the area and then
we can see at each store we can do a printout where the dollars are coming from so that s where that number comes from That leakage number
Councilman Laufenburger So I believe Ms Steinwall said 10 million dollars in sales annually at the
Eden Prairie store are being spent by people who register with a zipcode in Chanhassen is that correct
Lisa Nelson That is correct
Councilman Laufenburger Here s your perfect opportunity to fudge on that if you want Lisa
Lisa Nelson No no no I m not going to fudge the number That number came from our attorney for a
reason but that is mainly proprietary information Those sales
Councilman Laufenburger Okay I won t share it with anybody
Lisa Nelson But we know customers are leaving Chanhassen to go to Eden Prairie They re leaving to go to even Shakopee so and that s a valuable number for you to just know how many dollars we re
capturing of your market anyway and if those dollars could be spent here those folks would not be contributing to the traffic problem on 5 They wouldn t be using fuels They would be supposedly right
saving money in their community and putting it back into their local economy and that s what we re
hoping to do
Councilman Laufenburger Well you opened the door for us to ask questions about Walmart so I ve
heard this phrase twice Keeping dollars in the city How do you keep the dollars in the city You just
explained keep those dollars being spent here But if they re spent at Walmart how do we keep them in the city
Lisa Nelson Well thank you for asking that question That gives me the opportunity to talk about some
of the benefits of having a Walmart in your community When of course when we build a store we re
going to create jobs and a lot of the folks that are going to work at that store are going to come from here and we re looking
Audience No
32
49
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Mayor Furlong Please let s
Lisa Nelson In our efforts to hire folks in our efforts to hire folks we can certainly make an effort to
target folks from this area by using local chambers Local job centers that kind of thing but there ll be
250 to 300 associates that work at this store So they of course will be earning money that will be put back into the economy We ll be paying property taxes We ll be collecting sales taxes on behalf of the
State of Minnesota which will be distributed again in state aides back to your community hopefully and then of course
Councilman Laufenburger We don t count on that but please continue
Lisa Nelson No I wouldn t either I wouldn t either if I were you And then also we re helping your
customers save money so when your local family can save dollars at a Walmart store and there is a study by Global Insight which is a company that looks at the grocery basket It looks how much the average
family of 4 can save on groceries We show that we can save a family of 4 2 500 a year by just the general basket of needs that every family would have Toilet paper Basic food that kind of thing So if
every family can spend that much and it might be more here we don t know but that family will have
more money to spend back in the local economy Going out to eat Going to the Dinner Theater
Councilman Laufenburger Okay The statement was made that you ve built 8 Walmarts in Minnesota in
the last few years did I hear correctly
Jackie Cook Haxby No I ve worked on Walmarts for 8 years
Councilman Laufenburger Oh How many new stores Walmart stores have been built in Minnesota in
the last 5 years
Lisa Nelson Well I d have to check but we do have several active projects right now We have
Brooklyn Center We have Roseville Lakeville Burnsville Brooklyn did I say Brooklyn Blaine
Brooklyn Center
Councilman Laufenburger Okay but none that have been completed in the last 5 years as far as
Lisa Nelson Most of many of them have been approved and are under some of them are under
construction
Councilman Laufenburger It s interesting from the time that an approval is given how long until you
open the doors
Lisa Nelson Usually about a year It takes us about a year depending on the site Now don t hold me to
the fire on that because at this site we have demolition to do and site work that needs to be done quite
significant because of the grade is as your city staff outlined so there is some work that needs to be done there I wouldn t be the best person to answer that question
Councilman Laufenburger Going back to this keeping dollars in the community I did some simple
math 13 point excuse me 14 5 billion I think was the number that you quoted Minnesota sales is that
correct
Lisa Nelson Correct

Councilman Laufenburger I just divided it by 70 that s roughly 20 million dollars a store Is that a
reasonable number per store
Lisa Nelson It all depends on the market and I have Sharon Power here who is our regional manager
who would give you more information about sales at specific stores but let s say 20 million
Councilman Laufenburger Just follow my math here Let s say 20 million
Lisa Nelson On the low end
Councilman Laufenburger And you said roughly 70 is credit card or checks so that means 30 of your transactions are cash So what local bank in Chanhassen is going to receive the benefits of those cash
deposits every night
Lisa Nelson That s a good question That is a good question I m stumped
Councilman Laufenburger What local bank in Eden Prairie receives the cash deposits every night
Lisa Nelson From Walmart
Councilman Laufenburger In Eden Prairie Would Sharon know that
Lisa Nelson I m not sure I could find out
Sharon Power I could find out for you I don t know that level of detail but we can certainly find out
Councilman Laufenburger We re going to vote inside of an hour
Lisa Nelson Let me say one more thing sir That in terms of community impact in all of the
communities where we have Walmart stores we give back to the community in a large in a big big way
Not only in associate giving and store giving through the through programs that we allow to happen on our property but also through cash donations and if you go to any of our Walmart stores there s a board
in the front of the store as you re check out and it shows what local organizations have received those
and we re really that s something we re really proud about at Walmart is how much we give back to the communities that we call home
Councilman Laufenburger Okay Mr Mayor I think I have just a couple more questions In the letter st dated November 1 which I think was from Mr Matzek and there was discussion about the size of this
store Now I believe you said there s two lynch pins Footprint and parking correct
Lisa Nelson Correct
th Councilman Laufenburger Okay So I found an article on an article dated October 14 and it was of this year and it was quoting some Walmart executives and it talked about the different concepts that
Walmart has Marketside which is I think about a 16 000 square foot footprint An express store About a 15 000 A neighborhood market about 42 000 and then it identified this next level which was a
discount store about 108 to 120 000 And in Mr Matzek s letter it said that this footprint is smaller than
most of the new stores that are being developed but in this article it said and I m quoting the article Majority of Walmart new stores up to 120 this year and 135 in fiscal 2013 will continue to be
supercenters New supercenters are set to be 90 000 to 120 000 square feet Supercenters used to average
185 000 square feet so I m trying to understand the validity of the statement that this is smaller than most
34
51
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
of the other stores It doesn t sound like it based on the information which was quoted from the Walmart
executive Lisa
Lisa Nelson Right Most of the stores we re building in this area are about 120 to 150 and we ve really
stopped building stores bigger than 150 There really aren t you can t find any of the 220 220 000
square foot stores anymore There is a trend in our company to build stores smaller and this is this definitely reflects that That 117 000 square foot footprint that this store reflects the smaller store formats
that we are doing nationwide Now what you re seeing there with the marketside and with all those other formats that we re trying out we have stores that we re building in Chicago that we can t build anything
bigger than 16 000 square feet and it really is more like a convenience grocery store that fits into that
footprint and serves that public In this area and there s a very comprehensive metric that our real estate team goes through to figure out what is what is the appropriate store size for this market and the
appropriate store size for this market so that you can have the grocery pharmacy and the general
merchandise what we could sell here is about 120 000 square feet So that s the size that we d like to build here and the smaller format s generally for more urban dense areas Now we re trying all sorts of
things all over the country and dabbling with smaller store formats but this market here because of the way that it s situated and the trade area that it s in 120 is appropriate and that was come up through a
metric that is very been very successful at Walmart
Councilman Laufenburger Okay And I just one last question Mr Mayor I think the most recent
correspondence indicated that a garden center or drive thru was removed Was that part of the original
concept
Lisa Nelson I m seeing from our architect correct
Councilman Laufenburger It was And how many square foot did that remove from the original
presentation then
Mayor Furlong If you could come to the podium please ma am
Kate Aanenson I don t think it was ever on there myself
Lisa Nelson And it s not that significant
Kate Aanenson Yeah
Councilman Laufenburger So Ms Aanenson says it was never on there
Kate Aanenson It s never this floor plan from the original application has never wavered and I ve never
seen an entrance or anything to the
Jackie Cook Haxby No We never formally submitted that When we initially came in and talked about
it we had that on there but we never really presented it to you It s about 9 000 square foot It s not a change in this particular response
Councilman Laufenburger So this is the square footage of this store is no different than what was
presented at the Planning Commission meeting
Jackie Cook Haxby That is correct
Kate Aanenson That s correct yeah

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman Laufenburger Okay thank you That s all I have Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Thank you Any other questions Councilwoman Tjornhom
Councilwoman Tjornhom I have one simple question for Lisa After all the questions you ve had from the Planning Commission and from this council talking about planning and my question s basic and
simple Walmart saw this parcel of land and you decided to come here tonight and present this to us Why us and why this parcel of land Because it d be easy for you to go somewhere else so why did you
choose Chanhassen
Lisa Nelson Well I was not the one who chose Chanhassen We do have our broker here but I can tell
you when we look for available land to develop there s a lot of factors that go into that and one of those
things is where can we be successful and where is retail appropriate and where is there a willing seller and a willing buyer and what does the market dictate It is dictated mainly by the market and what your
zoning will allow and from our analysis we would not be pursuing this today if we did not think that a PUD was appropriate or that what we wanted to do on this site could work and be functional from our
operational perspective So and if you want to add anything to that Mike
Mike Sims Yeah Be happy to
Lisa Nelson Mike actually selected the land
Mike Sims I work with Walmart Real Estate Manager I m Mike Sims President of Mid America Real
Estate I handle Minnesota for Walmart To Lisa s point the growth that had been occurring in Chanhassen obviously in the west side metro until the last 4 years when we saw a complete stoppage of
residential growth but just the fact that it s an underserved trade area and it captures surrounding markets
as well and just the site characteristics of the property along Highway 5 and the retail synergy that is to the north so in our opinion this was just a very strategic market that is underserved
Councilwoman Tjornhom Okay
Mayor Furlong Thank you Just a question regarding the and this may be for Mr Matzek The parking
and traffic flow and I guess I m just curious with regard to the traffic flow in this particular site Given the size of the facility that s being proposed with effectively only one right left entrance and egress and
the other is a right in right out Given that I now I m going to dabble in a traffic study and I know I m going to screw something up but it looked like that most of the traffic for this site with the traffic flow is
coming off of Highway 5 and certainly off of Powers Boulevard Is that my memory correct there
Will Matzek Yeah that s correct
Mayor Furlong I guess my question is to you and I certainly understand that from the applicant s
standpoint you don t want a site that isn t going to function for your business I understand that At the same time from a traffic study standpoint is there enough Is this is this functional for this size building
given that if most of the traffic is coming off of 5 and off of Powers Boulevard I m going to assume that most of it is also going back to 5 and to Powers and so how does that flow They can come in They
have two right in s but there s only one way to turn left out of that and just looking at the site plan they re
coming down an aisle with some of the parking coming right on it Help me understand from a functionality standpoint how this is going to work
36
53
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Will Matzek As far as the one access point full access point we certainly did a traffic analysis that was
reviewed by certainly city staff as well as their consultant and they generally concurred with our findings
but we found that the level of service at both of those access ingress and egress points operated very well at a level of service A or B at both of those locations And as far as you know folks becoming
accustomed to you know going to the full access point that s very typical as far as folks understanding
you know that that s where you go to you know make your full movement to leave the site and we can accommodate that through signage There s many other retail sites that have this kind of configuration
where you have just one or even 1 1 2 access points and folks become very accustomed to that as everyone is mentioning That folks in Chanhassen we re anticipating will shop this store certainly
repeatedly with good experiences and so we would anticipate this to function very well We do not
anticipate there being an issue and our traffic study had outlined that really there ll be only 4 right out s per hour going out of that right in right out so very minimal traffic will be leaving the site through the
right out
Mayor Furlong So if only 4 are going right out then all the rest of the traffic is doing a left out
Will Matzek Yes that s correct generally speaking I believe Yeah Brian Smallkowski our traffic
engineer is also here He can probably answer a little more in detail if you d like but that is the case
Mayor Furlong No I appreciate the answer Thank you
Will Matzek Sure
Mayor Furlong Any other questions for the applicant Mr McDonald
Councilman McDonald Well I have a question Mr Mayor Is anyone from Instant Web Company here
to speak on this
Mayor Furlong That I don t know There was a letter from Instant Web Company in our packet
Councilman McDonald Right Okay then I guess
Will Matzek There was a representative from IWCO that was here but it looks like he s left
Councilman McDonald Wow just when the fun gets going Okay thank you
Mayor Furlong Any other questions then for follow up questions for staff
Councilman Laufenburger Yeah I do have one for staff Kate or Paul there was a comment about
offering to offer a conservation easement Can you just explain what does that do and is it of any value
Kate Aanenson I m not sure
Councilman Laufenburger I realize I m asking you to make a judgment
Kate Aanenson Yeah it may or may not have any value It d be their responsibility to make sure that
it s protected and kept clean or they can give it to the City or make it our responsibility to make sure that
yeah it s maintained so
Councilman Laufenburger And what invasive species are there
37
54
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Kate Aanenson Probably buckthorn probably the biggest one out there but there may be some other as
far as the survey goes
Councilman Laufenburger Okay And then I think the last question I have for staff is Mr McDonald
raised the question very clearly and that is is in fact this concept PUD is this a final decision
Kate Aanenson Let s talk about process again
Councilman Laufenburger Please
Kate Aanenson We ll go back a little bit So if the applicant would have came in the underlying zoning which was they could request it would need a significant amount of variances and staff was reluctant to
give those variances so the only other track for them would be to go through a concept PUD and again the
concept PUD is really to have a discussion but because the traffic seemed to be a critical issue that needed to be more developed because we were at if we wouldn t have got comments from MnDOT or
Carver County we may not have even taken it back to you It would have been such that they would chosen to say no we re not going to go any further with that At that point we tried to have the dialogue
but obviously there s been a division in the discussion of kind of where the concept is going and then so
they ve gone even further on the concept to try to refine it so it really moved beyond just a concept discussion of what we usually see in a concept level It s really evolved into more to try to respond to
some of the questions that kind of move Again the staff s position on that concept is that we re
expecting something different and that was where our recommendation came from
Councilman Laufenburger Is the cost to the applicant for a just a PUD is the cost and the application
fee and anything they ve paid to the City is that any different with a concept
Kate Aanenson No The cost for the review isn t the same It s their cost of spending a lot of the
engineering and that sort of thing and actually the traffic study and a lot of the work that they ve put into it is their cost Again it s kind of a little bit beyond what we would see for a typical concept
Councilman Laufenburger Well as Councilman McDonald has pointed out it seems to me that they ve spent a I don t do development like Walmart does but it sounds like they ve spent a lot of money to try to
figure out whether this would work and their conclusion was that it does
Kate Aanenson Right well
Councilman Laufenburger That s what it appears like anyway
Kate Aanenson Well I think again now now we ve kind of split because the staff was concerned again
based on the parking ratio If we keep going back to their 4 5 but we believe it s more an effective ratio of probably closer to 3 Maybe 3 1 4
Councilman Laufenburger Especially considering albeit yes they ll take the snow away
Kate Aanenson Again talking about circulation Conflicting traffic movement with truck circulation Those sort of things The loading in the back Conflicting with turn movements Whether it s employees
or not The compromise of the compact parking which helps them get to that 4 5 so if you looked at that
if it wasn t compact the effect would be closer to the 3 2 Again we have no cross access parking which we do in similar situations downtown and most of the business districts downtown
Councilman Laufenburger Like Target
38
55
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Kate Aanenson Byerly s
Councilman Laufenburger M I Bank Byerly s
Kate Aanenson Even on Villages on the Pond they all have cross access agreements so it s a little bit more challenging on this site and I think that s why we said you demonstrate to the city s satisfaction that
you can make it work and our point is we re saying we still think that it s at the minimum at best in some deficiencies
Councilman Laufenburger Okay So back to my original question where does this go after the concept PUD if it s approved tonight
Kate Aanenson They would still have to come back to a public hearing at the Planning Commission That would be the full blown engineering plans Stormwater calculations All the street designs All
that All the civil engineering Detailed architectural plans and more specifics Specific landscaping plans and all that so
Councilman Laufenburger Thank you Kate That was the last question I had Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Other questions Mr McDonald
Councilman McDonald If I could follow up on that question then In order to get to the PUD and get back to the Planning Commission they would need to work with staff is that correct Ms Aanenson
Kate Aanenson If it was to go through another level
Councilman McDonald Like the next stage would be to submit a full blown PUD and they would need to work with staff in order to put that together
Kate Aanenson Correct
Councilman McDonald And as part of that you would still have the opportunity for input to make
changes is that correct
Kate Aanenson That s correct It still would have to meet city ordinance Again the goal here is to give them guidance
Councilman McDonald Okay Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Okay Any other questions for staff or for the applicant No With that then without
objection we ll close the public record and bring it back to council for comment Thoughts and
comments Mr Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Thank you Mr Mayor First of all I want to give high regard to Walmart for bringing your team here I expect Ms Power maybe will have an answer for me a little bit later on that
question okay But I respect you for doing what obviously is a difficult task in preparing everything that
you need to so and I thank you for regarding Chanhassen in much the same way that 23 000 citizens of Chanhassen regard it as well As a wonderful place to live shop raise a family But I want to say a
special congratulations to the citizens Wendy you chose not to speak tonight but I know that you and
your organization of Chanhassen First mobilized in incredible ways using technology and I just applaud
39
56
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
you on all of that My email has been active As of 5 00 when I closed it down today 126 emails A
number of phone conversations and 50 plus conversations in the grocery lines as you pointed out so
clearly Chanhassen cares The Chanhassen citizens care about the community so I just applaud that As much as I would like to evaluate this based on many ancillary things like is Walmart a good citizen or not
a good citizen Will they bring the right jobs Will they not bring the right jobs Fortunately I don t
have to make that decision My decision is based on the validity of this plan and how it fits our comprehensive plan and as Ms Aanenson has pointed out for my perspective there s 9 criteria that were
established for a concept PUD and I just want to re state just preliminarily that the use of the PUD zoning allows for a greater variety of uses internal transfer of density construction phasing and a potential for
lower development costs In exchange for this enhanced flexibility which Walmart chose to take
advantage of the development plan must result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning district such as Community
Commercial And it is the applicant s responsibility to demonstrate that the City s expectations will be
realized as evaluated against the intent of the PUD and the 9 specific standards so I m just Mr Mayor indulge the council for just a second here I m going to kind of give a grade on these 9 criteria if you
don t mind Preserve desirable site characteristics I would call that a minimum Yes I understand that they re going to add trees for canopy but they re also going to take down some trees that have been there
a long time and so I would say meets minimum requirements Number 2 is effective land use open space
and again I would call that a minimum Number 3 high quality design and building architecture With all respect to Jackie I certainly appreciate what you re saying though the other 49 stores in the state of
Minnesota may not agree with you that this is the most beautiful one but from my standpoint I look at yes
the outside of the building Faade transparency Minimum requirement on landscaping Setback
Parking at least 10 below requirements No compact for high turnover parking Loading berths do not comply I would call number 3 high quality design and building architecture deficient Number 4
Sensitive development of transitional areas Again I would say that s a minimum so we ve got 2 minimums and one deficiency 5 consistent with the comp plan The planning director has said that it s
guided for commercial community commercial in the comp plan and yes this is community commercial
but from my perspective that footprint which Lisa is looking for and can t be compromised that s a little bit outside of bounds so I would say that s a comply Number 6 parks and open spaces I would call that
a minimum Number 7 housing I don t think you re going to build any houses on this property is that
correct Lisa so that does not apply Number 8 energy conservation I read closely what you re doing in the building and Jackie your comments are making it a LEED compliant building I think that s great and
I think the majority of the benefit will accrue to Walmart Lower cost water Lower cost electricity
Nothing wrong with that There will be public benefit but mainly it s to benefit Walmart I would say that s comply and maybe even more than comply Traffic area The fact that Walmart is prepared to
finance all the costs and by the way Ms Steinwall you were prepared to commit to the neighborhood meetings Why couldn t you commit 2 million dollars in traffic improvements
Sue Steinwall Because I like my job
Councilman Laufenburger But we do have a million and a half so let s say that s a comply So of that
of those 9 I ve got 1 2 Two what I would call comply One is not applicable and then 1 2 3 4 5 are
meet minimum requirement and one is highly deficient and from my standpoint I don t think that satisfies my requirement of the applicant demonstrating that the City s expectations for higher quality
Significantly higher quality more sensitive proposal is demonstrated And what I m wondering about that is why would Walmart go to all this expense and work without striving to satisfy a high quality
more sensitive proposal Thank you Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Thank you Other thoughts Comments Councilwoman Tjornhom
40
57
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilwoman Tjornhom Thank you Thank you for your comments Denny I thought they were
interesting and so I think you did your homework When we go back to the start of all this that s where
I m looking at it I guess First of all I want to say that I ve been on the council for 7 years and we ve lived through many issues Many many issues but this is the one and only time I can think of where I
have received so much feedback and so much so many comments and suggestions and pleadings for
saying please don t vote for whatever and so I want you to know that I mean this is a citizen representative body here tonight where we represent you and I understand that But I also represent the
city of Chanhassen and so when I heard that there was a store coming in and we were going to have a tax base and we were going to have jobs and probably not the type of jobs that we all have or want to have
but they were socioeconomic jobs where a teenager could get a job or a senior citizen could get hired
That kind of made my heart go pitter patter I thought you know we need jobs and we need income and we need a healthy economy But at the same time you know is the right fit for our community and so
then tonight when I asked Kate Aanenson about the zoning in 2009 how it changed and if there had been
any offers during that time or any interest in the parcel and she says no That tells me that one of course the economy is bad but also maybe it s not zoned correctly You know maybe we need to go back and
look to see what we need to do as a council to make that parcel viable that we can find something that will compliment our downtown and I m not saying it s this project But I m saying that as a council member
I look at what s healthiest for our economy and for our citizens and so is the land not zoned appropriately
Is there something we need to look at Is there something keeping other businesses from not coming into it If everyone s following me what I m saying that maybe we need to go back once again to the
Planning Commission and look at it again and say is this working I asked Walmart why they re here
tonight because they obviously don t fit in this parcel of land and they said it It s because we re a viable
community We re a healthy community and we re spending what was it 10 million dollars in Eden Prairie and I mean we should be spending that here We should be spending that here in our businesses
and our stores That creates a healthy downtown We talk about a lifestyle center out on 212 and that worries me sometimes because I don t want people going out there and that area developing when we
should be concentrating on our downtown because our businesses are what brought us here today and so I
would propose that we table all of this We roll it back and we re evaluate where we are with the zoning and if it s pertinent to today and where we want to go as a city
Mayor Furlong Thank you Mr McDonald
Councilman McDonald Well so is there a motion on the table then
Councilwoman Tjornhom I would make a motion to table it so we can study it further the zoning and to
see if it is even something we should look at but I think this is happening so fast This came in in October It went to the Planning Commission in 4 hours and now it s here and this is a huge decision
because if we deny this then we have to deny it for everybody and if there s an opportunity that comes in
that is good for us then we can t go that route so I want to make sure before we say yea or nay to
anything we are very confident that we are doing the right thing and so that s my perspective and where I m coming from on this issue
Mayor Furlong Okay Did you make a motion to table at this point
Councilwoman Tjornhom Yes I make a motion to table it
Mayor Furlong Okay there s a motion to table Is there a second
Councilman McDonald I ll second the motion
41
58
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Mayor Furlong Motion s been made and seconded to table That s non debatable We ll proceed with
the vote
Councilwoman Tjornhom moved Councilman McDonald seconded to table Planning Case 2011 11
for Walmart Councilwoman Tjornhom and Councilman McDonald voted in favor Mayor
Furlong and Councilman Laufenburger voted against The motion failed with a tie vote of 2 to 2
Mayor Furlong The motion receives 2 2 so it is not agreed to so let s continue with our discussion at this time
Councilman McDonald Okay well I also look at this from the standpoint of you know we made a decision that this part of town needed to have some kind of commercial retail in it We rezoned it We
held public meetings We discussed it We looked at what was going to be viable to help our downtown
This store will do that because what it will do it will bring further development to an area that we ve been trying to get developed and will put in place all the infrastructure that we need to develop that area at
no cost to the citizens of this city and that is significant because at some point we re going to have to pony up those costs if we want to see anything happen I had hoped to hear from the owner of the
property because they did send us a letter pretty much saying that they have done everything they can to
help promote that site To get someone in there To rent it To sell it To have someone to take it over and there are no takers You re hurting a good company A lot of the emails I got concerned about how
we need to take care of companies within this town Instant Web is a very core company within this
town They ve been here for a long time Provide a lot of jobs and they do contribute to the community
so I have to listen to them whenever they tell me that this is an opportunity that has come along that you know serves the community They are good stewards of the community and again it takes care of a
problem for them Maybe it saves a couple of jobs Everybody s in favor of us continuing to have employment manufacturing That s what Instant Web does so I think it accomplishes that goal I do
have concerns though about it and my biggest concern is definitely the traffic I brought up the whole
thing about the right out I m not in favor of that because I know the problems that we ve had with the drug store down on Galpin CVS and the other areas and we re not going to put a police officer down
there to give tickets to U turns but the problem that it creates is those people coming out the western exit
that do want to turn left we re going to create a problem I think there s solutions to that and I believe that staff maybe with input from council and also with further discussions can resolve that and at that
point I think I would feel a lot better about the site The internal movements that Ms Aanenson brought
up I am sensitive to those and she s got a point so I think that s also an area that needs to be looked at As far as the other aspects of it as Mr Laufenburger has stated what our decision kind of comes down to
is is it good for the City Does it fit with the comprehensive plan Do we get enough out of this to make it attractive for the City to go and approve this Even with an approval tonight this is not a done deal and
it will have to come back again with a PUD which would have to address all of those issues I mean a
lot s been said about a concept PUD versus a PUD and a lot of individuals have concern because of the
lack of detail That s what a concept PUD is We got what we asked for I think now what we re asking for is you have to give us more detail We re interested but you know we re not ready to you know
commit at this point I just believe that there are enough good things about this for it to go forward to get
to a detailed plan that can be further evaluated by the Planning Commission and by City Council and then at that point to see if it fits I realize this is not the best fit on this site but again after 6 years nobody s
coming to this site We have no place else to develop to the western end of this town except through this corridor The land to the north across 5 is privately owned and it is not going to be developed so there is
no hope there that any of that is going to be available for development In order for the downtown area to
thrive we need anchors on 5 We need to draw people to this area This will do it Next week we re going to dedicate a parking garage behind the Dinner Theater That is put there again to help draw people
to the downtown area To also encourage development of the downtown area and to redevelop that part
of downtown so that we have more shops pedestrian ways and things that will again attract people to

