CITY OF CHANHASSEN Letter of interest Chanhassen City Councilor
I am interested in taking the recently vac ated city councilor position My resume is attached for a more
detailed description of my experiences qualifications and history
From the experiences of my many moves throughout my career and during my 9 years in the city of
Chanhassen I can really appreciate the excellent leadership and high standards this city represents and has
maintained for its citizens This only comes with visionary leadership that is also closely involved and
understands what is needed by the community and its citizens The reason I am seeking this position is to
continue this tradition of excellent leadership further citizen participation in local government and continue
to make Chanhassen the great city it is and has been recognized for over the years My key area of interest is
to maintain the proper balance between development the citizens and community and the environment
My career in the private sector has given me the many experiences needed to excel in this position I have
been involved with business development as a technology leader in the companies I have been employed by
including Dow Chemical Cargill and now Nature Works LLC I have worked with local governments in
India Japan Indonesia Thailand and China trying to find the best fit for the businesses and technologies I
represented Through these experiences I have seen the negative impact that happens when government
leadership does not think of the community first unemployment corruption pollution crime and I have also
seen the positive things that happen when a government does well high levels of employment businesses
wanting to invest low environmental impact safety high standards of living and many more Along with
opportunities to work with government organizations I have had many leadership positions throughout my
career which have taught me how to manage responsibilities and goals and priorities toward an overall
objective These opportunities have resulted in many different successes in my career but the one that I
believe really demonstrates it is when Cargill approached Dow Chemical and said they have a technology to
produce a biodegradable plastic from com Dow s leadership out of the 45 000 people in the company
picked me to go represent Dow in this new to the world business opportunity I was the technology leader as
Dowand Cargill worked to make this wonderful new product a reality It has grown from that initial meeting
between these two companies to a multi million dollar sustainable business for Cargill and I have been
instrumental to the success this business has experienced
I have taken an active role in the Chanhassen government and community I participated in the Lotus Lake
No Wake Committee I am president of the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization Vice President of the Lotus
lake HomeOwners Association and I have been recently appointed to the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
Watershed District Citizen Advisory committee All these organizations are attempting to improve the current
standards through community and government involvement working together for the continuous
improvements wanted by the citizens and community of Chanhassen
If appointed to the vacancy I know I will be a positive influence for the city to continue its leadership among
cities setting the example of how to best meet community needs through the proper balance of development
citizens and community needs and the environment

Mayor and City Council Responsibilities
1 Financial Acumen Without question serving as a Council member in a City of this size
generally requires some sort of minimal financial acumen i e budgeting review of audits
debt analysis and bond sales
2 Organizational ParticipationlManagement Serving as a Council member especially in a
City of our size is a position of organizational leadership This is not to say that those who
have not been part of an organization cannot serve effectively as Council members however
possessing an understanding of the dynamics of an organization as opposed to a self
proprietorship or a partnership does bring with it some advantages The development of
policies ordinances by the Council as a whole
3 Public Interaction Communication Much of what we do here involves communication and
services delivery Understanding the thoughts and actions of a candidate within these areas
might be beneficial to you
4 Planning Land Use Development In any city including those that are not facing the same
development pressures we face here this category is critical In our community we face
daily pressures upon the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan miscellaneous
Watershed Plans and the City Zoning Code The ability to understand and grasp issues of
land use law development issues and strategic long term planning will continue to be
important
5 Optional Plan B Form of Government Optional Plan B embodies the council manager
plan of government Under Plan B the elected city council consists of a mayor and four
council members All policy and legislative decisions are the responsibility of the council
The council delegates the administrative duties to a city manager The manager is
accountable to the council for the effective administration of city business in accordance with
council decisions
These categories are not meant to be exclusive of any others I have simply tried to categorize
to the best of my ability areas in which Council members operate I would also recommend that

SUBJ City Code Issue Paper
BACKGROUND
In anticipation of the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan staff is preparing
an update of the City Code to coincide with its adoption Staff has reviewed the
City Code and come up with issues shortfalls and general updates and
recognizes pertinent additions that are warranted by the adoption of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan Due to thenumber of changes staff will be presenting
them in sections over the next few work sessions
In some cases staff has offered a potential change to a specific section as a general
update or known issue Staff is requesting input and guidance with regard to the
identified issues before we proceed with a recommendation Overall staff is
requesting feedback for the proposed code updates Based on that feedback code
amendments and recommendations will follow at a later date
ANA YLSIS
See attached section of the city code
DIRECTION
The Planning Staff is looking to the City Council for feedback with regard to the
attached City Code issues

CHAPTER 20 Z0NING
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
1 ISSUE The PUD specifically states that the PUD shall be reviewed simultaneously
with Chapter 18 and Chapter 20 Article II Division 6 Articles V VI and VII
However it does not specifically state the remaining underlying Chanhassen City
Code standards shall apply when an issue is not specifically addressed in the PUD
Development Contract i e dimensional letters for signage
In such case if the individual PUD agreement does not specifically call out these
ordinances they cannot be strictly enforced Staff suggests adding a subsection
within the Planned Unit Development District that will encompass all underlying
zoning ordinances to prevail unless other wise addressed in the PUD agreement
PROPOSED CHANGE Amend Section 20 504 by adding subsection d as shown
below
Sec 20 504 Coordination with other zoning regulations
a Subdivision review under Chapter 18 shall be carried out simultaneously with the
review of a PUD The plans required under this chapter shall be submitted in
addition to or in a form which will satisfy the requirements of chapter 18 for the
preliminary and final plat
b Site plan review under article II division 6 of this chapter shall be carried out for
each nonsingle family or duplex principal structure that is proposed
c PUD plans shall be coordinated with and in compliance with provisions of articles V
VI and VII of this chapter
d In the event the PUD zoning ordinance or agreement is silent on an issue the
underlying Chanhassen City Code standards shall prevail
2 ISSUE There are issues with the mandatory setback and buffer requirements in the
Planned Unit Development section of the City Code The buffer requirements are
overly restrictive and prevent implementation of other planning goals e g street front
retail Staff proposes that these setback standards be developed in conjunction with
the design and approval of each project rather than a one size fits all standard
When the PUD standards were originally developed the City did not have a specific
buffer yard ordinance In 1996 the City adopted specific buffer yard requirements
Sec 20 501 Intent
1
25
Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the
relaxation of most nomzal zoning district standards The use of the PUD zoning also
allows for a greater variety of uses internal transfers of density construction phasing
and a potential for lower development costs In exchange for this enhanced
flexibility 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 Emphasis added
The above paragraph discusses the enhanced flexibility however the imposition of
the strict standards is contradictory to the overall intent of the PUD
In order to maintain a basis for negotiation for setback requirements staff proposes
reducing the minimum setback standards to allow for more flexibility Staff will be
referencing the buffer yard requirements to determine the minimum setback
requirments within a PUD The minimum setback requirement is dependant on the
adjacent use

Finally staff would provide a basis or criteria for the City to either increase the
required setbacks or reduce the setbacks in order to implement community goals e g
affordable housing street front retail enhanced public spaces etc
Sec 20 505 Required General Standards
f The setback for all buildings within a PUD from any abutting street line shall be
30 feet for local streets and 50 feet from railroad lines or collector or arterial
streets as designated in the comprehensive plan except that in no case shall the
setback be less than the height of the building up to a maximum of 100 feet The
setback for all buildings from exterior PUD lot lines not abutting a public street
shall be 30 feet except that in no case shall the setback be less than the height of
the building up to a maximum of 100 feet Building setbacks from internal public
streets shall be determined by the City based on characteristics of the specific
2
26
PUD Parking lots and driving lanes shall be setback at least 20 feet from all
exterior lot lines of a PUD
The setback for parking structures including decks and ramps shall be 35 feet
from local streets and 50 feet from all other street classifications except that in no
case shall the setback be less than the height of the structure Parking structure
setbacks from external lot lines shall be 50 feet or the height of the structure
whichever is greater where adjacent to residential property 35 feet when adjacent
to nonresidential properties Parking structures setbacks from internal public or
private streets shall be determined by the City based on characteristics of the
specific PUD
Where industrial uses abut developed or platted single family lots outside the
PUD greater exterior building and parking setbacks may be required in order to
provide effective screening The City Council shall make a determination
regarding the adequacy of screening proposed by the applicant Screening may
include the use of natural topography or earth berming existing and proposed
plantings and other features such as roadways and wetlands which provide
separation of uses PUD s must be developed in compliance with buffer yard
requirements established by the comprehensive plan
m Buffer yards The City Comprehensive Plan establishes a requirement for buffer
yards Buffer yards are to be established in areas indicated on the plan where
higher intensity uses interface with low density uses In these areas a 50 foot
buffer yard is to be provided where the interface occurs along a public street a
100 foot buffer yard is required where the interface occurs on internal lot lines
The buffer yard is an additional setback requirement It is to be cumulatively
calculated with the required setbacks outlined above The full obligation to
provide the buffer yard shall be placed on the parcel containing the higher
intensity use
The buffer yard is intended to provide additional physical separation and
screening for the higher intensity use As such they will be required to be
provided with a combination of berming landscaping and or tree preservation to
maximize the buffering potential To the extent deemed feasible by the City new
plantings shall be designed to require the minimum of maintenance however
such maintenance as may be required to maintain consistency with the approved
plan shall be the obligation of the property owner
Buffer yards shall be covered by a permanently recorded conservation easement
running in favor of the City
In instances where existing topography and or vegetation provide buffering
satisfactory to the City or where quality site planning is achieved the City may
3
27
reduce buffer yard requirements by up to 50 percent The applicant shall have the
full burden of demonstrating compliance with the standards herein
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
ISSUE Staff is in the process of reevaluating all commercial districts this includes
consolidating and creating two new districts Regional and Community Commercial
This corresponds with the City s 2030 Comprehensive Plan discussion
See attached Commercial Zoning Use Matrix
a Reevaluate Neighborhood Central and Highway Business Districts
Nei2hborhood Business District
1 Banks in BN District
Current ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive thru bank in
the BN District Staff is proposing creating standards that would regulate the
drive thru facility These standards would apply to all drive thru windows
throughout the City The facility will be evaluated through the Site Plan Permit
process If an existing building is converted to a bank or other use requiring a
drive thru the conversion will be processed administratively subject to
compliance with the standards
2 Buffer yards in commercial district
The current ordinance requires an excessive buffer yard in addition to a setback in
all commercial districts The original criterion was created to buffer residential
districts from industrial sites In 1993 the Planning Commission recommended
to amend the ordinance in all commercial districts as well as the industrial
districts to increase the buffer A buffer is intended to provide a separation as
well as visual protection from a higher use
Staff has been encountering situations where this added buffer serves no practical
purpose nor does it serve its intent This requirement leads to a variance request
in which a hardship must exist There are other means in providing adequate
buffering that can be much more efficient and effective than a mandatory buffer
area For example the City has a landscaping buffer yard requirement under the
landscaping section of the City Code
3 Drive thru window
4
28
The current ordinance does not address drive thru windows for uses other than
fast food and banks There are uses such as pharmacy dry cleaning etc that
utilize drive thru windows Staff has been regulating them as an accessory use
Staff recommends creating specific standards to address all drive thrus within the
Supplemental Regulations of the City Code
4 BN District Height limitation
The current ordinance limits building height in the BN district to one story Staff
is recommending that if there is an adequate buffer between a residential
neighborhood and a BN District then a three story building and a maximum
height of 35 feet may be permitted These are the same standards as the
Residential Single Family District
5 Uses in the BN District
In the Neighborhood Business District all stand alone restaurants either fast food
or standard require a Conditional Use Permit There are not any standard
regulations in the City Code for standard restaurants under the Conditional Use
Permit Section The standards for granting a site plan permit adequately address
all the concerns associated with restaurants i e noise odor compatibility with
surrounding area traffic screening etc
The Conditional Use Permit requirement for fast food restaurants was intended
when a drive thru was integrated into the use to regulate the loud speaker system
etc Staff is proposing developing drive thru window standards in the
supplemental regulations This would allow any type of restaurant to be a
permitted use in the BN district as well as to allow drive thru windows throughout
the City Should a restaurant request a drive thru the facility will be evaluated
through the Site Plan Permit process
In addition if an existing building is converted to a fast food restaurant or other
use requiring a drive thru the conversion will be processed administratively
subject to compliance with the standards
Central Business District
1 Restaurants in CBD
In the Central Business District all stand alone restaurants fast food and standard
restaurants require a Conditional Use Permit There not any standard regulations
in the City Code for standard restaurants under the Conditional Use Permit
Section The standards for granting a site plan permit adequately address the all
concerns associated with restaurants i e noise odor compatibility with
surrounding area traffic screening etc

throughout the City Should a restaurant request a drive thru the facility will be

In addition if an existing building is converted to a fast food restaurant or other
use requiring a drive thru the conversion will be processed administratively
subject to compliance with the standards
b Eliminate The implications of eliminating the General Business BG district
and rezoning these properties to Central Business District CBD
See attached BG CBD use matrix
c Create As stated in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Draft the City has
maintained a longstanding policy of directing commercial development into the
Central Business District Following are the new zoning districts the City zoning
ordinance will be amended to create the development standards for these districts
Community Commercial Big Box Retailers
Definition Vision A large scale commercial and office district with a need for
high visibility along arterial roads This type of development has a moderate
impact on the surrounding environment including but not limited to lighting
noise and traffic
Location criteria for Community Commercial uses are access to arterial streets
preferably at intersections with collector and arterial streets moderate to large
sized sites public water and sewer service environmental features such as soils
and topography suitable for compact development and adequate buffering by
physical features or adjacent uses to protect nearby residential development
The total building area for an individual use within any area designated
Community Commercial should be no more than 150 000 square feet
Goods and Services Examples
Furniture and Home Furnishings
Electronic and Appliance Stores
Building Material and Garden Supplies
Auto Parts and Accessories
Sporting Goods

Regional Commercial
Definition Vision A mixed commercial district with retail and entertainment
uses of a scale and function that serves a regional market The physical
environment emphasizes an attractive comfortable walking experience for
shoppers and visitors and is designed to serve trail users and mass transit as well
as automobile traffic Centers of this type have at least two major retail anchors
and are characterized by the diversity and mix ofretail and service uses within
their boundaries Uses within this district should complement existing retail users
in the other commercial districts
Development of these centers shall be planned as a group of organized uses and
structures to accommodate a sensitive transition between commercial activities
such as loading parking of automobiles lighting and trash collection and
surrounding residential uses Such centers shall be designed with one theme with
similar architectural style similar exterior building materials and a coordinated
landscaping theme
Vehicle and pedestrian access is coordinated and logically linked to provide a
comprehensive circulation system
The maximum building area of any single use within this district is 250 000
square feet

Paul Oehme presented the staff report on this it em and introduced Jon Horn with Kimley-Horn
and Associates, the consultants for the project, who gave a power point presentation on the
specifics of the 2008 Street Improvement Project. He specifically addressed the following issues
brought up by residents at the two neighborhood m eetings: the proposed share of assessments
for non-residential properties vers us residential properties; and c onsidering that the project area
is a collector roadway with a sc hool, fire station and post office located on it, is the 40% share
appropriate considering the fact that this roadway provides access to a number of different land
uses. Mayor Furlong opened the public hearing, inviting residents to speak by specific roads,
asking that residents address the question of whethe r or not the roads in th is area need to be
upgraded. Debbie Lloyd, 7302 Laredo Drive questione d the city’s classifi cation of Laredo Drive
not being a collector road, review ed the history of Laredo Drive, and because the entire city
benefits from the park, she believes the park should be properly assessed. Jerry Paulsen, 7305
Laredo Drive reiterated that vehicles are pe rmitted in Kerber Pond Park during park hours
according to the sign that’s posted, as well as addr essing the issues of tr affic and the assessment
on the school. Debbie Anderson, 7605 Laredo Driv e asked for clarification on the difference
between a collector road and a non-collector road in terms of assessments. Charles Littfin, 7609
Laredo Drive discussed the amount and times of traffic on Laredo Drive coming and going from
the elementary school, the amount of assessment in relation to benefit to his property value,
business assessments being less than residential, and disputing the fact that Laredo Drive is a
residential roadway. Dave Johns on, 711 Laredo Lane stated the probl em is not whether the road
2

is a collector or non-collector, but assessments be tween business owners and residents. He also
asked staff to address the issue of access from Laredo Lane onto Laredo Drive. Conrad Winkle,
505 Highland Drive asked if council members had r eceived the petition he submitted from the 8
property owners involved in this project and que stioned the need for incl uding Highland Drive in
the project, and why only 8 resi dents were being assessed. Ge orge Lucas, 410 Cimarron Circle,
also speaking on behalf of hi s neighbor Larry Anderson who lives at 401 Cimarron Circle,
questioned the different methodol ogy being used to determine assessments. Barb Murphy, 404
Cimarron Circle objected to the assessments because she felt she was subsidizing the
reconstruction of Laredo Lane. She brought up an article in the Star Tribune on January 27 th that
talked about a task force that examined the wa ys cities fund road cons truction which concluded
that most cities abolished the use of assessments a nd asked the city council to also consider that.
She also noted that due to the weakening econo my, she questioned whethe r this was the correct
time to do the project and assess residents.
Councilman Litsey moved, Councilwoman Ernst seconded to close the public hearing. All

LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE.
Mayor Furlong: Good evening Sergeant.
Sgt. Peter Anderley: Good evening Mayor, council. First of all I’d like to start, January 21 st we
did our switch over our personnel they have us he re in Chanhassen. We did have 2 additions, or
two changes I guess and faces around here. During the day Deputy Robert Rudd is now
working. Deputy Keith Walgrave we nt to the general patrol whic h covers two. He’s still around
Chanhassen, Victoria, Laketown Township but definitely Robert Rudd will be working during
the day in Chanhassen. And also at night, Deputy Chad Smith is taking over some of the night
duties on Sundays through Tuesday. So if you s ee the new face around, in troduce yourself and
I’ve advised them to do the same. I put in there the year end numbers. I’ll touch base on those a
little bit. They will change a little bit once we get our final stats, usually by 1 or 2, when those
come out. Overall our calls did go down. Tota l reported calls went down approximately 290 I
believe. A big part of that is th e traffic stops. Traffic stops for the city in general, an officer
initiated stop dropped about 600 over the year so th e actual calls from citizens, call in alarms,
driving complaints, those type s of things, actually went up 300. Approximately, calls for
service. Our big one is December, you know traffi c stops really went down a lot in the month of
December. If you look at that, that had a lot to do with road conditi ons. The weather you know
2
46
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
is a very contributing factor. Also the calls that we were taking, you know the alarms. Alarms
went up 158 calls on the year. Animal complain ts were up 44. Driving complaints up 42.
Medicals were up 73. Those are some of our bi g increases in calls. If there’s any other
questions, I’d be happy to answer those as far as th at. Otherwise it’s been a fairly quiet couple of
months. We haven’t had any major calls or issues to advise the council of at this time.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you Sergeant. Any que stions for the Sergeant? Okay. Very good.
Thank you. Chief Geske is here th is evening with the Fire Depart ment. Good evening Chief.
Chief Greg Geske: Good evening. Just wanted to update you basically on our numbers so far
this year, and then give the report basically for what last year was. So far this year we’ve had 44
calls compared to the same time we had last year was 32 calls. And all of 2007 we ended up
with 571 calls, compared to 521 in 2006 or an in crease of 9.5%. Breakdown of those, 31 or 5%
of all the calls were actual fires. 230 or 40% of the calls were rescue or medical response. 63 or
11% were hazardous conditions. CO calls would fa ll under that and then calls for gas leaks and
such. 92 or 16% were false alarm calls or fals e calls, and 11 or 2% we re weather related so
basically that’s a make up for last year so we were ahead a little bit and hopefully our fire
education and fire prevention will keep us in chec k this year but it’s st arting up a little bit. I
brought along Rick Rice t onight. I’d like to introduce Rick. He’s our new Assistant Chief.
Rick’s got 20 plus years on the department and I’ll let him go into some of that. Many of you are
familiar with him as your IS person here at the city but I’ll let Rick introduce himself.
Mayor Furlong: Good, thank you.
Rick Rice: Thank you Chief. I’m sure I’m not a stranger to anyone here.
Mayor Furlong: You were almost called up on an emergency tonight.
Rick Rice: Mayor Furlong and members of th e council. You all know about me as the IS
Coordinator for the city. I’ve been here for about 10 years doi ng that work. I served on the fire
department for about 24 years. I’m coming up in March for my 24 th year. I held the position of
a Captain. I served two terms as Lieutenant. I’ve done the Training O fficer’s position. I’ve
been the SAA Coordinator. I’ve been, I’m curren tly the Secretary on I belie ve the Association of
the Trustees, so it’s been fun working for the fire department and I’m going to enjoy this stint as
Chief. Looking forward to serving in that capacity. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Good, thank you. Congratulatio ns on your election and Chief Geske, on your
re-election. Congratulations as we ll. I noticed by your badges, I sa w in the paper we lost one of
the charter members of our department here recently so please extend our condolences to the
family.
Chief Greg Geske: Thank you. Any other questions?
Mayor Furlong: Other thoughts? Questions? Very good, thank you.

Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council me mbers. Annually the city considers street
improvement projects to improve the city’s street system. This year Laredo Drive area is
recommended for reconstruction. These street s were identified by the city’s pavement
management system as needing improvements. These streets can no longer be maintained cost
effectively with preventive maintenance such as sealcoats, or crack sealing or patching of
potholes. The past 5 years the city has receiv ed more complaints from residents and the
traveling public about the condition of Laredo Drive than an y other street in our community.
Utilities in this area are old and are recommended to be replaced or repaired. Utility problems
include many documented watermain breaks. Sanita ry sewer pipes that ha ve separated joints.
Sanitary sewer service pi pes that need replacing. Also the dr ainage system in this area is poor
and should be upgraded. Staff has held two neighborhood meetings and staff has also had
numerous individual meetings with property owners to discuss the project, and all facets of it.
Many emails and phone conversations have also ta ken place. Most of the issues have been
raised by the residents, have been identified in your background, or have been received in
correspondences directly with you. Staff has also met with Riley-Purgatory Watershed District
to see if they would like to in corporate and partner with the c ity on storm water improvements in
this area as well. Tonight staff is asking th e council to hold a public hearing and consider
ordering the project. This h earing is not to determine asse ssment amounts but rather to
determine if the project should be completed to fi nal design. Listening to the residents I believe
that the biggest concern with th e project is not the project itse lf, but the assessment methodology.
The assessments were based on the City’s prac tice of assessing 40% for street improvements
back to the benefiting property ow ners. Staff did try to tie the commercial properties associated
with that onto the Laredo Drive assessment cal culations…formula. The formula did make the
assessment calculations somewhat complicated a nd confusing to understand at times. Some of
the property owners that we’ve talked to ha d some…by benefit to the property, not by trip
generation. Staff also needed to take into consideration the othe r access points for the businesses
along Laredo Drive in the assessment calculations as well, so tonight we ’d like to discuss the
aspects and the importance of this project with the council tonight. We would like to ask for
your direction and see if you’re comfortable with the assessment methodology that’s been put
together in the feasibility study, and presented here tonight. We did distribute additional
4
48
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
residential correspondences that we received. I th ink the council received some of the same ones
for you’re here tonight as well, but if there’s a ny questions that the counc il feels that would like
to be addressed, I mean we’re more than happy to try to address them at this time. And also
included in your packet was the upd ated resolution for the project as well so, at this time I’d like
to invite Jon Horn with Kimley-Horn Associates . They are the consulting engineering working
with the city on this project. J on will give a brief presentation . Power point presentation on the
project. After the presentation, if there’s any qu estions that the council would like addressed at
this time, feel free to ask those a nd we would ask that after that, th at a public hearing be opened.
So at this time.
Jon Horn: Good evening Mayor, members of the City Council. As Paul mentioned, my name is
Jon Horn. I’m with Kimley-Horn and Associates . We have been working with city staff on
developing preliminary plans for the 2008 Street Reconstruction Project. We’ve got a brief
power point presentation we wanted to run through tonight. Ba sically address a couple of things.
Describe the project area to you to help familiarize yourself with th at. Talk a little bit about the
scope of the proposed improvements, and talk ab out the reconstruction pr ocess and phasing of
staging. Run through the estimated cost, the proposed financing pl an. Talk a little bit more
about assessments and then talk briefly about th e schedule. This map s hows the project area is
basically Laredo Drive, Laredo Lane, Longview Circle, Highland Drive and Cimmaron Circle.
About 1.35 miles of city streets is included as part of the project north of West 78 th Street. In
terms of what’s out there today, the current streets in the area are bitumi nous, however they don’t
have any concrete curb and gutter. Generally ranging in width from about 26 feet wide to 35 feet
wide. It’s proposed as a part of this project that they be reconstr ucted to the city standard section
with concrete curbs and gutters on both sides. We’re proposing various wi dths for the roadways
ranging anywhere from 28 feet wide to…the southerly piece next to the school would be 36 feet
wide. North of that going to 31 and then the cul-de-sac roadways in the ar ea are proposed to be
constructed to a 28 foot width… On e of the things that the City doe s as a part of all their street
reconstruction projects is to look at the condition of existing utilities in the area. As Paul
mentioned, sanitary sewer condition assessment’s been done. There’s some repair work that
would be done as a part of the project. Sanita ry sewer repair work that would be done. The
watermain in the project area is in poor conditi on and is proposed that the watermain be replaced
as a part of the project. Again the plan is to take care of all the undergro und utilities prior to the
street being reconstructed on top of them. Drainage improvements is one of the big challenges
of the project just because of the project sits right adjacent to Lotus Lake. Water quality issues
in Lotus Lake and one of the challenges is, what can we do in the project area to help improve
the quality of runoff being discha rged to the lake. As Paul me ntioned, we’ve been working with
the watershed district as well as Lotus Lake Wa ter Quality Association to try to develop some
means in providing some treatment in the area, looking everywhere from treatment ponds to rain
water gardens, treatment manholes, really explor ing a number of different alternative techniques
for the drainage. This map shows the general dr ainage areas in green an d purple or blue areas
drain into Lotus Lake. It shows a number of circles on the exhibit th at shows potential ponding
locations. Be looking at the possi bility of constructing regional treatment ponds at a number of
locations in the project area, so that’s an ongoing proce ss again working with the lake association
as well as the watershed district . Rain water gardens is some thing that’s becoming more and
more common around town. Basically the concept is , you identify areas. Y ou have special soil
runoff runs into the rain water gardens and it in filtrates into the ground. There’s plant materials
5
49
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
in the rain gardens that actually use up the wate r and use it for plant ma terials. This shows a
cross section as well as an example rain garden th at’s actually been constructed in the city of
Burnsville. Again, more common techniques trying to treat stormwater and that’s something that
as the project proceeds forward, we will look at opportunities to include some rain gardens into
the project scope. I mentioned treatment manholes. There’s al so technologies out there today
where there’s actually a structure where stormwater flows in. It’s treated. It flows out. Another
technique that we would look at as a part of this storm water system. Construction process, a
couple of constraints we need to deal with. Laredo Drive, the s outherly piece as a staging area
for the 4 th of July parade so we certainly need to consider where the c onstruction process or
stage, how to avoid that. At least until after th e parade’s over. You’ve got the school to deal
with to try to make sure that all the constr uction activity, or a major ity of the construction
activities happen during non-school ti mes. Then we just got the issue of trying to minimize
impacts to residents. The intention would be as the project proceeds forward, to have multiple
stages of construction to help address all those various issu es, and again a challenge that we
would have to deal with as the project proceeds forward with construction. In terms of estimated
costs. This table identifies the estimated cost for the project, a little over $2.9 million, including
the streets, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and watermain improvements. Financing summary.
About $1.6 million of that project cost is propos ed to be funded through the City’s revolving
assessment fund, of which about $700,000 is asse ssments to benefiting properties that are
included specifically in this pr oject area. The remainder of th e project cost would be funded
through various city utility funds. A little bit more on the specific assessments. As Paul
mentioned, this has probably b een the issue that’s raised th e most question of the property
owners in the area. Consistent with past city methodology, the inten tion would be to assess
approximately 40% of the project cost to the be nefiting property owners. Paul mentioned that
there is state statute that kind of identify how this would be done. One of the requirements is you
need to be able to prove benefit to the properties that are assessed. As a part of this process the
City has done an assessment, or appraisal review of the assessments to see if they would be
justified and whether the properties do benefit. As I mentioned, the total assessable cost is a
little over $700,000, with the City fu nding the remainder of the cost s. One of the challenges of
the project, there’s a mixture of la nd uses in the area. There’s a bout 80 residential properties and
6 non-residential properties. A methodology was used that addresses for the non-residential
properties, they have multiple street frontages an d multiple driveways and that was factored into
the assessment methodology. So that was kind of th e technique that was used to try to sort
through how much of the non-reside ntial properties should pay in assessments. And again these
are estimated assessments. The estimated assessmen t for the individual residential properties is a
little over $7,000 per unit. It’s proposed to be on a unit basis, but based upon what we’ve seen
for bid prices last year as well as what we continue to see for bid prices this year, we would
certainly expect good bid prices and it’s possible that those as sessment amounts could drop after
the actual bids are opened and the construction costs are determined through those construction
bids. Paul mentioned we went through, we’ve gone through a public involvement process.
There was a neighborhood meeting on November 14 th . A number of resident comments and
questions came out of that ne ighborhood meeting and staff has b een dealing with those over the
last few months, and then we met again with the residents last We dnesday night on the 23 rd . Ran
through a very similar presentation with the reside nts to give them a be tter understanding of the
project, as well as to take comments and questi ons. You can see by the number of people that
are sitting in the council chambers tonight, a lot of questions and concerns on the assessments.
6
50
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Really focusing on a couple of different issu es and I’m sure you’ll hear from a number of
residents tonight. One is the proposed share of assessments for the non-residential properties
versus the residential property is fair. The other concerns that due to the nature of the project
area being a collector roadway, with a school, a fire station and a post office, is that 40% city
share really appropriate consider ing the fact that this roadway provides access to a number of
different land uses, and again I’m sure you’ll hear a number of those comments from the
residents tonight as you take public testimony on the project, but there has been an ongoing
process. I know in the staff report background it suggests that council ta ke testimony tonight and
certainly staff would be willing to work together with the resident s to try to look at alternative
assessment methodologies if the council feels th at’s appropriate. In terms of schedule.
Tonight’s the public hearing. If the council elects to proceed ahead, we would propose that the
council approve the final plans and specs for the proj ect in late February. We’d proceed to a bid
opening in the end of March. Assessment hearing would then occur in April. We prepared a
final assessment roll, and that would go to council and we’d have the hearing on April 28 th . And
then assuming council still wants to proceed ahead with the project, construction start in May
and run through a majority of the summer to be co mpleted in September. There certainly would
be some phasing and staging as I mentioned to a ddress some of the specific constraints in the
project area. So that’s a real ly quick overview of the project . I guess we’ll open it up to any
council questions at this time.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for Mr. Ho rn. Just one thing to, just from clarification
so that we don’t get hung up on te rminology. I know words mean things, and that is the, how we
describe this road as a collector or a local road and a lot of people drive on different streets but
we have certain terminology in the report. Ther e was some information a bout the differentiating
between local roads and collector roads. Is this considered a collector road in terms of our
overall transportation system?
Paul Oehme: It’s not consider ed a collector road in our stre et system. They’re typically it
doesn’t generate enough traffic to be considered a collector ro adway. Typically you see volumes
of traffic well above 2,000 trips per day.
Mayor Furlong: I just wanted to clarify from a wording standpoint ther e. I’ve got some other
thoughts and comments. I’m guessing other members of the council too but I’d just as soon hear
from the residents, if that’s okay?
Councilman Litsey: Yeah, I’d just as soon move ahead.
Mayor Furlong: So at this point, why don’t we go ahead, unless there’s any other questions at
this point for staff. My thought is, and Mr. Horn if you could kind of stay close as people raise
issues, perhaps we can address them right there rather than trying to gather a big list for later.
What I’ll do is invite up resident s to come. If it makes sense, we can try to do this by road. I
think there are a number of people that want to talk and that way rather than bouncing around
through the project ar ea, if there’s specific i ssues regarding a particul ar street, those can be
addressed together. And what I would ask resident s to do, if possible, is we’ve got a number of
people that want to talk. We want to hear ever ybody but we don’t need to be here all night either
so we’ll try to limit comments to about 5 minut es, if that’s possible for anybody. A lot of the
7
51
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
issues have been brought forth to us, but we want to make sure that everybody has an
opportunity to speak as well. So if that makes sense, at least we’ll se t some ground rules that
we’ll try to live by and why don’t we start with any residents on Laredo Drive itself. We’ll open
up the public hearing here and if anyone on La redo Drive would like to address the council, I
would invite them forward at this time.
Debbie Lloyd: Debbie Lloyd, 7302 Laredo Drive. I di dn’t expect to be the first tonight. First
isn’t so bad I guess. Okay, is Laredo Drive a collector street? Based upon one 48 hour and one
51 hour traffic count, the City claims Laredo doe sn’t qualify. There are some findings. Laredo
Drive is a unique street within Chanhassen. It wasn’t originally built or designed to be a
collector but it has lived up to th e reputation of serving as one. Originally Laredo had a different
name, and it was just a short street. It came up to Highland from the cul-de-sac I live on, and
went down Highland down to Frontier. Ultimate ly Laredo stretched eventually up to West 78 th
Street and provided access straight up. Then la ter Frontier Trail opened to the west and provided
access to what is now Bryan’s neighborhood. So what was a short street with continuity, became
a very long street of continuity and it along with Frontier Trail connects the city from Kerber
Boulevard, which is a collector. Or arterial. I’m not sure. To, all the way up to West 78 th
broadly, or through the middle up to West 78 th . When they opened up Fr ontier Trail, the council
at that time felt it was very important to open it up for safety reasons, and maybe with the fire
marshal here he could address that point. But an yway, it wasn’t originally designed or built to be
a collector.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Excuse me, I don’t mean to interrupt you but do we have a map we
can put up so as she’s talking we can follow al ong. Thanks, that’s just helpful for me.
Debbie Lloyd: Oh sure. My map is a little bit different. It’s th e same map but this is Laredo.
Where it started, originally it went like this.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I don’t think it’s up.
Todd Gerhardt: It has to be on the X so it can zoom in.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Why don’t you try again. Thanks.
Debbie Lloyd: Originally it was just a short street up here to Highland and down. Then it
eventually came up here and other neighbors who lived here at the time could expound on that.
Went up here through a swamp, whic h leads to some of the issues that we have on Laredo Lane,
which by the way I have to insert at this poi nt. Laredo Lane, any time you hear double frontage,
this is a reason not to do double frontage. And you’ll see later in how many lots have frontage
on Laredo Lane plus Laredo Drive and what kind of cost that adds to the scenario for us. Then
eventually it opened all the way up to West 78 th . So Frontier Trail curves down here to Kerber.
Kerber, up like this provides access from the fire station to those neighborhoods and beyond.
Should something be closed on Kerber, this is how the fire trucks would go, is what we were told
at the time they opened up that ro adway. And also Frontier of c ourse goes this way. So Laredo
really is integral to the whole system here. The project area, you’ve identified 86 parcels of
property, but on my map here conservatively coun ting the homes that would naturally flow to
8
52
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Laredo Drive, and I say conservative because there are segments of the neighborhood I didn’t
include at all. Conservatively all the neighborhoods that feed onto Laredo to go to the school,
the park, the post office, to go up to the City Hall, to go down Market Street for shopping, there
are 259 homes. Now you say that isn’t a lot of traffi c. Well here is a collector street, Longacres
Drive. Longacres, between 17 and 41, 248 homes, and I was being really kind there too. I
counted almost every single home, even though that also has another out on Hunter. So this is
100% residential. Laredo had more homes conser vatively plus commercial, isn’t considered to
be a collector street. Laredo Drive serves as th e access to Chanhassen’s only U.S. Post Office,
which has over 1,000 active customers. Chanhassen ’s main fire station is on Laredo Drive.
Chanhassen’s elementary school is on Laredo Drive. Bluff Creek Elementary, the other
elementary in Chanhassen is also on a collector street. Chanhassen’s City Center Park and
Kerber Pond Park are on this street. It is not solely a residential…street. It also serves
commercial properties. Another issue. Kerber Pond Park. Staff report that you have dated
January 28 th says there is no vehicle access or parki ng associated with this frontage. We
maintain that the City should pay some fees associated with having that park there. In the, and
by the way, this is how much acreage the park has. Everything in yellow is Kerber Pond Park.
It’s comprised of 5 different parc els. There are two accesses to th e park. One is off Sierra Trail
and the other is off Laredo Drive. In the 2030 co mp plan, which you just l ooked at, it states that
there is on street parking, and this was part of the comp plan. The image. So it states an
entrance is off Laredo and there’s on street parkin g which is on Laredo Drive. Here’s a picture
of the access to the park. City of Chanhassen park hours, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. No person or
vehicle allowed in park after hours. Person or vehicle. Vehicles pr ohibited from off road travel.
Okay. Despite the fact that in the report, and in our public meeti ng we were told that vehicles
don’t go down that road. Well guess what? City ve hicles maintain that road. It’s critical for
emergencies should anything happen down there, th e two ways in are off Laredo Drive or off
Sierra Court. The entire city be nefits from the park and we believe that the park should properly
be assessed in this deal. The apartments on Sa nta Vera Drive. That’s another question.
Mayor Furlong: How much longer are you going to…
Debbie Lloyd: I’ll take my husband’s time okay? Is that okay with you Dick?
Dick Lloyd: Sure.
Debbie Lloyd: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. We’re coming up on almost 10 minutes already.
Debbie Lloyd: Maybe there’ll be someone else that I can…too. This is an overview of the
apartments. The apartment’s assessment was one-half of the total acreag e of the parcel. The
reason there’s a wetland on the property. The findi ng is that the wetland has not been delineated.
We believe it was an arbitrary decision. Here’s photos of the trees and the wetland, and I have to
ask, does the city have another purpose in mind for this land? And is it fa ir for the taxpayers on
Laredo Drive reconstruction to pay for whatever that other purpose is, but you’re not assessing
this parcel’s property to the full va lue. I’ll end with that, thank you.