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
downtown Chanhassen You can t ignore 10 million dollars a year and you can t ignore the amount of
traffic that something like this brings here I ve evaluated all this stuff and I ve looked at all the
arguments of how we re going to kill businesses I don t believe it You can laugh but you need to show me the studies You re not going to affect Target Target competes with Walmart head to head They do
quite well They don t need our help Office Max is the same way They re competing with Target
They re competing with a lot of other stores They do quite well Again a business knows how to compete That s their job That s why Walmart s looking at this spot and I think we benefit greatly by
having something like this but again until I see a final PUD I m not willing to vote yea I m just willing to vote fine spend the time Spend the money You need to talk with staff and there are some
deficiencies that we have identified that need to be addressed before you re going to get a final PUD
through That s where I m at
Mayor Furlong Thank you Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Yeah Mr Mayor I think Ms Power might have gotten an answer to my
question is that correct
Sharon Power Yes
Councilman Laufenburger The question I asked is what local bank in Eden Prairie receives the cash
proceeds at the end of every day
Sharon Power US Bank is the one that our Eden Prairie store goes to
Councilman Laufenburger Thank you very much
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you I appreciate the thoughts and comments I also want to start out by
recognizing and thanking the Walmart team and representatives for coming and for all the work that you did When I hear that the concept PUD is intended to make it easier and not quite the expense and then I
also hear that you put had to go through a lot of that anyway I want to just extend our thanks and
appreciation for the work that you did in answering the questions and sometimes you know these projects are like onions You peel back one layer and you ve got another one that raises more questions so thank
you for all your time and effort I also want to recognize and thank all the citizens that have been
involved and have gained an interest and perhaps opened up the comprehensive plan for the first time or for at least the first time in a while and looked at the thoughts and comments and everything that has gone
into that Our Planning Commission as well and city staff I really appreciate all their efforts on this It is everyone that s been involved in the process Sometimes this public process can seem long It can seem
awkward It can seem cumbersome but ultimately it s a process that is intended to be inclusive and to get
everything out on the table and I think that has been accomplished here Whether or not individually we
may agree or disagree with the outcome I think it s clear that the public process here has been an open and complete process for the application and that s our goal and objective Our evaluation here as a
council similar to that at the Planning Commission was not about who was making the application but
whether or not the application itself was consistent with the comprehensive plan Whether it made the zoning ordinances If there and whether or not it met the PUD requirements Ultimately from a
comprehensive plan standpoint you ve heard talk about community commercial tonight as a zoning or a guidance that was created with our update in the 2008 comprehensive plan That comprehensive plan
again is a 2030 comprehensive plan so every 10 years the city will update the comprehensive plan Look
at land use Parks Transportation Open space Natural preserves Every 10 years but we re always looking out 20 plus years ahead so the current comprehensive plan that we re talking about is a 2030
comprehensive plan and in 8 years the council and Planning Commission will update a 2040 plan but at
this point it s a 2030 plan and it s a plan It s a it says here s our vision collectively as a community of
43
60
Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
how we want to see our city grow and develop and the recognition of the need for more commercial
activities was one of the aspects that came out of that planning process back in 2008 2009 timeframe and
it was one that had citizens involved There were many open houses A lot of the businesses were involved It was a collective desire to move forward and this community commercial was part of that
The intentions then of what that community commercial meant really comes out through the zoning and
one of the aspects that we heard here tonight was the one of the components of that zoning is the size of buildings that we saw as a city That we saw as a community What was the intention of this community
commercial and that was for building sizes 15 000 to 64 000 I believe We ve heard tonight about the concept PUD What a PUD s supposed to provide in terms of higher level of higher quality of
development and more sensitive You know the onus sometimes legally is on different parties In this
case it s on the part of the applicant to demonstrate that they have achieved and exceeded the various points that are required from the for the PUD or in this case concept PUD And I do again want to thank
Walmart the applicant for listening at the Planning Commission Hearing those comments by the
commissioners and by the citizens as well in terms of updating the plan Practically I think that there are still significant deficiencies with regard to the application relative to the PUD standards and I think that s
a challenge With regard to the applicant s offer to mitigate some of the off site traffic issues we really appreciate that I think that s important and is consistent with what we see but I m still very concerned
with the challenges on site The parking deficiencies for me I think some of the challenges off site on
the roads with regards to traffic flow are in large part because of the size of the proposed development and I think too with the on site issues for traffic and traffic flow parking they re also in large part a
function of the size of the proposed development Long term our comprehensive plan as I said it s a
2030 plan It s not a 2013 plan I think that over the years it s been our experience as a city as a
community that following the plan has created a lot of success and I have seen and we ve seen many examples of that There have been opportunities to change the plan To modify it over the years There
needs to be a compelling reason to do so in my opinion The responding to the applicant that happens to be in front is always a it s always important that we give them full thoughtful consideration but if they
don t meet it then I think again it s on them to justify that there needs to be a compelling reason to
change One of my concerns and I appreciate Councilwoman Tjornhom s thoughts and comments about the possible need to review some of the aspects of either the plan or the zoning I think that s reasonable
There are timeframes that we re working under here obviously with regard to approval or of any
application and I believe we have basically until the end of January if I m not mistaken There s 60 days that we have I think that ends the end of this month and then we have 60 more days that we can take
I m not sure and I guess explaining my no vote on the tabling Is not disagreeing with your position that
we need to perhaps review this but it s just with the timeframe with regard to this application I don t know if the 2 months is sufficient time to accomplish that So I do see some inconsistencies here with
this application with the community commercial guidance and the comprehensive plan Not that it s not commercial It is commercial but with regard to the inconsistencies associated with the zoning and how
the zoning ordinance and specifically the building size kind of spoke to the intention of that Of that
guiding They are I don t think they meet the intention or the general standards of a PUD and I think
getting comments back to Ms Nelson with regard to the building size and one of your comments that I caught was that it was sized for the market or the trade area and that it was sized for where you need to
be and I fully respect that and understand that as you operate your business What I think we have here
though is that this site this property isn t able to support that I mean to that it s the size of the development I think exceeds the reasonable use of this particular property under this zoning guide so I
think that s you know for some more feedback I mean there are a lot of areas where there s some deficiencies or minimum standards from that but I think what it gets down to is and this was mentioned
at the Planning Commission meeting as well Is the size of the facility or the size of the proposed
building and the use with regard to this property and the particular aspects of this property where I think it also shows challenges and deficiencies so you know I guess ultimately for these reasons I do not support
the concept application and would certainly support the staff s recommendation on the for a motion this
evening Any other thoughts or comments Councilman Laufenburger

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman Laufenburger Yeah I m reminded of just one of Ms Nelson s opening comments and that
is there s two things that she really wants to hang on and that is the footprint and parking and frankly the parking is predicated by the requirement for the footprint and it just it s not a match Just doesn t seem to
be a match So Mayor I d like to make a motion
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger I move that the Chanhassen City Council direct staff to prepare Findings of
Fact consistent with denial of the Concept Planned Unit Development
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 Hearing none we ll proceed with the vote
Councilman Laufenburger moved Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded that the Chanhassen City Council direct staff to prepare Findings of Fact consistent with denial of the Concept Planned Unit
Development for Planning Case 2011 11 Walmart All voted in favor and the motion carried
unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0
Mayor Furlong Given the though we don t have much to go on our agenda this evening let s just take a
short recess subject to the call of the Chair
The City Council took a short recess at this point in the meeting
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS
Councilman McDonald way down to Chanhassen Station There s 9 stop lights or something
Councilwoman Tjornhom Not that I m counting
Councilman McDonald But we have eliminated a vast majority of those stop lights I think we got it
down to 2
Councilwoman Tjornhom Two yep
Councilman Laufenburger Let me tell you south of 5 we don t have near that problem with stop lights
Councilman McDonald Well and we ve got a station for you south of 5 now
th Mayor Furlong No I think that s so the ribbon cutting for Chanhassen Station is on the 9 but service th starts on Monday the 12 is that correct
Councilman McDonald Yes that is correct
Mayor Furlong And if people are interested in finding out about the schedule I assume that s on the
Southwest Transit website I assume it s published

Chanhassen City Council November 28 2011
Councilman McDonald It s published I thought it was also on the Chanhassen website
Todd Gerhardt Yes
Councilman McDonald Isn t there a link
Todd Gerhardt And we ll send a reminder notice for the time and everything for council just so you re
aware
Mayor Furlong Okay
Councilman McDonald And there will be cake and it s going to be inside at the Dinner Theater
There ll be a you know quite a few things going on The public is invited so
Councilwoman Tjornhom Free bus rides around town
Councilman McDonald Not sure We ll have to work on that
Mayor Furlong Thank you Other council presentations One comment that I ll make I ve been asked to serve and it will be interesting but I ve been asked to serve on a legislative working group relating to
looking at changes in the LGA local government aid formulas and calculations We don t get any
Kate Aanenson You re non biased
Mayor Furlong While I you know I don t know
Councilman Laufenburger The task will be daunting
Mayor Furlong Well yes yes I guess maybe I should have been careful here before I brought this up
publicly Now maybe there s an expectation that we do start getting some but I don t think that s the goal
or the intention of this group but really it s to and I m looking forward to learning more about it but it s really to take a look at the system that s been in place for decades and whether at least as I m looking at
it what was it intended to accomplish Is it accomplishing those goals Are there better ways to do
things and realizing of course that there s the legislature probably has nothing else to do in the coming months No Vikings stadium to consider or bonding bill or budget shortfalls so that this will probably be
number one on their agenda but in any event I just wanted to share that with the rest of the council and others that I m pleased to be able to serve in that capacity Other comments or council presentations If
not Mr Gerhardt administrative presentations
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS
Todd Gerhardt Just I think I talked about it at our last meeting but we had quite the celebration for Dale
Gregory for his 40 years of service with the city and thank you to the mayor for attending and saying his appreciations for that service It was fun to hear the stories of where our public works originally started
from Dale was our first Park and Rec Superintendent and we started with some pretty modest times so again I just want to extend my appreciation for Dale s outstanding 40 years of service with the City
That s all I have
Mayor Furlong Thank you Any questions for Mr Gerhardt Then I guess just final comments th upcoming We will be meeting in a special meeting next Monday night the 5 which formerly was our
Truth in Taxation hearing but it will be basically the public hearing relating to the budget And then our

STATUS OF 2011 PARK AND TRAIL ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Hoffman Thank you Chair Daniels members of the commission This is just a brief overview to keep
you up to date on what s going on with 2011 CIP projects as we look forward I guess the overall nature
of this report is that a lot of these projects are on hold or in a holding pattern which is a good thing for the overall fund balance but eventually these projects will move forward and the cash will be allocated out of
this fund Specifically in 2011 six items range from 10 000 which are items such as the picnic tables the benches and the rec center fitness equipment up to 400 000 and now those that particular item has
increased to 633 000 but total is 985 000 as originally published Each item trees That allocation is
currently at 25 000 It has been reduced down in future years to 15 000 Basically it s a way to which
67
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
we a manner in which we can replace trees at a variety of parks across our community We have also
been fortunate to be now currently involved with the Environmental Commission s Arbor Day tree
planting so if you were there this spring and the previous year the past 2 years at Lake Ann Next year I think we re going to finish out Lake Ann with some tree plantings during that particular weekend and
then probably move onto Bandimere so Ash borer is not here yet but once it does get here I think you ll
see some additional increased attention in the areas of trees As commissioners if you ever hear of any neighborhoods individual residents that are looking for trees in a particular area just let us know and we
can get those installed Annually we have 10 000 We don t always spend those dollars for picnic tables and park benches That allocation is also where we take the expenditures for our memorial benches from
and so when we purchase a memorial bench and then we take the 1 000 in the original expenditure s
coming out of this particular budget We did a couple of those this year We didn t buy a lot of benches this particular year Not a lot of expenditures in that line item This is the fourth year out of 5 total for
the recreation center fitness equipment so it s a modest but significant program to renew and refresh
fitness equipment at the rec center so each year for the last 4 we ve purchased this equipment Next year will be the last year If you happen to work out or know people that work out at the rec center they ve
noticed the difference Other 41 The underpass and trail our grant match has increased from 400 000 to 632 000 and that s again an estimate based on actual construction costs will tell the final story on
where that project comes in The County is hopeful to get that project underway and out of the ground
come spring of 2012 and we ve been working on that since before 2005 so it will be nice to have that trail project in and done The Highway 41 trail extension which we ll be talking about in December and that
stairway that allocation has actually been lowered from 250 000 to 205 000 and we will be
independently bidding that as separate from the Carver County project so they ll be bidding their larger
project These two projects will be bid as one but it ll be a city project We re hopeful that the same contractor is awarded both of those projects but there s no guarantees If two contractors happen to get
the projects then we ll work we ll kind of stage them One then the other Pioneer Park acquisition 290 000 That acquisition was completed in 2011 I have an update for the commission Pioneer Pass
currently went through a significant transformation one which the City was not expecting The
developer Ryland brought excess materials onto the park site far in excess of what our agreement whatever development contract between the City Council the park board and the developer entailed
They didn t call us They went over by a foot on the entire 8 7 acres They went over by 2 feet on the
entire 8 7 acres They eventually ended up filling the site in excess of 4 to 8 feet depending on where you re at It s approximately 45 000 cubic yards of excess material I met with Mark Sonstegard
Ryland s representative last Monday They were hopeful that they were just going to round off the edges
and kind of let it go at that I stopped him about midway in his second sentence I said Mark this is no way acceptable with the City I said the City Council purchased that property We own it The City owns
it for the people of Chanhassen to utilize as a park We had a beautiful park site up until 2 weeks ago when you started hauling this material onto this property You didn t contact us This material all has to
leave the site We want this grade to the original grading plan that was approved and the original grading
plan was approved knowing that they were going to bring excess material over Use it as a balanced site
It was a known quantity Obviously their engineer just blew the calculation by a significant amount It s not a small issue I mean I don t know the exact dollar amount but we re talking in the quarter of a
million dollar range to remove that type of material off of that site It could be in excess of that Their
engineer tried to quickly get a meeting with our engineering department and we just said unless you send us a proposal showing us what is exactly going to happen here we re not interested in meeting I m not
interested in meeting so Mark Sonstegard again a representative of Ryland called that meeting off He said yeah we don t have a plan together as of yet My other comments to him were fortunately you have
up to a year We don t need the site until the spring of 2013 for development so you have up to a year to
find a home for this material I think their original proposal was going to be something a little less than what we got but not nearly down to where we were going to be at I said Mark we have to be a lot closer
to where we were at originally and really the goal there is to be able to view through that park from a
view shed from a car window and so you re driving down that nice road and you want to be able to see
2
68
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
through that park See what activities are going on Take a ride out there today you ll notice that even if
you were standing on the trail above the curb line you couldn t even see what was going on in the park
because it s up on top of a hill
Caron They didn t even notify the City when they shut down the road
Hoffman They notified the City that they were shutting down the road for they thought one weeks then
two and then it went into three weeks and they opened it up for the weekends but yeah they blistered the road during the weekdays but they didn t notify us when they knew there was an issue so we weren t
happy about that We own the property outright and so they have really it was not a good situation that
they got themselves into but they ve got all the dirt out of their housing lots They ve got it all in the park now and there s going to have to be a resolution so wanted to let you know that that s going on We have
1 2 million dollars in a retainer performance bond on the project so
Cole Kelly Is it all protected then Did they
Hoffman Currently no It s just packed clay and they ve got to get they ve got to get out there and
Caron Do some sort of restoration for the winter Okay
Hoffman So we don t we ve not accepted the site obviously in the condition it s in They re going to
have to come up with a plan on how to restore that particular site to get it back to what we want to see it
but we have this 1 2 million dollars in performance retainage so if we don t get the plan we want to see in the next 30 days probably 15 days then I ll be responding to a letter Giving them a drop dead date
probably like July 1 of next year If it s not done and corrected then we ll call down that performance bond Hire a contractor on our own Remove that material Also we need to bring in 6 inches of black
which they haven t shown us yet The development contract requires that once they grade the site then
they fill it with top it with 6 inches 4 to 6 inches of black soil and that s not there either so I think they kept that all on their side for their lots so that s an issue as well So that s a little snafu on Pioneer Pass
but we ll work through it and I ll keep commissioners up to date as we move forward That s all I have
tonight Thank you
Daniel Thank you Ryland
Hoffman Ryland Homes
Daniel Aren t they going under
Hoffman Rottlund
Daniel Rottlund is okay That s right Alright thanks Todd
Hoffman You re welcome
Daniel Alright Any questions with regards to CIP this year and the projects If not let s go ahead and move on to the picnic reservation fees 2012
ESTABLISH 2012 PICNIC RESERVATION FEES
Ruegemer Thanks Chair Daniels Just wanted to bring to the park and rec commission meeting this
month here Last month we did review the kind of the end of the year evaluation of picnic program that
3
69
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
we do have We did look at you know different members and different experiences that our customers
did have so just wanted to bring the 2012 fees to the commission tonight which we normally look at in
November Staff is recommending that the 2012 picnic fees remain at the same level of 2011 for 2012 so the picnic fees are attached to your report in your packet That for your review If you d certainly like to
make any changes with the fees you certainly can do so at the time It is staff s recommendation that fees
remain the same for 2012 as they were in 2011
Daniel Okay
Hoffman Can we make a separate fee for the people that find out the non resident fee and then they say
I ll call you back
Ruegemer Let me go dig up somebody and call you back
Hoffman Jerry gets that a lot
Ruegemer That does happen Let me call you back My cousin lives in Chanhassen
Daniel Alright Well let s any questions regarding the fees Steve
Scharfenberg No
Daniel Cole
Cole Kelly No
Caron No
Aldritt I don t have any
Daniel Todd when did we go to or Jerry when did we go to 200 or 250 on non resident When was that
Ruegemer This fee structure was changed probably about 3 to 4 years ago where we kind of simplified We used to have a number of different kind of categories of fees Just kind of lumped it all into one really
simplified I believe that was about 3 or 4 years ago
Daniel Because for some reason I thought at one point non resident on the weekdays for some reason
stuck in my mind like 145 or something like 150 wasn t it It s always been close to 20 or right
around that range
Ruegemer Right around that range yes
Daniel Okay
Hoffman For the non resident businesses especially a large one it s still a great value You go out there
and see some of those events that are taking place and you can t imagine that you would ever get a park
like that for 250 for the people that they haul in there
Cole Kelly Well I was going to say it s got to be a super value for those larger companies
4
70
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
Hoffman Yeah
Daniel Oh yeah
Hoffman Yeah it s a good value for them but you can t I mean then a smaller company with you know
15 20 employees it s kind of like well it s pretty
Cole Kelly You mean we can t break it out like Fortune 500 5 000
Hoffman We could
Daniel Alright Well I don t think we see any changes so I think we d probably go ahead and approve
or go ahead and move it with a motion to approve
Cole Kelly I make a motion that we approve the staff recommendations for the picnic reservation fees
Caron Second
Cole Kelly moved Caron seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the 2012 group picnic reservation fees remain at the same level as 2011 All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
Hoffman The thing we do like when those large companies come here is they bring a lot of people to Chanhassen that may have never been here and they re like well we re coming back They come back to
live or they come back to shop or come back to go to the Dinner Theater so we get them one way or the other
RECREATION PROGRAM REPORTS
2011 HALLOWEEN PARTY EVALUATION
Ruegemer Doesn t it seem so long ago
Daniel It actually does but it s less than a month
nd Ruegemer So yeah the event was held on October 22 We did talk about it briefly at last month when was John here last month I think he was but just you know I m not going to really go through
everything but you know it really was a nice event for the community We did get some increased
numbers with that A lot of the same components you know are the same The City continues to be John
did move the date up a week to kind of miss other conflicting parties in the area and it seemed like our attendance has gone up a bit through the years The last couple years Three years that this has been done
so just general comments you know on that Again just continue to have a lot of volunteers through civic
organizations The Key Clubs Park and rec commissioners that sort of thing here so as you can see we do have a large number of volunteers to make the event successful so we re going to continue to do that
A lot of help from city staff getting the event set up and managed prior to the event Continue to reserve the different rooms of the rec center so we can kind of get in and set up prior to the event itself and also
have some time on the tail end to break down and store over until the first part of the week following the
event so just entertain any types of questions at this point
Daniel Did you go through all 75 dozen cookies
5
71
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
Ruegemer No we did not And that actually was reduced as well so really trying to kind of bring the
numbers down with the amount of candy and cider If we have extra cider and that sort of thing we can
return it to Cub
Daniel Questions for Jerry Cole I know you participated in it didn t you
Cole Kelly Yep So did Peter
Daniel That s right
Cole Kelly Yeah it was a great event I mean there were a number of parents coming up going how do you give out candy I say all you do is volunteer you know Call the City
Ruegemer Right right
Cole Kelly So it was kind of fun to see all the little kids especially since I m past that stage you know and then whichever super hero I was a bunch of kids knew him and one little boy didn t want to leave
me
Hoffman You guys looked great Saw the pictures
Ruegemer Mr Incredible
Cole Kelly Yeah Mr Incredible Yeah I don t even know who he is
Hoffman But the kids liked him

Hoffman You all looked good
Daniel Alright obviously we ll talk more about this coming next September I assume as we prepare for October s next year s October party so that will be great Glad to see it was a success again because it is
you know one of the key events that the city has each year Okay thanks Jerry
Ruegemer Yep no problem
2011 TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY
rd Ruegemer The tree lighting ceremony is coming up Saturday December 3 A lot of the events and the
components are in place at this point Mayor Furlong will be flipping the switch around 5 15 to light up City Center Park Park maintenance crews have been extremely busy as of late stringing lights and trees
and getting everything all set to go for the event The City s involved obviously and Buy Chanhassen is also one of the co sponsors of the event The Mustard Seed is Mark Halla and he s supplying Santa
Claus for the event and also one of his reindeer for the event The Chanhassen Fire Department is
involved again with driving the aerial ladder to deliver Santa Claus to the City Center plaza itself so it should be a great event It s always a nice event to bring the community together to kind of tip off the
holiday season so live reindeer again Refreshments Bonfire Gingerbread house contest and displays
and we ll all be right down here in City Center Park in less than 2 weeks so
6
72
Park and Recreation Commission November 22 2011
Daniel Alright Any questions for Jerry on the tree lighting ceremony I m actually going to try to
make an effort to get there this year because I know we can t head out west so
Hoffman It continues to grow It s a winner People like it
Daniel Oh yeah Well thank you Jerry And now we ve got the 11 and 12 winter programming
2011 12 WINTER PROGRAMMING
Ruegemer Just a list for the commission tonight to kind of let you know kind of what s going on here for the winter season That there are some new things Certainly the programs for preschool and different
categories for that so Jen and Jodi have been doing a great job with the after school and rec center sports
programs John certainly will be missed in that category and that area but we will continue Jodi Sarles also kind of co runs that and Jodi does as fantastic job with that as well and I ll step in in the interim
period to ensure success Continued success with that area So just a number of youth and family and adult programs are listed here so hopefully our residents have a lot of options and a lot of programs that
they can sign up for so we re happy to do so and hopefully they ll sign up for it and have a good time
Scharfenberg Jerry not necessarily right on point but in terms of the skating rinks I know assuming
weather and everything will they open over Christmas break
th Ruegemer Our plan right now is to open up the Friday prior so that the I think the 17
Scharfenberg Oh okay
Ruegemer That s kind of our goal right now so a lot is going to have to depend on what the weather
does here the next we ve got to get some frost in the ground and really hit it hard but we have warming th houses coming the week of the 12 of December and get those put into place Get a little time to get them thth set up Staff training it looks like it s going to be probably the 12 or 13 of December at this point and
that s kind of plan is we d kind of like to have a soft opening prior to the holiday break so that it s hopefully all the bugs will be worked out with staff and anything like that so that s our plan right now
Scharfenberg Okay
Daniel Alright Any other questions for Jerry
Hoffman This moisture was a great first step You need that moisture to really seal that ground so it will
hold water in the future Without any moisture in there it s really difficult to get frost in that top layer so
this is going to be a big help
Daniel Just in general Actually I think my yard started turning green for the first time since September
Hoffman And that s in November
Daniel Alright thanks again Jerry for all that information
Ruegemer Yep

COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS None
ADMINISTRATIVE PACKET
Daniel Todd anything you want to highlight in the administrative packet
Hoffman Couple of things and then I have a couple of other administrative items that I d like to add and
highlight for the commission Mr Dale Rusch is a retired gentleman that does this fantastic bluebird report and so we really appreciate that If you happen to run into him and get to know who he is say
thank you You ll recognize him because he bikes to City Hall from where he lives out at the corner of 5
and 41 at the townhouses there and that s where we starts his bluebird activities and I think he does his survey on his bike many times as well And then the Voice of People Award Very nice that the City of
Chanhassen was recognized for excellence in two categories City parks and recreation programs and
classes and so that s the annual survey or semi annual survey that we do and to get those awards you have to be in the top 10 among the 500 jurisdictions so the City Council recognized the Park and Recreation
Commission staff for that recognition The Dugout Club has been active in our community as you know In October you approved the donation of the double batting cage which then the City Council
accepted and that was installed last week so when our crew went down and started to skin off the area
They found the old aggregate which was in great condition and so we didn t have to add as much down there There was a batting cage at that location at some point in the past so that was installed They will
bring a proposal to the commission this winter to move the backstop up from 60 feet to 40 feet Basically
just taking the back wall and moving it forward That 60 feet is just a real challenge for playing baseball
at that particular location All we can come up with is that it was designed after a major league baseball field with a 60 foot distance between the backstop and home plate
Daniel For Babe Ruth he can run all day long
Hoffman Yeah you can run all day long

Page 2
A stormwater pond originally planned to be constructed along the east side of TH 101 just
south of 96 Street is instead proposed to be constructed in the northwest corner of the TH
101 and Pioneer Trail intersection This change is proposed to reduce tree removals and
impacts to properties along the east side of TH 101 however it does result in some
additional wetland impacts and will need to be approved by the environmental oversight
agencies
The preliminary design for the pedestrian underpass at Bandimere Park has been changed to
move the west end of the underpass further south to help reduce impacts to the property
owner along the west side of TH 101
A copy of the updated project layout is attached illustrating these changes The project design
will continue to be refined through the final design process
Two other frequent comments received through the EA EAW review process included concerns
regarding the amount of tree removal and the need for the roadway to be expanded from two
lanes to four lanes These concerns are addressed in the EA EAW response to comments
document
The City submitted a Metro Municipal Agreement Grant application to MnDOT for this project
on July 29 2011 The application requested 702 000 in funding for improvements at the TH
101 and Pioneer Trail intersection Staff is waiting to hear whether our application was
successful If the City is unsuccessful in obtaining this funding the improvements to the
intersection of Pioneer Trail intersection my need to be delayed
A neighborhood meeting was held on December 1 2011 to discuss the EA findings and
comment responses Two hundred fifty six 256 meeting notices were mailed and 23 people
attended the meeting The main comments received at the meeting were not to increase the
roadway to four lanes and try to reduce the tree impacts as much as possible

Dear Mr Oehme
The District has reviewed the Environmental Assessment and Section 4 F Evaluation for SP
194 010 011 Minnesota Project No SX PX 1011 1445 and offers to the City the following
continents
1 Appendix B SAW Item 12 page 6 states a wetland boundary delineation will take
place in the Spring of 2011
a Please provide a copy of the wetland boundary delineation to the District to
review
2 Appondix B SAW Item 14 page 7 states the designated shoreland zone for Riley
Lake extends west to the Kiowa TH10I intersection and that the project as currently
planned does not trigger any additional requirements do to this portion of the
project being within the shoreland zone t
a Please provide a map of the shoreland zone for Lake Riley
b Please indicate which regulatory agency determined that there are no
additional requirements due to a portion of the project being within the
shorthand zone Please provide related documentation of this determination
3 Appendix B SAW Item 17 page 8 states project impervious surface will increase
6 9 acres from existing 7 8 acres impervious to 1 4 7 acres impervious
a Has consideration been given to Low impact Development LID practices to
decrease the amount of additional impervious project area There appear to
be several project areas that may lend themselves to the use of pervious
paverneril For example pervious pavement could be used for the new
Paul Oehme P E
City of Chanhassen
August 24 2011
Page 2 of 3
recreational trails throughout the project area The new parking lot in the
Park could also be a reasonable use of pervious pavement
4 Appendix B SAW Item 17 page 8 states drainage system improvements will
consist of replacing or extending existing culverts installation of new storm sewer
systems and installation of three wet sedimentation ponds and possibly a filtration
basin to treat runoff prior to discharge
a Figure 4 shows location of wet sedimentation ponds but does not show
location of filtration basin Please provide additional information on
infiltration basin basis of design design tributary area size and location
b I lave project plans progressed such that a stormwater drainage plan is
available to review If so please provide the stormwater drainage plan for
review
c As stated 0 8 acres of the project area will not be routed to storm water
ponds but will be routed to vegetated ditches Please provide information
and data that shows the level of treatmemtexpcctedun these ditches Please
also provide the calculations model results that show how hydraulics will
be addressed by these ditches
5 Please provide plans and related information thatshows describes how the
wetlands ponds lake and other water bodie in the area will be protected during
construction
Regarding one of the stated goals of the study to provide transportation solutions that
A minimize environmental impacts consideration should be given to other concepts such as
infiltration of storm water at the source using LID infiltralion mean such as rain gardens
permeable pavement or infiltration swaks These LID practices can slow down and
infiltrate stormwater at the source thus possibly helping to achieve the intended objectives
by decreasing stormwater runoff i lave such approaches been considered The District
encourages the use of LID practices As such the District has a Municipal Roadway Grant
program for projects such as this This Program makes available up to 550 in funding or
in kind services for the inclusion of LID design components

We have been residents on 101 and Foxford Rd for 23 years and would be greatly devastated by the removal of
1000 plus trees The reason we have been paying exorbitant taxes for the duration has been the tranquility and
wildlife that abounds on our property in taking clown 1000 plus trees this will no longer exist t have
personally been in a crash on 101 that totaled my car and ant in full support of the safety reasons for
straightening the road but there is absolutely no need for a 4 lane parkway

For all my life I ve lived ht my beautithl neighborhood l have always felt so safe and secure in any
neighborhood With the removal of all these trees and disturbing all of the peace we ve been creating for over 20
years is something that truly saddens me
Not only to me but to many others we call this place home and as soon as all ofihcw changes are made it
won t seem like bume anymore Also many of my neighbors and I would love to keep our homes the way it is
Especially since 1 haven t thought of there being a problem with the road the whole 18 years i ve lived here The
road is not busy therefor not needing four lanes and there has not been many crashes only n couple throughout
the year mostly in the winter And in the winter there are crashes drifting and all sorts ofvehicie damage done
all over
Highway 101 and Pioneer Trail Is what I have known my whole life I would like to keep everything the way l
is and somehow make a more safe and more reasonable alternative
Thank ypu fox your time
With All God s Blessing 3

Re Input response to Environmental Assessment and Section 4 F Evaluation SP 194 01P 011
i We are writing this letter in regards to the road improvementproject of TH 101 from CSAH 18
to CSAiH 14 We are requesting that the designers of the project work more closely with the
community to create a proposal that will address the safety and connectivity issues while taking
into consideration the environmental Impact and preserving the natural beauty of the area As
residents of the city of Chanhassen and property owners directly affected by the project we
would like to express our concerns and request alternative or additional plans related to the
environmental impact of the project
The project has been presented as a measure to 1 improve safety for people along the existing
TH 101 corridor 2 improve capacity and connectivity for people and goods along the TH 101
corridor and 3 provide transportation solutions that minimize environmental impacts
Our concerns regarding the proposal relate mainly to the environmental impact of the project and include the
Presentation of onlyone proposal with exclusion of viable alternatives Lack of support justify the need for such an extreme increase in the size of the
roadway 6 97 acres of imp eableasphalt in a 1 mile road project creating significant
run pff i siii es
Destruction of natlye prairie wildlife shelterand natural sound barriers without documented plans for replacement
Lack of support far the need of two bike pa hsahat widen the road and resuit in the
need for additionaf right of ways from residential properties
Three proposed holding ponds requiring new right ofways from residential properties to address run off Issues Safety of the holding ponds that will be adjacent to the bike trail walking path and
situated in propertyowners yards
Lack of a plan to add ress the maintenance of the holding ponds to control insects
odors and infectious plant growth
Removal of over 1000 mature trees from a scenic section of roadway
Lackof consultation coordination with city arborist regarding city ordinances related to
new projectdevelopment Exclusion from the proposal of a plan for replacement of trees and landscaping to create
a yisual apd or sound barrier between residences and the impending roadway through
23
enforcement of the city ordinance Chapter 18 Article IIi Section 18 61 intended to
address the preservation of trees
increased noise level for the residence with removal of the natural sound barrier
Increased air and noise pollution with widening of roadway allowing accessibilityfor
larger and more vehicles tress and vegetation are efficient and cost effective means to
Improve air quality and help reduce run off and topsoil erosion
Maintenance and enforcement of the 40 MPH speed limit the improved elevations and
straightened curves will encourage higher speeds larger vehicles and greater amounts
of traffic
Lack of consideration for decrease in property values due to the issues associated with
development of a major roadway increased traffic noise maintenance expenses etc
Lack of communication of the project to all city residence limited public awareness
The goals of the study as defined in the document have not been fully met The goals for safety
and connectivity have been addressed in thesingle proposal that has been offered to the
community Thethird goal has not been adequately addressed for reducing the environmental
Impact of the project The level of concern and questions for the current plan and the expense
of the project 2 57 million to the local residents underline the importance of developing a
plan that the community can support in making Chanhassen a place to call home
We are asking that additional plans be developed collaboratively with the community and that
a broader base of people outside of those directly affected be asked for input and consensus
decision making on the best solution to make the road safer and preserve the natural
landscape beauty

Thank you for the time you spent with Carol and I this past week It was good to have questions
answered and to see with two other pairs of eyes the possibilities
Of course you would know that I m completely against the total reconstruction of 101 and sincerely hope
that there will be a middle ground that will be comfortable for us all
The private property protected wetlands to the side of Pioneer Trail may be a side issue but possibly not
In speaking with several neighbors both on 96th St Pioneer Trail and others east of 101 I found that
this has been a troublesome issue for many and for a long time It has been addressed many times A without resolution You stated that putting a holding pond in that area would be the most cost effective
and sensible solution but all other possibilities must be exhausted first More and more water Is being
dumped in that area properties are useless to the owners since we are prohibited from making any
Improvement for ourselves It feels like we ve had land stolen or at least borrowed without being asked
Could we please discuss the option of using land that is already holding the excess water to create a
proper container It appears from listening to others that you would have little opposition to that
solution
Thank you again for your attention

Is there a way we can satisfy both safety and beauty i am wdtirig to ask you to consider more than one option

withouj completely destroying the trees and surrounding neighborhoods I have only seen one proposal to date

Mr Ochmc
1 spoke with you at a TH101 P Joat open house addressed the City Council earlier
title month and am now putting my remarks in writing although there is nothing in
here you haven t already hear4l
I understand most of the project s goals and in fact agree with the majority of them
I clearly am the benefit of moving the Bandimere Park access
I clearly seethe benefit of straightening the road as much as possible and
I clearly seethe bartefit of loveling the road
Where we diverge is on the benefit of widening the road to five lanes particularly when
one considers P1 of the costs something which 1 don t believe has been adequately
done yet
Please note that I am not talking only about the dollar co to build the road at 5
lanes rather than say 3 There is also eonalderablo non doll cost to
landownere In terms of noise traffic especially me lose character of the
neighborhood and likely a loss of property value when the entire neighborhood becomes loss attractive
Thud I see GREAT cost us ALMOST NO benefit to the extra lance the five lane
freeway just cannot be justified at tWe time
I wish to emphasize that I am nefther a wild eyed tree hugger nor a NIMBY my goal is NOT to stop the entire projeetdcad 1 am willing to compromise on the design alter
natives as long as there are more than no build and 54ane freeway to choose from
So what do I request from tits City Exploro additional alternatives Here s a few
questions that might help
If the toad could be narrower for now perhaps it could be even straighter with a
conacqucat reduction in environmental impact
Do we really need a 10 foot bike path on both aides Removing the path on the
east side our aide is an inconvenience for only 4 properties Could the project be dgne in multiple phases My understanding is that the
follow up project that part of 101 south of Pioneer Trail is a l0000ng way in
the future Can we have a Phase I that reaps the benefit of straightening and
leveling and hold off on building a freeeway until the ENTIRE rout is ready
Thankyou foryour consideration and we look forward to working with you on a
mutually agreeable design

Dear Mr Oehme and Chanhassen City Council Members
this loiter is in regards to the project TH 101 CSAH 18 Lyman Blvd to CSAH 14 Pioneer Trail
We have owned our residence in Lakc Riley Woods neighborhood for nineteen years now Our property boarders the intended road improvement project
From out of our back window l have witnessed a number of accidents that were directly related to the waaknoss of the cnginoering design of the current highway I am concerted for the safety of my family and friends while using that highway 1 would suspect that tto majority of neighbors in his area would like to see improvements to tine many hnutrdous turns and blind shots in the Hwy 101 roadway
Oa the other hand all of the ponds lakes marshes mid woodlands in this area make this a very beautiful place to Jive and raise a fainily Many of the neighbors in the area have spent a great doat of time and money to enhance the natural beauty of dtls area The stretch of highway 101 between Hwy 212 and pioneer Trail may be one of the city s most scenic drives
I have studied the proposed plan and have great concerns that while solving most of the safety concerns it will the nature and environment in that area The plan is far excessive and I linajdne costly to salve safety And traffic concorns that currently exist Much of rho wetlands and woods will be destroyed A sfmilar designed exit is just hort distanc to west aad would appear to address at1 the current and futin traffic volumes that come off Hitry 312 d Pioneer trail W1ten I A have driven of fthe rowers exit there is always very modest traffic Wits let roadway To build another four lano highway just a short distance W the chat does not seem to ake sense
One clear example of the excess of the plan is to have a walking and bike trail on both sides of the highway This means another 15 to 20 fret of width that needs to come out of someone s home or our wooded B wooded property and wetlands
1 would appreciate you giving more consideration to a road project that conforms with the environment mid scope of borhood x ists there

We have a few concerns about the TH101 Improvements from Lyman Blvd to Pioneer Trail While we
agree with the goals of Improving safety for people along TH101 such as fixing the steep grades and
sharp horizontal curves we question the idea that a four lane divided highway with bike paths on both
sides is also needed Could a two lane hwy with turn lanes and one bike path meet the goals A two
lane hwy with turn lanes and a single bike path would do less damage to the environment and not
completely destroy the natural beauty of the neighborhood of which we have all worked hard to create
The natural beauty that brought us here in the first place will disappear when all of the trees are
removed and rim off ponds are created for the 4 lane hwy turn lanes and two bike paths Why must we
lose so many trees Will anyJail be replaced We definitelysee this as a detriment to the environment
Another concern we have is the new noise pollution that will be created when the project is done Noise
levels will increase and we will not be able to have our windows open In the summer nor will we be able
to sit in our backyard and carry on a conversatlon due to the noise What will be done about the
Increased noise Will iterms walls be built Our next concern is aboutthe Increase in air pollution Has
the air quality been tested What is the projected increase due to the new hwy What will be done to
Insure we are breathing in clean air We would also like to know if the speed limit for hwy 1 01 will be
Increased Finally we are concerned about our property values Our properties will decrease in value
with a new 4 ianq hwy will taxes be adjusted accordingly if 4 lane hwy 201 Is constructed
Hwy 101 is the prettiest most natural stretch of road in Chanhassen and we do not want that
destroyed

RE TH10f from CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard to CSAH 1 4 Pioneer Trail
Dear Mr Oehme and City of Chanhassen Officials
I am waiting on behalf of the Lake Riley Woods Homeowners Association to comment on this project
We are pleased that the City of Chanhassen supports improving the safety of this segment of TH1O1 and look
forward to trave0ag on asafer road The safety concerns are valid
At the same time wewere shocked to learn about the extent to which these road changes will destroy a large
section ofthe natural beauty that Is defining charactedstic of this area As it exists today this stretch of toad is
o ne of the most beautiful roadways in Chanhassen
More specifically our concerns are as follows A
More than 1A00 trees will steed to be clear cut in order to make room for the expanded roadway B
Noise levels are predicted to more than double Even though the new noise levels are within federal 0 guidelines you will be tuming a quiet neighborhood into a noisy one D A large holding pond will be buik inout davelopmem taking over 14 of onb property alone
Several neighbors will lose land due to the extent of the project
When the City was In a dispute with Don Halla over the size and functionality of his sign a City representative told
our community that it Is Important to preserve the character of this part of Chaniassee The trees and natural
beauty of the drive along 101 as it currently exists are also partof the character or this area and need to be
protected as well
Another stated goal of this project is to provide transportation solutions that minimize environmental impacts We
feel strongly that the City needs to more aggressiveiy look for ways to minimize the environmental impact of this
project
A better design solution for this project we believe may include the following
Keep the roadway at two lanes versus rote This will help preserve the rural character of this part or
Chanhassen and save over 1 010 trees other roadways in Chanhassen that can support
conneesfrty with other communities including Powers Boulevard less than it mile away
Stay with one bike path versus two The current path receives little use and eliminating a path on one side S
of the road would significantly reduce the trees and property that need to be removed and altered as a result
Change the grade to the road as planned Improving the sightlines will be a welcome change and will make
TH 101 a safer road
The LRWHA looks forward to working with the City to Rnd a more acceptable solution for all of us Please feel free
to reaclt out via emaii or phone to discuss further dukez angig rnm 9529M 1260

Hi Paull
Just a quick note to relay our concerns for the Highway Project
The elevation of the intersection should not be raised The reason being that our IA
property and neighboring properties will be adversely affect because of additional noise and i
visibility
The hill to the south should be cut down instead of raising the intersection That
would provide noise abatement for people in that neighborhood
we have drain tile that surfaces at the intersection that could be affected with B
the change of elevation

Dear Mr Cwhme
I sincerely appreciate the focus on the stretch of Highway 101 between Lyman and
Pioneer trail The proposal as is while effective in improving sightlines and grades is
ovcrdesigued This project has become a fundamental flaw in budgeting we arc getting
this design because it is the scot road we could get for the money
I The four lane will dead end at Pioneer Trail there is no certain action to take
down the bluffs as indicated in the project s egccutive summary Pioneer to
Creekwood Medium Priority Crockwoodto old 212 Low priority
2 The west bike path and tunnel create no now utility At Lyman these are already
crosswalks in use to connect the 101 Lyman pathways
3 If the City has information regarding development this project is designed to
assist please include it in future communications as it is difficult to sec where the
development will eomc that requires we Accomodate regional and local
transportation needs of anticipated population and employment growth in the TO
lot corridor by itcreasing traffic capacity Project Newsletter 2 June 2011
4 It is noted that ihe project inch tdas extension of the trunk water main
5 Feeder traffic from 169 West ofShakopce will be lessened if tho State builds the
new Highway 41 crossing between 212 and i69 Anecdotal evidence suggests traffic from Jordan and west already advantages 212 via the Hwy 25 River
Crossing in Jordan to County l 1 near Carver
b Improved gupde sigbt lines and turn lures will increase etllclency of tralllc
movement rxeatiug less stopping and starting allowing better flow and better
metering from traffic lights without adopting a 442ac strategy The improved
two lane can be a functional metered reliefartcry with increased safety
It is agreeable that that the grade and sightlines be improved however a 4 lane divided
highway is beyond acceptable in this residential area The increased need in storm water
management is a byproduct of the overbuilt design that increases hard scapc The west
h bike pat and associated pedestrian tunnel will not increase utility of the park The
project will dead end at Pioneer Trail creating limited increase in utility connecting the
old 212 and new 212 I encouragetlxs final design to be less iat scope than it is currently
Very truly yours

B On behalf of my household I d like to express our worry and concern over the TH101 from CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard to CSAH 14 Pioneer Trail proposed road project that is currently In its planning and design stage We are worried about the environmental Impact that your latest design will have on our beautiful community We moved out to Chanhassen in 2007 all the way from Maple Grove because we felt that this area offered
C both the privacy and seclusion of country living and the convenipnoe of the city One of the features we love
most about living here is the quiet untouched feel of such a beautiful place
ID We agree that work should be done to help make Hwy 101 more safe however we strongly disagree on the A extent to which the project is being taken A sidewalk on both sides of the street seems completely
unnecessary Also extensive grade changes may not be necessary either The problem is in the sharp curves I E of the road Why not straighten out the road a bit but leave the natural grade and most importantly replace B any trees that are taken in the now path We feel that the large four lane Powers Blvd close by serves larger trucking traffic and fast traffic Given this it would be a shame to convert the beautiful strip of 101 to another
industrial loud highway

With regards to the proposed Hwy 101 expansion from Lyman Blvd to Pioneer Trail I would first like to say that 1 have
no issue nor disagreement with the concept that Hwy 101 could and should be improved Fixing the sharp curves and
turns should help the run off accidents and perhaps if correctly designed unlike the intersection of Powers and
Lyman could reduce the higher accident frequency at the Intersections as well
However I seriously question the need for the overall magnitude of the project Do we really need or can we justify
another 5 lane freeway to nowhere Until there is a plan for the over the bluff Hwy 101 improvement and a final
decision on the new river crossing bridge location why build 5lanes to Haila It s less than a half mile from Powers A
Blvd a Vane underused feeder road This whole project seems like the perfect example of over engineering and
poor stewardship of taxpayers money
in general I support improvements w the Highway 101 corridor for safety and efficioncy reasons but would
like submit the following commcuts for consideration
1 It appears that this project will have a dramatic effect on the character of the roadway especially in
regards to die loss of trees TH 101 is one of the most beautiful sections of roadwayin the entire
southwest metro area and its charactcr will be soroly misscd by local residenis and visitors Mike Please
attempt to reduce the number ortroes to be removed especially the large oaks
2 Please consider realigning our driveway and Mr Blanski swith the entrance to Wilson s Northwest
Nursery The new roadway will causc hardship with regards to snow renor 41 retrieval of mail on the
cast side of the road and access front the south if the driveway cannot be aligned with the Wilson
property entrance then please consider rebuikling the portion of the driveway connecting to the roadway
since the neiv alignment will result in an unacceptable steep grade on the approach This is especially an
issue in the wintertime for snow removal and general safety in slippery conditions
3 Please find an alternative to removing the trees an the cast side of the Blanlcsi proporty Loss of those
trees will diminish the value of both of our properti since it opens tip sight lines directly to the park
and roadway Removal of those trees will also increase noise levels
thank you for your consideration

The fact that the environmental assessmentdoes not even mention that hundreds of mature trees will be destroyed as al
result of this project makes me question the credibility of the entire report There is no discussion of the negative I 1 g
Impact of the holding ponds or the loss of forest The measurement of potential noise impact Is weak and
A misrepresented
As drawn this highway will destroy over 1000 mature trees along its 1 mile route There has been nothing discussed in
the plans about 1 compensating the landowners for the loss of trees and property value 2 providing relief such as
berms for the increased visual pollution and noise level that will obviously occur as a result of the tree removal 3
H providing replacement plantings for that loss
After surviving 25 years of progress in SW Eden Prairie I expect at a minimum thatthe City of Chanhassen would
support Its citizens by following Its own guidelines for developers That for each tree removed the developer must
plant two Secondly l would expect the city to require additional information for the Environmental impact C
C statement Specifically measure each and every tree that will be destroyed to determine dlameter inches for
replacement And provide this Information with nossible highway design attefnativ gs Such as 2lanes plus turn
lanes rather than 5 bike path on one side rather than on both sides etc and then measure the cost benefit of each
option
It Is highly probable that considering some design alternatives might give us what we all want a re graded safer
highway with better access points while keeping the beautiful tree lined character that it currently has without
destroying trees and property esthetics and values
Thank you for your consideration

Paul Ceintte Cllanhas elt City z1gineer Respectfully I want to forward my negative comments concerning the Highway 101 Project August 21 City of Chanhassen 2011 1 am not in favor of the project to continue as currently proposed 7700 Market Boulevard

Sigltahllc t c c
101 In southern Chanhassen This area of Chanhassen is one of the only areas that the City has not b 1 emulated into Eden Prairie and Hennepin County ty yet The reasons why most people moved to Chanhassen 20 25 years ago was because this area was quiet responsible and scenic while still close to
11103 Mesa the large metropolitan area Currently Highway 101 in southern Chanhassen is not a perfect road but 9410 Taxford Road an adequate road and from someone who drives the road each day is hardly encumbered by traffic even Chanhassen MN 55317 during the heavy commuter hours of the day
On a global scale other arteries nearby have been well constructed and provide principal access from I the South to the North West of here Highway 41 and its portal over the Minnesota River and
f
continuing with County Road 15 and its requisite Powers Blvd provide access to Highway 212 easily from
37
113
39
the South Neighbors of central Shakopee and others nearby obviously commute North and South along
Highway 101 each day For anyone to decide that this portion of road needs to provide additional
capacity In the magnitude considered apparently does not value the opinion of Its residents had not
considered the economic folly of this undertaking and finally does not appreciate how our Community
was again ranked among the top small towns In Minnesota and the U S
My opinion is to Improve the Highway but In a much smaller scale than what is currently under
consideration Specific recommendations are as follows
Maintain the current intersection configurations at Highway 101 and the Intersection of both
Pioneer Trail and Ayman Boulevard These intersections both provide turning lanes are both
recently Improved and rarely if ever cause traffic problems
Da not add two additional lanes along with turning lanes and a median and an additional
biking pedestrian trail along the project route
Add select turning lanes at W96 Street and Kiowa Trails Along with these tuming lanes in this
area strengthen and flatten the road by utilizing the area to the west of the existing road That
area would benefit from a more managed wetland area Consider that displacement of the
residents along the west side of the existing Highway 101 may provide positive benefit to the
residents themselves along with all others in the nearby area and the entire community
The road will require additional costs for construction over the current area of wetland between
W 9e Street and Kiowa Trails but the total cost of the project will be for less than the original
concept of the project
if the new road requires a vertical nor nearly vertical wall to support the current scenic area
where the bildrWpedestrian paths are located adjacent to the Kiowa Trail W 96th Street area
build a rock wall and increase the character of ihe area do not cut the trees down and fashion
the land with man made concrete poles and transplanted grasses
Maintain only one biking pedestrian trail along Highway 101 Use the currant trail along the
east side of the street with little change necessary
Finally please consider responsible engineering firms to design this roadway so that we do not
utilize the existing faulty subsurface conditions that cause heaving of the road each winter
I predict If the City would suggest the far simpler tens expensive and less intrusive project described
above it can still claim they have made an attempt at reduced crashes provided safe turning at
Intersections reduced sharp curves and steep grades and prepared for the future reconstruction of
Highway 101 south to Shakopee They can further boast that they utilized and considered the opinions
and suggestions from the local residents and still maintained and preserved Chanhassen s character
economy resources and safety

Mr Oheme i have tried to limit my following comments to areas discussed in the 101 EAIEAW
please forgive me if at times 1 have drifted astray
Pg 5 Net Benefits section Pgs 6 6 Where are the referenced blind trail crossings The only A
existing marked trail crossing In the construction area is at the intersection of 101 Pioneer Trail and
I it is hardly blind
C
Pg 6 AAOT traffic counts from 2008 do not reflect the resulting reduction in traffic volume on 101 e
that residents have observed after highway 212 was fully opened
E A Pg 6 A stated goal is to improve saii ty for residents along 101 How does it enhance the safety of myself and
my neighbor our children visitors delivery drivers and oncoming traffic if we am forced to stake a U turn
D each time we come or go is it environmemallysotmd to force drivers to waste gas and increase pollution
We are busy families with lots of comings and goings The proposed ten foot wide entrance is too narrow for
two cars to pass This choke point located at the base of a hill is inviting an accident especially during the
winter months No increased safety here
The now entrance when built as designed will result in an Increase to the driveways siope The existing
slope has been almost impossible to plow going up hill after a heavy storm The plow driver often bad to back
across the street into the neighbors driveway in order to get a run at it This will be impossible with a center C
median in place Whenplowing down hill the snow was placed on my lawn along 101 With this location given
to the highway what arc we to do Can t push it up or down
A much better alternative would be a design that allows us to share the wide entrance to Wilson
Nursery
Pg 7 Crash data for the period 2007 thru 2009 Has the data been reviewed to reflect the recent D
improvements to include resurfacing curb and gutter section guard rail installation and the traffic
signal at Pioneer Trail
114
Pg 12 Usage It Is entirely possible that 50 000 or more use the park annually living across the street from the current entrance I see multiple vehicles carrying participants and their gear to sports events but I have never see anyone walking in from the west side with their gear to participate What study has been done to justify the need for a tunnel In this time offtlgh unemployment and budget deficits it seems Ilke a gigantic waste of monay If it Apes go forward I hope it Is designed so no surface drainage enters making it icy and dangerous anytime the temperature falls as is the case with the existing tunnel near St HuberPs Church
Pg 10 Trafflo noise it is stretching credibility to say that traffic noise will not substantially increase shc considering all the trees bus and brush that are to be removed hi this praject On my small property alone I have planted six parallel rows of bushcs across from the park entrance for noise mitigation The minimum
vegetation to be lost do my parcel is 5 Highbush Cianberry 14 Dogwood t2 burning bush 8 Spirea 75 Lilac g 20 Respberry 17 Sumac 2 Maples 2 green Ash 1 Ponderosa pine I Basswood 2 White Spruce 43 Elm and 4 Large Oaks all over a century old and a multitude of random growth bustics trces and grasses It brings me to
tears to see these and other roadway trees go It changes the character ofthe entrance to Chanhassen dramatically Sad in nay opinion negatively The foliagealong this route helps reduce vehicle emissions through earbon exchange and should bean environmental consideration
Appendix 8 Pg 8 The first paragraph begins There are no steep slopes or highly erodible soils present within the project site This statement is negated by Appendix D Pg 2 where it states In part that Impacts to watiand five have been reduced significantly by using steep side slopes And again G in Appendix H Pg 8 wtx rc it speaks of steep slopes and the adjacent TH 101 right of way Also the need for the planned retaining walls provides obvious evidence for the occurrence ofsteep slopes being exposed during construction A cynic might say the reasontbrtlte first sentence is that someone does not want to design and pay for a lot ofBMP S

RE TH101 from CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard to CSAH 14 Pioneer Trail
Paul
From the big picture of this project I am glad to hear that we will have a safer road I m looking
forward to improved sightlines along that stretch of road
However the current design goes far beyond what Is required to improve the safety of TH 101 1
am surprised that City Staff and the City Council would promote and support a project that
would destroy so much of the natural beauty of this part of Chanhassen This indeed is one of
the most beautiful drives In Chanhassen
More specifically l am concerned about the following
More than 1 000 trees will be clearcut to make room for the expanded roadway
Noise levels are pro dlcted to more than double Even though the new noise levels are
within federal guidelines you will be turning a quiet neighborhood into a noisy one
While connectivity is a goal of this project there already is a majorimproved road close to
us lowers How many major arteries do we need
A large holding pond will be built in our development taking over ot one property
Several neighbors wilt lose land due to the extent of the project
I will lose 44 acres which includes part of a restored pralrte that took over 19 years to
develop to its current slate as a mature prairie
My understanding Is the majority of this area 44 acres will be a temporary easement that
will be used to mate gradual grade from my property down to the road This Jsn t assimple
as stripping the land then reseeding with bluagrass Besides that expanse of professionally
preparing then reseeding with both grasses and flowers It will take severai years of
professional rnalnOrlance until that area of prairie is back 02 where kwag
I invested thousands of dollars in site preparation seeding and professional annual
maintenance to bring our prairie to its current state of development Will the City of
Chanhassen make the same investment over several years to restore what will be destroyed
When the City was in a dispute with Don Halle over the size and functionality of his sign a City
40
representative told us that it is important to preserve the character of ihts part of Chanhassen
The trees and natural beauty of the drive along 101 as it currently exists are also part of the
character of this area and needs to be protected as well
Twenty years ago when one of my neighbors wanted to get his occupancy permit from the City
of Chanhassen he was told by a member of Staff that he needed to plant a tree before he
would receive the permit My neighbor thought the staff member was kidding He wasn t Isn t it
Ironic that today on the other side of the very same development the City sees no problem in
clear cutting all of the trees bordering the same properties
I feet strongly that the City needs to more aggressively look for ways to minimize the
environmental impact of this project
I believe that a better design solution is as follows
Keep the roadway at two lanes versus four This will help preserve the rural character of
this part of Chanhassen and save over 1 000 trees There are other roadways in
Chanhassen that can support connectivity with other communities
Stay with one bike path versus two The current path receives little use and eliminating a
path on one side of the road will significantly reduce the trees and property that need to be
removed and or altered as a result
This project feels over the top over engineered and wasteful to me Either save the excess
I funding or put it to better use in generating Jobs
A
Change the grade to the road as planned improving the sighdines will the a welcome
B change and will make TH 101 a safer road
C I I look forward to working with the City to find a more adaptable solution for all of us

Dear Mr Paul Oehme and Others Involved with the 101 Project
Where to begin First we need to find a better way to make sure persons impacted by the project for SURE I A
get the notice of the hearing if you talk to people on West 90 Street most did not get the notice or we
would have been there in force
I have attended the meetings In the past and would have attended this one If we would have known about it
After reading the Villager and the minutes it is sound like all the other meetings In the past concerns are

a
shared but It stills goes ta what the city planned In the first place Let s see some changes made that the
people have expressed from the August 8 2011 City Council Meeting
You were talking about the topography and Paul Oehme mentioned the area Is high at the intersection of 96
Street How is this different then it is now It s a terrible turn out of 96 because of the hill and the curve C
Jamie Heilichertalked about Klowa As a taxpayer why do we need to wait on the Kiowa to Springfield It
really shouldn t be a completely separate Item The intersection and wetlands is a big Issues and could save money and wetlands This street was never meantto be a cui de sacs
Dan Horsfail brought up many great points and is backed by a number of people I have talked to I feel if you
throw out the plan for a three lane vs five lanes It would be more pleasingto everyone involved save money make the road safer if still leveling and straightening the road and give the same benefits needed for this
area The trail on the northwest side of Pioneer Trail Is definitely is needed We are trapped on our street
You have a street with 16 kids a daycare and no way to get across 101 without putting our lives in danger I
walk in the mornings and 1 am scared crossing the road image a kid crossing with you and freezes when
crossing because they see a car This happened to our neighbors Does a child need to get killed before we
have a trail on our side When you get to the trall on the east side it takes you Into the woods and you feet
like you are up north because of the beautiful tall pine trees if you haven t walked this trail before you really
should to understand the beauty of it 1 have friends from the city drive out here and every single one
comments on how beautiful it is here by our road Let us keep the beauty and get rid of the thoughts that we
need wider roads and more noise We got the noise from 212 we do not need more
Last I would like to ask you to put your feet in all of our shoes if you lived in one of these houses on or near
101 would you want a five lane road that leads to Mai la Would you want all these majestic trees taken so
your city looks like every other city around us OR Do you want an area people talk about and know to be part
of your city

This is concerning the 101 Project
I have noticed that the County 1014i9ns changed to State Highway 101 Does this have to do with
receiving any money to improve this roadway The reason I ask is I don t see that this highway is busy enough to warrant hardly any changes So why would money be spent on a project that isn t needed
Especially In today economy I would like to know who Is behind this change
We have Powers Blvd which has been leveled and is baron It Is a greatthru street to 212 Trucks or
cars can easily use this road If the weather is bad
I realize 101 can be a bit treacherous In the winter but the scenic aspect is the best in the City This
road Is a part of the unique piece of our City that I feel shouldn t change If anything put Ina middle
lane for turns lanes So only 3 lanes wide would be the only change I would approve
If you pass what your suggestion was for a Slane highway this only encourages trucks and many more
cars to use this roadway We can hear the noise from 212 so I can t even imago if the noise level could
double how this beautiful serene area will be destroyed with noise pollution and traffic
We moved to Chanhassen 20 years ago We have 2 5 acres and a few of my neighbors will lose a
significant portion of their land If you know anything about our neighborhood you would know that our
39 homes are very unique due to the acreage and lovely foliage we all have all planted over the years
We are all concerned for the noise level and traffic levels this will bring to our neighborhood We all
stick together pretty well as neighbors and fight for what we feel Is destroying our beauty that we all
bought into We have already noticed the speed limit increased Smiles per hour north of 212 on
Highway 101 and we are also afraid this will happen once you make it a 5 lane road
I am definitely opposed to this change and I hope you consider what beauty our neighbors have brought to this part of Chanhassen and how quickly you could ruin Itl
Thank you for hearing me out

Dear Mr Ochme and Chanhassen City Council Members
This letter is in regards to the project TH 101 CSAH 18 Lyman Blvd to CSAH 14 Pionecr rrail It was very enlightening to be a part of the August 8 City Council s Public hearing on this manner I
would like to address your goals as stated in your plan
Goal l Intiprove safety for tmfflc and people along rli a T11 It corridor tritile miuinalying envirounicu l Impacts 1 agree with the nods for improving safety along this road to benufla our community A
Goal 2 Improve capacity and connectivity for people and goods along the TH lot corridor
I question the need to improve capacity along the 101 corridor in the extent that is proposed without a
future plan for 101 south of Pioneer Trail Your plan is a 5 Line highway dropping south onto a road
that is significantly more dangerous than the northern section I work in Shakopee and commute south B on 101 from Pioneer Trail on a regular basis Now this southern section is a definite safety concern
even at present Increasing Hway 101 truffle north of Pioneer Trail will only further increase traffic
traveling south Has that safety impact been considered Any future potential modifications south
would require even more significant funding road modifications and not to speak of it s environmental
impact Consideration of further lorry term goals and planning of hiway 101 in its entirety into
Shakopee needs to be considered
Goal 3 Provide transportation solutions that minimize environmental impacts I have grave concerns of the present proposal s maximal not minimal environmental impact Minimizing environmental impact is listed in the first and third goal ct question the full sincerity and
consideration within the proposal Your acceptable noise level increase is not acceptable to those
who live in this community Add to the unacceptable impac is the damage that will be done to our
existing prairie which had been planted and is maintained b Prairie Restorations Perhaps you needed C
to be reminded once again of tic significant tree removal in our area and in our community This
corridor is a beautiful entryway into Chanhassen Your proposal will strip this all awav lfyour goal is
indeed to minimize the environmental impact further options need to considered A part ofthis
plan needs to address specifically what the plan is financially and esthetically to replace what will be taken away from our community if the goal is truly to minimize environmental impact
The present option is not an acceptable option Presently 4 seems it is the only option I appreciate the
extent of the research that tuts been done to this point Beyond the research there is the need to pause D
and address improved options forachieving your stated goals 1 play that our concerns are seriously considered and addressed Please consider what truly is best for all ofus who live work and support ibis beautiful Chanhassen community
Respectfully

Comment 50 The Twin Cities Master Water Supply Plan identified a number of issues that
need to be addressed if water appropriations increase within the boundaries of the city Response No changes in water appropriations are included as a part of these improvements A construction dewatering permit will be obtained by the contractor if needed for construction of
the roadway or utilities
Comment 5D Council staff recommends use of curb 5524 instead of curb B624 to minimize
potential impact on turtle movements Response Comment noted The curb design will be evaluated as a part of the final design
process for the project
Comment 5E The EA EAW provides conflicting statements regarding steep slopes and highly
erodible soils The EAW should be revised to be consistent with erosion concerns described in
the EA
Response Page 8 of 28 of the EAW incorrectly noted there were no steep slopes in the corridor Steep slopes are present within the project area The other statements in the EA and EAW Page 11 of 28 of the EAW and page 5 of 19 of the EA correctly identify the steep slopes in the corridor These slopes are the cause for some areas to have a moderate risk of soil erosion which
would be addressed through standard erosion control measures
6 Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek WD Comment 6A Please provide a copy of the wetland boundary delineation Response The wetland boundary has been delineated and reviewed with the Technical Evaluation Panel The delineation report will be provided at the time the permit application is
prepared
Comment 6B Please provide a shoreland zone map for Lake Riley and indicate who determine
that no additional requirements are needed Response Shoreland Zone Map is provided in Exhibit A City Code governs the shoreland criteria Chapter 20 Article VII and there are no additional requirements that have not or will not be met by the storm water system design and erosion and sediment control practices to be
employed during construction activity
Comment 6C Has consideration been given to LID practices to decrease impervious surfaces
Response Yes LID practices have been considered throughout development of the preliminary design process The green areas in the park entry and parking lot area may be used for infiltration filtration systems e g rain water gardens and the extent of infiltration that may be obtained will be determined in the final design process Pervious pavement was specifically
considered in some areas including the parking lot and the use of porous pavement in the parking
stall portions of the entry will be evaluated further during the final design stages However at this stage of the design the more cost effective approach to obtaining the required treatment was to use wet ponds for the roadway segments and rain water gardens in the areas surrounding the park
entry drive and parking areas
Comment 61 Please provide additional information on infiltration design storm water drainage
plan and hydraulic modeling for vegetated ditches Response The filtration basin would be located in the park entry area The exact location will be refined during the final design stages and the level of infiltration filtration that might be obtained will be refined as the design advances and after site specific soils information is obtained for the final location of this these feature s A drainage memo has been completed for the preliminary design and can be provided to the watershed Other details regarding storm water design and

8 through 19 and 22
Comment 8A Alternative plans need to be developed and presented that will address all of the
project goals including minimizing the environmental impacts to the landscape Response The purpose of the project is to improve traffic safety capacity and connectivity issues on TH 101 between Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail in the City of Chanhassen As outlined in the City s May 2007 Corridor Scoping Study and the Draft EVEAW the City has looked at other alternatives to address the project purpose and need The other alternatives were determined to have greater environmental impacts than the preferred alternative The City will continue to work with individual property owners during final design to further try to minimize impacts to trees and property
Comment 813 Reconsider the impact of the proposed design that will improve roadway safety while preserving the character of the surroundings
Response The City has considered a narrower roadway cross section a two lane design section instead of a four lane section Looking only at capacity and traffic volume projections a two lane design is nearly at maximum capacity by year 2030 As a result the 2007 corridor study determined that a four lane section was appropriate for this segment and the segment to the south to meet long range regional capacity needs Additionally when comparing the impacts of a two lane roadway cross section with the needed turn lanes and trail to the four lane section the impacts were not substantially smaller with a two lane section Thus the City believes the four lane project with minor adjustments to the design to minimize tree impacts is the alternative that best meets the project purpose with minimal impacts
20 Pam O Neill
Comment 20A The commentor is opposed to the removal of more than 1 000 trees and does not believe there is a need for a four lane parkway
Response See responses to Comment 8A and B regarding alternatives The number of trees that will be removed will be minimized to the extent possible through final design refinement and coordination with property owners The exact number of trees to be removed has not been
quantified

Comment 21A Commentor does not see there is a crash issue and would like to keep
everything the way that it is and somehow make it safer with a more reasonable alternative
Response The City cannot make the meaningful safety improvements by making no changes
The crash statistics were provided in the Draft EA EAW documenting the need for safety
improvements In order to correct the horizontal and vertical alignment deficiencies alignment
shifts are required which will result in some impacts outside the existing right of way The City
has and will try to minimize these impacts through its final design process
CITIZEN AND CITIZEN GROUPS
23 Douglas and Rebecca Duchon
Comment 23A Draft EA EAW only presents one alternative
Response See response to Comments 8A and B The state EAW and federal EA environmental
review process typically evaluate one alternative that has been selected based on the project
purpose and need and an alternatives evaluation process that is a precursor to the EA EAW
evaluation The appropriate process has been followed for this project
Comment 2311 Notes there is a lack of support to justify expanding roadway creating
significant runoff issues
Response As noted in response to Comment 61 low impact development concepts will be
considered during final design to reduce storm water runoff from this project In addition three
stormwater ponds are proposed to attenuate downstream runoff rates to be less than or equal to
current rates
Comment 23C Destruction of native prairie wildlife habitat and natural sound barriers without
replacement
Response The City will work with property owners to identify replacement options for lost
prairie and trees
Comment 231 There is a lack of support for two parallel trails
Response As noted by the Metropolitan Council in Comment 513 the trail being added to this
corridor is to comply with the Carver County 2030 Comprehensive Plan for the TH 101 Regional
Trail connection This trail has regional significance and will serve a regional connection that
extends beyond the local residents
Comment 23E Concerned with addition of storm ponds which will require new right of way
from property owners and pose a safety and maintenance concern to residents
Response The ponds are designed with a safety bench shallow 10 1 slope below water line
The City will maintain the ponds to remove accumulated sediment Metropolitan Mosquito
Control will likely treat the ponds as needed for mosquitoes
Comment 23F See response to Comment 20A Concerned with the magnitude of tree loss and
lack of tree replacement plan required by ordinance for most development
Response The City will work individually with property owners to minimize tree loss and
relocate and or replace trees where possible
Comment 23G Concerned with potential for increased noise and air impacts due to loss of
trees
Findings of Fact and Conclusions TH 101 CSAH 18 to CSAH 14

122
Response Based on the air and noise analysis conducted for the project area the loss of trees
due to this project will have a negligible effect on the amount of noise or quality of the air within
the project area
Comment 23H Concerned that the improved road elevations and curves will promote higher
speeds and greater traffic
Response The project is not proposing to raise the posted speed limit on this roadway The
proposed design speed is 40mph
Comment 23I Concerned with the lack of consideration of decreased property values due to
increased noise and traffic
Response The project involves the improvement and long term maintenance of a trunk highway
that is being turned back to County jurisdiction as a minor arterial roadway Property values
currently reflect that TH 101 is a Trunk Highway with high traffic volumes The proposed
improvements do not change the functionality of the roadway
Comment 23J Concerned with lack of public communication to residents and request
additional input be requested from residents
Response The City will hold additional open house meetings for this project as it moves into
final design It will also meet with affected property owners to discuss impacts assessments and
compensation
Page 18 of the EAlEAW documents the public involvement activities held to date To date the
City has held two open house meetings and a public hearing has posted project information on its
website has distributed project information via two project newsletters and has held some
individual property owner meetings

Comment 24A The commentor notes that he is in favor of the project one life is worth more
than all the trees
Response Comment noted
25 Leslie O Halloran
Comment 25 A Concerned with the use of new right of way for storm ponds and suggests using
existing surface water areas
Response State and federal laws prohibit the discharge of storm water runoff into wetlands and
other surface waters without prior treatment Preliminary plans indicate the current size and
locations needed to meet local storm water treatment requirements These ponds will be refined
as final plans are developed and further discussions occur with the Riley Purgatory Creek
Watershed District regarding alternative storm water treatment options

123
Response See response to Comment 5B
Comment 27C Can the project be constructed in phases to delay the larger impacts until the southern leg south of Pioneer Trail is ready for improvements
Response The most significant project impacts are due to the realignment of the roadway to
address the existing horizontal and vertical alignment deficiencies and the construction of the
three stormwater ponds improvements that are required to meet the project Purpose and Need Building a two or three lane section now with expansion to a four lane section at a later date
would not significantly change the impacts and the future expansion of the roadway at a later date would be much more costly than building the four lane section initially
28 Thomas and Cheryl Jessen
Comment 28A Suggests that the parallel roadway of Powers Boulevard can adequately provide the capacity needed without the proposed improvements to TH 101