City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Mayor Furlong: Alright, tha nk you. One question I would ask Ms. Lloyd before you leave, and
I forgot to set this at the beginning so that’s why I’m calling you back. One of the questions
before the council tonight with regard to author izing plans and specificati ons is whether or not,
the real part of the pub lic hearing here, but we’ve slid over in to the assessments, whether or not
the road needs to be upgraded. Whether there is a need to upgrade the road, so I guess I would
ask you and I would ask others that come up too, to make sure you at least address that with all
your comments so, do you believe the project should be done?
Debbie Lloyd: Yes, and I did send an email toda y. I obviously the road has a lot bumps in it,
but I’d like to know what year it really came up on the study on this street improvement plan to
be reconstructed? How many years it’s been de layed. How many years it’s been put off, and I
also heard that there’s a lot of complaints a bout it. I’d sure like to know you know where the
complaints are coming from. Are they coming from the neighborhood? Are they coming from
outside the neighborhood, which I can tell you they are because I sat in here when other, there
have been other reconstruction projects in the ci ty and people always point to Laredo Drive. So
that also tells me they use it. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, so the answer is yes, it needs to be upgraded?
Debbie Lloyd: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: Let’s address some of her questions if we can.
Paul Oehme: Sure. Real quic k, Ms. Lloyd is right that you know the southern half of Laredo
Drive does take quite a significant traffic. I mean it’s the first block from 78 th Street to Chan
View and then basically north of there onto th e school so, but again it ’s not considered, we
haven’t defined it as a collector roadway just based upon the crit eria that we have based upon
engineering documentation and criteria used fo r categorizing collector roadways. And again
north of Saratoga, if you’re south of Saratoga and Laredo Drive is 1,200 to 1,800 trips per day.
North of Saratoga we’re down to 300 trips per day, which tells me that the neighborhood, this
area is functioning as a nei ghborhood roadway system and not functioning as a collector
roadway. Just as a clarification too on the Ke rber Park Pond, Todd Hoffman our Park Director
can chime in if he wants to but there are definite ly, at least 3 access points to Kerber Boulevard.
We did not include this parcel in our assessment, preliminary assessment roll based upon it’s,
can you consider it an outlot? There is no vehicle access. No driveway access to the park at this
time, and we did not consider that a benefit si nce everything is coming off of Laredo Lane and
other access points. No parking in the park as well so, this acce ss point can be more considered
a local access point and parcel, or the access poi nt on Kerber Boulevard, I think there’s more
public benefit access points out on Kerber. The apartment question that she had, we did decrease
the size of the apartment complex lot based upon our judgment. That being a wetland or water
resources coordinator did recommen d that be looked at in the fu ture and preserved as a wetland.
Potentially upgraded. Also the apartment comple x does access off of Saratoga and other streets,
so we did have to consider that in the a ssessment calculation as well for benefit so.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.