Response See response to Comment 29A
31 Gayle and Lois Degler
Comment 31 A The elevation of the intersection should not be raised as it will result in
increased noise and visibility to their property Suggests cut down the hill to the south instead
Response Various options have been evaluated during the preliminary design process regarding
the Pioneer Trail intersection An increase in elevation of up to seven feet was considered at the intersection to prepare for future TH 101 improvements south of Pioneer Trail The proposed
design includes an increase in elevation of approximately three feet to balance current impacts
with the need to provide for the future improvements
Comment 31B The commentor notes that they have drain tile that could be affected by the
intersection modifications proposed
Response The City will work with the property owners to determine the location and elevation
of the drain tile and to relocate or avoid it during construction
32 Rob Fugile
Comment 32A The four lane will end at Pioneer Trail with no certain action on the south
segment
Response The roadway is being designed to meet the needs of future traffic volumes in the area
and to accommodate future roadway improvements south of Pioneer Trail The proposed
improvements are necessary to address existing safety and capacity deficiencies regardless of what happens in the future south of Pioneer Trail
Comment 32B The new bike path and tunnel provide no new utility the existing trail is under used
Response See response to Comment 5B
Comment 32C Where will new development occur that will be generating the increase in
traffic
Response The increase in traffic is the result of general growth in the surrounding area as predicted by the Carver County Travel Demand Model
Comment 32D The project includes the extension of the trunk water main
Response Yes the utility improvements that can be made at the same time as the road
improvements have been incorporated into the plan in order to be cost effective rather than
having to remove the road surface at a future date to make the utility upgrades
Comment 32E Suggests that the proposed Highway 41 river crossing will reduced the need for
TH 101 improvements
Response The proposed improvements to TH 101 are necessary to address existing safety and
capacity deficiencies regardless of what happens with a new Highway 41 river crossing The
proposed new Highway 41 river crossing is not in MnDOT s 30 year construction plan

Response See response to Comment 20A
Comment 3411 Consider realigning the Paulson and Blanski driveways with the Wilson Nursery
driveway or regrading the proposed alignment due to steep grades and safety concerns in winter
Response The City will work with the property owners during the final design process to
address the driveway concerns The City prefers an option that includes the realignment of the
driveways to connect to the Wilson Nursery driveway
Comment 34C Please fmd an alternate to removing the trees on the east side of the Blanski
property as it will open sight lines to the park and roadway
Response The City will work individually with property owners to minimize tree loss and
relocate and or replace trees where possible The design team is reviewing options to shift or
realign the pedestrian underpass to decrease tree impacts
35 Kathy Horsfall
Comment 35A The project design seems over built Why are 5 lanes needed now
Response See response to Comment 8A and 8B
Comment 3511 The EA does not mention the loss of trees the impact of storm water ponds and
the measurement of noise impact is weak
Response The noise evaluation followed standard state and federal guidelines for
measuring modeling existing and projected noise impacts The results indicate an increase in
noise however that increase was below federal thresholds for noise impact The noise results are
shown in Tables 4 and 5 of the Noise Technical report and have been included in Appendix F of
this document
Comment 35C The EA EAW should discuss compensating landowners for loss of trees and
property value provide mitigation for visual and noise pollution and provide replacement tree
plantings
Response The City will coordinate with individual property owners regarding impacts to trees
and land The City will work with landowners to relocate trees or replace them to the extent
possible from the new right of way to their respective properties Noise mitigation is not required
for this project however the City will work with landowners to provide buffering and screening
as possible

38 David Blanski
Comment 38A Where are the blind trail crossings referenced on pages 5 and 6
Response The project need stated on page 5 of the EA was intended to reference the absence of
existing pedestrian crossings in the corridor except at Pioneer Trail Pedestrians that wish to cross to from the west side of TH 101 to the trail on the east side of TH 101 have poor sight distance due to the curves and elevation changes of the road for a safe crossing
Comment 38B The AADT traffic counts from 2008 do not reflect the reduction in volumes
experienced since the opening of TH 212
Response The future traffic forecast volumes that are the basis for the recommended
improvements do include US 212 as a four lane freeway in the project area
Comment 38C Concerned with right in right out driveway entrance and steep slope of driveway if constructed as designed
Response The City will work together with the three property owners at this location to try to develop an agreeable solution to property access modifications

service
CpL John Bramwoll Great thank you
Mayor Furlong Any questions for the Lieutenant this evening on the statistic report or anything else
Todd Gerhardt Could you give a little bit of an update on the Tour of tho Tooke race or ride
that went through Chanhassen
Lt JePPB o Well yeah we had the Tour de Tooke race which was Saturday It went off
without a hitch No problems It was a great event for the community and we coordinated it
well and them was no issues to it
Todd Gerhardt No feedback or traffic delays or anything like that
Lt Jeff Enevold I haven t heard anything no
Todd Gerhardt Okay great
Lt Jeff Bnevold Very good Mr Mayor council Thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you Lieutenant We also would receive normally a monthly update from
the Chanhassen Fire Department this evening One of the items in our consent agenda was to
approve the appointment of John Wolff as the new fire chief He s unable to be here tonight We
do have a report in our packet so I would ask if any members of the council have questions regarding that report we can direct them to Mr Gerhardt and either he ll have the answer or he
can get it So looks like we have a full compliment of fur fighters on the staff and with anew chief I m sure we ll hear from Chief Wolff now probably as part of the budget discussions
coming up In the next few weeks as well as at future meetings Anything also Mr Gerhardt
Todd Gerhardt Fire department participated in the National Night Out They did a great job We appreciate them taking that time along with all our department heads ibis year got out to
meet the public also What a great event It s key to have neighbors watching out for neighbors and what a great event and they do a fantastic job I had a rootbeor float that was great so
Mayor Furlong Very good thank you Let s move on to the next item on our agenda

Mayor Furlong The purpose tonight is for the council to receive comments is that correct
Paul Oehms That s correct
Mayor Furlong There will be no action taken this evening is that correct
Paul Oehme That s correct Just hold the public hearing
Mayor Furlong Great Let s start with the staff report please and background on the project and
other information Mr Oehme
Paul Oehme Sure we have a power point presentation dratted for you tonight for your review
and the public too but again staff would like to hold a public hearing for basically the
environmental aspect issues surrounding the 101 project Staff has been working on this project
for almost 9 years or 9 months now and this is kind of the culmination of tha project What
you re going to see tonight is basically the preliminary layout of the project Final design is not
anticipated to start until the and of the year or maybe even next year if the project troves forward
so with that I d like to have Jon Hornwith Kimley Hom and Associates give a brief presontation
on the project and then also Beth Kunkel the environmental person with Kimley Hom to update
us on their findings so
Jon Horn Good evening Mayor members of the City Council As Mr Oehms mentioned my
name is Jon Horn I m with Kimley Horn and Associates I m the project manager that s been
working with city staff as well as MnDOT and Carver County to lead some of your design
efforts for the 101 project A brief presentation we wanted to run through tonight again as Mr
Oehme stated the purpose for the meeting tonight is a public hearing specifically related to the
environmental document environmental assessment environmental assessment workshect or
132
Chanhassen CIty Council August 8 2011
EAMAW that s been prepared for the project Power point that we have tonight gives you a
little project background on the project I ll turn it over to Both Kunkel from my office who will
9 through the specifics ofthe environmental roview document and will walk you through kind ofthe next steps in how the process goes from here on out Project background this section is a section of 101 between Lyman Boulevard on the north and Pioneer Trail on the south Currently today it s a two lane undivided rural section roadway No carb and gutter A Iot ofvary steep grades Sharp curves A number o sight distance issues along the corridor all leading to crash rates that are higher than similar roadways of this nature More then 50 higher along this specific segment of 101 and similar two lane roadways around the metro area So the propose of this project is to hnp o grtraf f safety capacity and connec vIty issues on 101 again speniflaally between Lyman Boulevard and Ploneor T4 Some of the goats for the project Need to address thee safety detioienofes to reduce the crashes Add tam lanes at the intersection to provide for safer intersection movements Improve eight distance We re taking some of those aha r craves out and dips and drops in the aliFn of tha roadway Also working to improve capacity the area grows additional volumes are on Ibis piece roaday The goal to provide for those tratlio volumes en while we re doing that you really need to look for ways to minimize envhonmental impacts associated with the improvements so as we ve gone through the process and as Beth will talk about here in a minute in the environmental document we ve been looking for ways to avoid and minimize or mitigate those environmental documents And then also the project will require the acquisition of some right of way so we re looking for ways to try to minimize those right of way takings as well Want to talk a little bit about the public and agency involvement process This has really been a partnership between Chanhassen Carver County and MnDOT We ve had a project management team or PMT that we ve been working with here since last November I think was
our first meeting and generally monthly meetings to talk about the project and to try to come up with design solutions We ve also tried to get the public involved in the process We ve got a couple of printed newsletters that have gone out One back it November of 2010 and then one in June cf 2011 followed up by soma open house meetings Generally I think we got 15 to 20 people in attendance at both of those open house meetings with the primary purpose of just informing people about the project and really trying to understand what some of the concerns
are We did have some properties along the corridor that we wanted to talk to and we did not get representation at the public meetings We ve had a flaw a handful ofon site individual property owner meetings just to again reach out to the people in the corridor and try to understand what the concerns are And we have utilized the City s website as a mechanism to try to hare information to the public as well so we ve been trying to do our but to try to get information out and get comments as much as possible Tonight is really the next step in terms of understanding what those comments and eoncems are from the people in the project area Some of the things we ve heard to date there s Some pretty majestic trees and a lot of trees in the corridor so what
can we do to try to minimize impact to those A number ofpcople have expressed concern about sight distances and what aan we do to improve some of those intersections Buffering screening Is there some way since we are widening the roadway the roadway In some locations is getting closer to properties Is there some things we can do to provide some buffering screening berating of those properties And than construction phasing staging How s that going to work and how do we minimize impacts to properties during the construction process In terms of project schedule Mr Oehme touched on this briefly but we re really looking to try to get rho preliminary design process and the environmental process done here in 2011 with the goal of
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
moving forward with the final design in late 2011 or early 2012 Might of way acquisition
process would be in 2012 and then construction the majority which would occur in 2013
Possibly some in 2014 or maybe very late 2012 We re still working through the details on that
On the environmental document like I said Beth s going to go through the details on this but the
purpose ofthe envimtimen al document is to look at 0 the environmental issues along the
corridor and than to look at the preferred design alternative and understand what the impacts on
those environmental entities are as a part ofthe design process and as I said Beth will go through the details on that Environmental document looks at two alternatives The fast
alternative do nothing Basically leave the roadway the way it is today And then the preferred alternative which sees the two lane undivided roadway go to a four land divided roadway with a
comer median that adds 10 foot wide pedestrian trails along both sides ofthe roadway Would
have curb and gutter as we go from a Waal section ofroadway to an urban section roadway so
curb and gutte storm sewer and we re proposing 3 stormwater ponds It s also proposing for a
pedestrian safety perspective a tunnel under 101 generally in the vicinity of Bandimere Park to
provide for that pedestrian movement east to west without having an at grade crossing of the
roadway So a very big picture perspective This shows the proposed design On the left hand
side of this exhibit is Pioneer Trail On the right hand side is Lyman Boulevard You can see
we re stopping just short of Lyman Boulevard on the north end Basically tying into the segment of 101 that was built as a part ofthe Trunk Highway 212 project here recently So that s the
project and kind of narrowed it down in a little more detail I just want to go through some
specifics moving along the corridor from south to north so this is a blow up of the southerly most
part ofthe corridor right at Pioneer Trail Shows that we are doing some construction on Pioneer
Trail east and west of 101 as well as south on 101 That intersection today there s actually a
pretty steep grade across Pioneer Trail The purpose of these improvements is to get rid of that
steep grade Flatten it out Also to help prepare 101 for the future extenslon to the south at some day when that would occur Really trying to plan ahead and look at the design for what 101 may be south of Pioneer Trail at a future date Again moving to the north I m not in the vicinity of
96 Street A number of comments from residents along 90 Street about sight distance
challenges at that intersection so we ve been working to try to figure out the best design for that
It also shows a couple of stormwater ponds and I don t know if Paul you can maybe highlight those
PaulOebme Sure
Jon Hon One along the west side of 101 north of 9e Street 4s well as one on the south side of 9e Street on the east side ofthe roadway Those ponds wilt be the purpose of detaining storm
water Reducing runoff to it s current rates as well as treatment for that storm water prior to
discharge in some of the wetlands in the area Another comment 1 guess in this particular area a
number of concerns from property ownars along the east side of the roadway in terms of the
proximity of the roadway to the backs of their properties and the concern for screening Is there
some ability to do some berming buffering landscaping in this area Things that well be
looking for looking at closely as the project moves forward so how best to provide some of that
banning and buffering through that arcs Moving to the north the third storutwater pond as I
mentioned the three is actually at that location which is kind of tucked in between a couple of
wetlands That again is on the west side of 101 and now we re getting closer to the vicinity of Bandimere Park The existing fields for Bandimere Park just to the east side of the corridor A
133
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011 0
lot of effort through the design process to try to minimize or eliminate any impacts to the active
parts of the park We do have a retaining wall that s proposed to be constructed as Paul points
out there along the cost side of tho roadway to help minimize time impacts to Bandimere Park
And then moving to the north you were approaching the Lyman Boulevard A significant part ofthe project is the realignment of the access to Bandimore Park A lot of ooncoms about that
access and safety issues and sight distance issues there This basically shows the sliding of that
access driveway further to the north aligned generally with the Wilson s Landscaping access on
the west side of the roadway Re configuration of the access back around It actually required
the acquisition o a parcel of property of a residence actually at that location to allow that to
occur The underpass following the cursor around at that location and that s one that provides
that pedestrian connection across lot without an at grade crossing Some concerns about that in
particular the west side of tbat underpass crossing there s a number of trees in that location and
the possibility of reconfiguring that design to try to minimize tree impacts and again as the
project moves forward that s a concern that we would look at thither as we go through the
process With that we ll go through the details of the environmental document
Beth Kunkel As Jon pointed out we ve completed an EA and an EAW combined document for
the project Because the project has federally federal fluids intended to be used we have to
follow the federal process as well as the state process This list of impacts or issue areas is the
list that is addressed in both the state and the federal environmental review process So each of
these areas are covered in that document The areas highlighted in red are the ones that we ve
Identified potential impacts as a result of the project as well as potential mitigation measures that
would minimize those impacts so I ll run through each of those We ll start with the water
resources and wetlands As Jon mentioned there are a number of wetlands along the corridor
Two of thoso wetlands are DNR protected waters which means the DNR has jurisdiction over
those and has pemtitting authority for any fill or activity within those wetlands The other
wetlands as well as these the Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over and require separate permits as well through their process The amount of impact we try to minimizo as part of the
preliminary design process by narrowing the roadway through those major wetland areas to
minimize the amount of fill within those wetlands The amount offal for the overall project is
2 2 acres To put that in perspective the total right of way area through the corridor is roughly
29 acres The roadway portion ofthe project alone has about 1 A acres of am The trail
adjacent to the roadway on both sides would roughly end up with about 7 10 s of an acre of
wetland Impact The replacement plan for those wetland impacts has not been nailed down yet That will be part of the permit process through both the City and the Army Corps and the DNR
but the replacement ratios are set via State statutes and Federal law which is basically a 2 to f
replacement ratio if you re replacing on site or within the city or 2 h to I ration if you re outside of basically the general wetland bank service area So we re anticipating potentially the State
providing replacement for the roadways as it is eligible for safety improvements for the City to
pick up the cost and the credits for the watiand Impacts due to the roadway The trail impacts would likely be picked up or the mitigation prepared or created by the City Another impact
area erosion control and sedimentation This is a issue when areas arc graded and you expose the soil so unvegetated areas again the total right of way area is about 29 acres We don t
anticipate the full roadway being exposed at the same time so there would be a mitigation plan through a storrawater permit and a stormwater pollution prevention plan put In place Erosion
control measures to minimize the impacts during construction As a result of the additional
Chanhassen City Council august 8 2011
travel lanes two additional lanes of traffic one in each direction being added to the roadway as
well as the impervious surface for the construction of the trail will result in an additional roughly
7 acres of new Impervious surface to the area which will need to be treated for stormwater runoff
as well as water quality As Jon pointed out there are 3 stormwater ponds being constructed as
part of the project that would meet that legal requirement through that permitting process to
provide that storage and treatment requirement through that NPDES permit process Noise I m
sure is a very top concern of the neighbors in this area so we looked at a noise analysis of what
the change in the roadway would change as far as noise levels along the roadway corridor We
looked at 29 receptor sites which essentially included all the residents directly adjacent to the
roadway as well as some along 94P There s actually a graphic here that shows the receptor
locations Each of those dots was one of the receptors identified during the or for the noise
study These were plugged into a model to determine how that noise would carry from the
reconfigured road as well as the widened road section There s a couple of tables here which you
may not be able to read up close but they are included in the noise report which I believe is
linked to the wabsite that you can take a look at in more detall but the conclusion is basically 70
decibels is the federal threshold for noise Most of the existing homes under existing conditions
have a fteshold less than 50 The increase due to the road project is less than a in most eases
less than a decibel difference which is well under that 70 decibel limit This basically says that
the future noise levels will not exceed that federal threshold Obviously that doesn t mean that
there is no noise in the corridor or there isn t a change in noise but it s under that threshold and
therefore under federal requirements no specific noise wall or other abatement requirements are
required Jon pointed out that there will be some impacts to Bandimere Park Again we ve
minimized to the extent possible through the use of retaining walls in the preliminary design to
minimize the impact The highest priority In looking at the impacts here was to not result in any
change in the ballfield areas The active uses within the park because those are harder to
mitigate and replace someplace else The impact areas are primarily open space steep slopes
that will be minimized through putting retaining walls along the inside of that curve One of the
things required due to the federal process is under the Section 4F requirements that any parkland
that is impacted must be replaced at a 1 to 1 ratio The City has in it s long term plan to add to
the park two parcels Paul you might want to point out those two parcels on the north side that
are in the long toms plan to be added to the park Part of this project would actually add one of
those parcels which is needed to try to provide the access realignment as wall as part of the
mitigation replacement for the area in blue along the west side of the park that will be impacted
by the project So that s the impact area and then the replacement arcs would be the new parcel
on the north side Obviously with widening the roadway there s additional right of way that s
going to be needed for the project Roughly 7 acres of new permanent right of way will be
required in various strips along each side of the corridor That affects 10 separate parcels
Drainage mornonts due to the need for stormwater ponds and some of the drainageways also is
required Another roughly 5 acres affecting 3 separate parcels And then temporary construction
easements during construction to get in the retaining walls and some of the other grading
activities Another 3 s acres affecting I1 parcels and then the one full total of parcel purchase
for the new parcel for the addition to the park So that s a quick overview of the actual impacts
of the project of the various areas that are required to be evaluated through the State and Federal
process The purpose of tonight s meeting is really to gain input from the public on the adequacy
and the completeness of the eovironmental documentation The comment period for this
environmental document last is extends through August 2e I want to make sure everybody s
134
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
aware of the 24 date I think there was a misprint in the EQB Monitor that said the 22 but the
date is ends on a Wednesday which is August 24 The next step after the EAW comment
period closes is to prepare both the Federal and the State findings documents The Findings of
Fact would be presented back to City Council for their approval of that document and the
findings and approval of the environmental document It s not an approval of the project Asa
whole but just that the document Is complete The Federal process is basically would be
submitted to bO DOT and FHWA as a request for a finding ofno significant impact and that
would be their official document and approval process and that also would come back to council
The timeline for both of those will be to be completed this fell with an anticipated approval by
the end of the you And that basically concludes our presentation This then provides the
opportunity for people to provide their comments through the public hearing so if there are any
questions
Mayor Furlong Any questions at this point
Councilman Laufenburger I do have a question Mr Mayor
Mayor Furlong Councilman Laufenburger
Councilman Laufenburger Can you is it Beth
Beth Kunkel Yes
Councilman Laufenburger Can you speak to the three stormwater ponds First of all is there
current ponding occurring in that area right now And if not why arc you selecting those
particular sites and why not one larger stormwater pond Just educate me a little bit on that if
you woulda t mind
Beth Kunkel I will take first shot at it and Jon you want to add a few things from as engineering
standpoint but currently all three locations I believe are in upland areas They re not currently wetlands so there isn t wat or water in those locations The one pond is located between two
wetlands Therc a a little bit of an upland saddlo on that location
Councilman Laufanburger Yep That s right 4acwd to Bandit right On the west side of
Bandimere Park
Beth Kunkel Yea on the west side The other out on the west side is also adjacent to the
existing wetland but it s on an upland location so we re not proposing any of these ponds within
wetland areas And the one on the cast side is in a low depressionai area but We not typically saturated or has standing water There is an txisting storm pipe f believe in that location that
crosses the road at that location
Councilman Laufenburger Okay So these are stormwater ponds that will be created specifically for the purpose of allowing stormwater runoffte be temperature readied and
sediment
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
Paul Oehme Rate control and water quality issues before it ends up in the discharge wetlands or
in Lake Riley
Councilman Laufenburger Okay So the stormwater ponds are only temporary location for the
water until they naturally move to either the wetlands or across 101 to Lake Riley am I saying
that correctly
Paul Oehma Correct Yeah I mean it s always our Intent to treat the water We have to treat
the water if it tuts off an impervious surface into water quality bodies Stormwater ponds per so
before it on up in wetlands or lakes or streams Those type of things Natural features
Council Laufenburger And you plan the size of these stormwater ponds to accommodate
100 year floods or something like that is that correct
Paul Oehme Correct Yeah each of the ponds arc designed for overflow capabilities to then
that we have a large rain event that cannot handle these type of ponds so there is overland flow
associated with each of those ponds and so it doesn t back up into structures basically
Councilman Laufe iburger Okay Is part of the treatment also the introduction of barriers to
mosquito reproduction
Paul Oehme Not under this
Councilman Laufenburger Alright
Mayor Furlong That s what the helicopters
Councilman Laufenburger Yeah I was thinking are we going to see helicopters drop pellets into
time stormwater ponds
Paul Oehme We could
Councilman Laufanburger Okay That answers my question Thank you Beth
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council members just to add a comment to that Currently 101 is what
we call a Waal section toad There s no curb or gutter There may be some isolated spots for
drainage purposes but this we would be introducing curb from basically just past Lyman an the
way down to PIoneer and that water will then go into the different manholes and then ultimately
into the ponds
Councilman Laufenburger Okay
Mayor Furlong And this may be a question for Ms Aanenson and Mr Oehmc both but are the
ponds being sized strictly for the roadway or arc they being oversized for future development in
the area or will the ponds have will future development require them to provide their own
pending
10
135
Chanhassen City Council fuguat 8 2011
Paul Oehme Future development in the area will have to require their own ponds We don t
we can t anticipate what type of those developments could occur in this area We have looked
at especially Pond 2 here for anticipated improvements to 9e Street so future reconstruction
potentially of that street Most of that water potentially can be directed into this pond
Mayor Furlong And 9 is currently a rural section
Paul Oehme I m sorry yeah 96 is a rural section so were anticipating that that pond will be
sized to accommodate those improvements along with Kiowa Trail as well There is a portion of
Kiowa Trail that drains onto 101 right now The design that were looking at it calls for making
those improvements to 101 to accommodate future improvements on Kiowa to take that drainage
and treat that water into this pond here if and when that project would take place
Mayor Furlong So what I m heating is they re going to be sized In anticipation of future public
right of way street improvements that are currently rural and would be would include those
those local streets would include curb and gutter
Paul Oehma That s oormoL
Mayor Furlong But they re not going to be sized over that for any other private development
Paul Oehme Not any private development
Mayor Furlong Thank you Other questions at this point Just a quick question on and maybe
this will come up and if we can pull up Mr Oehmo the Pioneer Trail 101 proposed intersection
It s hard to ace but it looks like there s plans that includes a for southbound traffic it includes a
left turn a straight through and a tight turn lane currently Ara I Iooking at it correctly that when
improvements are made south ofPioneer Trail there s room for right tum lanes so that we can
have two through lanes Is that am I looping at it correctly
Paul Oebma That s correct Right yeah we re trying to set up the Interseotion at this time for
future improvements to the south where we don t have to get into the intersection grades per e
or move that signal system again to accommodate the improvements south on 101 so what we re
trying to do is anticipate what the future leg south of 101 would be so we don t have to make
Improvements north of Pioneer Trail
Mayor Furlong That s why the trail kind of kicks out a little bit there on the west side
PaulOehme Yep
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you Any other questions at this point of staffs Let me then do a
couple things First of all well open up the public hearing To the extent there are questions
raised I would ask that staff and representatives from Kimley horn try to respond to them as they
can I think too Ms Iiokkaaen do we have a tablet of paper over on the table there If we can
get that passed out so if everybody that s making comments here can sign up so we make sure
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
do we have a pen Is there one going around already I don t know sometimes it s on that table
over there Is it If somebody could just grab it and make sure that gets around the room please
If you haven t signed up as being herein attendance we d appreciate if you d sign up And we
have on the table up here Ms Aanenson we have the aerial view of the project so people can
point to the property or the issue and such like that Let s go ahead and open up the public
hearing then and invite interested parties to come forward and ask questions or address the
council on matters of interest Thank you Good evening sir Ifyou could state your name and
address for the record as well we d appreciate iL
Dave Wondra My name s Dave Wondra and I live at 9590 Foxford Road and want to comment
on three subjects The first the additional right of way and temporary casement that affects our
property Then uoe removal and then berating is the third thing If you could for the sake of us
Kate Aanonson We re not getting this camera to work
Dave Wondra Okay You want me to
Paul Oehme Why don t we just use the power point
Mayor Furiong That s fine Sometimes irs just helpful for us to understand where your
property is I m sorry to interrupt Okay
Dave Wondra Good to go Okay Well we ve worked really hard to take good care of our land
and from the start we wanted to be use a real sustainable environmentally friendly approach so
what we did is we installed prairie and we did it 19 years ago and we have about 2 acres of
prairie on our property and then 2 of our neighbors also joined in and so we have about 5 acres
that goes across all of our combined properties and it took substantial investment in terms of
effort and funding over a lot of years to get it established and up and going and our efforts have
paid off Our prairie s an early example of how to successfuily incorporate prairie restoration to
the landscape It s been photographed by Nature Conservancy Featured in two books on native
landscaping Been in numerous newspaper magazine articles and the U of M stops out from
time to time to do research on how it s coming along Due to this project approximately 25 of
the prairie will be destroyed and it s because of the mostly because of the temporary easement
And while the easement is temporary the Impact has a very Ion term effect It will take many
years and a substantial investment of both time and money to essentially restore the restoration
so I know the City supports prairie restoration and appreciates the environmental benefit of this
approach to landscaping and my request is that the City consider other approaches to still do
what s needed for temporary easement that we find a way that that doesn t take the prairie out
Second subject trees Judging by the plans we ve seen there s literally hundreds of trees that
will be removed from our neighborhood In our case there are over 100 trees on our property
alone and besides the natural beauty they also serve as a visual screen for us against 101 It s
our understanding that the City will be replacing some number of trees and we look forward to
learning how many what kind and what size And the last is on the berating Due to changes in
elevation along the proposed road and anticipated increases in traffic there will be substantially
more noise generated by the highway and while I appreciate that the study says that noise will be
under acceptable levels that s the same of saying same thing as saying it s okay to raise
136
Chanhassen City Council Iugust 8 2011
pollution up to legal levels Right now it s relatively quiet In out neighborhood This will no
doubt unequivocally raise noise so while we appreciate that it s legal it will have a substantial
change and have substantial significant impact to us In talking with Paul he said the City is
open to discussing a berm through that area and our request is that we have an agreement on
berming prior to the project being bid so that we have some assurance that that noise will be an
acceptable level Thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you Do you want to address any of those items as we move along here
Paul Oehme Sure Just
Mayor Furlong And can we get up the power point at least so we can see about where along the corridor his property is located
Paul Oehmo The Wondra s property I believe is right here
Mayor Furlong Is that correct
Dave Wondre Yep
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you
Paul Oehme So the specifically with respect to the berm that he had talked about the City staff is open to evaluating and looking at potential construction of a berm to alleviate some of the potential noise impacts and headlight issues that potentially can take place especially on the curved portion of 101 so we re looking at address trying to address that upfront I think the time
to start talking about that and working through that process is when the right of way acquisitions
are necessary and trying to iaoorporate that into the temporary easements that would potentially be needed for the for those improvements to take place In terms of the prairie issue that s kind of a new one to mc That s the first I ve heard of that There is you know prairie restoration
contractors that we can talk to to try to either restora what the impacts are out there or you know try to I mean we can talk to our contractor who s out there to try to mitigate as much ofthe impacts as possible when the construction s taking place so I think we can work with the
property owners in trying to address both of those Issues In terms of tree replscement you know we have been talking to MnDOT and Carver County about doing some sort oft replacement package with this project Our anticipation is to have somewhat of a reforestation
component to the project At this time we do not have a plan at this time That typically comes through in the final design stage of the process so that s our goal That s the what vwre trying to work towards
Mayor Furlong Couple questions that come to mind I know having driven this corridor in terns of topography you know there s a hill there and 9e you comedown below around We re going to be as a part of this project it will be seeking to level and straighten the road
Paul Oehme Yep
Chanhassen City Council august 8 2011
Mayor Furlong As apart of that
Faul Oehme Absolutely
Mayor Furlong Where is the alignment of the road going to be relative to the homes on the east
side Is it going to be above Wow About the same
Paul Oehme On the east side Ion can you help me
Mayor Furlong Maybe it s a question of topography there as we re looking at
Paul Oehme It kind of moves around in this area so
Mayor Furlong Right Okay And maybe that s the answer
Jon Horn Some twill some it won t
Paul Oehme Yeah It s kind of this area it s high at the intersection of 9e Street and then it
kind of comes down
Mayor Furlong As you go north
Paul Oehme As you go north there so in terms of where it s highor than the property existing
properties to the east and lower I think we can try to address that and try to get back to you
Mayor Furlong As you look at some of these suggestions or ideas in terms of noise or
especially noise I mean it seems to me that the relationship between the road and the homes
would really suggest whether or not a berm would be effective at all or not right
Paul Oehme Right
Mayor Furlong So is that something you re going to look at and whether
Paul Oehme Yep
Mayor Furlong Proposed improvement or action might be effective
Paul Oehme Yeah in this particular case and I know we had looked at cross sections earlier on
and I do believe that a berm in this area will help alleviate some of those concoms
Mayor Furlong And that s free If we can look at those as options in the areas where they allow
but I hate to think that we re just to throw berms everywhere because
Paul Oehme No

Chanhassen City Council It gust 8 2031
Mayor Furlong noise they re not going to do any good
Paul Oehme Bxactly and in this particular instance in this part of tho project it does seem to
make sense that we can take a look at adding that type of future
Mayor Furlong Alright thank you Others who would like to address the council this evening We have time for evorybody Good evetdng
Jamie Hcilicher My name Is Jamie Heilicher 9280 Kiowa Trail Mainly we re looking at a
situation we ve been living there for 25 years and obviously the added traffic on 1011 has
become an issue and always has been We re more concerned about the concept that the City Council looks at which is widening Kiowa Trail and creating a through street for Kiowa to 101
from the development of Springfield and properties to the north of Springfield The concern
obviously is that opening up Kiowa Trail which is now a dead end street and always has been to
a through street will creato a significant amount of additional traffic for all of those people looking to go south on 101 and rather than go up to Lyman and to lot and south they ll come
through our neighborhood and ultimately end up on 101 with a short cut so it s a conoem that we
have as residents of Kiowa Trail The consideration would be if we re looking at trying to
mitigate the wetlands and what s being taken as a alternative to widening Kiowa Trail and
creating a through stroct would be to dead and Mows Trail at 101 giving you the opportunity to
narrow 101 down to only two lanes without having to create turn lanes and everything else and
moving Maws Trail which only has 20 homes through Springfield to Lyman which you know I
mean obviously we d rather keep it the way It is and keep it a dead end street but given the fact
that it s likely that if I of is modified they will and up creating a through street on Kiowa thus
creating a lot of traffic so it s a consideration to you know look at because then you re taking a
tot less wetlands as you make that turn a lot less work A much less expensive alternative to creating a larger intersoction at the and of Kiowa Trail Obviously you know there s 20 homes
that would have to drive through Springfield but you knowfrom both standpoints it protects us
from having a through street and possibly saves the City some money and some wetland areas
Thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you Excuse me sir if you could come to the podium State your name
and address if you would I just want to see if there s any comments at this point on that or should we continue the public hearing
Paul Oelune Yeah under this project we re not anticipating we re not looking at connecting Kiowa Trail to Springfield to the north there That s a completely separate itom at this time The City does in our ordinance try to limit the length of cul de sacs to a specific length so that s that s for a future decision I think
Mayor Furlong Okay Alright thank you Others that would like to discuss Sir If you d line
to or anyone else If you could come to the podium please
Jack Bell I m Jack Bell I live on Mows Trail Just with the safety issue and Kiowa Trail with
the cars coming off onto the highway you block that off open up the other end I tell you it s
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
bad now getting on and if you re directing traffic left and right off of Kiows Trail a bad I think
that would be really trouble there
Mayor Furlong Thank you for your comments Mr Bell your address on Kiowa Trail
Jack Bell 9371 Kiows
Mayor Furlong Thank you
Dan Horsfall Good evoning My name Dan Horsfall and I live next door to Dave 9610
Foxford On one of the maps that has all the property parcels identified I m number 12 l hope
my comments are not out of place at this point This is the fast opportunity that I ve been aware
offer public comment on the design as well Not only the environmental worksheet I mean
there have been open houses but that hasn t been the same thing as coming before you with
design questions as well And my first question is actually you know with design issues since
the State and the Federal governments are providing most of the money here does the City effect
have any authority to mandate design changes
Mayor Furlong Mr Oehme Or Mr Horn
Paul Oehme Since we are on the parties involved with the in the improvements and we do have
some authority in terms of design criteria s and other aspects of the project In terms of you
know MaDOT requirements for site distances and pavement sections that the County s going to
require you know those type of things we don t have too much jurisdiction over We do have
jurisdiction over stormwater quality and quantity components but in terms of design criteria s
alignments and you know how those things are laid out you know we have limited limited
recourse I guess
Mayor Furlong And I guess to add to the confusion while the City is the organization that s
leading this project it s ctuserrtly a State road that will become a County road and it s being
funded by Federal and State dollars Is that corroct
Jon Hom Correct
Mayor Furlong So okay so other than the school district I think we ve got you covered so if
you ve got some questions let s get them out and we can try to figure out what we can do
Dan Horsfall Well thank you very much I wanted to make sure that this wasn t you know
wasn t a done deal already and we re just here for the exercise I think it s a wonderful idea that
you know I understand the benefit of moving the Bandimme Park access I think there s a great
benefit to straightening the road I think there s a great benefit to leveling the road There s an
awful lot of accidents where people simply fall off the edge o the road down there at the bottom
of that curve That s a good idea if we can fix that What I would like to challenge is the benefit
of widening the road from 3 lanes or to 5 lanes particularly when you consider all of the assorted
costs We re not sure that that s been done yet in terms of costs not just in dollars and cents for
developing the road itselfbut dollars but costs to the adjacent property owners You know
16
138
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
were going to have increased noise Increased traffic You know all of these things You ve
considered them Substantial tree loss and consequent loss of property value and things like that and so with respect to the last point we see great incremental cost and almost no benefit to the
extra lanes The 5 lava froeway just really isn t justifiable you know Straightening the road
yes Leveling the road yes Widening the road not necessary I don t think At least not yak Not in my opinion Besides that I have an additional point Along with all the other problems that we re trying to solve I have a problem with this road It takes me too long to get from the
top to the bottom If you imagine driving f xim Lyman Boulevard to downtown Shakopee you ve got to wind down the hill and wait for the light at Pioneer Trail end you ve got to wind down 101 and wait for 2 or 3 lights to get through at Tri Y Okay and adding another lone doesn t solve that Adding another lane doesn t solve the end to end travel time so there s a problem in my opinion that hasn t even been looked at or hasn t even been considered Or maybe has been considered and was dismissed I ll give you that But to me it s a problem that another argument that the 5 lane design adds additional cost and no benefit So I would request from the City another alternative This Is not the preferred alternative for me There s not only two Where it said no build versus 5 lane freeway those are not the only two alternatives You know there has to be another alternative somewhere in the middle I m willing to compromise I think a 3 lone road with turn limes accomplishes nearly all that you want to accomplish at far less cost I d like to consider other alternatives or I d like to at least hear some ofthem discussed you know Perhaps if the road was narrower it could even be straighter You know take a little bit
more out of the inside of the S curves Do we really need a 10 foot bike lane on both sides of the road Could the project be done in multiple phases My understanding that the follow up Project going southbound from Pioneer Trail down to Shakopee is so far out in the future as to be completely invisible Can we phase this Can we have phase I be a 3 lane road and hold off on adding the other 2 lanes until the rest ofthe project Is ready to build Yes I know we waat a
major connection from 212 to Shakopee or from Chanhassen to Shakopee but until the last section is complete there s no point on than working on ibis section and making ibis section a 5
lane freeway So open end questions They re not have to be answered tonight but those are my
concerns I d really like to work with you on a mutually agreeable design that doesn t necessarily involve turning this road into a freeway at this point Thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you
Todd Gerhardt Mayor council if I may Paul or Jon could you talk a little bit about the schedule This is the public hearing for the environmental review portion of it but we will be having olti input on the design aspect also down the line Can you give the public a little update on the schedule
Jon Horn Yeah correct What s been done to date Mayor and Council is the development of a Preliminary alignment for the purposes of looking at the environmental impacts associated with that That s the process we re going through tonight The purpose of tonight s meeting is really to get comment and feedback from the residents and property owners in the area to better understand what those concerns are Ultimately over the next few months we ll be working to try to address those comments and ultimately be back to the council to make a decision on the environmental impacts associated with the project If the project then moves forward from there
we would be going through a preliminary design process which would allow for additional
Chanhassen City Council august 8 2011
public involvement process there as well and then that final design process really wouldn t be
done until close to the end of 2012 so we really have you know a year and a quarter year and a
half still of work ahead of us still ultimately before we come up with the final design and start
construction
Todd Gerhardt As a part of the environmental assessment portion of this we want to hear
everybody s feedback even on the design but right now we have looked at the ultimate so it
would give us the impact environmentally to the area
Jon Hom Correct And the environmental document does include a traffic analysis so in terms
of some additional background information on how we got to a 4 lane roadway versus a 2 lane
roadway there s some documentation information in the environmental document on that A lot
of conversations tonight about the fact tbat MrOOT and Carver County are involved as well so
Ibis is something that the City needs to work with as partners as well to try to come up with the
design that s currently a trunk highway ultimately a turn back to Carver County and will be their
roadway as well so those are all issues in terms of responding to Mr Horafall s comments those
are things we re going to have to look into But again that s what we re here for tonight Get
comments We ll be addressing those comments as a part of the BAW document process
Mayor Furlong Other comments Sure
Tun Erbatt I m Tim Erhart 9611 Meadowlark Lane in Chanhassen Honorable Mayor and
council people Persons Thanks for the opportunity to speak I ve lived in this area 30 yoau
31 years now Very familiar with the area Jon I give you credit You hit all the negative points
on your first power point slide I think all ofus in the area know and agree with you on that but
you missed one major point in this area It s probably one of the most beautiful and interesting
one mile section of roadway in Chanhassen and I think it s one of the reasons that we enjoy
living in this area so much and not to take away the need to Improve ifs performance as a road
We don t want to be left with essentially a just a construction site when we re all done and I m
concerned that you use the word mitigate on one of your following slides but I don t I m not
sure what this is going to look like when it s done Could 1 ask you to kind of you know what
we all live within 101 is a wall oft on both sides from Bandimere Park to Pioneer Trail
Could you axplaW or what the tree removal is When I talk about the wall of trees on both sides
what is the tree removal plan and what s going to be left in your mind today
Jon Hom Yeah in terns of specifics the layout that shows on the power point if we could got
the overhead to work actually shows what s been identified as the preliminary construction
limits I don t know Paul ifyou can kind of point that out It shows that kind of red in there
Through the preliminary design process we ve looked for ways to try to minimize those impacts
interim of what the limits are of construction As it has been mentioned earlier tonight there
will be tree impacts associated with That us preliminary design process moves forward We want
to identify the specifics on all those tree impacts and removals as well as to try to come up with
plans to mitigate that Along corridor I know avery wide corridor in terms of trying to get into
all the specifics tonight If you have a specific area in particular I mean it s hard to say
139
Chanhassen City Council gust 8 2011 0
Tim Erhart Oh specifically I m thinking of the west side there through the whole curve
between the curve and the pond I mean tbeW s hundreds of oaks on that hill that I believe are
all going to be gone or not
Jon Horn Yeah Paul can you maybe go to the next Yeah there you go Maybe highlight or
circle follow the construction limit line
Paul Oebmo On the west side here so We this
Todd Gerhardt Jon so you re saying anything inside that red line
Jon Horn Inside of that will be the limits of construction
Todd Gerhardt Will be grubbed out and graded for slopes and ponds tike any roadway
Jon Horn Yeah and I think maybe Mr Erhart correct me if I m wrong your specific question
is relative to where that stormwater pond is proposed
Tim Erhart Yeah and south South
Jon Horn South of there
Tim Erhart Yeah that s all wooded from there all the way to West 9e or
Paul Ochme Yeah West go
Tim Erhart Yeah so that s all wooded today That s all oaks in that area Steep hill I gather
those are all being removed
Jon Horn A number of those will be
Tim Erhart Is the cast Okay so let s finish that area That area is all being removed I believe
correct
Jon Hom Inside that dashed Inside that dashed line
Tim Erhart All the mature trees Well even north of that
Paul oehme Even north of theca
Tim Erhart Yeah That s well then that stretch that s all being removed correct
Jon Horn That s generally pretty close Tbere s a wetland in there and that s generally very
close to the edge of that oxisting wetland
Chanhassen City Council august 8 2011
Tim Erhart No but it s avail of trees and from thereto the south to your proposed wetland
that s all mature oaks
Todd Gerhardt Jon is that the existing rlght of way line The red line Is there any additional
easements that need to he purchased in that area
Jon Horn Them is correct
7im Erhart Yeah I know and again it s not an issue So then let s go on the east side Right
now you start with Bandimcm Park There s trees that were planted there when the park was
built going all the way south There s a stand of stature trees along the hill where your pointer is
and then into your neighborhood Are those trees going Staying
Audience Yeah All going
Tim Erhart Everything s gone so we re taking this beautiful one mite section and flattening it
like a tomado Like a tornado going through there and it begs another question is that s bothered
me more recently and I ve talked to Paul about it is as I started thinking about that I wonder why
we have we have one corrmtercial entrance on 212 into Chanhassen It s on 212 and 101
It s kind of where people get off if they want to go into town from the east certainly and there s
no there s been no replanting since 101 was done them either from approximately Lake Susan
all the way down to Lyman and you know I think we all hoped that there would be some
construction going on in that area and maybe that would bring some replanting of trees but with
the economy today who knows You know I guess what I m asking Jon your group and the City
Council and the County If they re listaning is that you know we need to think about what we re
taking away and putting in a plan to try to truly mitigate what we re taking away from this area
And moreover to look at our entranceway into Chanhassen from the east and that whole 101 212
intersection here You know we ve got area that are nearly invisible to the public Audubon
and some of the sweets that go past General Mills over there where we put beautifid boulevard
trees in those areas when those streets were constructed and I think Ibis area certainly deserves as
much consideration as those streets So Tm just asking for you know let s give this
consideration that I think this area deserves for making it beautiful 1 d like to see in M years
that this looks like Dell Road and with that is they have a wall of trees there It s a a lane road
with a median and bike 10 foot bike trails on either side I believe and I d like to sea us start
moving forward on that
Mayor Furlong I guess Mr Horn a question Pd have is the current plan for mitigation and tree
removal what is in the plan I don t know if you ve soon that or not
Jon Horn Yeah and Mayor based upon Mr Erharf s comments it sounds like you know again
the purpose for tonight is to gather comments Based upon the comments it sounds like we
needed to do a better job for the neighbors identifying what those tree impacts would be in a little
more detail as well as provide a response in terms of wbat the mitigation measures are in
response to that and that s something as a part of our comments to the comments tonight we will
address as a part of that environmental document

Mayor Furlong Okay
Tim Erhart Okay tbank you
Doug Duchon Mr Mayor council members
Mayor Furlong evening
Doug Duchon My name is Doug Duchon I m at 9630 Foxford Road I can show it up here on
the overhead I m one of those on the east side I m at that property right there and I think a lot
of people have stated a lot of the things that I had prepared and have gone through it so I m
going to go through the same issues but I do voice the same concems With my property I will
be impacted what I consider significantly You ask the question about what trees are being
removed If you walk along that path that goes along the back side of my property there are
spruce trees there that are 30 40 feet tall They would be specimen trees I could see them being
on the Capitol lawn for a Christmas tree and that s probably where they ll end up I m not sure
but if it goes through Basically the back side of my ptoperty when I moved in there 22 years
ago was very limited vegetation and as part of one of the things I did to beautify my property in
conjunction with the people that put in prairie I worked on that as well I put in tress and a lot of
those trees were planted back 22 years ago Moved in time to protect myselffrom the road and
to take and beautify that section of it and the with the way it is right now and the alignment of
The road all those trees my entire back property and I went back there and measured and my wife went back there and actually measured girth on the trees to identify what those trees were
and well lose in excess of 75 trees So that back side I will also lose approximately a third of
an acre of property for that and tbafs just on my property The next adjacent propar which
has a direct impact on me as well has the settling pond in 14 and somebody asked the question
what s a settling pond for What does it do And right now it does drain oft That s a dry area down then In fact I mow grass down then for my neighbor and my neighbors are having some
problems They re not going to be here to speak so I ll try to speak on their behalf In that
property basically gets out in half They lose half of thcir property for a setdingpond to be In
that condition or in that location and this is an area that s drained and it drains on it s own It s dry continuously That pond if you Imagine it you say what do these ponds look like All you have to do Is drive down 212 look off to the sides on 101 You see thoso little algae and the
scum on the top You can imagine going out there and walking the back of that prairie or even walking on that trail and having the mosquitoes eat you alive or carry you off So that area for it
I would ask consideration for finding other ways to drain that water or move that water It s
moving right now Thera was a culvert that was put in We haven t had any problems The
other area or the other concern is is the safety that s involved with that as well That s right next
to a trail There s water there There s kids that go by that trail all the time We have kids in our back yard We have a swing set that s out there very close and I d be concerned about those kids
getting into that pond or having problems with that pond So I think the questions that were
asked I think Dan asked a very good question I come from an engineering background and typically when I do projects I get asked what are all the options How do you know what the
best option is I know thero s other options that have been looked at but from this one we haven t seen anything smaller and looking at it 5 lanes of highway in one of the most beautiful
areas that I know o This is one of the things that I come home at night I drive through that
section Attar seeing this I sit down and imagine what it looks like You can imagine it next
time you drive down there Take the left hand or I m sorry The west side of the road Clean
that off You will look across that pond You will see the houses on 96 Street There ll be
nothing across that marshland That will extend up into my property on the other side and it will
be just a prairie grassland that exists so once you clean out that entire corridor of the trees
you ve basically lost the character of a section a piece of Chanhassen that I think is extremely
important And I feel fbat we should take and at least discuss how we can make that safer I
understand that but also to accommodate the other people the beauty of our city When you
look at it it s an extremely wide sheet I think the width of it will also encourage you say I will
build it they will come As you build that there s going to be more and more traffic And
there s going to be significantly more traffic Another concern that I have on it is that road right
now is posted or is intended to be a 40 miles an hour road I would expect that through the
lifetime of that road that it s maintained at 40 miles an hour and I m going to guess that with
widening that road and just knowing that section that the speeds will increase and continue to
increase We ll also get a lot more truck traffic so I would ask that you go back and look at it
Right now we ve got two bike lanes onthere I walkout on the bike path I talk to people on my
bike path I ve never seen a congested area on there where they ve had to go and pass or say
I ve got to move to the other side of the road A 10 foot wide bike path on one side would be
sufficient At least preserve a little bit of the area So I guess in concluding I d like to ask a
couple things One that you consider re evaluate Go back and look at preserving the beauty of
Chanhassen That little stretch of toad It s a one mile section and I consider it paradise on my
way home from work Being able to look at it Being able to say I go into this little reserve
Hop back out agaia and hopefully we can preserve a section of that That when you look at it
and considering it you look at the sight lines You say it s not just about putting in a road
Creating some more concrete More asphalt and saying yeah we can pump a lot more people
through there but you preserve the character of it I would ask that the City and this is one of the
things that I felt very strongly about within Chanhassen is that you have the desire to have an
onviromnent that s very good Very impactful to the people that are around it You have
ordinances them looking at trees saying that if you take trees out you d better put them back
What were seeing within this project is literally taking out thousands of trees and some of these
ace mature oaks There s a mature spruce in there It s a beautifid place and you re just taking
those away and saying bey you know what Concrete asphalt they rude I would also like to
seethe bike path removed on it On one side I understand about the noise We ve talked about
that Focus on safety and in that safa y making sure that we maintain that 40 miles an hour It s
as important thing and I know that coming across the fteeway over on this side it s up to 45 and
I can we that as the State looks at it again they say hey you know what That corridor s worth a
50 or 55 Each one of those creates more safety issues as well in that you have a path next to it
So with that I would like you all I thank you all for taking the time to listen to me I am kind of
choked up about it I apologize but
Becky Duchon We appreciate you as city officials listening to us and we appreciate you
representing us and our concerns
Doug Duchon Thank you
Mayor Furlong Very goad thank you