City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Councilwoman Tjornhom: You know I’m sorry. I had one question.
Mayor Furlong: Please.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I am sorry. Can you re view or explain to me what our policies are
when we are assessing parks in the city? Do we have one set design that we use? For parks.
Paul Oehme: I’m trying to recall.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I’m sorry.
Paul Oehme: I’m trying to recall.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: We’ve had this happen before.
Paul Oehme: Yeah. South Shore Drive. Last y ear’s project. We did look at access to that park
and specifically the boat landing an d the parking lot associated w ith that park and we did do a
benefit analysis on that parki ng lot and access to the park and we did incorporate additionally
units, assessment into the park, which the City did pay for based upon the percentage that we
had. So we did increase, and it wasn’t just one si ngle family lot. It was, I can’t recall right off
the top of my head but there were several units th at we used in that scenario that the City did
contribute to that project.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: But we’re using that sa me formula in analyzing Kerber Park also.
Paul Oehme: Right. I mean using that same crite ria. I mean there’s no, th e trail does have to get
maintained so there is maintenance vehicles th at have to get down th ere. Obviously you know
we need to get emergency access vehicles down there if there is an emergency so, but on a daily
basis on a public benefit basis, we did not see that being a benefit right now for this project.
Councilwoman Ernst: A question.
Mayor Furlong: Sure, Councilwoman Ernst. Follow-up.
Councilwoman Ernst: Paul, did you say that there are 3, approximately 300 trips a day going
down that road? And that’s why, is th at, did I hear you correctly on that?
Paul Oehme: Yeah, I mean north of Saratoga. The trips do significantly drop off, or north of
Saratoga the trips do significantl y drop off versus south of Saratoga. South of the apartment
complex. That’s where the commercial and the non -residential units are. You know a lot of the
trips can be generated, or are generated by the ap artment complex or the, the apartment complex,
the school district and the post office. Those are the ones that generate the most traffic.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay, thank you.
11
55
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Councilman Litsey: Just a quick follow-up on that. Do you ever do dual classifications on
roads? In other words, if a portion of it’s taki ng a heavier load, or do you look at the totality of
the road and average it out? That sounds like what, that’s what we’ve done here.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, typically you want to look at for collector roadways, you want to look at
where does the collector roadway go. Typically you want to have collector roadways start from
a collector roadway and end at a collector roadwa y. The connection points so that’s the way our
system’s set up. Here, in this case it really doesn’t go to another collector roadway and based
upon the volumes of traffic, you know that’s the reason why we haven’t ha d a dual designation.
Councilman Litsey: But because they kind of go up and back presumably on the same segment
of roadway there, perhaps would that not be a justification for sepa rating that out or?
Paul Oehme: Yeah, I.
Councilman Litsey: One part being you know a main.
Paul Oehme: I mean we can look at that again but I, again it gets back to how much is the
traffic, how much is it generating and based upon our criteria, it doesn’t generate enough traffic
to push it into that category.
Councilman Litsey: As a whole?
Paul Oehme: As a whole.
Mayor Furlong: Even, as I understand it, even the southern part of th at road from West 78 th up
past the school to the apartments.
Councilman Litsey: Does not generate enough?
Mayor Furlong: Doesn’t generate enough to get th e, it’s more than th e northern section.
Councilman Litsey: But not enough to meet the crit eria we’ve established for collector road?
Paul Oehme: Right. I mean, righ t. That’s where our standard.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Thank you. Next Mr. Paulsen, good evening.
Jerry Paulsen: Mr. Mayor and councilors. Jerry Paulsen, 7305 Laredo Drive and due to
emphasize the bottom of Kerber Pond Park and not permitting vehicles and the sign says
vehicles are not permitted after pa rk hours close and I can, it’s perfect ly legal for me to drive my
car from the Laredo side up and exit onto Sierra Trail. There’s no, there’s nothing illegal about
that from my understanding. Any car can drive over that route, according to the sign that’s
posted there. I’d like to addre ss two issues. Traffic a little bi t more, and then the assessment on
the school. The City, you conducted two traffic counts, as Paul sa id. One was at the southern
end, one was at the northern end of Laredo. I to ok it upon myself to do a little bit of counting.
12
56
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
The City came up with an averag e of 1,450 vehicles on what they considered the heavily portion,
out at the south end, per day. 1,450 per day. I did three manual traffic counts during November
and January and last week I gave the City a copy and you might have gotten those graphs. The
three graphs showing the three different points of study, and if you didn’t, I’ll get you a copy.
The City has a count on Laredo just south of what they call Chan View so that, I think it was the
same week that I took mine anyway. I count ed over 300 vehicles per hour for a couple hours
there in the afternoon, and I estimated traffic to be about, a little over 3,000 vehicles per day. I
didn’t stick it out for 24 hours. It got a little cold sitting in the car at times so I didn’t take a
complete sample, although I tried to stretch it ov er several hours at thre e different points. One
reason that my count was a little bit different from the City’s is they had their’s opposite the Post
Office, south of Chan View so the traffic comi ng from Chan View, turning north or coming from
the City Hall, Post Office from there and turni ng north would not have been counted by their
counters. So that accounts for a fairly good chu nk of traffic which they would not have picked
up from their counting. The City also set up a co unter at the north entran ce to the school, and I
haven’t received any results from that back fr om the City to indicate what they might have
counted, but there are in fact two entrances to the school ther e so they may have only have
picked up half the traffic that wa s realistically. So the staff repor t that you’re reading says that
local, excuse me, local traffic, or the local streets carry something in the neighborhood of 2,000
vehicles per day. If you bump it up to 3,000, which my statistics show at least at the south end
here, where you are in the category of a collector street and the collect or street is the city is kind
of admitting they’re doing this because they’re bu ilding it 36 feet wide, which is the width for a
collector street, from West Main, from West 78 th up to Saratoga. So we ’re, at least that chunk up
there, that portion could justify being called a collector street. The other issue then I’d like to
address on the assessment on the school itself. Th e 15 acre parcel is owned by the school. It is
titled to the school. The City has calculated the school assessment on the basis of the school
having about 5.2 acres of that 15, not the 15, so they’re not assessing on the basis of the full 15
acre. The City says they have a verbal agreement with the school to utilize that land jointly with
the school. There is no formal agreement so it’s, the school does own th at land and the 15 acres
is under their title. The comprehe nsive plan, the City shows the City Center Park to occupy a
portion of that lot. As a matter of fact it shows the whole area, including the school in green if
you look at the city map. But one thing that kind of …after a while, it said the fire station had 4.6
acres and it didn’t seem to jive with the size of th e bank or the other ones, and that 4.6 acres in
fact goes from the fire station a ll the way back to what they call the warming area back in here.
But the comprehensive plan also, it’s kind of ambi guous and it says that the 3 of the 15 acres of
school property is part of City Center Park, and I don’t quite unde rstand what’s going on there.
Anyway, these three additional acr es supposedly being part of 3 out of the 15 being in City
Center Park, they are still owned by the school and therefore the school should be assessed the
full 15 acres that are not being assessed them. So my question is why th e City not intending to
assess those 15 acres in th eir entirety. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: And Mr. Paulsen again, the question I as ked Mrs. Lloyd in terms of the need for
the project and the upgrade. What are your thoug hts there. Whether or not it’s needed.
Jerry Paulsen: Pardon me, how’s that?
13
57
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Mayor Furlong: Is the project, do the improvement s need to be made? To Laredo Drive and to
the other roads.
Jerry Paulsen: Considering they haven’t, the wa y that they’ve patched th e street, they haven’t
tried to make it long term and so it has degraded, and especially around the curve I think is the
worst part, which is admitted…by the swampy area. It probably didn’t have a good enough base
and Laredo is probably worthy of reconditioning. I’m not sure about the cul-de-sac.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any follow-up questions for Mr. Paulsen from anyone?
Otherwise Mr. Oehme and Todd, there’s probably a question coming to you too but why don’t
you start.
Paul Oehme: Well I’ll hit on maybe what Todd wa s getting at, but you know our trail system’s
not designed to take commuter traffic. I mean nobody should be driving th eir private vehicles on
our trails. Even motorized vehicl es, mopeds or those type of vehi cles are not allowed on our trail
system so you know if the trail, or if the sign is wrong, I mean we should address that issue in
terms of vehicle traffic on our trail systems in Kerber Pond Park so.
Mayor Furlong: Our ordinances don’t just restrict it during park hours?
Paul Oehme: No. It restricts it all the time.
Mayor Furlong: Alright.
Paul Oehme: Real quickly too. In terms of the street width a nd the collector roadway issue, I
mean the City is picking up the over sizing cost already for the roadway width from a 31 foot up
to a 36 foot road right-of-way, or roadway widt h so in terms of the cost there, that’s you know
the City’s already doing that in c onjunction with the commercial prope rties. It’s not, that cost is
not being distributed to the resi dential properties along the street. The fire station, I think when
the property was purchased I think it was 4, a little over 4 acres wort h of property there. It has
been split off into park and to the school district. So I’ll leave it at that but in terms of the school
district assessment, we did decrease the total amount of acreage for th e school district based
upon you know half of their property is ballfields a nd other associated outdoor activities that take
place there. It’s really, there is access off of Kerber Boulevard fo r those type of uses. As you all
know Mayor that in the summertime the City Ha ll parking lot is packed with residents and
parents going to ball games and soccer games s o, that’s kind of the methodology behind how that
was, that assessment was determined for the school district.
Councilman Litsey: It seems to me just from personal observations, the majority of the people
using that park for the soccer and so forth are parking on Kerber, or on the City Hall parking lot
because I see them…
Paul Oehme: That was our rationale behind decreasing the amount of total acreage in our
assessment just because.
Councilman Litsey: It’s hard to get through there sometimes.
14
58
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Paul Oehme: Yeah, I mean and people are going to want to walk the closest they can. They
don’t want to walk as far from, Laredo Drive, from the parking lot over to the ballfields. I mean
they’d rather walk closer from Kerber Boul evard access points and City Hall parking lots.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, council members. You know when the fields are being used, the
majority of the people, no question use City Ha ll and Kerber but there are people that do park
over in the school parking lots. It depends on what location you’re coming from but it is utilized.
Primarily June, July, August timeframes when youth activities are going on so you know, and
that’s why the school district did get an assessment for Laredo.
Councilwoman Ernst: Paul, is th e City paying for the difference between the 31 and the 36 foot
wide road?
Paul Oehme: Yes. Yeah, they are. I mean that’s not in the assessment calculations for the
residential piece.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay. And then can you address Mr. Paulsen’s comments about the
differences with the counts. I mean he was talking 3,000 versus 300 or.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, I’m not sure exactly when he was out there, what that criteria was but I
mean we’ve got our standard 48 hour counts th at we use based upon what MnDot recommends
so, and those are the counts that we took. Maybe on another day it would be slightly different
than the counts that we had but.
Councilman Litsey: Would the count down toward s more of the southerly part, was that done,
this can sound confusing now, north of Chan View?
Paul Oehme: I believe it was south of Chan View.
Councilman Litsey: It was south of Chan View, so would it have picked up, because there was a
comment made that wouldn’t have picked up like post office traffic and that kind of stuff.
Paul Oehme: Well to get in the post office you need to go onto Chan View so, so you would
have to go through that block of roadway to get to the post office. And you have to go access
onto Chan View so it would have picked up the counts from the post office.
Councilman Litsey: Okay, thanks.
Mayor Furlong: Alright. Thank you. Any othe r follow-up questions at this time? Okay.
Anyone else from Laredo Drive at this time?
Debbie Anderson: Hi Mayor and council members. My name’s Debbie Anderson. I live at
7605 Laredo Drive and I just actually have a quick question because I haven’t been able to attend
any of the prior meetings and so I apologize if I’m the only pers on in this room that doesn’t
15
59
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
know the answer but, what exactly is the differen ce between a collector ro ad and a non-collector
road in terms of assessments? And that’s just my question so.
Paul Oehme: Sure.
Debbie Anderson: And I think we definitely need some.
Paul Oehme: Thank you. You know we’ve dealt with this on other pr ojects as the council
knows. Lake Lucy Road’s a good example of that . We milled and overlayed that road a couple
years ago. That roadway is a collector roadwa y. It was over designed to handle the additional
traffic, especially on that roadway.
Audience: A little louder.
Audience: Yeah, we can’t hear you.
Paul Oehme: Okay.
Audience: We can’t hear you back here.
Paul Oehme: I don’t know if my mic’s on or not?
Mayor Furlong: Nann, are the mic’s working? That’s fine. Just, let’s everybody speak up then.
Paul Oehme: Okay. Lake Lucy Road was, is a collector roadway. The City did overlay that
roadway. Include that roadway several years a go. There is residential benefit for those
improvements but what the City did, we took out the over sizing costs and looked at the over
sizing from a collector roadway system down to a residential roadway. Kind of the same
methodology we’re doing here. The pavement sec tion that we’re proposing is the exact same
where this section of street is, is for the residential section of street. The only difference is the
roadway width. The roadway width cost right now is being proposed to be paid for at 5 foot wide
over sizing be paid for by the Cit y. It’s not being assessed back to the property owners, so we’re
trying to treat everybody that lives on a higher volume road ve rsus a lower volume road the
same. That’s the practice that the City has been working with. Successfully for the last couple
years.
Mayor Furlong: So to clarify, just from my understanding, if the proj ect included a 31 foot
width road all the way from West 78 th up north, the cost of that is being included in the
calculation for the assessments. The fact that we’re building the road wider at one segment is
being paid for entirely through the city by taxpayers.
Paul Oehme: That’s correct.
Mayor Furlong: My underst anding? Okay. Thank you.
16
60
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Councilwoman Tjornhom: But I mean just to jump in here quickly. Let’s assume that this
already was a collector road. It already was the width of a collector road. Would the properties
be assessed different because of that?
Paul Oehme: No. They’d be assessed.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Because it was a collector road.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, they would be assessed.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Is that what you’re asking?
Debbie Anderson: Yes, thank you.
Paul Oehme: What they’re bei ng assessed today. There’s again.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: So there’s no different standards or rates for collector roads…
Paul Oehme: …we try to standardize roadway a ssessments from a person that lives on a cul-de-
sac versus somebody that lives on a 10,000 ATD street. Standardize it in term s of benefit and in
terms of how much that cost is for that section of roadway based on the re sidential street section
that we have today.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: So then if I live on Laredo Drive, it really is no be nefit to call part of
that, beginning of Laredo a collector road because it’s not going to change any numbers?
Paul Oehme: It’s not going to change the asse ssment that we have in the, as a preliminary
assessment.
Councilman Litsey: So quite simply put, it’s a standard methodology used for all streets in the
city and the designation really is not going to impact the amount of money that someone is going
to pay getting that changed.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, the de signation is irrelevant.
Councilman Litsey: Okay.
Paul Oehme: We’re trying to get back down to what the benefit is for a resident on whatever
street we have in the community.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor and council members, we call that a reside ntial equivalent. You know if
you were to build a brand new street, if you were to build a brand new street in a subdivision,
there would be costs associated w ith that street for that single family home. And that is what
we’re doing here is looking at it as a residential equivalent for the cost of doing that. Paul’s
already stated time and time again that over sizing the road is being picked up by the City. It is
17
61
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
not included in that $705,000 so I don’t think we need to talk about co llector roads anymore
when it comes to this project.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any follow-up questions? I think, does that an swer your question?
Debbie Anderson: You know I still just don’t understand if we’re ta lking the difference
between, I mean I understand that part of Laredo Dr ive is used more than the rest of it, although
…the only way to go but that, my qu estion really I think is different . If you have a collector road
that is definitely a collector ro ad and the entire road would be called a collector road by your
criteria, which I don’t know what that is, but would that be assessed differently than Laredo
Drive than this project?
Todd Gerhardt: No.
Debbie Anderson: Based on percentages and.
Mayor Furlong: Yeah, and the si mple answer I hear is no.
Debbie Anderson: Okay, thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Others from Laredo Drive. Good evening.
Charles Littfin: Good evening. Thank you for letti ng me speak. My name is Charles Littfin. I
live on 7609 Laredo Drive. Right across from th e elementary school. I’ve lived in Chanhassen
since 1960. I grew up one block over east of wher e I live now. Those two roads are night and
day. Laredo Drive is so busy, tr affic starts from 6:00 in the mo rning. The first delivery truck
goes to the elementary school, which is an 18 whee ler, and this thing runs even when there’s
road restrictions. Other traffic rolls in about 6:30. That’s when parents who work drop off their
kids. And if these parents are late for wor k, you don’t date go out on that road because they
drive fast. And that goes til 6:00 when that shuts down and they have to pick their kids up.
After that, sports goes on up at th e school. That goes til 9:00 every night. Saturday, sports is up
at the school from 8:00 in the morning til 8:00 at night. These are all city programs. Parking on
Laredo Drive can be a real prob lem too when there’s a function at the school. Or any day.
There’s cars parked on Laredo Drive all the time. They park in front of my mailbox. I don’t get
delivery service. White Bear Lake, where my wi fe grew up, has an ordinance if there’s a school
in a residential area, no school parking on that ro ad. That’s strictly re sidential parking only.
From what I heard tonight from the sheriff, or not the sheriff’s, but the police officer, and fire
department, they’re getting a lot more calls. That just means the fire department’s going to be a
lot busier. Saturday’s paper had an article abou t growth in Chanhassen. It hasn’t slowed down.
That means this road is going to get busier and busi er all the time. Let’s see where I’m at here.
If anybody saw the Star and Tri bune on Sunday, there was an arti cle in there about assessing
roadways. Apparently we’re not the only one that has the problem . There was a special session
that they said, or there’s a sp ecial assignment by law supposed to be provide a financial benefit
to the homeowner that is roughly to equal the cost they pay for the project. This project’s going
to cost me between $7,000 and $8,000. I am not going to benefit at all like that from this project.
As a matter of fact I’ll probably lose ground because it will be wi dened where I live. That will
18
62
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
take ground cover away from my property. And if I ever plan on doing anything in this town,
ground cover is huge. They talk about businesses pa ying less. I don’t think that’s right either.
Businesses that are on Laredo Drive, they make money. I don’t make any money on this road,
and there’s a lot more businesses than just the 4, or whatever the City says. Axel’s for instance.
All their delivery trucks end up on Laredo Drive, and they’re not even being assessed anything.
That alley way that runs behind th e little mall, all the delivery tr ucks go down there and they end
up on Laredo. If this is a reside ntial road, which I don’t think it is, when that gas tanker pulls in
to fill up at the gas station, that blocks off traffic til he can back that thing in there. Not to
mention all the trucks that go to the post office, 2 to 3 times a day to pick up their deliveries.
Armor cars at the bank. They’re a ll on Laredo. And as far as not being a collector road, Chapel
Hill, when they pick their kids up, they come across to Laredo to bypass that intersection right in
front of their school. So it is a collector road. Even the Pres ident shut it down. Laredo Drive
was blocked off when he was in town. Thank you for letting me speak.
Mayor Furlong: Alright. And Mr. Littfin, appreciate that. Do the improvements need to be
made?
Charles Littfin: Yes. You probably don’t see it right in front of the school because the City
comes through every year before the parade and they patch everything. You go north of Santa
Vera, it’s bad because the City doesn’t do anything up there. Come spring time, drive along and
you’ll see where the curb and gutter used to be. Over the years of the buses going to the school,
if there’s one that gets their early, they’ll pu ll over on Laredo and wait fo r the bus in front of
them. Over the years of them doing this, they’ve probably pushed back the road 1 foot. There is
no curb and gutter there now. There was. It wa s just grass to the tar. Right now there’s
probably that much mud along Laredo Drive where th e tar starts and it goes to grass. You can
see that in the spring. One other thing. Traffi c on Laredo. Few years back they sealcoated the
frontage road in front of Lake Ann. That summ er there were hundreds of dump trucks hauling
gravel to and from the north parking lot at the Chanhassen Elementary School. That’s where
they stockpiled it. They brought it all the way in to town. Stockpiled it an d then they took it all
the way back out to do the frontage road that goes all the way to 41. All that gravel was in that
parking lot. All summer long. H undreds of dump trucks. All day long. It was terrible. So it’s
not a residential road by no means.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you.
Charles Littfin: Because everybody uses it. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Question on a, please. Thank you. Question on the width of the road, because
Mr. Littfin brought that up.
Paul Oehme: Real quickly. Laredo Drive.
Audience: Could you pl ease talk louder?
Paul Oehme: Sure. Laredo Drive in front of th e school, north of Chan View, it’s approximately
what, 35, 36 feet wide. We’re not pr oposing to widen the roadway in th is area. It does meander.
19
63
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
The edge of the mat doesn’t meander so trying to straighten it out. Put the curb and gutter in
there. What we’re proposing, if we need to widen it, or move it, we’re going to shift it as far to
the west as we can on the school pr operty and the commercial propert ies as feasible. So in terms
of ground cover, we’re not going to be, you know th e gentleman’s front yard, we’re not going to
be taking any more of his sod away from him so, there’s going to be obviously construction
equipment and disruption during the process bu t in terms of losing ground cover from his
property, you know that’s something that we’re mindful of and we’re going to minimize as much
as we can. And again we talked about the traffic issues already. Is there anything else there?
Mayor Furlong: No. I think that’s what I had. Any quick follow-up’s? Otherwise we’ll keep
moving here.
Councilman Litsey: Just that I hope it, I mean it’s apparently not re al clear yet that the
methodology’s the same with whatever designation that road has. I think in the last comment the
traffic and so forth on there isn’t factored in there because you’re being assessed the same
whether it’s designated as a reside ntial street or a collector street . It’s the same cost to you. I
don’t know how else to better get th at point across but we keep lo sing I think item in all these
talks.
Todd Gerhardt: Paul, there’s one other comment re garding no parking. The school zone. I think
we have that designated no parki ng during the time of loading and unloading. Is there a practice
we typically use on that?
Paul Oehme: On Laredo, I don’t know if it’s signed for that right now. I know that’s on street
parking during special events for the school, but we do try to minimize those type of conflicts in
other areas of the city.
Todd Gerhardt: If it’s an issue with the nei ghborhood, maybe that’s something we can take a
look at as a part of the projec t to put no parking. We’d like so me feedback from some of the
affected property owners maybe in that area, if th at’s something they want to see or not see, we
can look at that.
Councilwoman Ernst: Paul, it keeps coming up and I keep hearing it. That Councilman Litsey’s
point, when he was talking about the business owne rs versus the residents. Are you going to be
addressing that later on after all the residents have had a chance to speak because obviously it’s a
very important issue and I would like to hear how that benefit is going to play out.
Audience: Could you speak up?
Councilwoman Ernst: I just asked Paul if he wa s going to be speaking to the distribution of the
assessment because that keeps coming up and Counc ilman Litsey had mentioned it as well. How
is the assessment going to play out as far as th e benefit, and I think Pa ul’s going to be talking
about that but I’m not quite sure.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, I mean Jon Horn or I can address that. I think in your background we’ve
kind of identified how the methodology was a rrived at and kind of showing what that
20
64
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
assessment, the preliminary assessment amount is ri ght now. So I mean if you want us to talk a
little bit more about that, we’ll be more than wil ling to talk about the, how that was calculated
but in terms of, we’re just looking for feedb ack even though, is the assessment methodology
appropriate? Do we need to make some ch anges? You know those type of things so.
Councilwoman Ernst: Well you know I guess I’m wondering, does it make sense to break the
cost down so that the benefit plays out equally for the residents. You know so that the benefit is
equal, and I guess that was, you know how does th at play out against what the businesses are
paying?
Paul Oehme: Yeah, again we’re, we looked at benefits for the reside ntial versus the non-
residential and there’s a drawi ng showing what, you know if we w ould incorporate it. If we
eliminate all the non-residential pieces here, parcel s, and replace them with single family, typical
street frontage widths, parcels, that are consistent with other properties in the area, we would
anticipate adding about 19 additiona l lots to that street. I mean that’s how much we think we
could fit in there. Based upon those analysis, you know again we looked at several different
methodologies and this was, under this scenario it would actually cost the residents more if the
commercial properties were removed from the pr oject area and replaced with single family
residential so. In terms of, I don’t know if th at really answers your que stion or not but you know
we did look at several additional methodologies and this is the one that we kind of, we’re using
at the present time so.
Councilwoman Ernst: And it’s one th at we’ve used in the past.
Paul Oehme: And again, the 40% assessment, back to the benefiting property owners, that’s
been consistent. And we had a look at benefits for both the non-residential and the residential
pieces and this is I think is assessment pr actices…that we can get for this project.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Let’s con tinue on with the public hearing now. Let’s
continue with any residents along Laredo Drive. Anyone else from Laredo Drive. Good evening
sir.
Dave Johnson: Good evening. Thank you Mr. Ma yor, council members. My name is Dave
Johnson. I live at 711 Laredo Lane and to answer your question, as I did in an email yesterday
Mr. Mayor, we do think, or at l east I do and my wife does, think the improvements need to be
made.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.
Dave Johnson: And to go ahead and set aside the question of collector or not a collect or, I think
you’ve got a street here with di fferent characteristics and it’s di fficult to go ahead and fit into
your existing categories. Maybe you have to fi nd another one. I don’t know, but whatever
you’ve got now isn’t working real well. The proble m is not collector or n on-collector. It’s again
the assessment between business ow ners and the residents, and th at’s the issue really to get
anywhere. The other issue that’s related, as I mentioned before, there’s a problem with exiting
21
65
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
off of Laredo Lane onto Laredo Drive. I didn’t see anything in the plan that shows how we’re
going to go ahead and address that.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you and that’s specifi c to the project itse lf. Mr. Oehme, do you
understand that question?
Paul Oehme: Sure. We’re familiar with the i ssue here is the access point from Laredo Lane to
Laredo Drive. The access point is a key inters ection right now. There’s poor sight lines,
especially on the south that we’re trying to addre ss. I’ve talked with our consultant about this.
We’re trying to straighten out Laredo Lane, Laredo Drive in this area as much as we can and still
stay within our right-of-way. A nd then also look at keying up La redo Lane here as much as we
can so we can give it better sight distance from Laredo Lane to Laredo Drive. There’s
additionally several pine trees in, I think they’re in the city right-of-way that we need to look at
and see if that would actually help the situati on if those were removed and replaced with some
other vegetation.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Alright. So you’ll be sure to take a lo ok at that as we move forward.
Paul Oehme: Yep. We’ve heard that…
Mayor Furlong: Look for opportunities to improve it.
Paul Oehme: …that was one of the things we wanted to address…
Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Anyone else for Laredo Drive at this point? Might as
well continue on Laredo Lane. Anybody else on Laredo Lane? How about, go to Longview
Circle. Anyone on Longview Circ le? Highland Drive. Any resi dent from Highland Drive wants
to comment? Sir, please. Come on forward.
Conrad Winkle: I’m Conrad Wi nkle, 505 Highland Drive. We’v e put together, went around and
got a petition, there’s 8 people that live on Highland Drive, he said it’s included in this project.
First the real question I have is , if they’re going to put Highland Drive in, if they should put the
whole works in because all we did was pick up, I think all he did was pick up 8 people so he
could pay the bill is really want it amounts to because there’s nothing wro ng with where it’s at
right now. We put a petition toge ther and I brought the thing in and I think, thank you. I just
wanted to make sure that you had it so you’d know.
Mayor Furlong: We do and I thi nk that’s a question that we can address here this evening. Two
questions. One, should the segment of Highland Dr ive that’s included in the project, why should
it be included and why not the rest of Highland Drive down towards Frontier?
Paul Oehme: Highland Drive, th e cul-de-sac, the portion west of Laredo Drive is proposed to be
included in the project. The stre et does rate low on the pavement condition index that we have.
It’s at about a 56. The area to th e east of there does rate a litt le bit higher than Laredo Drive,
based upon the 2004 information that we have. We did find when we went through and televised
the sewer system, we did find that there was a serv ice line that needs to be replaced and some
22
66
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
other cracking of a clay pipe that’s out there that we would like to addres s with this project as
well. In terms of.
Mayor Furlong: Can you hear sir?
Audience: No.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Louder.
Audience: You know we’re old peopl e. You have to talk louder…
Paul Oehme: Alright, well again. Highl and Drive was included. I mean it’s.
Audience: Why, why didn’t the, wh y isn’t the lower road included? That road is older than our
cul-de-sac.
Paul Oehme: It is.
Audience: Yes.
Paul Oehme: I think it was ’67 it was put in.
Audience: You want us to he lp pay for the project.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Paul Oehme: Highland Drive on the cul-de-sac I think was built in ’69. Again it did rate lower
on our pavement condition index. Highland Drive, the cul-de-sac to the west. We did not find
any service issues or utility issues that we woul d like to address right now on the stretch from, of
Highland Drive east of Laredo Drive so. It has to do with both the utilities. It has to do with the
pavement condition. It does not in any way, shape or form have to do with paying for the
project. I mean the City does pay 60% of the street improvement project. We are sticking a lot
of money into a cul-de-sac. If we didn’t feel justification for you know, not putting a street in,
we wouldn’t put it in based upon you know the cost to taxpayers so.
Mayor Furlong: Well the cost is 60% on the st reet improvements but 100% on any of the utility
work underneath.
Paul Oehme: That’s correct. We do have cas t iron, the watermain that’s out here is very
susceptible to breaking, especially in this climate so we have not identified any watermain breaks
on Highland Drive fortunately, but we do feel that as long as we’re out here, take care of as
much of the issues as we can to decrease th e amount of disruption to the neighborhood at one
time so.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Anyone else from Highland Drive? Cimarron Circle?
23
67
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
George Lucas: Could you turn that on so the map is on again? I’m going to need that in a
minute. Thank you very much. My name is George Lucas. I happen to live at 410 Cimarron
Circle. I wasn’t really planning to make a formal presentation tonight. I just have a couple of
comments. I’ve been involved in some discussi ons with some of my neighbors and some other
people. I feel I represent a gentleman named La rry Anderson who happens to be in Arizona who
has some feelings on this as well. He lives at 40 1 Cimarron I think his addre ss is. I’d just like to
make a, if you could turn that back on so I can see the map.
Laurie Hokkanen: It’s going to take just a couple minutes. I’m sorry.
George Lucas: I’m sorry. One of the questions that came up in some of the discussions was on
Laredo Drive itself, and I kind of need the ma p to show you this. There’s a very large
percentage of the frontage that is not assessed for a number of r easons. And if she can get that
up I’ll.
Laurie Hokkanen: The proj ector is taking a cooling br eak so I apologize.
George Lucas: I really don’t want to continue until I can do that.
Laurie Hokkanen: Do you stil l have it up on your screen?
Mayor Furlong: No. We’ve got, I mean we can see the map on our staff reports here.
George Lucas: The issue is, if I understand correctly from discussions with Paul, is that the
whole way, the property was going to be associated with the project or not associated with the
project, was if the driveway accessed one of the roads. Either Laredo Drive, Laredo Lane,
Cimarron Circle, Longview, a portion of Highland, etc, etc. Well as it turns out, there’s a
number of properties, pretty la rge number of properties that border on Laredo that do not have
access. If you can blow that up now , appreciate it. Can you get it up there? That projector’s not
working.
Councilman Litsey: It’s up on the other ones.
Mayor Furlong: If you could put it over the X so the camera. Slide it down a little bit please.
George Lucas: All these proper ties, is that showing now?
Mayor Furlong: Yep.
George Lucas: All these proper ties, these properties are not assessed. In addition though, all of
these properties have frontage, or have drivew ays not on Laredo but on Laredo Lane. The other
properties that really have drivew ays that are assessed to Laredo Dr ive itself are here, here, here,
I believe here, and that’s about it so there’s a large secti on of this part that is not because all this
down here and down here. The majority of this is commercial. We know that. That’s being
assessed under a different formula than the reside ntial, and it’s different because the calculation,
and I’m not going to go through the complex part of the calculation is based on the square
24
68
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
footage of the property over the frontage. For the residential, that’s it. For the commercial then
they look at all the other frontages and make a percentage. For the residential that have multiple
frontages, they don’t do that. So there’s a di fferent methodology in the way assessments are
done. I think to be fair that should be the same. But all of the problems that have been discussed
tonight in terms of the assessment differences in terms of all the other discussions of property
use, the parking, the number of trips, on and on a nd on, basically they addr ess this part of the
drive itself. They don’t address any of the cul-de -sacs. It would seem logical, and I’d like to
maybe have Paul look at this. If he could look at a different formula or different way of looking
at Laredo itself either down to Sa ratoga, or like Larry’d like to s ee it clear down to Highland as it
was to Frontier Trail, that has all these proper ties that aren’t being assessed on it and look if
there’s a different methodology there. And Paul a nd I’ve talked about this a little bit and that’s
something I think he could do and that might be a reasonable way to look at how this could be
done differently. I think one of the feelings that a lot of the residents f eel is that why are the
resident, or the commercial prope rties have an average of $70 pe r frontage foot. The residential
$82 of frontage foot. Does that seem reasonable? That’s based on the fact that they have a
different assessment methodology. Not based how much they use, and I understand all that, but
it’s based on a different assessment methodology. It seems like if we were to split that up into
two different sections, maybe we could make a more fair allotment. That’s the first question.
We don’t want stop, I don’t want to stop this project. I can’t sp eak for everyone. This project
needs to be done.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.
George Lucas: This portion of Laredo is pretty poor. Anyone that’s driv en down it, I mean it’s
like going over a roller coaster. It doesn’t get any better. It ’s kind of fun if you like roller
coasters. It does the same kind of a thing. It shouldn’t be that way and that’s because of the
drainage issues. Some sub-grade issues. It wasn’t made originally to be a heavily used street but
you know all these issues. So it needs to be re-d one. There’s no question. Especially this part
right through here. Is it, you know you look at all this frontage that’s not assessed, it seems like
there’s some other way we can do something, and I’d like to leave, le t Paul give a try at
something like that.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, very good. Very good. I guess the question then of which ones are in
and out and they’re double front pr operties and if there’s some ot her things to look at or other
ways to run, look at some of the numbers.
Paul Oehme: I did have anothe r drawing up here but I want to talk a little bit about past
reconstruction projects and how they kind of relate to this project a little bit. 2004 the city did
reconstruct Santa Fe Trail and a portion of Del Rio and it’s about a third of a mile from Laredo
Drive. Anyways there is a lot of double frontag e property on that section of roadway as well,
and in terms of double frontage lo ts, and that’s shown here in blue. And when you calculate,
when we calculated the benefiting property owne rs versus a double frontage lots, there was
about, in this project it was about 23.4% of the frontage on th e property, on the roadway that’s
being reconstructed as being double frontage or some other non-benefiting use. When we look at
last year’s Koehnen project, this is a little bit harder to show on here but there’s a number of
double frontage lots here as well. Along a good por tion of the roadway here too, and when we
25
69
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
looked at the benefiting properties versus the do uble frontage lots, we calculated about 25% of
street frontage that had the double frontage or outlots or did not have any benefit. And then my
other drawing, and I don’t know wher e that went but when we looke d at the Laredo Drive project
and the areas that we just talked about, that came in right at 25% of non-benefiting or double
frontage lots. The 25% that was you know either outlots or double frontage lots so what I’m
trying to say is, from the past projects, I mean we ’re being consistent. It ’s right around that 25%
of frontage that is, you know that’s not asse ssable. Based upon our current methodology. One
thing that I do want to caveat is you know again, I think what Ge orge was getting at, Mr. Lucas,
was the issue of combining the commercial assessm ent rates with the residential and is there any
other clarification that we shoul d be making with, or trying to separate those two calculations
out. I think that’s the crux of the issue.
Mayor Furlong: Very good, thank you. Still on Cimarron Circle.
Barb Murphy: My name is Barb Murphy and I’m at 404 Cimarron Circle and I do have one
question. Is the post office bei ng assessed for this project?
Paul Oehme: Yes.
Barb Murphy: Okay. Also just in the discussion tonight I just hear about all these different ways
to work the numbers and I can’t help but feel li ke I still am subsidizing the reconstruction of
Laredo Lane and that’s my big objection. I still feel like our house, that our homes are going to
be subsidizing Laredo, whether the methodology is leaning more towards residential or
commercial. I don’t know how to work that out but th at’s just the way that I feel. I would like to
just read two sentences out of the Star Tribune from January 27 th where it just backs up the deal.
Where it goes back to the basis if how do we pay for our roads, and it talks about a task force
that examined ways that cities funded road construction and ended up abolishing assessments.
The conclusion was that roads benefited ever yone and everyone should pay, and so I also
challenge the council to step back and say, do we do all these little differe nt calculations for each
different road project or do we step back and maybe have a task force established and re-assess
how we tackle this so that you don’t end up spending your nights listening to people complain,
and you can be more consistent with how you a pply your policies. Also another question I do
have is, I do support that the ro ad does need to be done. However, the curb and gutter, I know
that the neighborhood did question. When the economy is getting weaker, is this the time to be
assessing us and doing the curb and gutter and doing improvements that you feel are necessary?
Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. I guess Mr. Oehme, in terms of the curb and gutter, the design
standard that we’re reconstructi ng…if you could address that.
Paul Oehme: Sure. The curb and gutter. Ou r standard street secti on does include curb and
gutter. There’s several benefits for including curb and gu tter. One is drainage off your property.
It does allow for better drainage for the roadwa y and it does improve the function of the roadway
I think. It does help with keeping the roadwa y together. You know it ke eps the outer portion of
the roadway structurally strong so it helps longev ity when we come in and potentially mill out a
street in the future, it does pr ovide a benefit for future improv ements, it’s not going to cost as
26
70
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
much for those type of improvements down the road. But I think the main point I want to just
get across is it does help with the drainage and help with those type of issues, especially in this
neighborhood. I know Cimarron Circle, that’s a very flat road. I know they have some drainage
problems on that road to begin with and that’s a perfect location for our example of why we need
curb and gutter.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. I guess just anothe r question on our practice of assessing roads.
Maybe just a short history of the current practic e…just a real quick hist ory Mr. Gerhardt. How
long have we been doing this?
Todd Gerhardt: I think we established this practice about 6 years a go. We went through an
extensive study in determining how we were going to go about rec onstruction. Mill and overlays
and we reviewed probably 4 or 5 different alternatives. If you did read that article on Sunday,
you can see in that article that there’s not one city that does th e same thing, and I think we kind
of went in the middle. This practice that we’v e been doing, I think is fa ir. It’s one where we
have to show true benefit and that’s what that appraisal report that some of you have seen, and I
don’t think we’d be here if we we re trying to push on a cost that we could not justify, and I think
that’s the key thing here. As to the storm wa ter, everybody pays into the storm water fund and
we’re picking up 100% of curb and gutter, and in this project. And it has a variety of different
benefits. As Paul mentioned, it keeps the blacktop, the road into a nice square shape. It guides
our plow trucks as they go along the road, and it really helps the e nvironment. With the
environmental manholes. The bioswales. Storm water ponds. We pre-treat that water before it
goes into our lakes and streams so it plays a very key role in th e environment so you know this
practice, if you kind of look at some of the history of some previous projects like Santa Fe, this
last year on Yosemite and the Koe hnen area, it’s very similar cost s for what was assessed against
those, and that’s where we ta lk about this residential equi valent and I th ink we’re being
consistent in how we implement this.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Anyone else from Cimarron Circle? No? I think then if I’m not
mistaken, I’ve gone through those str eets which are part of the projec t so at this time I’d invite
any other interested party to come forward a nd comment at the public hearing. Okay. Nobody
else? Alright. With that then I’ll just make a final call. If anybody else, if I passed up your
street and you heard something that you want to come back up and clarify, this would just be a
final call then as part of the pub lic hearing. Yes, Mr. Lucas.
George Lucas: Can I just ask one question?
Mayor Furlong: Why don’t you come b ack to the microphone if you would.
George Lucas: Just a question. I just heard the city manager say that curbs and gutters were not
being assessed. If I read the proposal, that is part of the street cost . That is part of the 40% being
assessed, unless I’m missing something. Has something changed?
Paul Oehme: No. The curb and gutter I think we have included in the details…being assessed at
40 and 60%.
27

City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Todd Gerhardt: Okay.
Paul Oehme: The storm water assisted with the drain tile and the storm water piping, the
manholes, those type of things, that’s 100% the city cost so.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. And the reason is the curb and gutter is part of our city street standard
now.
Paul Oehme: Right, exactly.
Todd Gerhardt: My fault. When I see storm water improvements, $389,000, city storm water
fund’s picking up $400 so you threw curb into th e street improvements? Not into the.
Paul Oehme: Right.
Todd Gerhardt: My apology. And our practice on that, which I was a li ttle surprised that
typically if you do not have cu rb on your property, we usua lly do assess for that and so
appreciate the correction.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. So anybody else then that would like to speak at the public hearing
on this before we get it back to council and we ask some questions and comment to move
forward? Okay. If nobody else, is there a motion at this time to close the public hearing?
Councilman Litsey moved, Councilwoman Ernst seconded to close the public hearing. All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0. The public
hearing was closed.
Mayor Furlong: Let’s bring it b ack to council then. There may be some follow up questions that
we have. Maybe we could just start with questions or clarifyi ng questions. If anybody has any.
Councilman Litsey: I do have one. It was brought up here but there seems to be an
inconsistency. I didn’t s ee it that way but with th e way we’re looking at co mmercial properties.
If I heard you right before it talk s about if we actually parceled t hose out as residential properties
they’d be paying more, or they actually are payi ng more now than if you treated it as residential
property, is that correct?
Paul Oehme: Well, yeah under the scenario that I presented before. They would actually be
paying a little bit more if the commercial pr operties were removed and replaced with single
family residential, and we calculated about 19 lots that would be, could be substituted. So under
that scenario they would be paying a little bit more.
Councilman Litsey: Right, okay. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Just a couple questions from a design standpoint, and maybe this is in there.
Driving through the neighborhood, some of the cul-de-sacs and the width of the cul-de-sacs, I
think Mr. Oehme we talked a little bit about that. Is that someth ing you can look at? We want to
28
72
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
make sure that the width is necessary for public safety but if there’s any opportunity to narrow
those in, especially at the end of the cul-de-sac. Some of those turn around’s are pretty close and
closer to the homes than I think we see in our current design standa rds, or standards in terms of
development so that would just be, is that some thing that you can look at? And if so, would you
look at it?
Paul Oehme: Yeah, definitely we’ll take a look at that.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. And then we also received some emails earlier. We didn’t
get a lot of comments tonight on that but that wa s with regard to doing what we can to improve
storm water management and runoff and I know you had mentioned that you’ve had some
meeting with the watershed distri ct already. I assume as we move forward with, if we move
forward to finalize the plans and specs we’ll look for opportu nities to build in flexibility there as
well. Since we start at the top of the hill and go down to the lake so.
Paul Oehme: Absolutely.
Mayor Furlong: I know there’s limited opportunities there.
Paul Oehme: We’re looking at every opportunity we can. We’re meeting with the watershed
district regularly and their engi neers and actually their engineers are talking to Kimley-Horn and
we’re, under specific plan. What we’re propo sing is…design, 6% design and such. The
Watershed District’s engineer w ould have an opportunity to cri tique Kimley-Horn’s plans so, to
see if there’s any other opportunities…if they don’t see them so. We’re working together on
that.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Good to hear. Alright. Any other questions I gue ss at this point? If
not, thoughts. Comments. Councilw oman Tjornhom, your thoughts?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Sure. Believe it or not I actually enjoy these meetings because I
learn a lot and I think everyone in the room learns a lot about what ’s happening and it’s a healthy
discussion to have. Tonight though I think we’re here to kind of finalize that we all agree that
something needs to be done with Laredo, and I th ink everyone in the room has agreed. Or those
who spoke have agreed that it is a problem that n eeds to be resolved. And so at least we can all
agree on one thing tonight. So I too have ma ny questions about methodol ogies of assessments
and who should pay and who shouldn’t pay and why some roads aren’t being assessed and some
are, but those I think, you know there’s many more nights to come where we can really delve
into those questions and get them answered and so tonight, myself, I just want to focus on should
we go ahead and order the plans a nd specs for this project and so I have to agree with everybody
in the room that we should go ahead. Move fo rward and keep this emo tion and then move onto
the next step which is talking about assessments a nd what’s fair and what’s not fair and I am not
convinced of anything so far so I think we need to have more of these discussions and really
figure out what direction as a city and as a staff we should go in resolving so me of these issues.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Councilwoman Ernst.
29
73
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Councilwoman Ernst: Well I too want to thank everyone for showing up tonight. And thank you
for your comments and your suggestions and even ch allenging council. I th ink that we always
need to be challenging ourselves to look at different ways to do things and different
methodologies. But I do support, as Councilwoman Tj ornhom said, that we need to continue to
move forward. Everyone does agree to that so I too would support and moving ahead in ordering
this, plans and specificati ons for the project.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you.
Councilman Litsey: Yeah, I agree with what’s been said. Everyone’s in agreement. As was
already been stated that something needs to be done. I walk and jog along that road quite a bit. I
don’t drive along it a lot but I do walk along it, but. Yeah, if it’s any cons olation, I got assessed
on Big Horn Drive so, welcome to the council and here’s your assessment last year but, so I
think we’re all in agreement that we need to do something. We need to move ahead. We’ve got
a time table here we need to stick with so that we get this project done in a timely manner and
before next winter. So we have the full benefit of the c onstruction year there as much as
possible. That we can do this project. I do think that it’s, I take to heart with what has been said
here. It’s very nice that people are willing to give of their time and come here to express their
opinions and I do appreciate that too. I do think that this project consisted with past practices. A
methodology in terms of what the City picks up in terms with what the residents pick up is kind
of a larger question in terms of past practices and probably won’t be settled for this project if
there’s a movement afoot that the residents would like to see that changed. But I think we still
have time to take a look at like how the commer cial properties are assesse d and keep working at
that and keep the dialogue open and hopefully that will be resolved too. Not necessarily to
everyone’s satisfaction but at leas t knowing that we’ve looked long a nd hard at that and that we
take to heart what you’ve said so. But tonigh t I too support moving ahead and getting the project
going.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. I’l l reiterate the than ks to everybody that came not only this
evening and I know it’s not always easy to stand up under the lights with the camera going and
talk but for everyone that did, and even for t hose that didn’t tonight but came to the public
meetings, the open houses to express their concerns and send us emails, all that is helpful and it,
for myself I know and the other council members, it causes us to really look behind just what’s
being on the surface presented, and make sure wh at, it’s being done for the right reasons and
ultimately that’s what I try to look at each and every time as something’s questioned is, when I
listen to the issue, is the proposal being done fo r the right reasons, and not for the wrong reasons,
as some people suggested it might be here tonight. To the question of does this project, and this
entire area need to be done. I think Councilwoman Tjornhom sai d, if there’s anything that we
can all agree on in this room it’s probably that, and I would include some of these other roads as
well as Laredo Drive. The ones that are included in the project, is that they need to be done.
Between the surface condition of the street a nd what we’re hearing from our engineering
department in terms of the poor condition of the utilities underneath the street, those need to be
improved. Just there’s capacity issues. We can’t do the entire city and everything that needs to
be done. This project has been on our schedule to do since we put toge ther a long range plan
back I want to say probably about 5 years ago or so where we started looking out ahead so
people can see when their area, when their nei ghborhood might be scheduled for some of these
30
74
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
types of improvements so people can get ready a nd plan and ultimately be involved, as many of
you are. So in terms of should we move forwar d tonight ordering the plans and specifications, I
think the answer there is simply yes. In term s of the assessments, we will have time to review
that. I think staff picked up some ideas tonigh t and clearly all of us, the concerns, and I know
that they’re going to spend time and we will spen d time with them taking a look and making sure
that methodology we use is fair. And by fair, it has to be fair to those property owners that are
associated with the project and benefiting from the project and it’s got to be fair to the taxpayers.
It’s got to be consistent, not onl y with past practices but with st ate statute, and it needs to be
done I believe in an objective, logical manner. It ’s something that should be consistent and be
able to be applied consistently going forward as well as looking back so, we’re not done on that
side of the equation and that’s fine because we don’t need to do that. One of the things that
didn’t come up tonight, or I think it did. Mr. Horn mentioned that last ye ar when we went out
for some projects, we received very favorable bids on that and that we’ve attributed historically
to the slow housing market. One of the questio ns came up, doing it now versus doing it later.
Right now, and last year we saw that there we re a number of construction companies, because
they weren’t being hired to put in new developm ents around the area, they were very interested
on working on public street projects, and that’s an other reason to move forward now to get out
there and get those bids so that whatever the cost is, and ag ain from our allocation methodology
and assessment, it’s a percentage of the overall cost. So it’s not this number and then if there’s,
if the bids come in less, everybody does benefit. It’s not that the city be nefits and the residents
don’t. Clearly that wouldn’t be fair. So I think we have some work to do there, and we have to
relook at them. Make sure that what we’re doi ng from an assessment is fair to the parties
involved. To the other taxpayers. It’s consistent . It’s objective and l ogical and it’s something
that we’re doing for the right reasons. And then the result s should be, may not be what
everybody wants or would like to see but at least we’ll all know how we got there and that’s
what we’re looking for. So I think moving forwar d with the project makes sense. Unless there’s
any, is there any other comments or follow-up at this point? If not, there’s a resolution here
that’s been distributed with regard to this pr oject for ordering the plans and specifications as
requested tonight. Is there a motion to adopt this resolution that’s been distributed?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Motion to a dopt the resolution as distributed.
Mayor Furlong: Thank y ou. Is there a second?
Councilman Litsey: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Made and seconded. Any final, I’m sorry Mr. Gerhardt.
Todd Gerhardt: One minor modification to that resolution. Roger Knutson, City Attorney
suggest that we cross out counc il resolution adopted January 28 th and say ordered as proposed in
the feasibility study.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, we’ll make those amendments to this resolution. I’m sure that’s okay to
the maker and to the seconder?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Yeah.
31
75
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
Councilman Litsey: Yep.
Councilwoman Ernst: Mayor just to make sense that they know what the re solution is. I mean it
talks about moving fo rward but reviewing.
Mayor Furlong: The resolution states, and I didn’t write down the propos ed changes here but it
states such improvement is necessary, cost effectiv e and feasible. It’s hereby ordered, and this is
where I think is it the second bullet point?
Mayor Furlong: Proposed in the feasibility report.
Mayor Furlong: Proposed in the feasibility report and that we approve the feasibility study and
authorize Kimley-Horn and Associat es as the engineer of the proj ect. To prepare the plans and
specifications for the 2008 street improvement proj ect. So then just for clarification, those I
think on the schedule then, once th e plans are finalized they’ll co me back to the council for
approval of those plans and authorization to go out for bid, and that will be done within a matter
of I think 2 more council mee tings, is that correct?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: 25 th I think.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Now that generally is mo re of an administrative process. That’s not
going to, there’s no public h earing associated with that, if I’m correct.
Paul Oehme: If we find some big discrepancy between the feasibility study and the final plans
and specs, that’s a time we bring that informa tion before you and see when you consider moving
the project forward.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, but generally if the fina l plans and specification process reaffirms what
was anticipated in the feasibility study, that will come back likely as part of our consent agenda
items, is that correct?
Paul Oehme: Correct.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. And so the next time this will come back from a public hearing
standpoint is after we get the bids back in. We know what the project costs will be. We will
have had an opportunity to look at some altern atives for the assessment and then we’d be
considering authorizing the projec t and adopting the assessment roll at that time, is that correct?
Paul Oehme: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. With that, we have a motion to adopt the resolution. It’s
been seconded. Any other discussion?
Resolution #2008-08: Councilwoman Tjornhom moved, Councilman Litsey seconded that
the City Council adopt a resolution, (amende d to delete the phrase council resolution
32
76
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
adopted January 28 th and replace with ordered as prop osed in the feasibility study),
ordering the preparation of plans and specifi cations for City Project 08-01. All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
Mayor Furlong: Why don’t we, given the hour, w hy don’t we take just a short recess and we’ll
come back at the call of the Chair. Thank you.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS: PRESENTA TION OF MAPLE LEAF AWARD TO
CRAIG PETERSON.
Mayor Furlong: It is my pleasure, bitterswee t but still my pleasure to recognize Craig Peterson
for his outstanding service and dedi cation to the City of Chanhasse n these last 12 years. Craig
has devoted a great deal of his time and talents to this city which includes being on the Planning
Commission from 1995 to ’99 and serving as Chair for the last 3 of those years. Being on our
Economic Development Authority from the year 2000 to 2007. Southwest Transit Commission
from 2002 to 2007, and serving as it’s Chair from 2004 to 2007. And two terms on the City
Council, from December, 2000 to December, 2007. Th ings that stand out most about Craig and
his excellent leadership skills, his commitment to what, to do what it takes to get the job done.
He has been a leader by example. Always prepar ed for our meetings. Constantly tries to raise
the bar by providing thoughts and ideas that enhance the process and the project. Because of his
efforts and work ethic, he has earned the respect of City Council, commission members,
residents, businesses and staff. During his term on the City Council Craig provided leadership
on many projects and policies. The results of which have been demonstrated by Money
Magazine’s naming of Chanhassen as one of th e Best Places to Live in 2005 and by Family
Circle Magazine designating Cha nhassen as one of the Top Ten Towns to Raise a Family in
2007. Craig has been involved in many projects over the years for which he should be very
proud. Construction of Highway 212 and 101 gap project, the new library, numerous
developments and redevelopments throughout the town, development of our city’s first water
treatment plant, miles of new and constructed roads, trails, parks throughout the community,
leadership that created fiscal policies that impr oved our city’s financial value, and in the end
resulted in 4% reductions in city’s tax rate over these last 5 year s. Craig, your leadership, service
and dedication to Chanhassen has been remarkable. We thank you for that. You have to know
that you did make a difference during that time and that is key. I know that’s important, but it’s
important to us. You have touched many lives and many of whom, they know about it and many
may not but rest assured they all… Thank you. What I just presented Craig too is our Maple
Leaf Award. Let me just read that quickly. Pr esented to Craig Peterson…years of service on the
City Council, the Economic Development Au thority, the Planning Commission, Southwest
Transit. It states in recogn ition of outstanding service and de dication to the community by the
Chanhassen City Council and the residents of th e city themselves. Thank you very much.
Craig Peterson: I won’t do what Roger does an d go into the mic like this. You know I think
that number one, I certainly thank you for this and those comments that I don’t think I can live
up to. I certainly participated and happened to be sitting in the chair wh en those things happened
and certainly staff was the primary driver of th e things mentioned and I absolutely am proud to
have worked with the staff that the city has a nd I will remember that for a long time. The word
honor I think is used by politicians a lot. Perhaps over used, but I was thinking in the drive over
33
77
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
today that there isn’t a better wo rd. There just simply isn’t. Honor to serve the public is
something that few people have the opportunity to do, and I think that my goal was always to
approach it that it was an honor and a privileg e and hopefully at the end of the day when the
public looks at what we had done and what I ha d done, that when they look at that, they will
think that I did make a difference Tom, and you know what that phrase means to me. A number
of years ago I was walking by a construction site in a city, not dissim ilar to the city of
Chanhassen and I was watching, I wanted to know wh at they were doing. There were 3 guys in
a row and I went up to the first one and I said, excuse me sir but what are you doing? And the
guy said I’m laying bricks. You know that didn’t really help me very much, you know. And so I
went up to the next guy. Tapped him on the shoul der. Excuse me sir but what are you doing?
Well I’m building a wall. He still didn’t help. I went up to the third person and tapped him on
the shoulder and he turned to me and smiled and he said, I asked him the same question. What
are you doing? And he smiled and said, I’m building a cathedral. In many ways what you are
doing this evening, and what I did for 12 or some years is build a cath edral, and I think the
challenge that I want to leave you and those that will come after you tonight, is that always
remember that you’re building a city. You’re not sitting through an assess ment hearing. You’re
not making a variance. You’re building a city and I think that’s what I tr ied to do, keep in the
back of my mind and sometimes it’s hard. Y ou know like tonight, it was hard. But you know
what I strive for and what I set the challenge to you and others is to remember that you’re
building a city and let the public judge whether you made a differe nce and that’s what I’ll wait,
you know as I drive home, I’ll think about the word make a difference and hopefully I have. So
with that, thank you very much.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Other thoughts and comments.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: The Mayor said I have more than 5 minutes. It’s not on record so,
and I want to first say that Craig I think you were kind of gyppe d tonight because of your 12
years experience and your whole resume that took the mayor more than 5 minutes to recite, I
think instead of just a single maple leaf award, they should have given you the whole tree, but I
guess you know that’s my perception of the whole thing but. One of the first memories I have of
you and I together was our, me running for office fo r the first time and it was my first debate and
I was shaking in my shoes and we were sitting next to each other and I had this statement
prepared and I was thinking oh, and you were firs t of course and you were so eloquently were
speaking and the first thing you sa id is well, I don’t have an ything prepared because I don’t
believe in having prepared statements for thes e debates and I will neve r vote for anybody who
does. And so of course there I have my prepar ed statement and I proceeded to read it and I don’t
know if you voted for me or not. And that I think was the kick-off of you really being my
mentor and really respecting what you had to sa y and we got to be friends. You know we had
council in common and we have something else that we both love to cook. And so I was kind of
comparing the two and what they kind of meant t ogether and you and I both know that we can go
to the store and buy a cook book. We can watch s hows on it. It doesn’t make you a good cook.
You know you have to have a heart and a soul and the passion and the instinct to really do that
well, and I think that’s the same thing with bein g an elected official. Is that you can read books
about how to be a good speaker. How you can ma ke good public policy. You know how to be a
good council member. You’ve got seminars on it, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re
going to be successful, and Crai g, I don’t think you needed book. I don’t think you need a
34
78
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
seminar. You just had that instinct and that passion and that will to be a public servant, and you
really were and you’ve taught me so many thi ngs. I probably need to go buy some more books,
but you really were a mentor to me and this isn’t good bye. I think the glass is half full. You are
leaving us and going on to a better place where you can be a voice for us in Carver County.
Councilman Litsey: That di dn’t sound good. I’m sorry.
Mayor Furlong: Different place.
Councilman Litsey: I’m sorry.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: But really I mean, we need that representati on that you had for our
citizens here in Chanhassen, to be moved onto th at next level at the Met Council and so I am
thrilled you’re going. I’m sad you’ll be gone. Bu t I always know we have Monday nights. I’m
sure you’ll be sitting with your wonderful dinne r you prepared and watching us on television so
I’ll have to have a signal or something to say hello.
Craig Peterson: You don’t want to k now what I had for dinner then.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: So thank you Craig.
Craig Peterson: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Vicki.
Councilwoman Ernst: Well I was not prepared. I didn’t know that I was going to be speaking
tonight.
Craig Peterson: I was hoping nobody would so we’re in the same boat Vicki.
Councilwoman Ernst: But I’ve always been a wo man of very few words, but I will try and
express my appreciation for what you’ve done, you’ve always been there for me and I want to
thank you number one. It was very, a rewardi ng experience to serve with you on the Southwest
Transit Commission. I saw you in action there. I saw you in action here at the City Council, and
you are a man I’ve always respected and will continue to respect. You’re a teacher to me and I
really want to thank you for everything that you’ve done for me, as well as the city of
Chanhassen and as well as Southwest Trans it Commission and congratulations on your new
appointment and I’m excited to see how you’ll grow in this, in your new endeavors and best of
luck to you.
Craig Peterson: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Councilman Litsey, thoughts.
Councilman Litsey: Yes, echo some of the things that have alr eady been said but, and I haven’t
had the opportunity to know you quite as long as some up on the council but having said that, in
35
79
City Council Meeting - January 28, 2008
the year that I have gotten to know you well on the council, you’ve been just a terrific mentor.
You’ve provided me with some guidance and you’ve tempered some things at times that perhaps
I’m better off for for having listened and watche d you in action. A lot of your mentoring was
just watching how you handled situations and dealt with them. Thoughtfully. Some of the
comments you made in your remarks, I’ve taken to heart because I’ve seen you do that in
practice. It’s not just what you say, it’s what you do. To me that distinguishes the people that,
the difference between people that are just there for other reasons and the people that are there
truly to serve and you’re one of those that’s here to truly serv e and so I thank you for that. From
the very beginning you’ve been very. Excuse me.
Craig Peterson: I’m the one th at’s supposed to be choking.
Councilman Litsey: From the very beginning you’ve , like I said, you’ve been a terrific mentor
and I really do appreciate that. I’m going to miss you a lot on the council, I already do, but
having said that, you are off to hopefully bigger and better things. That you can carry on the
legacy you left with the city wi th the Metropolitan Council and do ev en bigger and better things.
More regionally, which will have impact, still have an impact on Chanhassen obviously, and it’s
going to be nice to have you there. So thank you. For your service to the city. For what you’ve
done for me and stay in touch obviously and keep up the good work on the Met Council.
Craig Peterson: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. Gerhardt.
Todd Gerhardt: Well what can I say? On behalf of all of city staff, I think you used the one
word I think that we, I think would all agree with is that it’s b een our honor to work with you.
Your leadership. Your directi on. I think you always used the word, leave your finger prints on
projects throughout the town and we definitely see a lot of th at as I drive around town, seeing
your direction and leadership to staff. On th e library. On commercial businesses. Trying to
always improve the architectural style of residential or commercia l businesses here in town and I
really appreciate your guidance over the last 7 years on the City C ouncil. 12 years on the
Planning Commission. You’re definitely seeing your finger prints all over this town and we
really appreciate you challenging us to make Ch anhassen a great community to live in and thank
you.
Craig Peterson: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: I’ll just fini sh briefly. Craig you’ve been a friend and a confidant and I
appreciate that. Not only the opportunity to work together but our friendship that has developed
during that time. I’ve always appreciate d your vision, your strategic thinking and your
dedication. Not just to get things done, which is important, but to get them done well, which is
equally important, and we’ve done that and you’ve been a big pa rt of that. Todd mentioned, it
has been an honor. It is an honor. Continues to be a honor to work with you and be proud
because you did serve honorably and we appreciate that. Thank you for that as well.
Craig Peterson: Until we meet again.

Mayor Furlong: Very good. Thank you. Anything el se for council presentations this evening?
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS:

William Thibault 11712 Wayzata Boulevard
Aanenson and the narrowness of that for residential and to get driveways in there As you
heard from Mr Gowen he s interested in the medium density but he s not sure what his time frame is So what we re stating there is that the challenge on this is to get something that makes
a good transition then office building and that would be through design standards How we look
at the buffering Noise attenuation Those sort of things to make that a good use so we are still
recommending that that remain office We just want to respond to the comments that were
raised by the neighbors there Any questions on that one Then we ll move to the next one This piece we recommended the office zoning on this piece Maybe you could slip Bob right to the
next one too The applicants proposed and this entire packet and our response there s a lot
more dialogue in the staff report They presented a proposal that showed retail commercial and
wanted to consider retail at this intersection They felt that that was desirable We had some
concerns on that north side We talked about doing it giving the office zoning on that south side Again as that transitional use With the premise that the green space be preserved on that
north side increasing the ponding We had some concerns about traffic generation Access and
those sort of things so we are still recommending that that stay office again and the applicant
would like to see that mixed use or dual guiding on that piece but we re recommending that we
are up zoning it because it is currently zoned residential so our recommendation does up zone it but not to the level and extent that the developer and again the entire in your Chapter 2
attachments the entire response The entire proposal from the applicant and staff s responses in
there Commercial pieces Parcel 33 34 and 36 The piece that we ve identified as the Fox Fox
Family and the Dorsey parcels We had recommended a dual guiding on that property This is a
piece of property that we had potentially considered the regional mall and we ve also dual guided that as pure office Again the rationale for that is if for some reason the regional mall or
86
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
whatever however we define that mall was to come about that we have the dual guiding There
was a lot of discussion You heard we handed out last time Maxfield Research had said the concern about the downtown We also had the Chamber supported the commercial itself We
did attach emails from residents that a significant amount that were in favor of that and some
that were still had some the concerns about that Again the staff s position on that is that is a
zoning district we will be creating if that s the direction the City Council wants to go and you
will see that zoning district and how that operates Again the goal of that is to provide the bulk height How that s going to look Articulation and then some of the other things that we desire
We talked about lead construction Energy efficient Those sort of things that we would talk
about for the mall itself but again we re satisfied that if it doesn t become that use that a pure
office zoning would work for that Any questions on that one Then the next one there should
be an area map there somewhere This is the Erhart piece This piece is currently zoned residential The staff did recommend a pure office zoning of 12 acres right at adjacent to
Powers Boulevard and the City does have a lift station going there We did hire a consultant to
look at a land use but so did the applicant and I ll just briefly touch on those just to make sure
that that s back in the record They presented I know it s a little hard to see that last time We
had some problems getting the disk into the computer system so this is the applicant s proposal to consider actually having dual guiding so it d be residential and or the pure office zoning on
that so it d be significant you see where the residential is One of the other issues that was
raised and I had I believe that s up there The tax comparison I ll try to zoom in that real
quick too This was an issue that was raised at the meeting So that we looked at we actually
had the city s financial consultants Ehlers and Associates review the difference So this would be if it was office retail a comparison If it was to be office retail you can look at the
comparisons So what would the City s there s 3 options there If you looked at Option 1 if
you can follow on the top box Option 1 would be 45 acres of office With surface parking
Option 2 would be with a ramp Then 3 would be retail Retail with a ramp And then 40
acre business park and 40 acres commercial So if you followed down the next box generates what the local tax would be so clearly if it was high end office with a ramp parking it s going to
generate the highest percentage of property tax Now we also did a comparison showing the
different potentials for if it was residential Go ahead and flip that And again this was in your
packet So we looked at the 4 options there One being 80 units of single family again with the
different market value depending on the price points 80 units of single family 240 townhouses and 640 of apartments so again you can see the following under the second box property tax
estimates You could see the potential tax revenue there So if you look back at the high end
office with the parking ramp clearly that generates the greatest percentage or portion of local
taxes Again the point that we re raising in here we certainly accept that as an option and that s
one of the factors of looking at land uses If you go back to our original chart we did recommend that we re increasing 200 acres of office zoning We re creating that What we
don t know here is the potential for the what s going to happen on the other side of the street
That could be more office if the mall didn t go through This is the proposal let me back out
This is the proposal that the staff had done looking at this site itself and using that 12 acres
This is Powers Boulevard The interchange We do have a city owns property in that area and the city park that s identified there It says park and the preserved land would be working
through that making that connection with trails So again the applicant would like to see the
option of having that dual guided which would allow for residential or the pure office zoning
2
87
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
At this point in time the staff again is recommending the original proposal which would be just
the 12 acres adjacent to the Powers Boulevard Any questions on that one
McDonald Anybody have any questions I ve got a couple questions for you in this particular
area The first one is for one of the first times we re beginning to kind of look at what s the
impact of taxes on development Is there a way a mechanism to put this into use as we go
forward with making decisions and everything about property and it s use
Aanenson Yeah and we have done that We did it on Liberty on Bluff Creek We looked at
the tax consequences there I think we have to always step back and say if we re going to say
we re always going to go with that we wouldn t do maybe something some affordable housing
project We have to put that in context in the entire mix and we re confident the mix that we re recommending is the responsible way to go by way of increasing that amount of commercial and
the amount of and I m talking about the entire land use in the city into the future and increasing
the pure office So if you notice the one that we did reduce was office industrial and Bob s got
that chart So if you look at what where we are trying to increase is more in that pure office
zone which we do have a lot of is the office showroom And so we re trying to attract that higher end office
McDonald Okay And then one of the other questions I ve got on your recommendation here
what the applicant was actually looking for is the dual zoning that we ve done for across the
street because we re just not sure what s going to happen We re trying to keep all our options open Why wouldn t we want to extend the same thing to the east because of the proximity of
that landing because a lot of what happens across the street is probably going to determine what
happens to the east
Aanenson Sure That was based on the input that we had from the neighborhood meetings There really wasn t full disclosure on this because this came up later As we had all the open
houses and received comments we did have another neighborhood meeting We really didn t
have a in staff s opinion an opportunity to gather input When you have existing stub streets
into this area the development pattern here is different than the across on Powers Boulevard
Those people were apprised in that neighborhood that we were considering changing that We have existing prevailing development patterns that are different So that would be the rationale
for that And this has been guided with existing homes around it for a long time for residential
McDonald Okay Because of it s proximity to the large lots which are already
Aanenson Exactly
McDonald In that particular area
Aanenson Exactly Exactly
McDonald Okay
3
88
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Aanenson Alright And then we ll move on to just maybe you just want to put up Bob the big
map with the colors The 60 numbered lots Thank you And I just wanted to mention a couple other ones that came up This wasn t identified but we had somebody if you just want to point
to that site on the Klein piece The Brighton Corporation s just a little bit further north of that
That one that was Mike Wardle Brighton Corporation out of Boise Idaho spoke at the meeting
and did want to get on the record that they would like to see commercial zoning That wasn t
one that we had identified to rezone and wanted to get on the record stating and you will be seeing that probably within a month We haven t received the application but we anticipate that
one coming in We re not sure when it comes in if it will be complete but that one should be
submitted here shortly But they did want to get on the record again the staff did not support
that rezoning And then we also received an email from Mr Halla Want to point to that site
That 46 Mr Halla did request that he would like to see some strip mall some convenient commercial high rise on that property Staff does not support that and we ve got commercial
which we think we talked about a potential convenience commercial but not in this area We
kind of looked at that when we did that larger commercial study and if we incorporated that into
41 again we want to embed that in similar to what we did over on Highway 41 It wouldn t be a
free standing commercial center but embedded into an office park where you re supporting those pieces there So it s not so loud and bright in that area but we would not support it on the
Halla site and that would be our recommendation on that Any other questions on land use
McDonald Could I ask you a question Is this I wasn t quite sure where this is Corner of
Pioneer Trail and 101 That s currently where his golf course is
Aanenson That s correct
McDonald So what he s talking about is a redevelopment of the golf course area
Aanenson Correct Well from the way the letter reads it s in your packet he thought he could
still do some of that and operate the golf course
McDonald Okay Thank you I just wanted clarification where it was at
Aanenson Alright Moving along then On Chapter 3 which is the historic preservation I m
going to turn this off because now I don t have the maps with that one
McDonald If I could interrupt you for just a second Okay since we just finished Chapter 2
I d like to give any of the commissioners an opportunity if in general over land use if there was anything you feel wasn t covered or any comments you want to make about Chapter 2
Papke I guess I have just one observation or comment on the Parcel number 14 The one on th 78 there Compared to the small strip that we have at Century Boulevard which seems to be
struggling a bit this corner seems to be quite successful The Kwik Mart is very successful At least antidotal evidence says every time I go by there there s a lot of business going on there and
the ones on Century are struggling and I guess conceptually I m struggling a little bit with this
You know I understand the rationale for saying you know no retail on there at all but it almost
seems like because there s kind of critical mass at that corner already If they want to do a little
4
89
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
bit more across the street is that really so bad I guess I m struggling with the down side of
allowing a small amount of retail since we already have a very successful corner there
Aanenson That s right That s a great question The staff s position on that is we may have
been premature on that across on Century Now Lifetime is open we ve got 400 employees out
there who are using that end of the What we ve talked about with the office if they came in if
they did some support within the office we talked about that but we think one of the goals that we ve really tried hard to do is not have strip commercial up and down Highway 5 We think
we ve been successful We think if there s other offices to support that we would look at that
So what was our position on that I know they re interested in doing a bank and we you know
would do something creative on that but we didn t want to give the pure office and have that be
larger and kind of those businesses that made an investment on the other piece Because now that we ve got the rest of that industrial park up and running and potentially the other building at
Lifetime we think that creates a lot more energy down there for the gas station too
McDonald Let me do a follow up on that because in the beginning when I started on the
commission one of the things we had or the way land was zoned as far as industrial use is developers came in The market drove us towards residential We changed our approach on a
number of areas because that s who wanted to do something What mechanisms do we have in
place Are we locking ourselves in by zoning it office only and development comes in and again
the market drives us towards something else
Aanenson The difference is really if you go through the comprehensive plan we rezone the
property If they come through separately anybody can ask for rezoning at any time That s
their right They process the application so it doesn t preclude them And I think the challenge
here is you know it s easier to go this way instead of to get a land use rezoning takes a majority
of the council So it takes 4 5ths It s a little bit more complicated because it should be more thoughtful So to come through this process and get it done that s done for you then you just
come through and you re consistent with it So what we re saying is we want to make sure that
same with Mr Erhart so there s more thoughtful consideration and then we give more due
diligence to those issues that we didn t spend that much time studying And if you read through
we had a lot of issues with the retail and that was the dialogue going back and forth that s been going on a for a number of years that we didn t support that much retail at that intersection It s
a significant amount looking at what we have for some of those neighborhood cores and that
was our concern is the amount of So could he get either or Yes Can you say no It s if it s
one or the other Yes you can but I think again it takes a little bit more review input to change
it
McDonald Okay I guess what it comes down to it s the same process we went through before
where again we looked at it We made evaluations based upon what was being presented to us
We made a decision
Aanenson Correct
5
90
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
McDonald So no one is actually foreclosed from doing anything If they ve got a good plan
that s thoughtful and again if the market s what it is we do want to see land developed and we will consider things
Aanenson Yeah you re correct Mr Chair and again I think the other reason for some of the
people like Mr Wardle to get on from the Brighton Corporation to get on the record saying so
you can come back and say well why didn t you come before They re raising this as an issue to say we believe that the staff s recommendation is flawed so they re on the record stating that so
when they come back through we still have that same dialogue
McDonald Okay I maybe apologize a little bit for holding this up but this I think is probably
the key chapter in the whole comprehensive plan and I do want to make sure that we ve given the public enough I think opportunity to think about this and come forward and they ve given us
some good ideas I just want to make sure that in going through this that we do as a
commission make some comments to this and give you some more feedback so I appreciate
you
Aanenson Yeah and I think this is very appropriate to have this dialogue and again similar to
what we did on that other site the one I just mentioned on 101 and Lyman this was never
noticed in the public hearings as potential retail site so when we had our open houses there
wasn t that same neighborhood review of that so I just want to make sure that we ve done our
due diligence Let the neighbors to give them a fair shake at well I didn t know You did have some neighbors show up at the last meeting but I m not sure that they ve had the same review
McDonald Okay You want to go onto Chapter 3 I believe we ve done with Chapter 2
Chapter 3 then
Aanenson Chapter 2 was excuse me Chapter 3 Historic Preservation This was one that the
Planning Commission had some concerns about Are we doing enough in this chapter Again
our goal is to partner with the County and being the lead in that They are doing the data
collection for historic and cultural resources so we want to partner with them We will be again
we ve got the goal in the comprehensive plan and our city ordinances where we ll be putting some of that mechanism to make that happen and that s where your concern is We didn t see
that How do we know that s going to happen and that s when I say to you our next project
after this will be coming back with a more specific implementation of those So your question of
what s the City s role I think we need to put more teeth in that That will be through the
ordinance itself And we had a meeting with the County on this issue We have scheduled this for a work session to tour some buildings to talk about that in more detail so we certainly
understand your level of concern that we re doing what we can do to preserve those properties
and we have a good relationship with the County on doing that so again we will be putting that
into ordinance So we just want to put out there because we ve never had this in our
comprehensive plan before This level of goal to preserve and that will be reflected in the ordinances itself Any questions on that
McDonald Any questions on Chapter 3
6
91
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Aanenson Okay And then Chapter 4 Housing We gave you a lot of numbers on that chapter
and that was really talking about what our price points are Whether our value is in housing keeps or 402 000 is our current average value for housing in the community and we ve got a
wide range of housing price points and so the question that was raised is why do we belong to
Livable Communities Act What s the benefit of that So again we when we apply for other
grants through the Metropolitan Council that s one of the things that they look at We have
leveraged that money when we ve done projects For example the Gateway project that we just opened up was also rental affordable project that we did leverage Met Council money on that
one So we do support belonging to the Livable Communities Act That s one of the things that
we re still falling short on is affordable rental The rest of it the market takes place Fills that
gap for affordable owner occupied The rental s a little bit more difficult to capture but we feel
good about what we ve provided in meeting the goals and so we don t see that as big issue with the Met Council Any other questions on that
McDonald Any questions on Chapter 4
Aanenson Okay I ll let Bob
Generous Well you may think that the land use is the most important All these systems are
important as part of the And the first one we ll deal with a natural resource element and
something new that we re bringing out as part of this the 2030 comprehensive plan is the desire
to develop a natural resource management plan Really a stewardship plan for the natural resources in the community We have some ordinances in place to build on We have the Bluff
Creek primary zone The Bluff Creek protection ordinance The bluff protection ordinance A
wetland protection ordinance and shoreland protection ordinance Now we re looking at the
systems that are the natural systems that we have and we ll be developing a management plan
for that How to enhance that and maintain the environment that will benefit the community overall So and some of the questions are how do they do this Well in the back we have goals
to protect trees and provide some policies that we can develop Look at all the systems like that
There s water and vegetation so but that will be a big over the next or two to come in and
actually work with property owners and businesses to create this management plan Look at how
we re going to maintain the property that we re getting as part of dedication through subdivisions or through acquisitions if any referendums take place So that s what the natural resources
element is dealing with and it looks at vegetation and water and other natural systems and
habitats I don t know if there s a whole lot more If you go into a lot of details I think we ve
gone through that in a previous meeting Any more questions And again one of the questions
came up was the surface water How does the city treat our surface water And we already have the ordinances in place We have a wetland protection ordinance We have a surface water
management plan A second generation one so we re looking at that Later tonight we ll have
the public hearing on the the MSP 4 Permit So the City s doing a lot to improve our water
quality and with every development we look at that and we re only going to look at additional
measures to help improve that water quality We think we re addressing some of the concern that we brought up along the way
McDonald I think the biggest thing from you know the residents that I heard and I just want to
make sure it s in here is everybody s concerned about the quality of the water especially the
7
92
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
lakes and what we do to it The impact of development Part of what we ve looked through here
is to try to establish rules You mentioned the Bluff Creek Overlay We ve got some rather stringent requirements there as to how close you can go What you can do You know runoff
and all of those things Going forward as part of the comprehensive plan if someone comes in
and wants to do development are we going to have enough of a blue print to show you begin to
look at impact upon the lakes and the waters of this area that we re going to be able to point to
and say this is the goals you ve got to meet and everything
Generous In the comp plan it provides you the general As part of our zoning and subdivision
ordinance we have the specific regulatory requirements that people will have to address
McDonald Right which are the sewers and the grades and all those kinds of things
Aanenson Right
McDonald I guess what I m just trying to get at is you know I m reading through the emails
and everybody s very concerned about this section going in there What is going in there Are we putting something in there that says this is what we want to meet as far as the water quality
and this is how you as someone who s developing or doing some of these is going to help us to
meet that
Aanenson Let me just back out of that Natural Resource plan is really an umbrella because we have the storm water management plan which is a separate document which we did last year
and that plan also gives a list of projects that we re going to go forward and I think when we go
into the next item I ve asked Terry to kind of weave all that together because we have all these
little pieces But really the natural resource plan is broader than just how we manage water
because we have as Bob indicated we ve got the requirements that you have to do for a project For permitting and the review But also when we talk about natural resources we talk about
why do people move here Certainly it s for the lakes and water quality is for the wetlands It s
for the trees The slopes So it s that broader thing And the goal that we re saying in here
while we ve addressed storm water specifically with the storm water management plan we also
want to step back and say we want to look at the natural resources as a whole Now we ve acquired all this property through extraction using the Bluff Creek Overlay Zone for example
invasive species in some of those How are we going to manage the properties that we ve
acquired So that s kind of what that natural resource plan It will include some of the storm
water but that s kind of always be tracking on it s own separate
McDonald Right Storm water s always separate because of the impact and the way we treat it
Again what my issue came down to is natural resources Lakes waters those things because
that s the comments that we have these lake groups that come up and talk about You talk about
water clarity and you know the runoff that goes into these lakes and everything and the Seminary
Fen How we those are natural resources and all I m trying to get at is that it s in here as far as the comprehensive plan goes that if someone comes in to this community and wants to do
something they can read through this and understand If they have an impact on these areas we
have certain goals and conditions that we want to meet

Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Aanenson Correct And those are all the good buffers that we just applied We went back and
revisited Moved re categorized our types of wetlands and changed the buffer setbacks and those sort of things so that s already in place but there s a whole other level and we ll get to that
when we get to the next one
McDonald Okay
Aanenson Understood
McDonald Does anyone else have anything on natural resources before Bob moves on
Generous Now the parks and open space element and it looks at the future of the community and what it additional facilities that we will need This map basically represents what the city s
long term vision is for it s parks and open space facilities There s a lot there has been more
emphasis on preserving natural open spaces Not making the athletic fields but they also have
those requirements and so it looks at all the standards that we use in determining how much land
we need for population for our community parks our neighborhood parks and we look at service areas and all that All the things that go into that It also inventories some of the private and
public other public agencies that some of these that we have in our community that also are
available to our residents Basically this is a guide plan for looking at development in the future
At one time a lot of the parks and open space were shown as our land use plan However that
was really a misnomer because it gave people the impression that we had control of the property and we were going away from that land use and saying if the city is will attempt to purchase
parkland in the future it s in the parks and open space element that s more appropriate and it
provides more detail than we would be able to do under the land use element We believe this
will be a good guide for the community The city s been known for our trail system and our
extensive system of parks and we will continue to build them Again that s a quality of life issue Goes with natural resources It s things that people that come and live and work in the
community like to have and so we re trying to develop a framework for providing that And so
at the end of this there s actually the capital improvement program to show the phasing of
acquisition and development of the park system That s the basically the parks and open space
element It looks at trails parks primitive open space that the community will strive to provide as it continues to develop
Aanenson Did you want to talk about the comments we got from Carver County In that email
just briefly
Generous Basically Carver County found that our plan was consistent with what they were
doing They wanted to they talk about not providing connections into the regional park from the
Camp Tanadoona area which we show on our future land use map However our concern is if
the Campfire ever goes away we would still and that area develops it s guided for residential
development on top of the park use so we would want to provide residents with an opportunity to get into the park So that was one of the issues that they came up with

Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Aanenson Can I just add something else too We just found out too last week on the 41
crossing that we did get funded I forgot where that one is for the it s on the trail map there Right on the
Generous Being recommended yes It s this connection here but it s highly ranked as part of
the parks pedestrian trail system as part of for State funding and so the group that is proposing
that if their recommendation is approved then Carver County s actually leading the process on that and if it s approved we will get a pedestrian underpass to connect our trail system within the
Highover development to the Minnewashta Regional Park system
Aanenson And that will also give an opportunity to the school who does use that to go
underneath 41 to provide access over to the regional park
Generous Create separation which is you know part of the entire if you look at the Bluff Creek
corridor we have an underpass at Highway 5 With the Lyman Boulevard upgrade we ll have
another underpass as part of Bluff Creek Boulevard we have a pedestrian underpass so we ll
have this extensive system where parents and children can go down and have a separated grade crossing at our roadways
Aanenson All the way from the regional park down
Generous So that will take them down to Pioneer and then things will break up there because they can t we can t continue it s too steep to go down but we re looking at if that area
develops that we ll have a trail system along the tops of the bluffs so people can look down into
the gorge area and actually enjoy that environment without negatively impacting them It also
talks about the southwest light rail system and the city continues to use that and maintain that as
a pedestrian corridor and bike system I brought up the Campfire site The Seminary Fen is an area that the city would like to preserve and that s actually part of another mechanism to look at
that We have a wetland protection ordinance
McDonald Can I ask you a question about the Seminary Fen just to kind of clarify You say
the city would like to preserve that Why couldn t we preserve it Is it all in private property at this point
Generous It s all privately owned yes
Aanenson That was when we looked at the wetland ordinance we did create a new category to increase the setbacks We have the control of a greater setback to reduce the impact on that but
it s still in private ownership
McDonald Okay thank you
Generous We re always looking at the Herman Field connection to the regional park That s
from the north side down into the project Again a lot of residents like to use this as an access
into the regional park It s a public facility You know people are walking in There s word of
mouth that hey this is a nice experience and they can share that with other people and then they
10
95
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
can come so we d like to keep those connections informal connections that we have and
provide for that in the future so we don t believe that there should be anything that separates our local systems from the regional system And again you can drive a car in there This is
something you would walk in That was it from the County Otherwise they seem to agree
with our park and trail plan and work in conjunction with us to help facility that 7 And this is
where before the meeting I provided you with a revised pages 8 through 11 The first two
paragraphs were added due to comments that we received from Eden Prairie and those were The transportation element deals with existing facilities and deficiencies in our facilities and
what we have to do to that However there were like I said a couple changes that we were
talking about specific projects within this element and it talks about improvements to the
roadway system and then we developed a capital improvement at the end Chapter 10 deals with
trying to combine the capital improvements We ll get to that later but one other question there was how do you recall these projects and people can see what s all involved in that and we tried
to address that The MUSA phasing was staging helps to determine priorities for when
projects should be or roadway improvements will be done For instance on Highway 101 the
improvement from Lyman to Pioneer needs to take place around the 2010 MUSA development
phase so that we have adequate infrastructure to serve the development in that area As we continue to move south to the 2015 area we ll deal with 101 from Pioneer down to the existing
Flying Cloud Boulevard or existing 212 corridor which will become County Road 61 with the
turn back and everything that goes forward with that Again the capital improvements are on 10
We tried to clarify that The idea of the question came up about bridges and the city does or the
bridges in the community are inspected on a timely manner based on the National Bridge Inspection Standards which happen and those inspections happen every 1 to 2 years We can
add that right into the plan That s not a problem to approve 101 again we re investigating
funding sources for this We didn t make any of the cut off s in this round of funding Of course
there s a lot of transportation improvements that need to be done in the state and so they have to
prioritize that and come up with adequate funding sources And then beginning of page 8 is where Eden Prairie provided us with comments on the map and they have to do first with their
own well which is on the eastern entrance to the community We currently designate the south
lane from Highway 5 to the border as a collector road They want us to upgrade that to a minor
arterial A main minor arterial and that s consistent with the Met Council guidelines that it
carries sufficient traffic volumes and has a design speed that would accommodate a minor connector arterial And with the opening of 312 and additional traffic will be going down there
And then on the north side we currently have Dell as a local street They would like us to show
it as a minor collector As a collector roadway and so we re recommending that that change be
done And then in the narrative we show Lyman Boulevard from 101 east We show it on the
map as a collector but we don t have it in the narrative and so we re recommending that that be included in the narrative so our maps and our text correspond with each other And so that s all
the revisions that came the sheet that I handed out tonight so Basically the transportation
system looks at what type of facilities you ll need to handle the future development of the
community We did a traffic analysis showing data to look at where trips generated and where
they re going to grow and then we used piggy backed on Carver County for their projections for 2030 traffic volumes to look at which roadway systems have to be under which classifications
And so basically that map is the outcome of all that study and analysis
McDonald Anyone have any questions on Chapter 7 Thank you Chapter 8
11
96
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Generous Chapter 8 is the water Again this looks at existing and future systems needed within the community to provide sewer service to our residents Looks at and this map gets very
detailed It looks at all the sizing that s appropriate to serve an area and it actually uses a MUSA
phasing plan to look at when we do the improvements And that was one of the big questions
that came up is why did they change from the 2020 plan Previously the 2010 MUSA was that
area bounded by Pioneer 101 and 312 Well in looking at that there s a significant investment that the City would make in putting in a lift station and forcemain system to service that area
And to pay for that improvement we had to have a sufficiently large area that would connect to it
and pay the connection fees to help fund that project And also we looked in the 2010 MUSA
area there wasn t a lot of developable land There s a big wetland complex The City had
purchased a 30 acre park as part of it and so we didn t have there would be not enough land to accommodate our growth over that 5 year period and so we ve expanded the 2010 MUSA to
include areas down to the golf course and over to Highway 101
Aanenson Just want to reiterate That was one of the questions when we presented this to you
that you wanted to make sure our residents understood the implication of that We did have that additional meeting We sent out 250 300 notices We had a really good turnout for that We
actually had engineering staff planning staff and park and rec there What we found out is the
traffic patterns are changing on 101 We have some homes people that find it difficult to live in
that situation would like to be able to subdivide their property Develop so they are anticipating
sewer One of the things that the engineering staff looked at in modeling that future area is we did provide for those large lot subdivisions if in the future they couldn t get sewer That s a
potential It s not our goal to provide those large lot subdivisions with sewer That s a lifestyle
that they ve chosen but if in the future we have failed systems and we re trying to protect
ground water sometimes we have that as option We model that We understand that cost but
certainly development this came up last time I just want to reiterate it Development as we move south depends also on adequate infrastructure which includes 101 As Bob indicated we
didn t get the funding so those are kind of all tied together The City doesn t have isn t acting as
a developer We respond to development so for things to happen someone comes forward with
a proposal to make development happen so when we look at the Erhart property which we
looked at before that s the biggest one that would be going forward in the next MUSA which is scheduled 2010 It s a possibility that that could be advanced sooner than that and we re
contemplating that But the rest of that area someone would have to come forward with a
project and that would include the golf course or Mr Halla s property or some of those so the
City s not seeking them to go out and develop That just provides that opportunity for that
development to develop
Generous And then again as part of the phasing plan we looked at and as part of the 2020 plan
we actually looked at serving the Minnesota River Valley by going down Bluff Creek Boulevard
The 2030 plan actually reverses that and looks at serving the river valley going down 101 so we
picked up the easterly area there first The large lot development the Hesse Farm area on Bluff Creek Drive we don t believe that unless the systems start failing significantly will actually be
served by sewer and water because we d have to they d have to put gravity sewer down to the
river valley and then over to a lift station and bring it back up so that would be the last area and
we don t know that there s enough properties that would make a 2020 MUSA area sufficient So
12
97
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
we think that we could put in two additional phases rather than a 2010 2015 and a 2020 MUSA
So again that s the other big change then instead of having those 3 or 2004 2010 2015 and 2020 we have a 2010 and a 2015 phasing area
McDonald Okay and out of all that if what I hear is correct the thing that kind of slows it
down is infrastructure Roads and those types of things If something were to happen and 101
were to suddenly get accelerated and get fixed are we going to be able to accommodate that
Generous The system and plans are in place We have the ideas in place that we can
accommodate it Again that s development driven
McDonald But I m saying if something happens right now 101 isn t probably going to stop anything just because of the road the way it is
Generous Right
McDonald But if something happens and say we didn t get funding I know a bridge was included in that across the river and which path it s going to take if that suddenly became a big
priority and got changed that could probably change the total landscape down there Are we
going to be okay to respond to that
Generous We should be yes And then MUSA phasing is something that the City controls in conjunction with the Met Council The big thing is capacity We have a system that can handle
that growth and they re trying to do this in an efficient and effective manner We re sizing
everything to accommodate that future development Also we think that down in the river valley
that some of the land use amendments that we re making that there ll be sufficiently high
investment potential to make people want to do the to bring the sewer down there so they can put in their offices and support commercial center instead of the driving range and the nursery
that s down there now So that s the sewer Any other questions And then a water system
works in conjunction with the City s sewer plan Basically it looks like the existing facilities and
your future facilities based on land use projections of ultimate build out of the community and
what systems we will need to have in place And additional ones we know that we need another water town down to serve the southern part of the city however we re looking at several areas on
Powers Boulevard there There s some areas that we re down on Lyman Boulevard In the high
pressure zone which is the northeast northwestern part of the city we need to increase the
capacity of the water storage tank up there We need to add about what is it 550 000 gallons
of storage to meet the future demands of that area within the system Additionally we have a westerly water treatment plant that we re looking at so we get complete treatment of the city s
water supply They just approved the contract for Wells 12 and 13 City Council did last night
so that will bring back on line the wells that we lost last summer Keep our ability to meet the
demands of existing and future development in line One of the big issues in this was the
development of a or expansion of a conservation plan and the City has been working with the DNR to create a management plan or conservation management plan for our water supply It s
still being commented on by the DNR and it s actually one of the attachments I don t know all
the details I m not sure if Alyson does but we want to encourage people to conserve water
Right now we per person we use too much water in our community We ve already adopted
13
98
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
some ordinances to hopefully reduce demand We have a tiered water system in place They
added a third tier for water usage over a certain level They have the non watering hours for landscaping and they re going to monitor that and see if that works and then we ll have to
continue from there
Aanenson I ll let Terry talk about the grant
Jeffery Mr Chair commissioners Currently we re working with the EPA right now on a grant
proposal Jill Sinclair is actually setting it up and what this will do is it will allow us funding to
implement a number of different educational programs throughout the city as well as grants
We haven t worked out all the details yet but we re thinking a rebate program for rain sensors for
irrigation systems that went in before 2002 where they might not have those It might be something as simple as leak detection kits in toilets but currently Jill s working on that grant
That deadline I believe is in the middle of March so we should have we re supposed to have
something in place vehicle in place the middle of May if we are awarded this grant so
Aanenson And the Environmental Commission has actually taken that under their for their program this year Work on the educational component so that was an issue that was certainly a
big concern that we need to be addressing and we want to show you that we ve included in the
packet the application that engineering s working on to resolve that issue and what we re doing
in house to educate our residents about water usage
Generous So that s water
McDonald Does anyone on the commission have any questions or comments Concerns
Chapter 10 Capital improvements
Generous That s the final and this is a document that actually ties together the various chapters
of the comprehensive plan It shows you to the magnitude and sort of a timing improvements
that are necessary for the community Again like I stated before one of the questions is how do
you show people what s involved in a project and so we started to we tried to amend this table
to show that as a part of this specific project we would also look at like a street project or a surface water management project or utility extension so that s one of the things we have
Annually the city adopts a 5 year capital improvement program That s the detailed document
that we ll get into the specifics on any individual project and we don t believe that as part of the
comprehensive plan that s the place to put that type of information Again this just provides you
with a general magnitude of the cost of an improvement and the approximate timing of it But the only time that we know for sure that something s funded is in the 2008 CIP which the
projects are scheduled for 2008 But we wanted to show you how the comprehensive plan
capital improvement program sort of relates to the annual CIP And so with that we re
proposing and I tried to show the revisions based on both the adoption of the 2012 CIP and
additions that were inclined as part of that So that s help you find what has changed since the first document that you saw As well as I put in the column for the associated progress With
that I would go to jurisdictional review The City has received comments or a sign of a waiver
from Eden Prairie School District 276 the City of Minnetonka and the City of Shakopee and I
believe this morning the lone watershed district also provided a sign off Again we jurisdictions
14
99
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
st adjacent to the community have until January or April 1 to submit any comments that they
have and so we ll wait to hear that So far no other discussions We think we have a pretty good plan in place and it s pretty thorough And then with that we go to the recommendation Staff is
recommending that the Planning Commission adopt the revised motion which would have
approve the recommend that City Council approve the 2030 comprehensive plan as modified
with revisions to Chapter 7 which is the transportation element to include the Dell Road
improvements as well as the write up on the Lyman Boulevard To Chapter 8 the sanitary sewer to incorporate the language regarding reasons for the changes to the MUSA phasing plan and
those were basically those 3 paragraphs in the staff report The Chapter 9 the water element to
record the incorporate additional language on water conservation and ideas that the
community has and the revisions to Chapter 10 incorporating that the revised CIP as I outlined
tonight And authorize the submittal of the plan to the Metropolitan Council for their review With that I d be happy to answer any questions
McDonald Want to ask any questions I ve got a question for you On Chapter 10 you talk
about the CIP and you say it s a 5 year plan and you really don t think that it s appropriate within
the comprehensive plan I m a little confused What is in there and why is it in the comprehensive plan if it s dealt with as part of the 5 year plan That means it will change a
couple of times before it ever gets to 2015
Generous Right and the 2030 comprehensive plan has a 10 year timeframe that we re looking
at because in 10 years again we ll have to update our comprehensive plan so it provides a general guideline that these these are the projects that we envision taking place within this timeframe
but the actual funding of those will happen within the City s 5 year capital improvement program
which they will adopt annually And it may change over time Priorities change like you said
Development may come in and it will require that we make these street improvements over here
earlier than we had originally envisioned
McDonald Let me just add to that In your draft plan that you have in front of you we have a
requirement that meets the Metropolitan Council s requirement of the comprehensive plan
What we included for you tonight is the detailed City 5 year plan grouping those things together
that are in within the 5 years We have it in there in the comprehensive plan It s not to the detail that we do when we do our comprehensive plan And what we want to show you is what
projects are linked together When we do a road project there s often storm water improvements
put with it so we try to show those linkages How those go together That s what s not in your
draft so what we gave tonight is more detail on that but we only took that to the 5 year We
didn t take it to the level of detail that s in the comprehensive plan because at a staff level we don t have that much information yet But we ve met the level of the law in the draft itself We
just want to give you more detail for the next 5 or 10 years
Larson I ve got a quick question I hate to go back to the water chapter but these drift aquifers
that they re referring to that went dry with weather changes and if we get more rain I mean are those able to be refilled and used again at some point in the future or
15
100
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Fauske We have a consultant the City s hiring a consultant to give us good direction on where
we should be putting new wells Recovery of the aquifers and at this point there s just no water that goes out so that s why we re looking to develop the two new wells
Larson Okay thanks
McDonald Do we want to discuss this as a commission or are we ready to jump right into a motion for the recommendation I mean to me it s a lot of stuff and I m glad we spread it out
over a number of months and everything but there really is a lot to try to get your arms around
A lot of detail and we ve heard a lot of comments and all those have been very helpful I think
that this has accomplished what the public has given us as far as feedback You ve reflected
some of that as you ve brought it before us You ve at least addressed the issues and comments so I hope that from that point everyone feels that we are transparent in putting this plan together
It is a community effort I think has done a marvelous job doing it for us but yeah It s a big
thing to try to figure out and I guess just kind of understand what s going on I don t have any
problems with any of it I m not trying to say that but I don t know if overwhelmed is the right
word or not either but there is definitely a lot here and it kind of gives you pause to think of what goes on as far as development I don t know if I m a little slow to want to get into this just
to kind of comprehend it but are we at a point where everyone feels comfortable with putting
together a motion and we ll go from there Or does anyone wish to discuss any further
elements Do you feel that everything we ve asked as far as questions over the past couple of
months have been addressed
Papke I guess I don t have any question Just kind of a gut reaction to the you know looking at
this whole thing you kind of it makes you kind of step back and at least attempt to see the big
picture and just going back to land use again for a second I m I kind of reading it over I feel a
little conflicted On one hand we re getting some pressure to get away from residential construction and move more towards commercial etc On the other hand we re looking to
develop the golf course into residential areas and then in the paper this morning very topical
You know here s Chanhassen on top of the pile in the whole metropolitan area in terms of you
know the least amount of degradation of our housing market here in the last couple years So
any comments on that You know just from a land use perspective I m trying to reconcile it seems sometimes like the people who are trying to develop their property there s always the
tendency to quickly react to market conditions but we re trying to look out 10 15 30 years here
and make decisions for the long term
Aanenson That s a great comment Yes it s timely We ll also be featured in the Star Tribune too about the city of Chanhassen It s you know we re in the right place at the right time
We re close to I think the paper said it We re close to jobs and creation We re creating a lot
of jobs here The biggest change if you look at what we re looking at with the comprehensive
plan We looked at the commercial You know our guiding principle what attracts what we
believe attracts people here is the balance of the environment The lakes The trees The wetland which you know we Tree City USA Those things that we care about Our parks
Our trails Top notch We ve got a concentrated downtown and we spent a lot of time as a
group reflecting on if we were to add more commercial what does that do to the downtown
We ve never had strip commercial up and down Highway 5 We don t want to have strip
16
101
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
commercial out The biggest bubble you see in the addition of commercial is if we do a regional
mall and that is a big paradigm shift and we spent a lot of time This is over a year process since we did the McCombs study to really evaluate what that does to the downtown So in looking at
that we counter balance that We didn t talk about that tonight but to add some of that other
additional commercial adjacent to downtown is why we didn t want that strip to go on this other
piece if we look at that in a vacuum We re saying there s an opportunity some vacant
buildings there to do industrial but as a whole we re still going to always be predominantly low density residential That s our predominant land use Residential and low density But that s
going to be but now we re looking at is we re maturing just a little infill and we re being really
careful and I think we spend a lot of time saying where s the appropriate place to put those to
maintain that quality of life where we have walkability transportation That we re not plugging
up those streets as we talk about as we move further south so we ve really tried to look at that carefully and really if you step back it has been a whole year process and the biggest part of it is
that commercial and that office piece and again looking at where we have a lot of office
industrial we want to move higher value Pure office which we re going to see a lot more of
those interchanges where we have the transportation to accommodate that and give us that higher
tax value as Mr Erhart s looking at his parcels so I think you know I ve been here 15 years I want to continue to make those good decisions where we end up on the you know as seen as a
good plan When I say plan that doesn t just mean planning That includes engineering parks
and rec as a well thought out city and we want to continue to do that in the future and build on
the success that we have had So I m hopeful that this plan reflects that
McDonald Well the one thing if we re looking at this that you know hats off to you for
coming up with this dual zoning approach I think that that really helps It solves a lot of
problems It does kind of put out there what we re looking for as to how we re going to develop
and I guess based upon that I think it s such a good idea I d like to see it used a little bit more
Not carte blanche for across the board but there are certain areas within the city that I think might lend itself and most of that s along the corridor of 212 just because of the way the land that s
adjacent to it and I guess that s a little bit of a hesitancy on my part that maybe we should have
included more property along that corridor to do a little bit more dual zoning I don t have a
good feel for that but that s my inclination that maybe that needs more looking at This probably
isn t the time to do it at this point but
Aanenson Sure Let me just add to that on that because I don t know if you remember we did
spend a lot of time on looking at that and we said if we could create a regional mall it s a lot of
synergy that happens in that Just like the synergy that goes with downtown and you create
traffic so what are we going to do Just like the same position we ve taken on Highway 5 We don t want strip commercial up and down Highway 5 If we re going to put a regional mall
there what are we going to do to control it to make sure that we don t have creeping things that
want to capitalize on that captured market so we said we don t want to create that commercial
core We want to have office that supports that People who go there and do those sort of things
so when we went through that commercial study that was what we spent a lot of time on and I think that s one of the successes that we ve had to try to concentrate that into the core Kind of
right now our commercial center s powers We did move some out because we said there is
some neighborhood support We call that neighborhood support commercial as opposed to the
central business district which to date has been more convenience commercial This is where I
17
102
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
do my groceries I run to the post office Do the library visit Kind of that sort of thing as
opposed to in your neighborhood where you may get gas pick up bread milk on the way home Now when we look at the regional mall and that s a larger trade area Drawing residents well
beyond our limits to the city No longer necessarily convenience but more comparison shopping
We said we want to create that energy downtown but we don t want it to be all the way up and
down Powers All the way up and down 101 We want to control it so it fits and works into our
neighborhoods which we really historically have had that strong planning perspective so we were really careful in looking at where we wanted to do that with the dual guiding for
commercial So that s where that came from When we looked at that triangle piece that s the
Laurent property That s the pure office piece there and we said you know we talked about
where else would we get gas on that southern end of the city You said there s anywhere we
want to just provide some convenience for those neighbors to say before I get on 212 or on my way out to work I want to stop and get gas We looked at we didn t say we re definitely going
to give it but there was somewhere to give it we d put it there so we did consider those sort of
things so in my opinion you know it s been a while back when we had those discussions Back
when we started with the consultant We had SRF go through those exercises with the City
Council and we gave those recommendations but I think we were careful to not kind of move away from our historical commercial values and neighborhood values What makes a nice
neighborhood
McDonald I guess you know my point is I m not trying to be a planner You know as part of
being on the Planning Commission I think what we look at we don t have the broad knowledge and experience that staff has What we try to look at is okay we have these ordinances and
zoning requirements and then we try to apply things against those and give recommendations
It s all we re giving is recommendations And I guess one of the things I m looking at is as a
planning group you know is it beneficial for us to have options as far as and maybe it s not so
much for us but it s options as far as development so that when things come in do we have enough flexibility to do things To move with the market or something That s my only
hesitancy in all this is I mean I m going to vote for this I have no problem whatsoever We re
in the process of just discussing That s one of my concerns I guess I would want to pass
forward to City Council is that I would not want to see a document that is so locked in just
because of my prior experience to know that markets drive all of this That s my concern and that s the thing that when I say yeah the dual zoning seems to open that up a little bit more for
us
Aanenson And I think you know the there s a pro and con with that The beauty of that is it
does give the property owner options It gives the city options It also lets the neighbors know it could go either way so if you do change it because of market changes you re not on that uphill
swing to try to make that change
McDonald We ve had enough of those meetings
Aanenson There s been enough of those so if that s your preference as you indicated and I
think that s very appropriate for you to say to the City Council that there may be some parcels
that you would like them to consider some dual guiding on and certainly they re going to spend
18
103
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
some time going through everything that you just went through in this kind of a summary format
too
McDonald I didn t mean to steal any of your thunder Anything else Then I guess we re
ready for someone to present a motion
Larson No no no no no
McDonald No no Okay
Larson I m just since everybody s bringing up their concerns I m looking back at our land
use We really are losing a lot of our residential Is the tax base which you re saying is so important is that so important that it offsets the need for the residential that we had originally
proposed years ago
Aanenson A lot of the residential was to clean up When we ve actually if you look at
properties that we ve extracted out They re non developable that we put in preserve For example you know Liberty at Bluff Creek We took a lot of property and we took no longer
buildable so we took that out of the mix So really a lot of what we did there is tightening
what s buildable and what s not buildable If you look at that equation I think the only other
piece that we looked at we did have some dual guiding down in that 2005 office industrial We
said we d move that so that switched that around to the the Fox Fox Family and the Dorsey property We moved the office out there and we also gave that the retail And we did look at
some additional well we took off on Mr Degler s property for example that had potential for
either park and open space so some of that s clean up from before we had some dual guiding
that we no longer want dual guiding We have better information We show that as potential
park We re not going to probably use as a park That goes back to what Bob Generous stated earlier so a log of that is clean up I don t want to say we took out a lot of residential That may
be
Larson Okay
Generous And if I may Mr Chair as part of our analysis of the ultimate build out of the
community our number still come out pretty close to what we were projecting as part of our
2020 comprehensive plan
Aanenson Correct That would be households and population so that comes back
Generous So we re still on track It s just we ve added a like she said we cleaned up a lot of
areas
Larson Okay that makes sense
Aanenson I don t want to think we just said well we re not going to do residential
Larson As I say and it is very overwhelming and I just wanted to clarify that so

Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
McDonald Okay Anyone else with anything to clarify or questions comments Then someone wants to present a motion we ll go with that Vote on it
Undestad Alright I ll make a motion That the Planning Commission recommends the City
Council approve the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as modified with revisions to Chapter 7
Transportation to designate Dell Road from Highway 5 north to the city limit as a major collector and Dell Road from Highway 5 south to the city limit as a B Minor Arterial and the
minor collector narrative shall include Lyman Boulevard east of Highway 101 to the east city
limits Sanitary sewer Chapter 8 to incorporate language regarding the reason for the changes to
the MUSA phasing plan Chapter 9 Water to incorporate additional language on water
conservation and Capital Improvements Chapter 10 incorporating the revised CIP Table and authorize submittal of the plan to the Metropolitan Council for review
McDonald Do I have a second
Larson Second
Undestad moved Larson seconded that the Planning Commission recommends the City
Council approve the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as modified with revisions to Chapter 7
Transportation to designate Dell Road from Highway 5 north to the city limit as a major
collector and Dell Road from Highway 5 south to the city limit as a B Minor Arterial and the minor collector narrative shall include Lyman Boulevard east of Highway 101 to the
east city limits Sanitary sewer Chapter 8 to incorporate language regarding the reason for
the changes to the MUSA phasing plan Chapter 9 Water to incorporate additional
language on water conservation and Capital Improvements Chapter 10 incorporating
the revised CIP Table and authorize submittal of the plan to the Metropolitan Council for review All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0
McDonald And again my hats is off to staff I think you all have done a marvelous job from
my perspective on the commission here of putting this together and I know you put a lot of time
into it and for that I want to say thank you And I m sure the residents of the community would also second that

Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Terry Jeffery introduced himself to the commission as the new Water Resources
Coordinator before presenting the staff report on this item along with Diane Spencer from Wenek Associates who reviewed the specifics of the report
McDonald Well thank you That was interesting
Papke Question What enforcement authority does the MPCA have here I mean if they don t like what we have do they come throw Terry in jail or what
Diane Spencer The enforcement authority is that this is part of your NPDES permit and the
City is required by law to have an approved NPDES permit So presumably until such time as
they approve this your NPDES permit would not necessarily be out of compliance but it would be conditional And the other kind of sticks that are out there would be for example your
comprehensive plan is that the MPCA may comment on your comprehensive plan proposal that
well you haven t completed your
Papke So they hold us hostage
Diane Spencer Yeah your nondegradation assessment satisfactorily yet
Larson Hostage to what I mean what s the punishment You know I mean if we don t
comply what do they throw Terry in jail
Diane Spencer civil side and that is that I m not aware of well let me back up and say that
the whole reason for the nondegradation assessments is that this an outcome of a citizen lawsuit
with the MPCA where the NCEA successfully litigated a case against the MPCA that the MPCA
was not adequately enforcing that nondegradation language within statutes and the Court ordered the MPCA to establish this nondegradation requirement and force the Dirty 30 to go through this
assessment
McDonald Well I guess the thing is you put together a report what seems to be missing is well
we ve had developers come in here and make a number of suggestions to us about things to do which I think addresses some of your issues about the first half inch and the first inch What s
the impact to us I mean you know are we going to start coming up with the plans or is there
studies afoot to do things about this I mean we already put in a every development we figured
out a land use or a land mass and we say you ve got to have a retaining pond It s got to be so
deep It s got to meet all these qualifications We do all that We go around We make sure that these ponds don t fill up to a point where at a big rain event they re swamped out sooner than
what they are I mean it s nice to put a plan together and you re right it will keep you employed
and I m sure your family is very happy for that but I don t understand what are we doing I
mean we re already doing it Why do we need this plan And maybe it s the lawsuit
Jeffery Mr Chair we re actually seeing these issues in other things It isn t that these are
unique to just these areas I mean the reason we have issues down at Bluff Creek is because
we re flashing a large volume of water down there that it cannot take and if that water were to
be kept on site it would not be going down the Bluff Creek and we would not have the level
21
106
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
of speak to it we re seeing all those levels in areas lakes that are attributed to the volume that
so these aren t just isolated to this area I mean they affect downstream issues that the city has obtained for in the long run anyway I mean if you look at the bar proposal that was put together
to address all of Bluff Creek s issues I mean you re talking what was that 4 8 million project
There s a cost and that cost has got to be absorbed somewhere
McDonald Well I agree with all of that and what you say is true but what I m having a problem with and what do we have here is what s the impact I mean what do we have to do that s
different than what we re not already doing
Papke Maybe one specific example okay We re supposed to plant more trees So how are we
going to make that happen Are you going to Kate you know every proposal that comes in are you going to add 10 more trees to what people are supposed to
Jeffery Currently right now we re trying to look away from Mr Chair excuse me To look
away from regulatory mechanisms in those cases I mean like I mentioned earlier we already
have that reforestation plan in place and we already have the coupon at Arbor Day Perhaps we re not reaching as many people as we can with that or perhaps we can come up with some
other type of incentive to doing those things I mean right now if you look through page 38 on
this a lot of what we re looking at for regulatory type programs are the City will evaluate what
options are out there It might be something like coming back to developers with a suite of
options that you could put in place and some cities have done what they call curb number reduction where they will look at the overall curb numbers would be how much water runs off
so you might have 100 curb number which would be completely impervious All the water
runs off the site and we re done so it may be something where if you put in these features you
can reduce the curb down here or reduce the amount of treatment you need to do on site So the
motivation is that this can be done in ways that might not necessarily be regulatory but right now all we re really proposing is our slip modifications be that the city looks at these issues and
comes up with a way that is palatable and consistent with what we currently have in place and
with Best Management Practices that are accepted out there and come forward with that
McDonald Okay I don t mean to keep beating this to death because I know we probably don t have much choice in the whole matter but the thing is you re looking at an area that is already
developed I mean you talk about taking us back to 1988 That s ridiculous In 1988 I lived
here Most of this was farmland Of course it s changed We ve developed We have more
runoff We ve addressed the issues We have problems in certain areas with runoff and we ve
tried to do everything with the storm water ponding and everything How are you going to go back and retrofit anything to there That s where the majority of the damage is being done in all
of this Yes with new development I would agree You can put some new things in I m sure
there ll be some new ordinances and everything but the net effect of this is the damage is already
done It s out there You re not going to go out to some of these other developments and put in
swales It s too late That s part of the initial development Maybe there are other things but we re trying everything we possibly can to address issues of water runoff because that is the
number one thing that a consumer or a homeowner has come up here and complained about is
the fact that water ran off my neighbor s property and flooded my basement and they re very
concerned about that What more can we do I mean this is nice but this is where I get into the
22
107
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
thing of you know we re wasting taxpayers money I mean you know yes There s a problem
We re trying to address it Show me something new here I guess that s what I m asking for is some me something new Yeah a new development but as we just went through the comp plan
tonight there s not going to be that much more new development in this city
Jeffery Yeah you know your point is taken I mean in these areas how do we go back and
address and especially as we talked earlier I mean surface water management plans is intended to address water quantity and water quality issues You know I can t speak to the MPCA s or
the EPA is actually where this all came from them but it is a vehicle for us to look at those
areas that are developed and we can t you re right We can t go in there and say you know
what your house but we do at the same time need to look at these areas and when something
occurs in that area we ll see if it s possible to take it back
McDonald Let me give you an example of something that s very immediate that I would love to
see you know given some options for City Council to deal with There s a new development that
Lundgren did was that it s not Vasserman Ridge is it Yeah people are coming in here now
and they re wanting to do things as far as terracing Well we have a problem there because of the lot sizes and all this was well discussed before these developments were ever laid out But
those lots impact the water the surface water within that entire community Come back with
something there to show how are we going to mitigate that That s what City Council needs is
and this report s nice and we can go through the numbers and everything but what are we going
to do about these problems I mean I guess if you re looking at us to recommend something that this is a vehicle to get up to council that s what we need and that area s a prime example
because of what people want to do They can t do it because we ve told them it will impact
surface water runoff and it creates a big problem and that s where one of these developers came
through and you know gave us a bunch of ideas it probably isn t going to work because of soil
conditions and things like that but that s the kind of stuff I think we need That s what I would like to see come out of this That s what s got to go forward as far as council so that they can
make ordinances based upon some of that
Aanenson Correct and that s what where we re going just to make sure that this what we re
saying here is that we re going to come back with that program Just kind of like with the comp plan so what we re saying these are our visions This is where we re going We re going to
come back with that Create that menu Whether it s when we do a street project we put curbs
in as a way to control the water So that s what this plan is stating that we re going to come back
with those specific tactics to implement those
McDonald And I guess what I m expressing is the frustration of a lot of homeowners that say
another plan Where s the meat That s what we need to start getting at is where s the meat to
protect people s property And another plan such as this it s nice You did a great job You
know all that but okay if the real intent is to have some kind of change and effect something
where s the plan And we have prime examples right here that are crying out for a solution The next big rainfall for that area we re going to have a big problem because the last event those
homes weren t there Now they re there
23
108
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Diane Spencer Mr Chair if I could if you recall the purpose of the nondegradation assessment
it s a very limited and it s a very prescribed type of study It s only purpose is to identify what the changes in nutrient loading the storm water volume have been and can be expected to be
And determine what kind of impact your existing BMP s have and what this has done has
demonstrated that what you re doing already for pollutant loading is on a macro level is
adequate It s doing what it should be doing by not increasing that pollutant loadings since 1988
It identifies that storm water ponding is an issue and you need to do something to address storm water volume for a number of reasons Again that the vehicle for doing that is through amending
your storm water pollution prevention program is identifying the process for saying how do we
now go through on a more minute level put together that tool box that developers can use that
we can then say to developers here s what you do So all this is doing is saying do we have a
problem or not Yes in some areas No in other areas
McDonald Well what I m saying is my recommendation government has a very good track
record of establishing numbers There s 1988 Suddenly we don t mention that We re talking
about eh so what What are they going to do Put up dams around the city and all the water
stays in here We re going to have to drink it or something That s not going to happen The permits I don t understand the whole mechanism of that about having to get that If that
impacts our water treatment or something but the thing is okay What are we going to do
What s the plans You know what s the details We ve got to get to the details because we ve
been talking about this for as long as I ve been on the Planning Commission which is a couple
of years now and again that s what we need are the details of how we re going to address these issues You know and I think that s the bottom line of the what the State really wants is just I
don t think they know how to ask for it
Aanenson Mr Chair this is a public hearing so you may want to
McDonald Okay if we re all done asking questions then
Larson No I have one more I m so sorry You were talking about the reforestation I ve lived
here since 1985 and when I first moved out here none of this was here It was all farmland and
grazing land and everything else and just between City Hall and where I live which is a mile and a half up the road the forestation has 10 fold from what it was when I first moved out here
because it was all graded before When you re talking about reforestation I take that as a forest
that was knocked down and now we re putting it back No Then what is the reforestation
mean
Jeffery Well reforestation means
Larson Well I m not quite finished When you re adding trees I mean Chanhassen has a lot
more trees than I remember back in those days and so I guess I m thinking that you know like
Diane said it s been beneficial that we ve had development but now we re talking you know a regional mall We re talking big box and things like that I mean how s all that going to affect
what you re talking about I mean it s not just the citizens problem It s all this other stuff too
and I don t want that to get lost in the shuffle here you know We re trying to make it and point
24
109
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
to the citizens that want to live here but it s more than that It s on quite a grander scale than
that
Jeffery Mr Chair to your point One of the things I tried to point out in the hearing and
perhaps say it This city has done a great job There are a number of things that are already in
place but I think so reforestation I mean we can go back and say okay and in 1896 it was big
woods forest so I mean it s just a term that s used Reforestation planting of trees in an area that was native to big woods back then
Larson So was this native to big woods I don t know
Jeffery Yeah
Larson Okay
Jeffery This whole area prior to being settled would have been a big woods area
Larson So we can blame our grandparents
Jeffery Yeah I mean it s just
Larson Darn farmers
Jeffery To the other point as we look at big box areas what and I guess that s kind of what I
wanted to speak to We have two choices We can be reactionary We have issues in and try
and solve those problems or in other cases we might have the opportunity to be proactive by
knowing what we have Many of your what you re talking about we will address through the SWMP plan and I ve been Todd Gerhardt myself have been talking about putting together those
projects again and getting before the council about what is it that we re doing What s on our
plate right now and where do we go from there so that s the vehicle that we ll look at through
those projects This is just and I know I understand your frustration Great we ve got another
study But at the same time it is another tool that we have to understand which watersheds
McDonald Okay Well I want to welcome you to the city staff and you know I think we ve
been very nice to you compared to what will happen at the next water event but just kind of keep
that in mind that we do love you and you know we really don t mean any harm but yeah this is
a very touchy issue
Jeffery Well it is your city I mean
McDonald Well it s your city now too Okay At this point if there s no other comments
questions concerns then we ll throw it open to the public for comment from anyone wishing to come forward and address the commission And I thank you for your patience in waiting I
know that
Steve Donen It s been a long night
25
110
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
McDonald It s been a long night but I think well worth it
Steve Donen My name is Steve Donen I live at 7341 Frontier Trail and I happen to be a
member on the citizen advisory committee Your question is a good one Very appropriate
What do you do We ve got some good ordinances We ve got some good rules that are
listed basin here basin there and a basin here solutions are a whole different world than where we ve been They re around half inch one inch infiltrated into the ground Can t happen
everywhere Can happen a whole bunch of places Okay So the answer to your question Jerry
is we ve got to we ve got to work on infiltration And there s fancy words in your thing
Extraction and all those fancy words and the thing to talk about that really is getting the ground
water back into the ground where it used to go before we built all the impervious surface okay That s where it s got to go Back in the ground Okay How do we do that There are some
challenges okay Big challenges in doing it Now for this plan 1988 works really good for
places that aren t developed We can put in infiltration rules and we can put in more ponds and
we can control those and I would hope through ordinances and other regulations that we would
implement that we can get those done so that these lakes that are currently undeveloped don t become in the future Okay What happens on Lotus Lake Lotus Lake gets 5 inches of rain
It goes up 17 inches Docks are rolling around Becomes unsafe Shorelines are getting
destroyed All kinds of bad things are happening Well beyond well beyond the issue of the
phosphorous Now Lotus Lake has too much phosphorous too okay because in 1988 it already
had too much phosphorous Okay so we have to do more okay I wanted to read just quickly a little comment This is actually in the if you remember this is actually in your web site for this
whole amount I wanted to point this out this line for you guys and that is is that the line that
says down bring it down to right about here You want to zoom it in Anyways it gives a
little why we re here and it says data collected from this assessment is can be used to identify
changes and revisions to the BMP s within the existing storm water management plan to ring true to 1988 or better conditions for each parameter We don t have to stay at 1988 okay We
have the opportunity to ask our city staff let s do better Okay What does it take to do better
which was a great question What does it take It really takes infiltration It s a big deal Now
the question becomes your immediate question is how do I get there How do I do infiltration
in developed areas right Because undeveloped areas you put ordinances in and you can control the development We can make sure that it infiltrates the first inch to half inch of rain right
Pretty easy to do Not easy but everybody will scream and yell it s going to cost you more
money but I can guarantee you in the long run infiltration techniques are a whole lot easier and
cheaper in the long run than cleaning out basements every 10 years Spending thousands of
dollars hundreds of thousand of dollars on cleaning all these basements that we put in that fill up with all this stuff okay You put in 3 basements or 100 little infiltration things The infiltration
items don t require a lot of work okay There s nice little garden you saw some pictures of
some of them right So infiltration is the trick and you re going to hear hopefully by the end of
the day you ll be sick of hearing it With all that so we really do I mean me personally I think
the plan is well done I thank you for the presentation It was excellent It is well done They pointed out what the issues are and they are what they are As I pointed out in my letters today
you guys saw a few of them today for us on Lotus Lake and some of the developed lakes are
it s not enough Okay Now I do come here as part of this advisory committee for the
watershed and I ask you guys a couple things tonight One is I would think that putting in
26
111
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
regulations to help put this stuff on the future development is a good deal Redevelopment s the
right thing to do Charge your staff Go tell them what I need to do to help make this happen in the future to get better Charge them with it which you just did tonight which I thought was
excellent Okay Along with all that though I also come to you with a proposal How can we
make an example how do we come up with a plan or an example of how we really do improve
thing in a developed area How do we do it Okay Our watershed district has chosen for
various reasons Lotus Lake to prove that we can actually improve and reduce and improve the quality of the watershed in a developed area How they going to do it They re going to use
they re going to come into our watershed and they re going to use some very very advance
modeling techniques Very very advanced ideas and thoughts Maybe even some out of the box
thoughts Say how are we going to go affect the watershed of Lotus Lake Okay And you re
going to see this They have approximately 10 million set aside in their 10 year plan to fix Lotus Lake which will answer your question how do we do it how have they been thinking
about doing it 5 000 rain gardens maybe Okay Street modifications Ways of infiltrating the
ground So I ask you tonight one of my things I hear I agree with the plan I think it points out
whatever you want it to do I think we have an opportunity with an organization to work with
the watershed on Lotus Lake and prove to the rest of the world who doubts it can be done that we can do it so I m asking you all when you hear about this thing over the next year or two as
they re finalizing their 10 year plan You say you know what we support that because we want
to learn how to do this and we re going to work with the watershed to learn how to do it and do it
well So I m giving you an opportunity the watershed has the funds They want to spend the
resources to do it and we need you guys as a city to help us make it happen Okay That s what I have for tonight and Mary Borns is here I can give her speech too She said here read this
Mary Borns is here to present some other things She said let s do it right the first time We ll
spend a lot more money fixing Lotus Lake than we would have had we know been smarter about
it you know 50 years ago Just a comment Mary would make Okay
McDonald Okay thank you very much
Steve Donen Thank you
McDonald Does anyone else wish to come up and address the commissioners Well in that case I close the public hearing on this issue and I bring it back up before the commissioners for
any final thoughts and comments before we move forward with anything Kurt let s start with
you
Papke No comment
Thomas No I think I made mine thanks
Larson Yeah no comment
McDonald Okay I think the commission said everything about this Again it s a very good
report and I do appreciate you bringing this up for us and you re right it does address things that
we should be aware of Having said all of that I m not ready for anyone wishing to make a
motion going forward

McDonald Any questions of staff
Larson Yes
McDonald Debbie
Larson Why do you want them to redirect the walkway to Galpin Boulevard and not through
the trees Wouldn t that make a prettier walk Or are they too tight
Generous Jill s answer to that was by going into that you impact the tree system and you have a
tendency because they have to take Bobcats and stuff in that you destroy what you re trying to preserve
Aanenson You have to grade it level
Larson To put a walk back there
Generous Yeah
Aanenson Yeah put a sidewalk Yeah to meet ADA
28
113
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Larson Gotch ya Okay
McDonald Alright Any other questions
Papke Yeah This is going to be a very highly visible From Lyman this is going to be kind of
the corner stone of that area The drawings it was hard to tell from the drawings It s easy to tell what the building is going to look like but it was hard to tell what the site is going to look
like after the landscaping and trees and everything go in Any idea of how much of the building
the trees are going to
Aanenson Perspective from highway
Papke Yeah from Galpin and from Lyman
Generous Not the trees per se It should be fairly visible if you look at the landscaping plan
Papke Yeah it didn t look like there was going to be a tremendous amount of landscaping
that s going to be added in the front of the building
Generous It s mostly on the Galpin side that they ll have the screening because of the existing
concentration of preserved trees that they re going to have to need to do
Papke How about berming Is there
Generous No they re not berming The site actually goes down and so the Well it s 958 in
this corner and it s finished floor elevation of 961 so it s 3 feet up from this the southeast However you re down at 65 66 About 968 at the Galpin intersection so you re down 7 feet
to the finished grade so you re looking from the north you re looking down into the site From
the south you re looking up On the south side the corner like I said will be mostly open on the
landscaping plan They have incorporated the rain gardens too as part of their surface water
system
Papke Where are the existing trees on that
Generous They re grouped right in this area so they go in and out and so they ll all most of
the new plantings heavy concentration there This will be more open on the south side
Papke Yeah it looks like the parking lot comes pretty close to the right of way on the south
side
Generous Yeah it meets it s at the 20 foot when you get over to the west end
Papke Okay Well I guess the good news is it s a good looking building but it is it does seem
like it s going to be extremely visible
29
114
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
Aanenson We did make modifications from when it first came in We did ask for some
additional articulation Some window treatments That concern It is a highly visible building
Generous Yeah all these upper level windows were something that we added base around the
windows and then the expansion of these stone material
Aanenson Those are all the changes from the first
Generous And plus you know they incorporated these arches over the the bigger windows to
add the emphasis that provides the interest to the building
McDonald Is there actually a second story up there with those windows
Generous No
McDonald Or is that just a really high ceiling
Generous Yes It s a high roof
Aanenson And again we wanted to give it that look a more office on two stories as opposed to
a larger warehouse
Larson So would they just be real windows or are they just faade treatments
McDonald Okay no further questions This is a public meeting so I would ask if there s
anyone out there that wishes to make comment please come up to the podium and address the
commissioners with your comments
Applicant I m just here for questions
McDonald Oh okay Well in that case seeing no one come up I will close the public meeting
and I ll bring it back up for the commissioners for any final thoughts or comments Kathleen
Thomas I don t really have any comments It is visible but I think like that s they ve done a
good job at kind of making it acceptable for being on the corner so and being so visible so I m
okay with it
McDonald Debbie
Larson Nothing
McDonald Kurt
Papke I have no concerns I think it s a very attractively designed building and it will finish off
that development quite nicely It would have been nice to have a few more trees there on the
corner but for what they re trying to cram in there I can see why they re doing what they re
30
115
Planning Commission Meeting January 15 2008
doing They re certainly following all the city codes and so on They re not breaking any rules
so I can t fault them for what they re doing there so I m fine with it
McDonald Okay Then in that case does anyone wish to make a motion for recommendation
Thomas Sure I d like to make a motion the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends
that the City Council approve Planning Case 07 27 approving a site plan for a 50 000 square foot one story office warehouse building plans prepared by Houwman Architects dated
November 6 2007 subject to the following conditions Conditions 1 through 31 with the
removal of condition 32
McDonald Okay Do I have a second
Larson I ll second that
Thomas moved Larson seconded that the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council approves Planning Case 07 27 approving a site plan for a 50 000 square foot one story office warehouse building plans prepared by Houwman Architects dated November
06 2007 subject to the following conditions
1 The building is required to have an automatic fire extinguishing system
2 The plans must be prepared and signed by design professionals licensed in the State of
Minnesota
3 The plan must be revised to meet the 50 foot setback from the property line on Galpin
Boulevard to the parking lot
4 Site lighting shall be revised to incorporate high pressure sodium vapor lamps
5 Architectural lighting shall be down cast only
6 Two upper level windows shall be added on the west end of the south building elevation
7 A column shall be added in the middle of the north building elevation

MEMORANDUM
TO Todd Gerhardt City Manager
FROM Paul Oehme Dir of Public Works City Engineer 0
February 11 2008 OVA
Well No 13 Project No 08 05 Approve Vacant Land Purchase
Agreement for Chanhassen Estates Park and Well No 13
Improvements
DATE
SUBJ
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve Vacant Land Purchase Agreement
BACKGROUND
In October 2007 Council authorized staff to begin preparation of plans for Well
Nos 12 and 13
On November 13 2007 staff held a neighborhood meeting for surrounding
property owners to learn about the project
On December 10 2007 Council approved the plans and specifications and
authorized Advertisement for Bids for the wells
On January 14 2008 Council approved a construction contract for drilling Well
Nos 12 13
DISCUSSION
Staff is requesting the Council approve the purchase of a strip of land adjacent to
Chanhassen Estates Park and Lake Drive E Currently Chanhassen Estates Park
is mostly land locked by private property The City does own a 25 small strip of
property on the northeast comer of the park however this property is encumbered
by aboveground electrical transformers and other private utility pedestals This
strip of property also has a trunk storm sewer and sanitary sewer pipe buried in
the property The City owned property is a poor access for construction and for
future maintenance of the well The lack of City owned property along Lake
Drive E also will make the raw watermain installation for the well more
expensive and will cause the raw watermain to have a poor hydraulic alignment
Park maintenance uses the City owned property for maintenance access but the
park does not have a public access such as a parking lot or trail The Parks
The City 01 Chanhassen A growing community with clean lakes quality schools a chamning downtown thriving businesses winding trails and beautiful parks A great place to live work and play 121
Todd Gerhardt

Department is planning to construct a small parking lot in the future with access

recommended for purchase This piece of property will be used as a corridor for
the future alignment of the raw watermain The total acreage proposed to be
purchased is 12 377 sJ The appraised value of the property was between 2 00
and 2 80 sJ The purchase price is for 29 019
Funding for the project is recommended from both the Parks Department Park
Dedication Fund and the project budget for Well No 13 improvements Water
Utility Fund Funding is proposed as follows 7 500 from the Parks Dedication
Fund and 21 519 from the Water Utility Fund
Staff recommends approval of the purchase agreement

Price Per SF 7 55 per SF 8 43 per SF 7 18 per SF
Conclusion Sales above range from 7 18 to 8 43 per SF with an average of 7 72
Therefore given the above information and considering the overall characteristics of the
subject property view traffic and market a value of 8 00 is deemed appropriate Typical
side yard value is about 50 or 4 00 per SF allowing for limited appeal for busy road for
residential use the contributory value of the western portion is estimated to be about 50 of
side yard value or 2 00 per SF The eastern area adjoining the park is considered to have
better appeal more utility for front portion of park use therefore the estimated value is 35
or 2 80 per SF
The Sales Comparison Approach is deemed a reliable indicator of value because it
represents the actions of buyers and sellers in the area for competing properties The
derived market value estimate for the overall subject site is calculated as follows
Western Portion Area

intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Galpin Boulevard CCSAR 19 The
property owners have been made aware of the project and that an offer for the
properties will be forthcoming In the event that a reasonable offer cannot be
negotiated a condemnation proceeding may be necessary Staff would like to
avoid this option if at all possible but the City should keep all options open
Condemnation proceedings take approximately four months to complete To keep
the project on schedule these proceedings need to start soon Also MnDOT may
not allow for this project to be bid until all the necessary properties are acquired
since state aid funds are involved

office warehouse building
ACTION REQUIRED
City Council approval requires a majority of City Council present
PLANNING COMMISSION SUMMARY
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 15 2008 to review the
proposed development The Planning Commission voted unanimously four for and
none against a motion recommending approval of the site plan The Planning
Commission minutes are item la of the February 11 2008 City Council agenda
The only area of discussion regarding the project was the visibility of the building

This site is going to be highly visible It did not look like there was going to be a
tremendous amount of landscaping added in the front of the building The
applicant meets minimum requirements for trees in the buffer yard plantings
along the south and east property lines but falls short on shrub quantities Staff
recommended that shrub quantities be increased to meet minimum requirements
However the Planning Commission did state that it is a very attractively
designed building and it will finish off that development quite nicely
RECOMMENDA TION

specified on pages 11 13 in the staff report dated January 15 2008 approving the
site plan for a 50 000 square foot office warehouse building

Sheet CI Grading and Erosion Control Plan should be amended as follows
1 Inlet protections shall be called out on all existing structures In particular the existing
CBMH located at the approximate centerline of the eastern property boundary for Lot 2
Block 2
2 Erosion control blanket in the northeast comer of the project should be extended to cover all
area up to that point where the proposed grades match the existing grades
3 Rain garden areas should be constructed last and those areas need to be protected during
construction of the remainder of the site to prevent heavy machinery travel across these areas
and the stockpiling of soils and other materials
4 Perimeter controls shall be placed around the rain garden features until the area tributaries to
the rain gardens are stabilized
5 Rain gardens should be situated in relation to the curb cuts such that stormwater inputs must
travel through a vegetated swale prior to entering the rain gardens This will reduce sediment
entering the rain garden which could diminish the infiltration of the rain garden This swale
could be maintained as turf grass
Sheet LI Landscape Plan should be amended as follows
1 Calculations should be performed and provided to show that the rain gardens will drain
within 48 hours and will not bounce more than one foot
2 A pre treatment filter strip or vegetated swale should be included between the curb cut and
rain garden feature which is adequate to remove sediment from the runoff to prevent
sediment deposition within the rain garden which diminishes infiltration rates within the
surface of the rain garden
3 An emergency overflow should be provided for the rain water gardens The creation of a
swale between the two gardens is strongly encouraged
4 It should be noted that woody vegetation is acceptable within rain water gardens
5 Erosion control blanket should not be placed over the infiltration surface ofthe rainwater
garden
6 Shredded mulch should be placed within the rain water garden
Refer to Wisconsin DNR Bioretention Design The Metropolitan Councils Minnesota Urban
Small Sites BMP Manual or the Low Impact Development Design Strategies from the Prince
George s County Maryland Department of Environmental Resources for additional information
regarding design considerations
RETAINING WALLS
The plan identifies a retaining wall at the southwest comer of the building The top and bottom
of wall elevations is not shown on the plans Staff estimates the maximum height of the wall to
be approximately three feet
Retaining walls four feet high or higher require a building permit and must be designed by an
engineer registered in the State of Minnesota

UTILITIES
Lateral sanitary sewer and watermain were installed within Galpin Court in conjunction with the
Chanhassen West Business Park development One eight inch diameter watermain and one six
inch diameter sanitary sewer stub were installed to the property The sanitary sewer will be
extended to the north side ofthe building Eight inch watermain must be looped around the
building and connect to the existing eight inch stub on the property to the west This watermain
shall be privately owned and maintained
Sanitary sewer and water hookup for this site were previously assessed and paid
STREETS AND ACCESS
Galpin Court was constructed with the Chanhassen West Business Park development The
proposed building will access Galpin Court at the joint driveway with the property to the west
A cross access agreement must be dedicated and a copy provided to the City before the building
permit is issued
PARKS DEDICATION FEE
A portion of the park dedication fee for this property was collected with the development
contract The remaining balance of this fee is 40 770 46 and must be paid with the building
permit
WETLANDS
A review of available data including the Chanhassen SWMP NWI and aerial photography does
not indicate the presence of any wetlands on or immediately adjacent to the subject property
Further the topography ofthe area and the moderately well drained soils is such that the area
would not typically support wetland characteristics Based upon review of remote sensing
materials and a site visit no wetlands exist on or adjacent to the property
LAKES
The proposed project does not lie within 1 000 feet ofthe ordinary high water level OHW of
any public waters and therefore is not within a shoreland district
OTHER AGENCIES
The applicant shall apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies and
comply with their conditions of approval Included within the agency comments are the
following
Carver County Watershed Management Organization Pond Filtration Shelf
It appears that the pond shelf is not functioning This was communicated in emai s in July and

SUBJ MS 4 Nondegradation SWMP 15B Approve Distribution of Plan
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that the Nondegradation Assessment be submitted to the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in compliance with the NPDES Phase II
permit as revised June 1 2006 A public hearing was held at the January 15 2008
Planning Commission The City of Chanhassen was required to submit the
non degradation Plan to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in compliance
with the NPDES Phase II permit as revised June 1 2006 by February 1 2008
Staff has communicated with the MPCA a request to extend the deadline to
February 12 2008 This extension was granted
ACTION REQUIRED
A simple majority vote of City Council present
BACKGROUND
In June of 2006 the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency PCA issuedPermit
No MNR040000 General Permit Authorization to DischargeStormwater
Associated with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems MS4 Among other
items this permit identified 30 select cities which are required to develop a
Nondegradation Assessment and Implementation Plan within a certain time
frame These communities are referred to as Selected MS4s The selection of
these communities was based upon population growth experienced or projected to
be experienced for three time frames 1990 to 2000 from 2000 to 2003 and from
2000 to 2020 The City of Chanhassen is required to submit theirnondegradation
assessment plan within 20 months February 1 2008 from the dateofissuance of
the above referenced permit The City h as requested an extension of the
submittal date to February 12 2008 to allow for coordination with scheduled City
meetings

Nondegradation Plan was presented to the Planning Commission on January 15
2008 and public comment was received at this time
Copies of the Nondegradation Plan have been sent to Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
Watershed District Lower MN River Watershed District Carver County
Watershed Management Organization Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and
the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services on December 15 2007 The
Plan has also been made available on the City s website and printed copies are
available at City Hall
Written comments have been received from the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services the Lower MN River Watershed District and seven
Chanhassen Residents These comments have been included for your review and
consideration Staff and a representative from Wenck will be making a short
presentation on the assessment findings and subsequent timeline of events
NONDEGRADA TION REQUIREMENTS
The selected MS4s are required to assess changes in base loading of three
parameters to their waters from 1988 loading levels These three parameters are
total stormwater volume total suspended solids TSS and total phosphorus TP
If new or expanded discharges are found to exist or to be likely to exist the City
of Chanhassen must develop a nondegradation plan which will need to be
developed and submitted to the PCA identifying what reasonable and practical
best management practices BMPs the City will implement to reduce these
discharges to the 1988 levels These BMPs will be incorporated as revisions to
the existing Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan SWPPP for the City of
Chanhassen
SUMMARY OF NONDEGRADA TION FINDINGS
The City of Chanhassen has already implemented a number of policies and
practices which have aided in the reduction of pollutant loading to area waters
These include street sweeping reforestation measures tree preservation planning
tools such as density transfer and the Bluff Creek Overlay District and others As
a result the City is projected to meet nondegradation requirements for total
phosphorus and total suspended solids for the City as a whole However there
are individual watersheds which will not meet nondegradation requirements for
TSS and TP These areas include Lake Ann which has experienced minimal
development to date but based upon proposed land uses through 2020 will
undergo land use changes which will affect the loading of Lake Ann The Riley
Purgatory and Bluff Creek Watersheds will also not meet nondegradation
requirements This is not inconsistent with the fact that many of these waters are
listed as impaired by the PCA The PCA has yet to determine if the assessments
will be applied on a citywide basis or on a per watershed basis