David Blanski I m David Blanski I live at 9350 Great Plains Boulevard I ve been there for
30 plus years Getting kind of elderly My hearing is failing a little bit The young lady when
you gave your presentation did you say the decibels were going to increase by 5
Bath Kunkel Less then 5 In most cases
David Blanski Okay and what is the baseline now
Beth Kunkel In the 45 to 50 decibel right now
David Blanski Okay It s boon a long time since I was in high school but a 5 decibel increase is
not a simple arithmetic percentage increase is it It is an algebraic increase How much of as
Increase Is that really And I know Were are chars like a railroad train or di tbrent things or
birds what difference will there really be in the noise
Audience Just from a point ofphysics there s a pressure lovel i m sorry
Mayor Furlong It may be the same answer but let s let the consultants respond to the question
Both Kunkel Decibels are on a logarithmic state Generally a 3 decibel increase is considered a
doubling of the noise at the same distance So a 5 decibel increase actually up to 3 decibels is
not considered perceptible according to federal guidelines Anything above and beyond 3 decibels is considered a perceptible noise change Put It in porspectiv s again 70 decibels for
daytime noise is considered the threshold at the federal lavef The table shows that most of the
existing residences along the corridor in that 45 and some into the 55 decibel categories at their
specific the distance from their the road to their home So that s I don t know does that answer
your question
David Blanski Did I understand you to say that at 3 decibel increase was a double of the noise
Beth Kunkel I want to correct that I believe it s a 10 decibel Increase is a doubling of the noise 3 decibel is where it s perceptible 3 decibel increase is where it s perceptible
David Blanski Thank you I just wanted to be sure that people understood that it wasn t simple to figure I ve had quite a bit of oxporienoe with berms over the years because I permitted a
number of mining sites and people was always interested in noise and I hope people understand
that simply building a berm does not eliminate the noise It may protect their home if they re directly behind the berm but the people in the next block may have considerably increased noise We had locations where people couldn t hear our rock crushers until we put in the berms
and then they heard them 2 s miles away so the berm or wall Is not oessarily the solution On
my side I ve been watering
ne
some old oaks I think 3 of them would be gone I m sure they re all
over 100 years old Number of elms in there too 1 hate to see those go Actually the traffic
since the roadway was improved the last time has been reduced because the people that were coming down that now take Powers to get on and I don t know if you ve done any traffic counts I know from going to the mailbox a couple times a day it s a lot easier to get across the street

Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
Another gentleman commented on the speed I agree with that 100 because most the people
going by are going 50 miles an hour and ifyou want safety get the sheriffto enforce the speed
Limits there I don t know if it s an environmental issue or not but I question the need for the
tunnel I don t think I hardly ever see anybody walking to the Bandimere Park and I live right
across the straet Do you folks in the audience see the need for the tunnel Is someone in favor
of it
Mayor Furlong Sir if you can address your comments and questions here
David Blanski Okay well would you gentlemen look into the need for the turmcl
Mayor Furlong To the extent you ve mentioned it I m sure it will be apart of the report
David Blanski Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak
Mayor Furlong Thank you Appreciate your comments
Sharon Gatto Good evening I m Sharon Gatto at 9631 Foxford
Mayor Furlong Good evening
Sharon Gatto So I m in the neighborhood that s east of the 101 but I m not ad jacent to 101 so
the impact to me is I m worried why we moved into this area We moved in because we were
still rural We have trees You drive your motorcycle upend down l Ot and it s just beautiful
Whether you re going south or you re going north It s beautiful And 1 understand
development because our development we have 2 acres We were developed 20 years ago so
we ruined some farmland because of our development but it seem like every city wants to tear
down everything that s beautiful and put in development I don t know if it s tax money but they
want to develop every little corner of the beautlfitl country we have here in Chanhassen and I
wanted to know now that Powers is done why do we even need this I drive 101 minimum of
twice a day To and from work and weekends all day long I don t see a problem with one lane
goiug each direction I don t see a problem What I see a problom with some of the curves
Peoplo can take Powers if that bothers them in the winter let them take Powers We finished
Powers off Why do we have to look like Powers That s what it s going to look like It s
pretty naked and an both sides Thank you
Mayor Furlong Anyone also who would like to provide public comment Good evening air
Bob Haak My name Is Bob Haak I live 770 Pioneer Trail Could we see the picture of the
plat I live a ways off 101 but it affects me directly and the reason it does it s the photograph Do you mind if I point out where I live
Mayor Furlong Sure
Bob Heck I live I believe it s right here Okay when I look in my when I look from my back
yard to the cast to the north or to the south across Pioneer Trail all the water that s generated in

Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
that area comes through my property Every bit of it It comes from the other side of 101 Fox whatever Gagne s old property My concern is adding a roadway will add to that water Right now when I get when we get 2 or 3 inches of rain 60 of my property and my neighbor s Properties to the cast arc underwater And so I certainly like the idea of a holding pond My question is though how much water goes into the holding pond before it overflows and then
come druis it way through my propeity I really think something needs to be looked at with regard to that I do like the Idea of upgrading 101 but and I do think some o the points that
were made this evening were vary valid with regard to trees properties I m a bicyclist and I would like to see bike paths on both aides but the water s my main concern It has gotten worst over the years i was at council meetings in the late 90 no City said we need to do something and it Just kind of stopped theta so anyway do we have a specific idea how much rain it would take for the holding pond to overflow Any idea I don t need an answer tonight
Mayor Furlong Mr Mom
Jon Horn Yeah Mayor and council those are good comments We weren t aware of that Those are things we can look into further but generally we mentioned the 3 stomtwater ponds The purpose for those 3 stormwater ponds is they basically take all runoff from the new roadway Route it into a stormwater pond at which point it would be stored or attenuated so that the discharge would be less than or equal to the pre rates before the construction So the stormwater ponds basically one of the purposes of those is to make sure we re discharging a rate that s less than it is today
Mayor Furlong Okay so right now when it rains anything that hits the road or anywhere else just runs ofE
Jon Horn Goes through ditches and than u tmately We the wetland system
Mayor Furlong Okay
Jon Horn After construction everything would be picked up by a pipe system Routed to ponds where it would be stored attenuated and then ultimately discharged to the similar locations
Mayor Furlong Okay At a rate that s equal to or less than
Jon Horn Or less than yap
Mayor Furlong The current flow Okay
Bob Haak Thank you
Mayor Furlong Thank you
Todd Gerhardt Jon Mayor
Mayor Furlong Yes
Chanhassen City Council August 8 2011
Todd Gerhardt Jon you can put a graph together to show the drainage of this area Where the
water s going to flow Where the emergency overflow from the pond where that water will go So as we get more detail on this plan we can put a graph together to show that
Jon Horn Right and correct and there is also information within the current environmental document that provides additional details on that so if anybody wants to understand that better
they can certainly go look at the document and it provides additional background information
Mayor Furlong And if they have questions on what s in the document direct them to Mr
Oehme first and then if you can answer them you will otherwise we ll get others involved
PaulOehme Absolutely
Mayor Furlong Okay Thank you
Todd Gerhardt Maybe we can bring Bob s daughter back and she can educate everybody on
water flowage
Kathy Horsfall I m Kathy Horsfall 4610 Foxford Road I think avoryone has eloquently said
most of what I wanted to say already but I did have one specific question aside from the fact that do we really need a 5 lane freeway with bike paths on both sides for the foreseeable future that
will only lead to Halla So that s my question first But secondly I would like to know on the
noise measurements were those made at ground level or at house level
Both Kunkel I don t remember the exact height but noise levels essentially I think it s 4 h feet which is roughly 4 or 5 A feet roughly ear level in the front yard of all the residences
Kathy Horsfall In the front yard
Bath Kunkel Well the side of the yard closest to the road
Kathy Horsfall Okay because my concern is that of course 101 and most of our homes are up
on a hill and we re you know 2 Fs stories above that on our bedroom and in the winter we notice
a definite increase in noise as the trees lose their leaves so if the trees are totally gone it s going
to be even more dramatic and I would like to know ifthere s a way to measure that affect at the
level at which we actually live not where we mow the lawn
Beth Kunkel The details of the noise analysis are in a noise report which might answer a lot of
those questions ifyou want to look at the details
Kathy Horsfall Because I appreciated the comment about them being logarithmic We notice
right in the winter Other than that I think everybody s said everything I wanted to say
Mayor Furlong Okay thank you

Carol Dunmore Carol Dunmore 730 West 96 Strout West 96 Street and 101 is probably
the most dangerous one of the most dangerous intersections in the city if anybody s familiar If
anybody s coming northbound on 101 trying to take a left turn onto West 96 Street I have a
P250 truck and if I wasn t up that high in that truck there s no way I would make a left on that
street I would go all the way north up to Bandimew and go through Sandimere and come back
south and take a right on West 90 I refuse to even take my horse hailer empty with no horses
in it and go north on 101 and take a loft on West 96 so I think this project is fantastic that
they re trying to straighten out that curve a little bit there Trying to shave down a hill I can t
walt It s just you know we ve been so fortunate of all the people on West 96 Street and I ve
been there 31 years also that no one s been killed and so I m really looking forward to that
Making it 4 lanes I don t understand that at ail I would like to know if a 3 Isne was ever looked
at We definitely need a left turn lane and a right turn lane onto West 96 and the other streets
also on 101 but 4 lanes and with a concrete divider is just like way too much I agree like the
gal had said about Powers Boulevard Do we want another Powers Boulevard 1 moan I know
they re not going to be able to straighten it that much but the beauty of 101 with it s carves and
it s hills is so astonishing and Mr Erhart s comments on the loss of those trees along there I
hope all of you get a chance to drive down there a couple times The mass of trees that have
been there like 30 40 50 years and the bike trail along the east side of I01 as you get closer to
Pioneer the most beautiful majestic pines that are so huge It s like you re biking up north
through the pines It is just awesome so the loss of trees that needs to be seriously seriously
looked at It s the noise and then it s quiet It s Just so quiet biking through those trees It a just
awesome so I would like to find out you know why the 3 lane road wouldn t work where you ve
got the center lane for your turns It s just like yeah we don t want another Powers Boulevard
coming down there It s just stark It s bare It s ugly as sin so anyway that s my comments
Thank you
Mayor Furlong Other comments Any other comments or questions Tonight at the public
hearing As I understood it and let me matte sure I ve got the dates right The public comment
period even after tonight we ll close out the public heating when everybody s done but public
comments can still be made In written form is that correct W Horn

questions As we continue on now with the next item on our agenda We re going to keep
moving here so ifyou have conversations you want to take them out to the hallway we d
appreciate it so we can keep moving We have consideration of amendments to Chapter 20 of
our zoning codes
CU V AMENDMENT CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 20 ZONING
CONCERNING EAMAI L COURSES AND SHOOTING RANGES
APPRO OF SGJMMARY ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES
Kate Aanertson Thank you Mayor members of the City Council This is actually two items
before you tornight Two code amendments to accomplish the goal that we have here The City
is amending the code to allow for paintball courses and gun ranges in the community so in order
to bove those two uses permitted it would require two code amendments One code amendment
would be in Chapter 11 which would porralt the discharge of firearms in the city in these
approved paintball or gun facilities And the second one in Chapter 20 would provide those
standards for the paintball courses and for the gun ranges
Mayor Furlong Gentlemen I rn song If you d like to continue your conversation outside or if
you could listen thank you
Kate Aanonson I m song thank you
Mayor Furlong No Ms Asaeneon
Kate Aanenson So the Ptamring Commission did hear this item on July 19i They reviewed the
two code amendments and they discussed some of the things that I ll talk about in a Gn1e bit
more detail They did recommend on a 7 to 0 approval othere amendments but they just had a
couple conoerns and the more specifically regarding the conditional use standards and the
interim use itself So the first ordnance amendment would allow for indoor gun ranges and as
established with the two zoning districts that we created and the standards would be that one
they could be permitted in the in the industrial office park and then they d also have could be

TH 101 Improvement Public Hearing for EAIEAW
Page 2
Provide transportation solutions that minimize environmental impacts
Avoid minimize mitigate impacts on environmental social and cultural resources
Minimize need for new right of way takings from park business and residential properties
The project construction is proposed to be financed primarily through Federal Transportation Funding secured through the 2009 regional solicitation process and State funds As a result of the
scope of the proposed improvements and the Federalfunding the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Environmental Assessment Worksheet EA EAW is required to review the potential
environmental impacts of the project The EA EAW document was received by the Council on July
11 2011 and the public hearing was called for August 8 2011
The EA EAW notice was published in the EQB Monitor on June 27 2011 and the public comment
period is proposed to extend from July 11 2011 through August 24 2011 Notice of the public hearing was advertised in the Chanhassen Villager on July 21 2011 and individual public hearing
notices were mailed to property owners in the project area Two neighborhood meetings have been held for the project the first was on December 2 20 10 and the second was on June 22 2011
Representatives of the project consulting team will provide a brief overview of the project and the
EA EAW at the public hearing
DISCUSSION
The EA EAW process requires that a public hearing be held to allow for public comment regarding
the accuracy of the EA EAW document and the potential for the project to have significant impacts
All comments provided either in writing during the public comment period or at the public hearing will be considered and the EA EAW document must be updated to address any substantive
comments Once the continents have been addressed the EA EAW has been updated and it has
been approved by MnDOT and the FHWA the Council will be asked to approve the final document
and make a determination of whether the project has significant environmental impacts The schedule for the final approval and determination of impacts is dependent on the number and nature
of the comments received however we anticipate that the Council will be asked to make the final
determination in November or December 2011

MEMORANDUM
TO Paul Oehme Director of Public Works City Engineer
FROM Alyson Fauske Assistant City Engineer
DATE December 12 2011 04 7
SUBJ 2012 Street Reconstruction Project No 12 01 Accept Feasibility
Study Call Public Hearing
PROPOSED MOTION
The City Council accepts the feasibility report for the 2012 Street
Reconstruction Project No 12 01 and calls the public hearing for January 23
2012
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council
present
BACKGROUND
At the May 9 2011 work session staff reviewed with Council the proposed 2012
Street Reconstruction project
On May 23 2011 the City Council authorized the preparation of the feasibility study
On November 9 2011 a neighborhood meeting was held to discuss the proposed
proj ect
DISCUSSION
Every year the City considers streets that are in poor condition to be rehabilitated or
reconstructed For the 2012 Street Improvement Project staff is proposing to
i
reconstruct approximately 1 1 miles of
streets The street segments within the
proposed project were identified by the
City s Pavement Management software
site investigations and utility problems in
the area
The streets in Minnewashta Heights are 40
years old and cannot be cost effectively
repaired with minor maintenance or even a
bituminous overlay The streets were
sealcoated in 1994 and 1999

Watermain Improvements
The streets are in poor condition
with an average pavement
condition index of 38 A road
under 45 typically indicates
distress that would require a full
depth reconstruction
The west portion of Shore Drive
has a pavement condition index
between 52 and 64 however
these scores are artificially high
since there are three watermain
break patches in this vicinity
The plat for the area shows the
roadway right of way is 50 wide
The existing road section is
bituminous pavement with no
curb and gutter
The watermain in this area is 40 years old and should be replaced at this time The mains are made of
cast iron and ten documented breaks have been recorded in this area Water services between the
lateral watermain and the right of way is proposed to be replaced as well as the curb stop
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Staff has investigated and televised the condition of the sanitary sewer in this area Approximately
1 600 feet of sewer is proposed to be replaced due to the condition of the pipe No sanitary sewer
backup problems have been recorded in this area however a number of pipe sags have been identified
and these areas should be replaced at this time The sanitary sewer services that access these sections
of the pipes are also proposed to be replaced between the lateral sewer and the right of way The
remaining sewer pipe is in good structural condition although some require mineral removal
grouting and or lining to reduce the incidence of inflow and infiltration These minor repair areas are
also proposed to be fixed at this time
Storm Sewer Improvements
The Minnewashta Heights plat area is approximately 56 acres in size and the actual watershed within
the project area is 32 acres Currently there is very little stormwater infrastructure or piping system in

the area The majority of the stormwater runoff generated by this neighborhood discharges directly
into Lake Minnewashta The area is fully developed so construction of new stormwater treatment
ponds to treat run off before it discharges in to Lake Minnewashta is not an option
Three options for stormwater management were reviewed Most likely the final design will be a
combination of the three The options staff has looked at are as follows
Option A This option would pipe approximately 8 65 acres of storm sewer runoff from the central
portion of the project area to an existing storm sewer pond west of the project area A portion of the
TH 7 runoff that currently is treated in this pond would need to be diverted to the west Staff has
worked out the details for the TH 7 stormwater diversion and is having MnDot review this plan The
northwest portion of the development would be treated in a dry pond in the Minnewashta Heights
Park open space This pond would hold water after larger storm events but would be dry and mowed
most of the time The southern half of the project area would be treated with small rain gardens
These rain gardens would be constructed in the right of way and on private property The gardens
would be optional for residents that would like to participate and take on maintenance of the gardens
These gardens would only be constructed where they show the most benefit This option is the most
disruptive to the neighborhood and the most expensive

Option B This option is similar to Option A but the runoff treated in the westerly pond would only
be the runoff from Maplewood Circle The storm sewer pipe that proposed in Option A that would be

pond would treat 2 74 acres of the project site The rest of the stormwater improvements would be

An Iron Enhanced Sand Filtration system is an
underground treatment system that captures suspended
solids particulate phosphorus and dissolved phosphorus
The iron forms rust iron oxide and the dissolved
phosphorus attaches to these iron oxides thereby removing
it from the stormwater runoff
This system is also known as the Minnesota Filter because
it was developed at the St Anthony Falls Laboratory at the
University of Minnesota Several communities such as St
Louis Park and Prior Lake and watershed districts have
used this system successfully for stormwater treatment where standard treatment ponds are not an
option
Raingardens biofiltration areas are stormwater
management practices intended to mimic natural conditions
They treat runoff from smaller drainage areas and promote
infiltration which reduces the volume of water getting to
Lake Minnewashta and removes the nutrient load associated
with the infiltrated volume These areas may be planted
with a variety of plants ranging from prairie species to a
perennial garden to shrubs and mulch
Raingardens have been installed on homeowner properties
along Pontiac Circle and Foxford Road and in Lake Ann
Park There are no specific areas within the proposed project area where raingardens would be
required Participation in the raingarden program would be voluntary
A holding cell is an area where stormwater runoff
is temporarily held as it is slowly released
downstream The holding cell would be an open
grassed area
The final stormwater design will be presented at
the public hearing in January based on the
feedback received from the neighborhood meeting
and the costs associated with each alternative
The feasibility report was prepared by WSB
Associates A copy of the feasibility report is
available in the Engineering Department

A neighborhood meeting was held on November 9 2011 to discuss the proposed project and to
answer questions Approximately 35 people representing over 20 properties attended All of the
residents questions were answered at the meeting and or with a follow up after the meeting
PROJECT FUNDING
Funding for the project is anticipated to come from several sources Forty percent 40 of the street
improvement costs would be assessed back to the benefiting property owners per the City s
assessment practice The remaining 60 of the street cost would be a City cost All of the utility
replacement and storm sewer costs will be paid by the City
Funding Source Amount Feasibility Study
Budgeted Estimate
Streets Assessments Revolving Assessment Fund 1 700 000 1 579 800
Watermain Water Utility Fund 700 000 479 200
Sanitary Sewer Sewer Utility Fund 300 000 227 500
Storm Sewer Surface Water Utility Fund 400 000 287 130 to 392 830
3 100 000 2 575 530 to 2 681 230
The estimated costs include 10 contingency and 10 indirect costs
It is proposed that the five lots that constitute Minnewashta Heights Park be assessed for the project
This is consistent with past projects The estimated assessments are calculated as follows
Total Estimated Street Improvement Cost 1 581 700
Assessed 40 of 1 581 700 632 680
91 lots assessed 632 680 91 lots 6 952 53 lot
The estimated assessment assumes a standard pavement section of 2 of sand 1 of Class 5 and 3 5 of
bituminous Staff has requested that the soils engineer provide an alternative pavement design using
fabric or other technology to reduce the amount of sand and or Class 5 thereby reducing the street
cost and assessment This recommendation will be available prior to the public hearing
At the neighborhood meeting residents expressed an interest in upgrading the street lights within the
neighborhood The City owns two street lights on Maplewood Circle These street lights are in poor
condition and should be replaced Staff has requested Xcel to submit a price to replace these street
lights with Xcel s standard street lights The remaining street lights in the project area are owned by
Xcel and are cobra head type fixtures that are attached to wood poles Staff has contacted Xcel to
obtain costs to upgrade the existing street lights within the project If the property owners want to
replace these lights the cost to upgrade would be assessed to the properties Xcel should have the
estimated costs to staff in January 2012

e City uses a Pavement Management System to monitor the condition of the City streets While proper preventative maintenance extends the
of the street and is cost effective a street will eventually deteriorate to a point that further maintenance is no longer cost effective
habilitation projects extend the life of the street In cases with utility or poor sub grade needs to be replaced or where streets have deteriorated
a point where rehabilitation will no longer be practical reconstruction of the street is necessary A feasibility study is written to consider the

Our thoughts on the reconstruction on Maplewood Circle are that we don t feel that curb and gutter are
needed in this type of neighborhood we are not high end homes here With the economy the way it is we
would like to see only necessary repairs done
In regards to our cul de sac we would like for the center island to remain as it helps slow traffic down
since we have a lot of turn arounds on our road The center island may need to be downsized but we
would like to still have a center island it really does help slow traffic down It would also prevent
someone from driving down our road not knowing it s a dead end and drive straight into our house with it
being so close to the road

Wetland Alteration Permit for the grading and filling of wetlands on
site
On September 25 2006 the Chanhassen City Council approved the Final
Plat for Pioneer Pass Planning Case 06 09 However the plat was
never recorded nor was the development contract executed The project
was therefore voided
On April 24 2006 the Chanhassen City Council approved the following
Un
Comprehensive plan Land Use Amendment from Residential Medium Density and
Office Industrial to Residential Low Density of the land within the Plat of Pioneer Pass except
for Outlots within the Bluff Creek primary zone contingent on Metropolitan Council review
The Metropolitan Council subsequently reviewed the amendment and found it in conformance
with the metropolitan system plans consistent with the Regional Development Framework and
that it has no impacts on the plans of other units of government

city park will be final graded and the development will
have city streets sewer and water constructed for the north
half of the project
The property is zoned Residential Low and Medium
Density District RLM and is guided for residential low

GRADING
The grading and retaining wall construction for this phase is being completed under Addendum
A to the Pioneer Pass development contract approved by the City Council on September 26
2011 The grading done under Addendum A is covered by the security posted with the first
addition
Material from the 2 Addition final plat area was placed in the city park on the west side of
Bluff Creek Boulevard The park property was not graded according to the approved plan due to
placement of additional fill Staff is working with the developer and the developer s engineer to
resolve this issue
UTILITIES
Trunk sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the proposed
development were constructed with the 2005 MUSA
Expansion Improvements City Project 04 05 Lateral
sanitary sewer within the development will extend from
the existing trunk facilities within Bluff Creek Boulevard
Due to the grade variation within the site some segments
of the sanitary sewer will exceed 16 feet in depth Sanitary
sewer that is 16 to 26 feet deep must be SDR 26 sewer in
excess of 26 feet deep must be SDR 18
In order to minimize the depth of the pipe lateral sanitary
sewer will extend from Bluff Creek Boulevard through
Outlot B of the first addition through the back of Lots 3 5
Block 1 and through the side yard of Lots 5 and 6 Block 1
to Hemlock Way The pipe between Lots 5 and 6 is
between 20 6 and 28 7 deep If the pipe needed to be
repaired in the future traditional open cut method would
not be possible due to the proximity of the homes
therefore this sewer segment must be installed within a steel casing pipe
Lateral watermain will extend from the existing eight inch stub off of the trunk watermain within
Bluff Creek Boulevard and the existing lateral within the first phase
The property is subject to sanitary sewer and water hookup charges for all of the lots A portion
of these fees will be collected with the final plat and is calculated as follows
Partial Payment of Sanitary Sewer Hookup 53 units x 608 unit 32 224 00
Partial Payment of Watermain Hookup 53 units x 1 618 unit 85 754 00
The remainder of these hookup fees will be collected with the building permit at the rate in effect
at that time The Met Council SAC charge will also be collected with the building permit