The City will not meet the nondegradation requirements for total stormwater
volume As areas within Chanhassen are converted to an urbanized land use the
amount of impervious surface increases and there is a net reduction in native
vegetation Vegetation acts to intercept rainfall before it reaches the ground and
becomes runoff This process is referred to as abstraction Additional
construction activities compact the soils and this soil compaction decreases the
ability of water to seep or infiltrate into the soil and increases the amount of
stormwater that runs off the site This overall increase in impervious surface and
decrease in native vegetation results in an increase in total runoff volume
Impacts from this increase in runoff are evidenced by the accelerated erosion
within Bluff Creek and the bouncing fluctuation of lake levels within
Chanhassen Lakes
IMPLICA TIONS FOR CHANHASSEN
The City is required to submit a Nondegradation Plan to the MPCA by February
1 2008 extended to February 12 2008 per subsequent agreement Prior to
submittal to the PCA the City is required to publicly notice the proposed SWPPP
revisions as related to the Nondegradation Report and Implementation Plan and
the Nondegradation Report and Implementation Plan must be made available to
the public and to local water authorities including the Lower Minnesota River
Watershed District the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the Carver County Watershed
Management Organization
By permit directive the City must consider alternatives explain which
alternatives have been studied but rejected and why and propose alternatives that
are reasonable and practical The report must give high priority to BMPs best
management practices that address impacts of future growth such as ordinances
for new development This language recognizes the difficulties with retrofitting
storm water management techniques into developed areas and that changes are
better suited to new development where land use constraints aren t as pronounced
Upon approval of the Nondegradation Plan by the PCA the City will need to
begin revising their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan SWPPP to
incorporate changes in practice policy and education necessary to bring those
areas which will not meet nondegradation requirements to a level consistent with
1988 loading The staff will continue to work with local water authorities City
Council and Planning Commission to determine how to best achieve the desired
outcomes
The proposed SWPPP revisions within the Nondegradation Plan direct the City to
begin the due diligence necessary to determine which if any code changes are
necessary what existing practices can be incorporated into the SWPPP what
additions or revisions to educational programming are needed and what
partnership opportunities are available and what changes to street pond and
g eng terry npdes phase ii nondeg 0211 08 app dist of plan doc 197
Paul Oehme
MS 4 Nondegradation Approve Distribution of Plan

Page 4
structural BMP maintenance and operations are needed The revised NPDES
permit and SWPPP will then be provided to the agencies for their review
At this time no specific changes are proposed to the SWPPP other than the City
begins evaluating alternatives on their merits and incorporate those accepted
changes at a later date The City of Chanhassen already has a number of practices
and planning tools in place which can be incorporated into the SWPPP with
minimal revision As an example these tools include the City s Tree Preservation
Plan the Arbor Day Event the Bluff Creek Overlay District and density transfer
Staff has begun researching the changes to policy practice and education
incorporated by other Cities and Local Water Authorities and will apprise the
Council of their findings at future meetings
RECOMMENDA TION
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorizes the distribution of the
Nondegradation Assessment Plan on February 12 2008 to the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency per NPDES Phase II requirements

Executive Summary
This study is completed in response to the Nondegradation Assessment requirement of the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as part of the City s National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System NPDES Phase II permit The purpose of this study is to assess changes in
storm water runoff volume total suspended solids TSS and total phosphorus TP loading in the
City of Chanhassen since 1988 and to predict how land change expected to occur between now
and 2020 would impact those parameters This analysis is to be used to identify Best
Management Practices to be undertaken to return to 1988 or better conditions
A key component of this analysis is an assessment of the change in impervious surface due to
land use change The percent impervious area varies in the City with most subwatersheds
between 20 and 35 percent impervious

This analysis estimated the pollutant loads and stormwater volumes for three key years 1990 a
proxy for 1988 2000 and 2020 Much of the land use change in Chanhassen since 1988
occurred under regulation to protect water quality Additionally the City currently undertakes
Best Management Practices BMPs to improve water quality The pollutant load and volume
reductions associated with those BMPs were estimated to determine the net impact to stormwater

For the period 1990 2020 this study estimates the City will remove about 400 000 more pounds
ofTSS than created since 1988 and 1 880 pounds more TP than created For these two
parameters the City meets the MPCA requirement of no net increase in TSS and TP over 1988
conditions However land use change will generate 2 836 acre feet of new runoff volume
To address this increase in stormwater volume the City has identified several new BMPs that
will over time either reduce stormwater volume or minimize the adverse effects of additional

stormwater volume Managing stormwater volume has the additional benefit of reducing TSS
and TP loading by reducing the amount of runoff picking up and transporting pollutants to
downstream waters These BMPs include
A new requirement on development and redevelopment to abstract remove from runoff by
infiltration evapotranspiration capture and reuse etc a portion of annual runoff volume
Reducing additional stormwater runoff volume through evapotranspiration by developing
and implementing a reforestation program
Retrofitting volume management BMPs where opportunities arise such as on City street
reconstruction projects and
Mitigating volume impacts by stream restoration erosion control projects and shoreline
restoration

1 1 Introduction
This study is completed in response to the Nondegradation Assessment requirement of the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as part of the City s National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System NPDES Phase II permit The purpose of this study is to assess changes in
stormwater runoff volume total suspended solids TSS and total phosphorus TP loading in the
City of Chanhassen since 1988 and to predict how land change expected to occur between now
and 2020 would impact those parameters This analysis is to be used to identify Best
Management Practices BMPs to be undertaken to return to 1988 or better conditions
A nondegradation assessment consists of three key steps
1 An assessment of change in land use and imperviousness in the city from 1988 to present
and out to 2020 conditions
2 An associated pollutant load change with the land use change for total phosphorus total
suspended solids and water volume
3 Identification of current of necessary BMPs to return to 1988 conditions or better
This study is organized as follows
1 A description of the City land use change since 1988 and change expected to occur
between now and 2020
2 A description of the method used to calculate imperviousness and the results
3 A description of the various input parameters used to model pollutant loading and
stormwater runoff volumes
4 A review of the existing BMPs designed to reduce pollutant loading including a history
of watershed and city rules and ordinances regulating development and redevelopment
the maintenance of sump manholes that collect material washed into the storm sewer

2 0 LAND USE AND P8 MODELING
2 1 P8 Model Construction and Organization
Modeling for much of the City has already been completed through the preparation of Use
Attainability Assessments UAAs for many of the lake watersheds in Chanhassen by the Riley
Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District Table 2 1 The UAAs include both watershed load
modeling and in lake response modeling The UAAs are used to identify potential improvement
projects and estimate the costs to restore the waterbody to meet selected water quality goals
UAAs have not been completed for Lake Minnewashta nor Rice Lake

The UAAs include a P8 model developed for each of the lake watersheds P8 Program for
Predicting Polluting Particle Passage thru Pits Puddles Ponds is a public domain
http wwwalker net p8 industry standard model developed to assess pollutant loading in
urban watersheds P8 was developed using National Urban Runoff Program NURP data and
provides loading estimates based on data collected as a part of the NURP program P8 was
designed to assess the effectiveness of BMP implementation in reducing runoff loads from
impervious surfaces and provides a tool for evaluating other non structural practices such as street
sweeping These models represent the best tools available for predicting watershed loads under
current conditions
The models provided by the watershed districts were the basis for the City s assessment For the
assessment the P8 model subwatersheds were maintained as well as the device configurations
However imperviousness and the pervious curve numbers were updated based on evaluations of
land use LANDSAT data and aerial photo interpretation Selection of these input variables is
described later in this report It is important to note the modeling is not focused on absolute
values rather the purpose is to assess relative change among the time periods The modeling
does need to be close to real world values to assess the impact of current activities on loading
The modeling was developed for this purpose and is not intended to be a calibrated loading
model

The analysis was conducted according to the receiving water including ten lakes Figure 2 1
Although the analysis focused on changes in loading to the lakes the subwatershed detail was
maintained in the model for future evaluation of projects on water quality
2 2 Land Use Assessment
Land use data was collected from the City of Chanhassen which used the same land use
categories to classify land use in 1990 2000 and planned 2020 These data were combined into
a representative group of categories Table 2 2 Figures 2 2 2 3 and 2 4 1990 data was selected
as a surrogate for 1988 because land use data was readily available for 1990 and not 1988 Little
change occurred in the City between 1988 and 1990 The resultant coverages are the best
estimate of land use for the three critical time periods including 1990 2000 present and 2020
These data were compiled for the City of Chanhassen Table 2 3 The 2020 land use coverage
assumes build out conditions and that no agricultural or vacant land will remain in the City A
near doubling of the land area used as single family residential is expected between 1990 and
2020 along with significant increases in industrial and office uses Large lot rural residential
uses are also expected to be converted to other more intense uses

2 3 Imperviousness Assessment
To estimate the imperviousness in the City assumed percent imperviousness by land use from
the watershed district supplied models and LANDSAT imagery were assessed Table 2 4 Figure
2 5 The LANDSAT impervious fraction is an area weighted average of imperviousness for all
pixels or partial pixels falling in each land use classification The values were in relative
agreement except for commercial and industrial areas Aerial photos were analyzed to determine
the imperviousness of these two land uses The selected values for the modeling were chosen
based on aerial photo interpretation or based on an evaluation of LANDSAT estimated
imperviousness as well as knowledge of the area and to provide a conservative approach

An aerial photo assessment of impervious areas in the adjacent City of Eden Prairie evaluated a
total of 376 commercial acres as well as 628 industrial acres Table 2 5 Impervious and
pervious areas were digitized to estimate the area of impervious surfaces in these land use
categories Although they represent a very small area parking lot islands were considered
impervious because of soil compaction in these areas Commercial areas were determined to be
approximately 67 impervious while industrial areas were determined to be 46 impervious
Commercial development in Chanhassen is very similar to Eden Prairie However the
LANDSAT impervious fraction for industrial was 51 and 75 was used in the UAAs This
study used 55 as the impervious fraction for industrial uses based on the LANDSAT data

2 5 Other P8 Inputs
Other model input is the particle precipitation and temperature file The particle file used was
the P8 default NURP50 particle file Both the precipitation and temperature files used were
obtained from UAA models All models were run for the same 10 year period 1992 to 2002
with 5 passes through the precipitation file
2 6 Model Validation and Assumptions
Modeling was conducted for all loading in the City including loading from other NPDES Phase
II permit holders Other permit holders include MnlDOT Carver County and Hennepin County
These loadings were included in this assessment
The modeling approach presented here is a conservative approach to assess nondegradation The
P8 model was developed for urban watersheds However one of the critical aspects of this
modeling is the change in loading that occurs as land is converted from open or agriculture to
developed land To test the P8 model s handling of open space a test watershed 100 acres was
run for an average precipitation year Table 2 8 Curve numbers in the model for open space
and agriculture typically ranged from 60 to 70 Because of the low runoff 1 4 inches the
loading rates for open land with these curve numbers is very low This may be artificially
lowering the runoff from these areas especially if the current land use is agriculture However
to maintain a conservative approach these numbers were maintained in the model

Watershed Outlet Monitoring Program WOMP Table 2 9 For the WOMP data a close to
average year precipitation was selected to evaluate Data are presented as flow weighted means
or on a unit area basis This makes the data comparable even though the model was only run for

3 0 CURRENT WATER QUALITY
TREATMENT CAPACITY
Understanding the BMPs and water quality treatment devices in the watershed is vital in
assessing load changes in the City between 1988 and present Additionally assessing whether
the current practices are sufficient for protecting water quality into the future can help guide City
activities to assure compliance with nondegradation
3 1 Applicable Rules Codes and Ordinances
Applicable watershed district rules and City codes and ordinances that address water quality
were reviewed to determine the current treatment capacity in the City resulting from regulation
3 1 1 Chanhassen Codes and Ordinances
Wetlands Provides for management of wetlands and wetland impacts by management
classification as determined by a functions and values assessment Ordinance specifies
allowable hydrologic change in wetlands and buffer and setback standards by classification
Shore land Management Establishes structure septic system and drain field setbacks and
minimum lot sizes regulates grading and filling activities and alteration of natural vegetation in
the shoreland management area and regulates onsite sewerage systems in the shoreland area
Also specifies maximum impervious coverage by land use type and regulates placement and
design of roads driveways and parking areas
Bluff Creek Overlay District Contains a number of regulations to protect the Bluff Creek
Corridor wetlands bluffs trees and general environmental quality in the Overlay District This
ordinance encourages minimization of new impervious surface cluster development and other
Low Impact Design elements and requires a Natural Habitat Restoration Plan mitigating impacts
to natural habitat areas in the Overlay District
Surface Water Management Sets forth water quantity and quality requirements Rate control
and NURP Ievel treatment is required on new developments Additional treatment requirements
are established for developments that discharge to higher waterbodies Where developments
discharge to Riley or Purgatory Creek new runoff is prohibited from increasing the flow rate in
the creek
3 1 2 Riley Purgatory Creek Bluff Creek Watershed District
The District s regulatory program was formally established in 1996 Projects to alter or disturb
land surfaces in excess of one acre fill within the 100 year floodplain or fill within a wetland
are required to meet NURP design requirements and include skimming of floatable materials
City of Chanhassen
Nondegradation Assessment
15 DR AFT December 07

No specific rate or volume control is required According to Bob Obermeyer former engineer
for the District standards have been in place since 1977 for projects altering more than one acre
The early emphasis was simply on erosion control but in the early 80s started looking for
sedimentation control and treatment The design criteria used was to provide sufficient surface
settling area to remove a 0 1 mm particle based on a 10 year 1 65 in 30 minutes storm event
Obermeyer pers corresp 6 8 06 7 12 06
3 1 3 Minnehaha Creek Watershed District
The District s regulatory program was formally established in 1974 and has been periodically
revised since that time The standards in place since 1988 apply to all land alterations except for
residential developments ofless than two acres Wet detention basins meeting NURP design
requirements are required except that developments less than 40 acres can choose to purchase
regional storm water storage credits The District s current regulatory program requires all
projects to incorporate Best Management Practices including site design structural and non
structural practices Water quality requirements depend on the land use and size of project
Generally NURP Ievel treatment is required for developments of 8 acres or more
3 1 4 Lower Minnesota Watershed District
The District s regulatory program was formally established in 1999 A Runoff Management
Plan RMP is required for residential projects in excess of 5 acres or nonresidential projects in
excess of one acre or projects meeting other criteria Runoff from the site after development
must not exceed the peak runoff from the site predevelopment for the 20 percent chance 5 year
and I percent chance lOO year storm event The one LMWD lake in Chanhassen Rice Lake
is a Level IV lake requiring runoff treatment prior to discharge to NURP standards except that
dead storage must be provided for a 2 inch event rather than a 2 5 inch event
3 2 Treatment Device Quantification
The City of Chanhassen s pond and wetland database was reviewed to assess the ability to
quantify the treatment capacity in the City The most important data includes pond dead storage
or bottom and surface areas Flood pool storage is also useful but not critical Pond surface
areas are available but it is not known if all ponds are included For the Riley Purgatory Bluff
Creek Watershed the data are available in the P8 model supplied by the District Consequently
the treatment capacity was estimated based on the year the lot was developed and the District or
City rules in place at the time
3 3 Year Built For Developments
The first step in identifying the rules under which development occurred is to determine the date
when a lot was developed Hennepin and Carver Counties maintain a GIS layer that includes the
development year for a particular tax lot Figure 3 1 The City was then broken into areas
based on the period in which different watershed rules were in place Realizing that some
development can still occur without review less than 5 acres each subwatershed was evaluated

Watershed rules were in place in the early 1980s however the key rules are those in place after
1988 Since the early 1990s the pond design was the National Urban Runoff Program NURP
standard and is assumed to provide a 50 to 60 total phosphorus reduction and a 70 to 80 total
suspended solids reduction

4 1 Organization
Model results were organized on a receiving water basis with the City s ten lakes as the focus
Figure 2 1 Model results are presented in for these subwatersheds Those subwatersheds that
drain out of the City or drain to creeks that ultimately drain out of the City without entering a
lake were grouped together The details of the P8 models supplied by the watershed districts
were maintained and are provided in the Technical Appendices
4 2 Load Changes
Changes to impervious area volume TSS and TP for the City of Chanhassen between 1990 and
2020 are presented in Table 4 1 Between 1990 and 2020 the City is expected to add about 1 250
impervious acres resulting in an increased discharge of over 2 800 acre feet of water The
increased discharge was predicted to include an additional 786 000 pounds of TSS and 2 690
pounds of total phosphorus

4 3 Current BMP Treatment
The primary BMPs in the City are load reductions through the application of development rules
and street sweeping These BMPs were evaluated to estimate the pollutant removal and volume
reduction each were currently providing and could be expected to provide in the future The
reductions were summed to estimate the total amount of pollutant removal and applied to the
load increase resulting from land use change to determine the net change in pollutant load and
stormwater volume between 1990 and 2020
4 3 1 Development Rules
To evaluate the impact of application of development rules each parcel in the city was assigned
a treatment level depending on when it was built and the treatment rules that were in place at that
time For each subwatershed raw and treated TSS and TP loads were calculated for each
subwatershed based on land use in 1990 2000 and 2020
The reduction attributed to development rules was calculated as follows Say a parcel that was
vacant in 1990 generated a 30 pound per year TSS load After development it generated a raw
load of 100 pounds per year TSS Treatment rules were applied to the raw post development
load 100 pounds 80 percent removal 80 pounds removed per year This parcel generated a
raw load increase of 70 pounds per year but treatment resulted in 80 pounds per year TSS
removal Thus development can result in a net decrease in TSS and TP load
Treatment rules have been in place since 1988 so development after 1988 was assumed to be
treated to NURP standards 80 percent removal TSS 60 percent removal TP However as
discussed above some development may not have required treatment The estimated removal
due to rules was calculated as the raw load increase times the 80 percent NURP removal rate
times the estimated fraction of development built under the rules shown in Table 3 1

4 3 2 Street Sweeping
The City of Chanhassen has a street sweeping program and maintains detailed records of
material removed from streets Much of the volume of material that accumulates on streets is
trash and organic material such as leaves and sand and sediment particles that are too heavy to
become suspended in stormwater as TSS To estimate the fraction of material removed by street
sweeping that would likely have become a part of the TSS load three samples of street
sweepings taken in nearby Eden Prairie were analyzed and an actual particle size distribution
developed Based on that analysis it is estimated that about 5 5 percent of the volume of street
sweepings was of a particle size that fell into the P8 TSS particle size class distribution see
Table 4 3 That percent was applied to the average annual volume of street sweepings removed
to obtain an estimate of TSS removal from sweeping To calculate the estimated annual TP
removal by street sweeping the P8 fraction of TP associated with TSS 3 850 mglkg was
applied to the 3 3 percent that fell into the particle size distribution PO to P50 A literature
value of 300 mglkg was applied to the 2 2 percent that fell into the P80 class The annual
average removal of TSS and TP was allocated among the watersheds based on the impervious
acres in that subwatershed assuming that the subwatersheds with more impervious acres had
more road surface that were swept Table 4 4

4 4 Model Sensitivity
Because the model is not calibrated and is only used for comparison purposes it is useful to test
the sensitivity of model to selected inputs especially as we compare model results to real world
measured removals
The first parameter that may affect the results of the model is the selection of the particle file
The current modeling is based on the NURP50 file which represents the median concentrations
from the NURP studies To assess the potential effects of underestimating runoff concentrations
the Rice Marsh subwatershed was analyzed using both the median runoff concentrations
NURP50 and 90th percentile runoff concentrations NURP90
Results of the 50th and 90th percentile runs are presented in Table 4 8 and Table 4 9 Even if the
actual concentrations were more similar to 90tfi percentile concentrations for both TSS and TP
the City of Chanhassen would be meeting the nondegradation requirement

5 0 SUMMARY AND PROPOSED BMPS
The City of Chanhassen in conjunction with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek and Minnehaha
Creek Watershed Districts has been actively managing water quality for many years These
activities have included developing and enforcing rules to minimize water quality impacts from
development building and maintaining BMPs throughout the city and actively sweeping city
streets to remove as much material as possible from the impervious surfaces These activities
have been very effective in the mitigation of increased TSS and TP loads from the watershed
The increase in impervious surface between 1990 and 2000 has resulted in increased stormwater
runoff volume and that volume is expected to continue to increase with further development
Volume is difficult to remove from the watershed and it is unlikely that the City will be able to
attain 1988 volume conditions However the effects of increased runoff volume can be
minimized or mitigated through stream bank and shoreline stabilization programs infiltration
and rate control Consequently the best approach to addressing volume is through aggressive
abstraction and mitigation and opportunistic volume control
5 1 Special and Impaired Waters
Bluff Creek was added to the State of Minnesota 303 d list of Impaired Waters in 2002 for
excess turbidity and on 2004 based on its fish community index of biotic integrity score
TMDLs have not yet been completed for those impairments Lotus Lake was added to the
303 d list in 2002 for excess nutrients and Lake Riley in 2002 for excess nutrients and mercury
fish consumption Seminary Fen and Assumption Creek are Outstanding Resource Value
Waters
5 2 Total Suspended Solids
The combination of development rules and street sweeping has proved effective in reducing the
volume of total suspended solids to a level well below that estimated to have been contributed in
1988 Most ofthat removal is a result of application of development rules and other regulations
but almost one quarter is achieved through the aggressive street maintenance program Each
subwatershed except Lake Ann meets the Nondegradation Total Suspended Solids requirement
by removing more TSS through regulation and BMPs than the new load generated since 1988
see Table 4 6 It should be noted that if any future TMDLs for any water resource to which
Chanhassen discharges requires additional TSS load reduction then the City may be required to
remove additional TSS or TP load beyond simply meeting the Nondegradation TSS and TP
requirement
5 2 1 Regulatory Program
Development rules will continue to require land altering activities to provide at least NURP Ievel
removal 80 of Total Suspended Solids prior to discharge In accordance with its NPDES

permit the City annually inspects 20 percent of those detention ponds that are publicly owned to
determine maintenance needs and evaluate whether they continue to perform at the level to
which they were designed City ordinance requires owners of private stormwater facilities to
perform regular maintenance and to operate those facilities so they continue to perform at the
level to which they were designed Developer s Agreements specify required maintenance The
City s Stormwater Management Plan designates Assumption Creek and Seminary Fen as
Preserve classification water resources requiring a higher level of treatment for discharges to
those waters including temperature controls
5 2 2 Street Sweeping
This maintenance program removes not only smaller particles that contribute to Total Suspended
Solids but also larger particles of inorganic and organic material that can contribute to
downstream clarity and water quality issues as well as obstruct pipes create sediment deltas at
outlets and aggrade in streams and impair biotic functions Street sweeping also improves
traffic safety and general aesthetics by removing unsafe or unsightly materials from the streets
The City will continue to sweep streets once per year in the spring to remove sand and salt
residue from winter de icing plus any spring leaves and seeds and old organic material Other
street sweeping is performed throughout the year as necessary
Recent research in Wisconsin Bannerman 2007 indicates that the incremental water quality
benefit of increased street sweeping is small unless the frequency of sweeping is very aggressive
Street sweeping practices will be refined to improve the water quality and overall benefit of
street sweeping
1 Spring street sweeping will be performed as early as possible to remove material from the
street before the spring rains
2 Increased street sweeping frequency may be of benefit in sensitive locations such as in the
Lake Ann subwatershed or where there is noticeable aggradation in streams or below
outfalls or where a UAA or TMDL indicates that efforts should be maximized to remove
pollutant loading The City will evaluate the potential benefits of more frequent street
sweeping in sensitive areas
3 Timing of street sweeping will be evaluated to maximize its efficacy for example
sweeping prior to hydrant flushing
5 2 3 Lake Ann Subwatershed
The Lake Ann subwatershed is projected to generate 845 pounds more TSS in 2020 than was
generated in 1990 This sub watershed is very small and has a low watershed to lake area ratio
The lake also has good water quality and clarity There are several outfalls into Lake Ann The
City will investigate the possibility of retrofitting those outfalls with sump manholes or other
devices to collect sediment prior to discharge into the lake The City will also look for
opportunities to reduce runoff by increasing abstraction in the subwatershed and evaluate land
use policies governing development for opportunities to reduce the creation of new TSS

5 2 4 Other Activities
The volume management activities described in section 5 3 below such as increased infiltration
biofiltration and runoff volume controls may further reduce TSS and TP loading by pre treating
or reducing the amount of runoff volume conveying TSS and TP to waters
5 3 Total Phosphorus
As with TSS the combination of development rules manhole cleanout and street sweeping has
proved effective in reducing the volume of total phosphorus to a level below that estimated to
have been contributed in 1988 Most of that removal is a result of application of development
rules but almost 20 percent is achieved through the aggressive street maintenance program
Each subwatershed meets the Nondegradation Total Phosphorus requirement by removing more
TP through regulation and BMPs than the new load generated since 1988 see Table 4 7 It
should be noted that if any future TMDLs for any water resource to which land in Chanhassen
drains requires additional TP or TSS load reduction then the City may be required to remove
additional TP or TSS load beyond simply meeting the Nondegradation TP and TSS requirement
5 3 1 Regulatory Program
Development rules will continue to require land altering activities to provide at least NURP Ievel
removal 60 of Total Phosphorus prior to discharge In accordance with its NPDES permit
the City annually inspects 20 percent of those detention ponds that are publicly owned to
determine maintenance needs and evaluate whether they continue to perform at the level to
which they were designed City ordinance requires owners of private stormwater facilities to
perform regular maintenance and to operate those facilities so they continue to perform at the

City s Stormwater Management Plan designates Assumption Creek and Seminary Fen as

those waters including temperature controls
5 3 2 Street Sweeping
This maintenance program removes not only smaller particles that are a fraction of the TSS load
but also larger particles of organic material that can contribute to downstream clarity and water
quality issues Street sweeping also improves traffic safety and general aesthetics by removing
unsafe or unsightly materials from the streets and reduces the amount of material on the street
that can clog catch basin covers and limit street drainage
The City will continue to sweep streets once per year in the spring to remove sand and salt
residue from winter de icing plus any spring leaves and seeds and old organic material Other
street sweeping is performed throughout the year as necessary

5 3 3 Lake Ann and Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Subwatersheds
The Lake Ann subwatershed is projected to generate 8 pounds more TP in 2020 than was
generated in 1990 with 70 additional pounds TP estimated in the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
subwatershed
The Lake Ann subwatershed is very small and has a low watershed to lake area ratio The lake
also has good water quality and clarity There are several outfalls into Lake Ann Reduction in
TSS loading from those outfalls as described above will also reduce phosphorus loading The
City will investigate the possibility of retrofitting those outfalls with sump manholes or other
devices to collect sediment prior to discharge into the lake The City will also look for
opportunities to reduce runoff by increasing abstraction in the subwatershed and evaluate land
use policies governing development for opportunities to reduce the creation of new TP
The Riley Purgatory BluffCreek subwatershed encompasses about one third of the city s area
Impervious cover is expected to double between 2000 and 2020 A significant portion of this
subwatershed falls within the City s Bluff Creek Overlay District described in Section 3 1 1
above This ordinance contains a number of zoning and planning tools that will be applied to
development and redevelopment in this overlay district as part of the City s overall policy to
protect the Bluff Creek Corridor and its wetlands bluffs wooded areas and water resources If
the regulatory program is not successful in limiting new TP the City will incorporate TP
reduction BMPs into City projects as opportunities arise
5 3 4 Other Activities
The volume management activities described in section 5 3 below such as increased infiltration
biofiltration and runoff volume controls may further reduce TP and TSS loading by pre treating
or reducing the amount of runoff volume conveying TP and TSS to waters
5 4 Volume
This report estimates that stormwater volume in the city will increase by about 50 percent
between 1990 and 2020 with most of that volume increase occurring between 2000 and 2020

Each subwatershed with the exception of Silver Lake and Lotus Lake significantly exceeds the
Nondegradation Volume Management requirement
Where new volume is expected to be generated as a result of future development or
redevelopment the regulatory program can be a means to achieve some level of volume
management Best Management Practices in already developed areas will likely be confined to
small volume management practices retrofitted where opportunities arise and mitigation of
water quality related impacts of volume such as streambank stabilization The City s water
resources and environmental education programs can also provide information to residential and
other property owners on small scale volume management practices for individual properties
5 4 1 Regulatory Program
Abstraction Infiltration Neither the City nor the three watershed districts with land in the city
require the infiltration or abstraction of stormwater runoff although that concept is being
discussed as a potential rule change in Minnehaha Creek Abstraction is the removal of
stormwater from runoff and can include BMPs such as infiltration evapotranspiration pervious
pavement and capture and reuse Most of the annual volume of stormwater runoff is generated
by small rain events so abstraction and infiltration of small events can significantly reduce the
amount of annual runoff volume
Precipitation frequency curves derived from precipitation records at the Minneapolis St Paul
International Airport can be used to estimate the percent of total annual volume that could be
captured through infiltration see Figure 5 1 About 85 percent of annual stormwater volume is
generated from the first one inch of rainfall storm events of up to one inch plus the first inch of
events greater than one inch A rule requiring abstraction of the first one inch of rainfall could
theoretically reduce new runoff volume by 85 percent About 80 percent of annual volume is
generated from the first three quarters inch and 65 percent from the first one half inch of rainfall

A secondary but important benefit of abstraction is that volume is no longer being contributed to
runoff and is not picking up and transporting pollutants to downstream waters Research
conducted by Prof Robert Pitt Pitt 1998 in the City of Milwaukee suggests that 25 percent of
the annual total phosphorus load is conveyed in the first one half inch of rainfall and 15 percent
of the annual TSS load For the first inch of rainfall that load is 65 percent of annual TP and 50
percent of annual TSS In the Twin Cities 90 percent of all rainfall events are one inch or less
The most common form of abstraction is infiltration A growing number of watershed
management organizations are enacting infiltration rules with one half inch infiltration from
new impervious surface common The Ramsey Washington County Watershed District and
Capitol Region Watershed Districts recently enacted a one inch from new impervious surface
rule and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is considering one inch as well
Adopting an abstraction requirement will reduce the new volume of runoff from developing and
redeveloping areas Chanhassen soils are mapped as generally being of soil hydrologic group B
These soils readily infiltrate However do to the highly urbanized land use throughout much of
Chanhassen actual infiltration rates may be diminished from those anticipated for the mapped
soil unit There are pockets of less permeable C and D soils Most development and
redevelopment should be able to successfully incorporate infiltration
An abstraction requirement for new development will only address new volume predicted to
occur between its promulgation and 2020 about 1 950 acre feet However in the very long
term as existing development redevelops the new volume generated between 1990 and 2000
and prior will slowly be mitigated as redevelopment and reconstruction occurs
The projected new storm water volume between 2000 and 2020 is 1 950 acre feet A one half
inch abstraction requirement might reduce new stormwater volume by an estimated 65 percent
or 1 270 acre feet leaving an estimated net new stormwater volume of 680 acre feet
The City will work with the Watershed Districts to review and consider adopting a volume
management requirement for new development and redevelopment
Soil Management Plan requirement An assumption in calculating stormwater volume to be
captured from an abstraction requirement is that the part of the site that is pervious and
infiltrating stormwater pre construction will be as pervious and infiltrate at least as much
stormwater volume post construction In reality construction activities such as mass grading
road and utility construction and structure construction lead to soil compaction and loss of
permeability
To maximize the effectiveness of an infiltration requirement the City will consider revising its
ordinances to require developers to submit a Soil Management Plan that details how the
developer plans to 1 minimize soil compaction from construction activities 2 phase
construction activities to minimize exposed soils and 3 restore site permeability through actions
such as post construction soil ripping or soil amendment