4 Section 20 501 of the City Code explains the purpose and intent of PUD zoning In
return for greater flexibility than allowed in standard zoning the City has the expectation
that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive
proposal than would have been the case with the use of other more standard zoning
districts The Applicant has the burden of proving that these expectations will be met as
evaluated against certain specified criteria The criteria and our findings with respect to
them are
Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive
environmental features including steep slopes mature trees creeks wetlands lakes and
scenic views
This development plan has not been designed with greater preservation sensitivity
than is required by a standard zoning district The proposal meets the minimum
1
275
requirement for preservation required in all zoning districts The development
plan includes extensive grading resulting in the elimination of the existing tree
canopy except for the area within the protected wetland and undeveloped
preservation area The retaining wall on the west side of the site has the
minimum required setback and does not provide greater protection of the natural
resources expected for a PUD
More efficient and effective use of land open space and public facilities through mixing
of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels
There is no mix of land uses and there is no assembly of land into large parcels
High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses including both
existing and planned development Site planning landscaping and building architecture
should reflect higher quality design than is found elsewhere in the community
The development plan does not reflect higher quality design than is found
elsewhere in the community The development plan and the design of the building
does not even meet the minimum standards of City Code Chapter 20 Article
XUR Division 7 Design Standards for Commercial Industrial and Office
Development District The development plan is deficient in the following ways
The architecture does not meet the 50 percent facade transparency
requirement
The proposed development does not provide adequate distribution of green
space
Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along
significant corridors within the City
The proposed development is located along Trunk Highway 5 which is a
significant City corridor The proposal meets minimum requirements The
development plan has not been designed with greater sensitivity than required for
a standard zoning district
Development which is consistent with the comprehensive development plan
The subject site is guided Office Industrial and Commercial The Comprehensive
Development Plan states A new zoning district CC Community Commercial
will be created in the City Code to implement this land use The Community
Commercial zoning district has now been established to implement the
commercial guiding The development plan does not meet the requirements for
the Community Commercial district because the footprint of the proposed
building exceeds 65 000 square feet
276
Parks and open space The creation of public open space may be required by the City
Such park and open space shall be consistent with the comprehensive park development
plan and overall trail development plan
Not applicable
Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate within the PUD
Not applicable
Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and
the clustering of buildings and land uses
This criterion is satisfied
Use of traffic management and design techniques including the provision of transit and
pedestrian linkages to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts Improvements to area
roads and intersections may be required as appropriate Where appropriate the use of
transportation demand management strategies may be required within a project
The development plan would result in serious traffic conflicts including
U turns Most of the traffic to the site will come from Powers Boulevard and
Highway 5 Many vehicles using the right out at the eastern access of the
site will make a U turn movement to return to Powers Boulevard and
Highway S This will create traffic conflicts and the potential for serious
accidents
Weaving between vehicles making a right turn out of the east access and
vehicles making the right turn into the west access
The development plan has essentially 1 2 access points because the east
access is only a right in right out which is minimal for the size of retail
facility being proposed Truck delivery access is proposed to use the same
access points as the shoppers
5 The proposed development does not meet the intent of PUD zoning The development
would not result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive land use than would
be the case with the use of a standard zoning district PUD zoning is not meant to be
used as a mechanism to simply circumvent the restrictions in standard zoning districts
6 Chapter 20 Article XXIV of the City Code provides minimum requirements for parking
and loading berths The PUD development plan is not in compliance with the following
requirements
3
277
Off street parking requirements City Code Sec 20 1124 2 s
The 528 parking spaces provided do not meet the City Code for ratio of 5 stalls per 1 000
square feet of building Based on a 117 278 square foot building 586 stalls are required
The Applicant has provided a parking study that it believes demonstrates that the
Applicant needs only 4 5 stalls per 1 000 However the Applicant s recommended ratio
excludes the factor of snow storage and effective parking supply The study defines
effective parking supply as the number of occupied spaces at optimum operating
efficiency Parking lots are typically perceived as full at less than the actual total
capacity Kimley Horn Study dated March 32 2011 The study also states that snow
storage may have a significant effect on usable parking supply for three to five months
out of the year The parking ratio recommended in the study does not accommodate snow
storage or effective parking The net effect of this proposed development plan including
the use of compact stalls and using a reduced parking ratio will have an effective parking
standard of 3 17 spaces per thousand This is well below the requirements of the City
ordinance The minimum parking requirements cannot be ignored because of anything
that may be unique to the Applicant because zoning runs with the land and the property
could be sold to another retailer
The parking provided takes advantage of 19 percent compact parking stalls The City
Code allows up to 25 percent compact parking however these compact stalls are not
permitted for high turnover parking lots Retail use is a high turnover parking operation
In addition compact stalls are partially located within the loading and maneuvering area
which is prohibited by City Code
Off street loading facilities City Code Sec 20 1142 et seq
The design of the loading berths does not comply with the City Code in the following
respects
a Location All berths beyond one shall be separated from areas used for
off street parking
The berths are not separated from areas used for off street parking
b Access Each required off street parking berth shall be so designed as to
avoid interference with other vehicular pedestrian or rail access or use of
public street alleys or other public transportation systems
The loading berths interfere with vehicular access because truck
maneuvering encroaches into required parking drive aisles
C Design All loading areas shall consist of a maneuvering area in addition
to the berth and shall not use any of that portion of the site containing
parking stalls Maneuvering areas shall be of such size to permit the
backing of truck tractors and coupled trailers into a berth without blocking
the use of other berths drives maneuvering areas or public right of way
278
Truck circulation encroaches and blocks required parking drive aisles
and pedestrian access
7 The current zoning of the site IOP is consistent with the City s Comprehensive Plan and
allows reasonable use of the property
8 The Applicant has failed to document sufficient reasons to rezone the property to PUD

At the May 23 2011 City Council work session City Council directed staff to eliminate the
rental housing licensing program It was felt that since the program began most of the rental
housing had been brought up to rental housing standards Also since the program began there
have not been a significant number of violations a total of 53 violations were documented
between October 2003 and January 2010 Additionally the housing maintenance requirement of
city code has addressed many of the aesthetic concerns for rental property The property
maintenance code requires all property to be maintained not just residential property

SUBJ Adoption of the Final 2012 Budget and CIP
C 4 2
PROPOSED MOTION
The City Council adopts a resolution establishing the 2012 final levy at
10 153 690 and approves total general fund expenditures of 9 616 600 It
also approves the CIP for 2012 2016 in the total amount of 73 479 100
Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of the City Council
The City of Chanhassen has gone through an extensive process evaluating its
budgets and capital improvement plans CIP for 2012 through 2016 This
process culminated with the public budget meeting last Monday Staff is
recommending that the 2012 Budget and CIP be adopted as presented
Park Recreation BACKGROUND
Phone 952 227 1120
Fax 952 227 1110 The preliminary general fund budget was set at 9 659 300
for a total levy of 10 236 390 Since setting the preliminary levy staff worked
Recreation Center diligently to look for opportunities to lower the budget and levy while not 2310 Coulter Boulevard impacting service levels Listed below are all the items that have changed since Phone 952 227 1400 the preliminary levy was set in September Fax 952 227 1404
Planning 1 The cost to provide healthcare for employees increased 2 62 and staff
Natural Resources budgeted 15 in setting the preliminary levy This cost savings Phone 952 227 1130 437 500 allowed for the additional fire department funding 20 000 Fax 952 227 1110 to remain in the budget and restored wage increases from 1 to 1 5

equipment replacement fund to the revolving assessment construction
fund Staff felt this was a better fit for its funding source This saves the
capital equipment replacement fund 125 000 in 2012 and 75 000 in
2014 Secondly a badly needed pay loader EQ 126 was added to the
2012 capital equipment replacement fund in the amount of 170 000
This is the amount needed to fund the pay loader after a trade in of
24 000 This cost savings along with an additional 50 000 in levy
dollars for the capital equipment replacement fund in 2012 will fund the
cost of the pay loader The additional 50 000 levy for the capital
equipment replacement fund is available because of removing the fire
station 3 levy
4 Staff continued to look for general fund cost savings and found two
additional items First the crime prevention specialist recently requested
that the position be permanently reduced from 40 hours per week to 32
hours Staff felt this request could be granted without impacting service
levels This would result in a 14 700 savings to the general fund
Secondly staff reviewed the police contract and in working with the
sheriff determined that the vacant contract assistant position would not
be filled in 2012 This position was responsible for assisting the
commander with contract administration crime mapping and analysis
and working on the countywide crime alert system The position was
vacant in 2011 This will save the city 28 000 year
The net effect of these changes results in a 42 700 reduction in general fund
expenditures or 1 000 less than 2011 levels In addition it also results in an
82 700 reduction in tax levy dollars from the preliminary levy for a total of
113 700 1 1 lower than the final 2011 levy
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 2011 Budget and CIP as

Due to the state bid pricing we are able to trade our skid loaders off annually for approximately 14 00 per hour Buying new every year
guarantees there will be no other expenses except oil changes and grease jobs because the machine will always have a warranty This approach is
also a better cost benefit over keeping the machines for 15 years There is no guarantee on the state bid pricing or the trade in price so we will be
pricing annually to determine if it is a fair deal or if we should hold on to the machine for another year

Total Project Cost 170 000
Justification
The 920 Caterpillar wheel loader was purchased in 1971 and will be 41 years old in 2012 This loader is mainly used at the shop for loading trucks with material but it is also used for cleaning out around hydrants after snow events The bottom of the unit has significant structural
rusting it is in need of a complete brake overhaul the hydraulic system is poor and the differential is leaking This piece of equipment needs to be
reliable for loading trucks with salt during ice and snow emergencies Staff is proposing to replace the 920 Caterpillar and use the 936 Caterpillar loader as the shop loader The 936 Caterpillar loader is 25 years old The loader replacement for the 920 Caterpillar will be used on a plow route
that is currently done by the 936 Caterpillar Staff feels trading in the 920 Caterpillar loader at this time is a better option than having the loader sold at auction If this purchase is delayed any longer a minimum of 6 will be added to the purchase price of a new loader because of new
required emissions equipment

Description Total Project Cost 10 700 000
Annual project to rehabilitate and reconstruct streets in the City Current 5 year plan shows the following neighborhood areas
2012 Greenbriar Fir Tree Elm Tree Dogwood Shore Drive and Maplewood Circle Reconstruction
2013 Greenwood Shores
2014 Dartmouth Drive and Cypress Drive
2015 Carver Beach area south and west of Carver Beach Road
2016 North Manor Road Washta Bay Road Tanagers Lane Sandpiper Lane Piper Ridge Lane and Minnewashta Woods Drive
Justification
The City uses a Pavement Management System to monitor the condition of the City streets While proper preventative maintenance extends the life of the street and is cost effective a street will eventually deteriorate to a point that further maintenance is no longer cost effective
Rehabilitation projects extend the life of the street In cases with utility or poor sub grade needs to be replaced or where streets have deteriorated
to a point where rehabilitation will no longer be practical reconstruction of the street is necessary A feasibility study is written to consider the
merits of the project and scope of work

This project proposes to work cooperatively with the Parks Department to identify possible stormwater treatment best management practices and
incorporate them into the design and construction of the trail This is likely to include ponding within the right of way ditches the installation of
additional storm sewer pipe and structures and possibly the utilization of pervious pavement sections in part of the trial
Justification
Bluff Creek Drive is a steep road with minimal storm sewer infrastructure and no stormwater treatment As a result of these conditions numerous
gullies have developed on private property which are threatening these properties as well as Seminary Fen Five of the six watershed areas
tributary to Bluff Creek Drive are identified in the Surface Water Management Plan as needing additional ponding and treatment

This project would stabilize the slope next to the storm water pond The project includes removing the unstable soils from the slope installing
draintile and replacing them with better materials
Justification
The slope next to the storm water pond is not stable at this time This pond was constructed along with the Laredo Drive Street Improvement project The contractor which constructed the pond tried several times to stabilize the slope unsuccessfully Do to the nature of the soil
unexpected springs and groundwater wet weather since the pond was completed and lack of mature vegetation the slope never stabilized If the slope is not stabilized soon the movement of soil could impact private property

Planning means of financing city wide improvements recommended in the SWMP
Natural Resources Connection fees are charged to subdivisions prior to final plat approval to recoup the
Phone 952 227 1130 costs of the installation and maintenance of public storm water infrastructure Fax 952 227 1110
The connection charges were derived from estimating the costs of all the pipes and Public Works
7901 Park Place ponds proposed in the SWMP The total cost has been apportioned so developments
Phone 952 227 1300 are charged according to the number of acres developed and the land use The fee per
Fax 952 227 1310 acre varies by land use as a result of the amount of impervious surface allowed within

Sewer and Water Fees Section 4 30 c 5
For 2012 the Ehlers Associates study recommends a six percent increase to the water hook up
and connection fees and a four percent increase to the sewer hook up and connection fees
Hook up fees are also known as area trunk fees
A lateral connection charge replaces a missed assessment When the City installs a pipe next to a
property some owners choose not to connect In some instances the City may not have assessed
the property owner for their portion of the pipe When those properties eventually connect the
lateral connection charge approximately covers the cost of the omitted assessment These
charges are only levied in rare instances Trunk hook up charges on the other hand are for core
utility infrastructure such as wells lift stations and trunk main oversizing Every new lot in the
City that hooks up to the utility system pays a trunk hook up charge
Hook up fees paid at the time of final residential subdivision approval increase from 608 00 to
632 00 unit sewer and 1 618 00 to 1 715 00 unit water The remainders of the sewer and
water hook up fees are collected with the building permit at the rate in effect at that time The

total sanitary hook up fee is increasing from 2 026 to 2 107 and the total water hook up fee is
increasing from 5 393 to 5 717 Parcels within the Lake Ann Sewer District will also be
subject to the Lake Ann Trunk sewer fees in addition to the sewer trunk hook up fees The Lake
Ann Interceptor hook up fee is increasing from 1 734 to 1 803 and the sub trunk fee is
increasing from 1 818 to 1 891 Commercial industrial and institutional developments pay the
total hook up fee at the time of building permit Trunk hook up fees are based on the number of
sanitary access charge SAC units assigned by Metropolitan Council for office or
industrial commercial buildings
Lateral connection charges are charges for utility infrastructure which has been constructed by
the City but was not assessed to or paid for a property Sewer lateral connection charges increase
from 6 783 00 to 7 054 00 and water lateral connection charges increase from 6 657 00 to
7 056 00
Sewer Access Charge
The Metropolitan Council amends their Sewer Access Charge SAC fee annually For 2012 the
SAC fee has been raised from 2 230 00 to 2 365 00 Rather than having to amend our
ordinance annually to incorporate the Metropolitan Council s revised fee the City in 2011
amended the language to reference that the fee is established by the Metropolitan Council The
total SAC fee for 2012 is 2 440 00 per unit which includes a 75 00 City surcharge
Utility Rates Section 4 45
In 2007 the city experienced significant water usage events that lead the city to add tiers to our
water rates and adopt the tiered rate structure in 2008 In 2011 the City added a fifth tier for
household and irrigation use that is more than 99 000 gallons per quarter For 2012 the Ehlers
Associates study recommends a two percent increase to the water utility rates for Tiers 1 4 and
the bulk rate and a three percent increase for Tier 5

Rate Analysis
Executive Summary
October 2011
Key Findings The City of Chanhassen has requested Ehlers Associates to update the utility rate analysis
to review rates for 2012 and beyond In the 2010 report we
recommended that the City add a fifth water usage tier By doing so the City was able to hold
water usage rates at a 0 increase Last year s report recommended incremental rate
increases for 2012 and beyond This report reiterates those findings We have completed the review
and determined that there are small rate increases proposed for connection charges platting fees and area charges
for water sanitary sewer and storm water for 2012 These rate increases are consistent
with the rate increases proposed for 2012 in prior year s report EHLERS LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE www ehlers inc com Minnesota phone 651 897 8500 3080 Centre Pointe Drive Offices also in Wisconsin and Illinois fax 651 697 8555 Roseville MN 56113 1122 toll free 800 552 1171

Water Utility Fund
The City accounts for both operations and expansion of the system in one fund We have split these
functions into the Operating portion of the fund and the Trunk portion
of the fund The City s water infrastructure is the cost driver in the water fund as a whole
The following chart shows the annual cost breakdown in 2012 and 2019 for operating and capital costs for
the water system The capital costs and related debt service are expected to increase steadily over the next five years
This is a trend that has been illustrated in past studies Capital and debt increase to over 1 3 of total
utility costs which is due to the debt service related
to the water treatment plant in 2018 2012 Water Utility Costs Capital and Debt 32 2019 Water Utility Costs
Capital and Debt 37 iation The City is building a water system to serve its residents and businesses
on the hottest driest days of summer that produce peak demand The City has taken steps to reduce
this peak demand such as every other day watering but summer water consumption continues to be 2 5 times
as high as winter water demand largely due to irrigation To meet
the increased demand for water the
City will need to invest in additional infrastructure in particular the additional water treatment plant scheduled for
2019 Usage Rates and Targeted Cash Reserves The proposed rates impose the lowest increases possible that will
still leave the City s water system in good financial health As was stated above growth and the
pressure of water usage during peak demand times is driving operating and capital costs In order to
meet these needs usage rates and connection fees will need to be increased Sufficient cash balances need to be maintained
in order to assure smooth operation of the entire water system The City has
set the cash reserve target to
be six months worth of operating costs plus 15 of accumulated depreciation The following graph shows the projected cash balances as measured against cash reserves 2 Onerating

The cash balance in the operating portion of the fund has dropped below the target reserve amount
because growth has slowed in the City of Chanhassen Growth is projected to slowly increase to 170
residential units per year in 2015 and beyond Actual water usage decreased by 10 between 2009 and
2010 Weather patterns are the biggest determinant of usage Our projections are based on lower water
use that was experienced during 2010 We have projected a small 2 5 increase in water usage
beginning in 2013 If water usage increases faster than this estimate ending cash balance may be closer to
its target balance
The water fund will maintain adequate cash to pay for expansion of the water system and provide for
operating needs
Currently the City s water usage tiers are as follows
Tier 1 0 6 000 gallons
Tier 2 6 001 to 24 000 gallons
Tier 3 24 001 to 48 000 gallons
Tier 4 48 001 to 99 000 gallons
Tier 5 Over 99 000 gallons does not apply to commercial customers
Water rate increases are necessary to meet higher projected future operating capital and debt costs The
proposed water rate changes are shown in the following chart

We are anticipating the need to increase usage rates on Tiers 1 4 by 2 in 2012 and 2013 and 3
per year thereafter Rates for Tier 5 are projected to increase 3 annually beginning in 2012 These
rate increases are consistent with the findings from the prior year s report Depending on actual
water usage patterns over the next year the city may need to consider a rate increase higher than 2 in 2013
in order to maintain the financial health of
the water utility In addition to the usage charges above the City of Chanhassen collects a fixed quarterly charge
of 5 01 As with usage rates it will be necessary for the fixed fee to increase We are
recommending this fixed charge increase by 12c to 5 13 in 2012 Beginning in 2012 the fixed charge would increase
at the same percentage as Tier 1 4 2 per year in 2012 and 2013 and 3
per year thereafter

Water Capital Improvements
The capital improvement plans for the water operating and trunk funds are attached in Exhibit B which
begins on page 14 of this report
The timing of the following planned capital improvements includes
Elevated storage tank in 2016
Water treatment plant in 2018
Painting of the Arboretum water tower which was moved back one year to 2016
Painting the Lake Lucy Water Storage Stand and Pipes and Well 915 in 2013
Water Connection Fees
We are recommending that water connection and platting fees increase 6 in 2012 and 2013 and 7
annually thereafter This recommendation is consistent with the prior year s report Connection fees are
an important source of revenue needed to expand the water system and pay for the second treatment plant
The water connection fund will maintain adequate cash to pay for expansion of the water system The
cash balance of the trunk fund will be sufficient to provide for capital costs We have projected two bond
issues in 2013 and 2016 which would provide financing for capital projects scheduled in those years The
graph below shows the anticipated cash balance in the trunk portion of the fund

Sanitary Sewer Fund
The City of Chanhassen is part of the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services MCES regional
treatment system The single biggest expense in the operation of
the sewer system is the MCES disposal charge The City does not control the annual fees established
by MCES and those fees have increased significantly in the last three years The Met Council
is also facing pressures on operating rates as new construction of residential and commercial has slowed in
the region If the MCES rates are lower than anticipated in 2013 and later the City may be
able
to correspondingly lower its
rate

sewer rate 5 per year There was no rate increase in 2011 The City has been able
to raise rates more slowly than MCES by postponing capital improvements and using cash in the sewer
operating fund However beginning in 2012 the City will need to begin increasing rates The prior year
s study projected a 6 annual increase in 2012 and 2013 and 5 annual increases thereafter Currently
this analysis projects a 3 increase in 2012 a 6 in 2013 and 7 increases in 2014 and 2015
We are projecting a 5 increase in 2016 and thereafter The delay in the rate increase was
accomplished due
to the fact that actual 2010 ending cash balances were better than projected We are projecting that the fixed quarterly
fee of 19 45 which includes up to 6 000 gallons
of sewer discharge should
increase to 20 04 This is a 3 increase Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvements The capital improvement plans
for the sanitary sewer funds are attached in Exhibit B which begins on page 14 of
this report The timing of the following planned capital improvements
has been changed LS Trunk Lift Station 10 has been added for
2013 The vactor sewer jetting truck has been moved from 2015 to 2016 VA
489
Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees
As with the prior year s report we are recommending that sanitary sewer connection and platting
fees increase 4 in 2012 and annually thereafter Connection and platting fees are an important source
of revenue needed to expand the sanitary sewer
system Target Cash Reserves Sanitary Sewer
Funds Adequate cash reserves are needed to accommodate cash flow needs fund emergency repairs
and save for larger future capital projects The recommended rates keep the fee increases as low
as possible and still leave the City s sewer system in adequate financial health The
projected cash balances for the sanitary sewer funds are shown in the following graphs The target cash
reserve equals 9 months of operating expenses The target reserve is lower for sanitary sewer than
water because replacement costs are expected to be less for the sanitary sewer system than the

to implement annual rate increases in 2012 Growth is anticipated to slowly increase to 170 residential
units per year in 2015 At that time the cash in the sewer operating fund begins to grow and
is expected to reach the target reserve level by 2019 The sewer connection fund
is also expected to have adequate cash to pay for the capital costs of expanding Chanhassen s sanitary
sewer system The graph that follows shows the projecting ending trunk fund cash
balance and capital costs The cash balance declines in 2013 and 2018 when trunk lift station improvements are

The projected cash balances will be adequate to meet on going storm water expenditures which include
pond maintenance street reconstruction projects implementing the surface water management plan and
acquiring land for future storm water retention We also expect capital needs will grow as the state
develops more regulatory requirements relating to storm water run off and contaminated storm water
ponds The planned capital improvements are shown in Exhibit B which begins on page 14 of this report

The projected cash balances will be adequate to meet on going storm water expenditures which include
pond maintenance street reconstruction projects implementing the surface water management plan and
acquiring land for future storm water retention We also expect capital needs will grow as the state
develops more regulatory requirements relating to storm water run off and contaminated storm water
ponds The planned capital improvements are shown in Exhibit B which begins on page 14 of this report

Cash Balances and Financing Capital Improvements
The proposed rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay routine operating expenses pay for capital
improvements to upgrade and expand the system and provide prudent cash balances Adequate cash
balances allow the City to
Weather changing circumstances without rapidly increasing rates
Use cash to pay for many capital improvements and reduce the frequency of borrowing and
Maintain its bond rating from Standard and Poor s
The study assumes that the City will finance utility improvements if there is not sufficient cash available
No financing is expected for storm water improvements or utility improvements made in connection with
11
493
street replacement projects In practice the City staff will continue to use the rate study s financing plan
as a guide and in consultation with its independent financial advisor consider when and how much debt
to incur in any given year
Summary
The economic and real estate crisis continues to affect the City of Chanhassen The City is facing
reduced utility revenues from connection fees and area charges and slower revenue growth than
previously anticipated from user fees Furthermore the City s ability to pass along cost increases to its
customers is constrained
The City staff and Ehlers are recommending the following to manage the financial squeeze on the utility
funds
1 Postpone capital improvements when feasible
2 Use cash balances in the utility operating funds
3 Adopt the proposed rate increases for usage fixed and connection fees across the City s Water
Sewer and Storm Sewer Funds
The City s utility funds continue to be well managed and the City s utility rates are competitive in the
region A chart comparing Chanhassen s proposed 2012 rates to other communities 2011 rates show
that even with a proposed increase for water Chanhassen maintains relatively affordable utility rates as
shown on Exhibit A page 13 of this report
12
494
Exhibit A Rate Comparison with Other Communities
The graph below compares the proposed 2012 utility rates with the 2011 utility rates for five other metro
communities It shows that the City of Chanhassen continues to offer relatively affordable utility rates to
its residents and businesses
The graph assumes a quarterly residential usage of 27 000 gallons of water and 15 000 gallons of sanitary
sewer