Encourage Low Impact Development LID Low Impact Development LID Integrated
Management Practices IMP and Better Site Design principles and practices encourage
developers to consider stormwater impacts of new development early in the planning process
The City s zoning code includes provisions for Planned Unit Developments that may vary from
strict application of zoning requirements to make it easier to tailor a development to the terrain
and minimize stormwater impacts such as new volume The City will review its zoning code and
Planned Unit Development process to evaluate existing zoning or development incentives to
encourage developers to creatively apply LID IMP and better site design principles to minimize
new stormwater volumes and pollutant loading and to consider revisions to its zoning code and
PUD process
5 4 2 Education Program
The City has in place an education and outreach program to provide information to various
audiences on a wide variety of stormwater management and water quality issues This program
will target both residential property owners and commercial property owners on ways to
incorporate small infiltration practices on their property Small scale practices such as rain
gardens conversion of turf to native vegetation pond and wetland buffers installation of rain
barrels and cisterns and use of pervious pavement and pavers can add up to significant water
quality and stormwater reductions when broadly applied The City will utilize its currently
existing educational programming as well as explore cooperative opportunities with outside
agencies and will also develop targeted information for developers on incorporating Low Impact
Development principles and water quality and volume management into development and
redevelopment
5 4 3 Structural Improvements
Structural BMPs to manage storm water volume will be constructed as stand alone projects or
incorporated into other projects such as street reconstruction as opportunities arise These BMPs
store and infiltrate or evapotranspirate storm water at the street block or neighborhood scale
The cost per acre foot for these types of BMPs can be significant as stand alone projects but
may be more cost effective when combined with other improvements such as a neighborhood
street reconstruction project These types of BMPs also will have the benefit of further reducing
pollutant loading
Where it is difficult or too costly to significantly reduce new stormwater volume downstream
water resources will be protected from adverse effects through restoration and stabilization
projects
Infiltration basins An infiltration basin is a shallow vegetated basin designed to hold and
infiltrate stormwater Some evapotranspiration also occurs Infiltration basins also have an
ongoing significant maintenance cost Over time sediment discharged into the basins
accumulates and reduces the infiltration capacity This sediment must be removed periodically
and permeability restored through soil ripping soil amendment etc

Nondegradation Assessment
33 D R AFT December 07
236
Constructed wetlands Constructed wetlands can decrease stormwater volume through
evapotranspiration from wetland vegetation as well as evaporation from open water stored in the
wetland
Underground infiltration New technologies are available to construct infiltration devices under
large paved areas such as parking lots or streets Integrated Management Practices IMP and
Better site Design principles and practices There is an ongoing annual cost to remove and
dispose of accumulated material from the device
Streambank stabilization The new volume of storm water generated through land use change is
conveyed through the system of lakes wetlands and small channels into the major streams that
drain the City Bluff Creek and Riley Creek and to a lesser extent Assumption Creek This
additional volume increases peak flow rates and elevations in the streams and has the potential
to destabilize and erode streambanks The increased peak flows and streambank erosion also
may stress biological communities in the streams
These adverse impacts can be mitigated by strengthening streambanks and restoring areas of
existing erosion as well as considering structural amendments to the stream channel such as rock
vanes Habitat lost to past impacts can be mitigated with this restoration by re vegetating
streambanks adding step pools and enhancing substrate
The City and the watershed districts have performed general inventories of the major streams to
identify areas of existing erosion The City is currently taking steps to stabilize a number of the
identified erosion areas and will continue to work in partnership with the watershed districts to
undertake a program of stream restoration These projects would range from simple spot repairs
of streambanks to potential total restoration of the stream These projects will combine both
stabilization and habitat enhancement
5 4 4 Nonstructural Improvements
Reforestation Urban trees are an integral part of the storm water management system Trees
intercept rain and snow fall storing event volume for later evaporation Trees also use surface
storage for transpiration removing additional storm water volume from the stormwater system
Trees have other benefits as well Trees increase property values provide habitat take in C02
and release oxygen enhance neighborhood aesthetics and decrease home heating and cooling
costs The City recognizes this value by requiring by ordinance replacement of trees lost to
construction or land alteration
Numerous studies have been conducted estimating the volume ofrainfall that trees intercept for
example Xiong et al 2000 McPherson 2005 This annual volume is dependant on the type and
species of tree and whether the tree is isolated such as an urban street tree or part of a forest
canopy For example evergreen trees can intercept and store more stormwater than deciduous
trees because their narrow leaves provide a greater leaf surface area The volume also depends
on the intensity of the storm with less intense events resulting in more interception On average
however literature suggests that an isolated deciduous tree can intercept approximately 25
percent of the annual volume of rainfall that falls upon it Combined with the daily water use for

237
transpiration Wullschleger 1998 it is estimated that a single deciduous tree can
evapotranspirate 2 000 3 000 gallons of stormwater per year A coniferous tree can
evapotranspirate an even greater amount
It is estimated that about 10 000 trees could evapotranspirate about 100 acre feet of stormwater
volume The City will evaluate its existing reforestation program and current preservation
practices to reduce the amount of rainfall that runs off the landscape
WetlandlUpland Restoration The City has restored dozens of acres of wetlands and will
continue to look for additional opportunities to restore wetland areas and the associated upland
Wetland vegetation is very efficient at transpiring significant volumes of water reducing the
overall volume discharged to water resources downstream Native vegetation planted in restored
uplands can increase the infiltration capacity of poorer soils by increasing organic matter in the
soil and by creating long root channels to convey water deep into the soil

RE Chanhassen Draft Nondegradation Plan ENGINEERiNG DEPT
Dear Mr Jeffery
Metropolitan Council staff has reviewed the draft Nondegradation Assessment plan prepared for the
city as part of its MS4 NPDES permit requirements Council staff has found the plan to be consistent
with the Council s Water Resources Management Policy Plan
The above plan indicates that the amount of suspended solids and phosphorus will be reduced between
1990 and 2020 However the total runoff volume will increase by over 50 percent fiom 1990
conditions The plan outlines several strategies which the city will consider to reduce the runoff
volume between current conditions and 2020 However the plan does not detail a clear action plan for
achieving reductions in stom1 water volume There are a number of impaired waters in the city
which are being degraded because of increased sto11n water runoff It is critical that a clearly defined
action plan be proposed on how the city will reduce storm water volume so these impaired water
bodies can be improved
Requiring abstraction infiltration for development and redevelopment as well as a soil management
plan and promoting low impact development will all lead toward improved waters by reducing runoff
volume but it takes a strong regulatory conunitment from the city to bring this to fruition
Thank you for the opportunity to review the city s nondegradation plan If you have any questions
about the comments please contact Jack Frost of my office at 651 602 1078

gone into it I support the recommendations to have the city adopt the more advanced storm water
management practices mentioned in the document on page 2 of the executive summary and section 5 4 1
The report also points out that Lotus Lake will meet the 1988 guideline due to the fact that the Lake was fully
developed in 1988 and thus will not get much attention due to this assessment I d like to point out
however that Lotus Lake is still on the impaired waters list and needs to be improved well beyond 1988
standards Therefore I want to strongly recommend that you support the Lotus Lake improvement project that
the Watershed is proposing as part of the its 10 year plan This plan implements the more advanced storm

Hi my name is Dave Susla I am the recently elected President of the Lotus Lake Homeowners Association I am
writing to you out of concern for Lotus Lake as it relates to the recent studies on the non degradation
assessments While the assessment the city has developed appears to be an excellent document and I
appreciate the fine work that has gone into it I am concerned that it does not go far enough to protect and
preserve Lotus Lake and more importantly ultimately get Lotus Lake removed from the impaired waters list
strongly support the recommendations to have the city adopt the more advanced storm water management
practices mentioned in the document on page 2 of the executive summary and section 5 4 1
While it is fairly evident that Lotus Lake will meet the 1988 guideline it is mainly due to the fact that Lotus Lake
was fully developed in 1988 So the bar was set pretty low with regards to improvement as the majority of the
damage from development was already present in 1988 The bottom line is that Lotus Lake will receive very little
benefit by meeting the 1988 guideline Given this fact and the fact that Lotus Lake is still on the impaired waters
list it needs to be improved well beyond 1988 standards While there has been no formal homeowner vote on
this subject I can tell you from personal conversations with many lakeshore owners water quality is a primary
and growing concern on the lake As a group I can assure you that we are very interested in seeing you support
the Lotus Lake improvement project that the Watershed is proposing as part of the watershed s 10 year plan As I
am sure you know the plan will implement more advanced Storm water management practices than are currently being proposed The ultimate goal of the watershed s program is to get Lotus Lake off of the impaired waters list
I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this note and ultimately for your support

Dear City of Chanhassen Planning commission and City Council
As a Lotus Lake resident and Chanhassen citizen since 1991 and I m very proud of our lake and we feel
privileged to have this type of resource But I m embarrassed that some Chanhassen residents still won t swim in
Lotus Lake due to the pollution
My family is very interested in improving the impaired status of our lake and we have taken a proactive effort
Picking up garbage on the lake during ice fishing season
Helping to educate neighbors to become good stewards
Cleaning the streets from harmful items which could wash into the lake
Communicating DNR and City water preservation ideas to the lake s watershed area
Etc
It appears the non degradation assessment the city has developed is a commendable document with sound
results It shows that Lotus Lake has passed this assessment when related to 1988 guidelines At first glance one
would think that this is good and it s certainly not bad But the lake was fully developed and fairly polluted in
1988 and so even meeting these guidelines we are still impaired To this end going back to a previously
unacceptable standard just doesn t make sense I don t think Cleveland wants to go back to 1969 when the
Cuyahoga River was on fire It s the same scenario
Although I appreciate the hard work put into the assessment we need to and can do better by comparing ourselves against excellence not mediocrity Our Schools don t aim for mediocrity and I wouldn t think we d want
our natural resources to be satisfied with it either We need to strive for better than this And we have a great
opportunity to do so with a huge groundswell of support
Therefore I am strongly in favor of the recommendations to have the city adopt the more advanced storm water
management practices mentioned in the document on page 2 of the executive summary and section 5 4 1
Furthermore I want to strongly recommend that you support the Lotus Lake improvement project that the
Watershed is proposing as part of the watersheds 10 year plan This plan basically implements the more
advanced Storm water management practices by reducing volume and improving the quality and can be used a
stepping stone for the rest of the city s lakes and streams
Thank you for your considerations I look forward to doing more than my share to help clean up one of our best
resources

well developed and with sound results I appreciate the fine work that has gone into it
I am writing to support the recommendations to have the city adopt the more advanced storm
water management practices mentioned in the document on page 2 of the executive summary
and section 5 4 1
I commend Paul Oehme Terry Jeffery for their recent combined efforts with the Riley
Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed They have both been very open minded have offered many
out of the box suggestions that will benefit the environment while meeting the growing
needs of Chanhassen Paul Terry are currently working together with the RPBC
watershed engineer on the Meadow Green Wetland project in the Carver Beach area to
maximize the end result of clean water leaving the pond as well as taking advantage of
possibly 800 000 of watershed funding to meet common goals By partnering on projects
with common goals the resolutions will take both perspectives into consideration our
city tax dollars will go farther
It is imperative that we make funds available to focus on implementing redevelopment
standards of infiltration for retrofitting volume management where opportunities arise on
city street reconstruction projects throughout all of Chanhassen These projects will
reduce erosion while Improving water quality for all of our lakes streams
Lotus Lake was already a fully developed residential lake in 1988i the phosphorous
suspended solid statistics were already at a level beyond it s classification of a
recreational lakei which is defined as fishable swimable Regardless of the fact that
Lotus scathes by on the non degradation report required by the city being the same as
1988 i the volume of surface water run off is extremely high and we are recognized as an
impaired water with the State since 2003 Accepting 1988 post development levels of
phosphorous pollutants for this particular lake would be less than mediocrity
Lotus being added to the MN303D impaired list dictated that tax payers conduct an 80 000
Use Attainability Analysis UAA
The UAA was completed by Barr Engineering in 2005 This comprehensive study analyzes the
phosphorous nitrate suspended solid loading and invasive plant specie issues and their
many sources Barr s report addresses exact steps that need to be taken including 4 years
of herbicide treatment to kill the excessive mil foil and curly leaf pond weed that was
enabled by high phosphorous levels Alum treatment during years 5 7 to prevent the
phosphorous already on the bottom of the lake from recirculating throughout the lake
Years 8 10 continual monitoring and possible reapplication of herbicide or alum We also
need to terminate the purple loosestrife by introducing Galerualla Beetles supplied by the
DNR
In addition to Barr s recommendations the watershed s proposed ten year plan would
implement more advanced storm water management practices by reducing volume and improving
the quality The only way the proposed ten year plan will PERMANENTLY improve the lake is
by PERMANENTLY reducing volume phosphorous entering the lake This is true of all
Chanhassen lakes streams
248
Since the report was released in 2005 some holding ponds have been modified cleaned
out None of the many recommendations by Barr Engineering have taken place and
unfortunately there has not been any measurable improvements to water quality
So to consider Lotus Lake with two city parks public swimming beaches a fishing dock
up to par is a huge misconception
Three dedicated members or our Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization LLCWO Steve Donen
Scott Maeyaert myself have been working with the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Water
Shed District since May of 2007 to implement the 10 year plan recommended by Barr
Engineering By working with local watersheds the city will have a better opportunity to
develop plans that work defray costs from city funds
This plan would reduce volume and improve quality of the storm water run off We strongly
encourage the support of city managers and Council to encourage the watershed to proceed
with the proposed ten year RPBC plan
Thank you for your considerations

The non degradation assessment the city has developed appears to be an excellent document
well developed and with sound results I appreciate the fine work that has gone into it
I am taking this time to write this note to support the recommendations to have the city
adopt the more advanced storm water management practices mentioned in the document on page
2 of the executive summary and section 5 4 1
Also it points out that Lotus Lake will meet the 1988 guideline due to the fact that
Lotus Lake was fully developed in 1988 and thus will not get much attention due to this
assessment I want to remind you that Lotus Lake is still on the impaired waters list and
needs to be improved well beyond 1988 standards for this reason I want to strongly
recommend that you support the Lotus Lake improvement project that the Watershed is
proposing as part of the watersheds 10 year plan This plan basically implements the more
advanced Storm water management practices by reducing volume and improving the quality and
can be used a stepping stone for the rest of the city s lakes and streams
Thank you for your considerations

Subject Chanhassen Non degradation Plan Lotus Lake needs more help
Subject RE Chanhassen Non Degradation Plan Lotus Lake needs more help
I think the City is moving in the right direction and support the general Non Degradation Plans
But additional attention needs to be given to the water quality of Lotus Lake It is classified as impaired
and would have been classified as impaired in 1988 the targeted levels of improvement
I recommend the the Council and City staff work with the Riley Purgagory Bluff Creek Watershed District
and other concerned organizations Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization Lotus Lake Homeowners
Association to implement Best Practice Water Management strategies to improve the water quality in
Lotus Lake
We need to
Reduce the run off volume entering Lotus Lake
Reduce Total Disolved Solids entering the Lake
Study in flow and out flow to determine ways of better managing bounce after rains
Reduce Phosphorus levels entering the Lake
Treat the phosphorus existing within the Lake
Manage invasive and destructive Carp

Memorandum
To Terry Schwalbe Project Chanhassen Nondegradation
Assessment Date 1 8 2008
From Dan Murphy Client LMRWD
Re LMRWD Review File No 1460 08 000
Remarks
Per your request we have reviewed the December 2007 Chanhassen Nondegradation
Assessment Draft on behalf of the LMRWD
The non structural BMPs regulatory and educational programs and structural BMPs listed by
the Assessment as measures to reduce citywide stormwater runoff volume and pollution meet
the goals policies and criteria of the District as described in the 1999 LMRWD Water
Management Plan WMP
Detailed comments follow below
The Assessment has determined that volumes of Total Suspended Solids TSS and Total
Phosphorus TP generated city wide have been reduced to a level below that estimated to
have been contributed in 1990 Sections 5 2 5 3 However increases in TSS and TP from
1990 to 2020 are projected to occur at a smaller scale for the Lake Ann and Riley Purgatory
Bluff Creek subwatersheds The Lake Ann subwatershed is projected to generate 845 pounds
more TSS in 2020 than was generated in 1990 Section 5 2 3 In addition the Lake Ann
subwatershed is projected to generate 8 pounds more TP in 2020 than was generated in 1990
with 70 additional pounds TP estimated in the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
Subwatershed Section 5 3 3
1 The measures listed below are included in the Assessment as sources of the past citywide
TSS and TP reductions These measures will continue to be implemented by the City in the
future
a Sections 5 2 1 and 5 3 1 of the Nondegradation Assessment state that the City has
and will continue to apply development rules which require that land altering
activities provide NURP Ievel removal of TSS 80 and TP 60 prior to discharge
For waterbodies classified by the LMRWD as Level I or II the most restrictive
classification Section 5 13 3 of the LMRWD WMP requires that new developments
construct ponds which provide water quality volume greater than or equal to the 2 5
inch 24 hour storm Providing this amount of water quality volume is equivalent to
providing the NURP Ievel removal of TSS and TP listed in the Assessment

b Sections 5 2 2 and 5 3 2 of the Nondegradation Assessment state that the City
sweeps its streets once per year in the spring and other street sweeping is performed
throughout the year as necessary Street sweeping practices will be refined to improve
the water quality and overall benefit of street sweeping
Street sweeping supports the LMRWD goal listed in Section 5 4 of the WMP of
reducing non point source pollution in the District The LMRWD WMP also lists street
sweeping as a Non structural Source Control8MP WMP Table 5 9 to be potentially
implemented into Runoff Management Plans as required in Section 5 13 1 of the
WMP
2 Section 5 2 3 of the Nondegradation Assessment states that the Lake Ann subwatershed is
projected to generate 845 pounds more TSS in 2020 than was generated in 1990 The
Nondegradation Assessment lists the following BMPs that will be considered to mitigate
TSS within the watershed
a The City will investigate the possibility of retrofitting those outfalls with sump
manholes or other devices to collect sediment prior to discharge to the lake
The use of sump manholes as a structural storm water 8MP is not specifically
addressed in the LMRWD WMP However this type of measure is generally supported
by the goals and policies listed in the LMRWD WMP
b The City will look for opportunities to reduce runoff by increasing abstraction in the
subwatershed to reduce the creation of new TSS
Policy 3 in Section 5 5 2 of the LMRWD WMP states that the District encourages the
use of temporary surface storm water storage facilities and infiltration techniques
wherever practical and environmentally sound
c The City will evaluate land use policies governing development for opportunities to
reduce the creation of new TSS
This measure is generally supported by the goals and policies listed in the LMRWD
WMP
3 Section 5 3 3 of the Nondegradation Assessment states that the Lake Ann subwatershed is
projected to generate 8 pounds more TP in 2020 than was generated in 1990 with 70
additional pounds TP estimated in the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek subwatershed The City
proposes to reduce TP and TSS in the same manner as described about in item 2 The City
proposes to reduce TP in the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek subwatershed using the following
BMPs
a The City will use its Bluff Creek Overlay District ordinance to protect the Bluff Creek
corridor and its wetlands bluffs wooded areas and water resources A significant
portion of the subwatershed is within the aforementioned Overlay District
Page2of4
253
This measure is generally supported by the goals and policies listed in the LMRWD
WMP
b The City will incorporate TP reduction BMPs into City projects as opportunities arise if
the regulatory program is not successful in limiting new TP
This measure is generally supported by the goals and policies listed in the LMRWD
WMP
4 The Assessment estimates that stormwater volume increases citywide by about 50
between 1990 and 2020 To mitigate some of this increase the City lists the following
regulatory and structural BMPs
a Section 5 4 1 of the Assessment states that the City will work with the Watershed
Districts to review and consider adopting a volume management requirement
Specific measures would be to require Soil Management Plans for development and
redevelopment projects and encourage Low Impact Development practices
Currently the LMRWD does not require the infiltration or abstraction of stormwater
However Policy 3 in Section 5 5 2 of the LMRWD WMP states that the District
encourages the use of temporary surface storm water storage facilities and infiltration
techniques wherever practical and environmentally sound
b Section 5 4 2 of the Assessment states the City will continue to facilitate its education
and outreach program to educate citizens of small scale measures that can be
implemented on their property to reduce stormwater volume citywide The City will
also seek to educate developers on incorporating Low Impact Development practices
into development and redevelopment projects
Policy 6 in Section 5 6 of the LMRWD WMP states that the District will coordinate with
other groups and units of government in developing education programs or
implementing ongoing efforts
c Section 5 4 3 of the Assessment discusses utilizing the following structural BMPs to
reduce storm water volume or its effects infiltration basins constructed wetlands
underground infiltration and streambank stabilization
Infiltration basins wetland treatment areas and infiltration trenches are listed as
example BMPs in Table 5 8 of the LMRWD WMP to be potentially implemented into
Runoff Management Plans as required in Section 5 13 1 of the WMP The LMRWD
WMP also lists the development and maintenance of recharge areas as a structural
discharge elimination BMP WMP Table 5 9 to be potentially implemented into Runoff
Management Plans Policy 1 in Section 5 3 2 of the LMRWD WMP states that the
District will promote and encourage restoration of disturbed streambanks
Page 3 of 4
254
d Section 5 4 4 of the Assessment describes how reforestation is a potential non
structural BMP that could be utilized to reduce stormwater volumes and states that
the City will reevaluate its existing reforestation program and current preservation
practices to reduce the amount of rainfall that runs off the landscape
Reforestation as a storm water BMP is not explicitly described in the LMRWD WMP
However this type of measure is generally supported by goals and policies listed in the
LMRWD WMP
e Section 5 4 4 of the Nondegradation Assessment describes how wetland vegetation
has the ability to transpire large amounts of water thereby reducing stormwater
volume The City will continue to look for additional opportunities to restore wetland
areas and the associated upland
Wetland restoration is supported by Section 5 9 of the LMRWD WMP which states
that one of the goals of the LMRWD is to preserve wetlands for water retention
recharge soil conservation wildlife habitat aesthetics and natural enhancement of
water quality

TH 5 CORRIDOR STUDY TH 41 TO TH 212
DRAFT PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Trunk Highway TH 5 runs in a southwest northeast direction between TH 7 and TH 212 in
Carver County Minnesota In the context of other transportation routes in Carver County TH 5
is a key minor arterial that provides east west mobility through the county While rapid urban
growth has occurred to the east of the study area in Eden Prairie and Chanhassen this growth is
now extending outward to Victoria and Waconia Based on Metropolitan Council demographics
data the cities of Victoria and Waconia have grown by 50 percent and 40 percent respectively
during that period 2000 to 2006 The segment of TH 5 under study serves the growing
communities of Chanhassen Victoria Waconia and Norwood Young America which lie in the
western suburbs ofthe Twin Cities Metropolitan Area
Currently TH 5 is a four lane divided arterial from 1 494 to TH 41 however west ofTH 41 it is
a two lane undivided arterial that extends through Victoria and Waconia until it connects at TH
212 in Norwood Young America a distance of approximately 18 miles Based on the Carver
County Transportation Plan Update future growth in Victoria and Waconia as well as in eastern
and central Carver County is expected to result in a need to expand TH 5 to a four lane facility
from TH 41 to a point west ofWaconia However due to current funding limitations this two
lane section is not scheduled for any measurable capacity upgrades until after 2030 based on the
current Mn DOT Metro District Transportation System Plan Metro TSP
Because of anticipated growth both now and in the future along the corridor and the
opportunities for communities to manage development through their planning powers i e orient
development to coincide with future TH 5 improvements such as implementing access spacing
guidelines and preserving right of way there is a concerted effort by Mn DOT Carver County
and the affected communities to define potential future improvements to TH 5 This enables the
stakeholder communities to guide short and interim term state and local land use economic
development and traffic circulation decisions that support and compliment the longer term TH 5
improvement program
The intent of this study is to propose and analyze corridor concept alternatives to conduct initial
environmental screening that identifies fatal flaws to be avoided and to select a design concept
that can be carried into a future environmental study It will also identify the needed right of
way and access management strategies related to expanding TH 5 to a four lane roadway so that
future development and community planning decisions can be made that support and
complement the vision for TH 5 as funding for the planned improvements is secured
PURPOSE AND NEED OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of the proposed project is to maintain the function of TH 5 as a safe east west
minor arterial serving the growing communities of Chanhassen Victoria Waconia and
Norwood Young America
TH 5 Corridor Study 1 2 412008
269
The first step in the process of developing transportation alternatives is identifying the corridor s
needs Base on previously completed planning documents input from the Technical Committee
and TH 5 safety and performance data the following three primary needs have been identified
A Enhance mobility by improving capacity and operations on TH 5
B Improve safety within the TH 5 corridor
C Provide sufficient system linkage for the growing communities of Chanhassen Victoria
Waconia and Norwood Young America
A ENHANCING MOBILITY
The anticipated growth for western and central Carver County will increase demand for
upgraded transportation infrastructure Table I shows existing volumes in 2006 and 2030 base
travel demand volumes i e the 2030 volume on TH 5 if only currently programmed capacity
improvements are made for the six segments of the study corridor These forecasted volumes
were developed for the 2008 Carver County Transportation Plan Segments that exceed their
design capacity are highlighted in dark gray and those approaching capacity e g between 85
percent and 100 percent of their design capacity are highlighted in light gray in Table 1

Based on the 2006 volumes 5 5 miles or approximately 30 percent of the 18 mile study corridor
is currently congested i e daily volumes exceed the two lane rural undivided roadway s design
capacity of 15 000 vehicles per day Segments that are congested are shown in dark gray in
Figure 1 and Table 1 An additional 4 5 miles or approximately 25 percent of the 18 mile study
corridor is approaching congestion i e daily volumes exceed 85 percent of a two hme rural
undivided roadway s design capacity which is 12 750 vehicles per day Segments that are
approaching congestion are shown in light gray in Figure 1 and Table 1 When considering the
forecasted growth in vehicle trips in 2030 approximately 10 miles or over 50 percent of the 18
mile study corridor is expected to be congested
Existing and future capacity constraints on TH 5 result in recurring daily congestion throughout
the corridor As noted earlier improvements that increase capacity on TH 5 would allow for
greater volumes of traffic to flow through the area and decrease these operational delays The
need to expand and improve TH 5 is further documented in the current Mn DOT Metro TSP see
Table 2 however due to funding constraints none of these projects are programmed before

As rapid urbanization occurs along the corridor particularly in the communities of Victoria and
Waconia TH 5 will need to carry much more traffic In addition to causing congestion on TH 5
increases in traffic volumes throughout the study area are anticipated to divert regional traffic to
local streets therefore increasing congestion and decreasing safety in other locations An
ancillary concern for the local roadways is the impact of overflow TH 5 traffic on the small town
character of these communities The cities of Victoria and Waconia have designated TH 5 as
their primary commercial industrial corridor in their comprehensive plans with the aim to
concentrate urban uses adjacent to TH 5 while protecting the small town character outside of the
corridor If traffic congestion on TH 5 influences commuters to use alternate routes on local
roadways this will negatively impact the small town character of these communities Thus
TH 5 Corridor Study 4 2 412008
272
there is a need to examine capacity improvements on TH 5 that allow greater volumes of traffic
to flow through the area to address the recurring daily congestion
B IMPROVING SAFETY
Public safety is a high priority for all agencies responsible for maintaining and improving public
transportation facilities To evaluate potential safety problems on TH 5 a crash analysis was
performed as part of the Carver County Transportation Plan Update using MnlDOT and Carver
County crash records from 2001 2005 This investigation of crash data focused on identifying
problems at intersections and on roadway segments countywide with the resulting analysis
directly applicable to the TH 5 study corridor
The 2001 2005 crash data was used to calculate the overall crash rate for TH 5 which is 1 6
crashes per million vehicle miles traveled Compared to the statewide average crash rate for a
rural two lane undivided highway of 1 3 crashes per million vehicle miles traveled the TH 5
crash rate is over 20 percentage points higher than the statewide average crash rate Of particular
note is the rate of fatal crashes along TH 5 which is 1 62 crashes per hundred million vehicle
miles traveled Compared to the 2006 statewide average fatality rate for trunk highways of 0 95
crashes per hundred million vehicle miles traveled the rate of fatality crashes along TH 5 is over
70 percentage points higher than the statewide average

TH 5 Corridor Study 6 2 4 2008
274
In order to identify segments with high crash rates a comparison was made between Mn DOT
statewide average crash rates for rural two lane undivided highways and the crash frequency
and crash rate for discrete segments of TH 5 based on Average Daily Traffic ADT volumes
see Table 3 The Carver County Transportation Plan Update identified high crash segments as
those having a crash rate ratio greater than 1 5 times the statewide average crash rate for a rural
two lane undivided highway see Figure 2 This means that the crash rate for light gray and
dark gray segments in Figure 2 are at least 50 percent higher than the statewide average crash
rate for comparable roadways The crash rate ratio is calculated by dividing the TH 5 crash rate
column A in Table 3 by the statewide average crash rate column B in Table 3 Table 3 and
Figure 2 also identify high and low frequency crash segments as those with more than four
crashes per mile per year Using these criteria six locations along TH 5 have crash rate ratios
greater than 1 5 times the statewide average for a rural two lane undivided highway and more
than four crashes per mile per year The above average fatality rate and overall high crash rate
coupled with the six locations on TH 5 with high rates and high frequencies of crashes indicates
that further attention is needed to determine the appropriate safety improvements
C SYSTEM LINKAGE
TH 5 is the primary east west route serving the growing communities of Chanhassen Victoria
Waconia and Norwood Young America Table 4 shows that forecasted growth in population
and employment for these communities The City of Victoria is expected to grow in population
by almost 600 percent and by almost 500 percent in employment from 2000 to 2030 Although
the expected growth of Waconia Chanhassen and Norwood Young America is not as large as
Victoria they show sizeable population and employment growth as noted in Table 4 Within
Carver County downtown Waconia wherein the Ridgeview Medical Center is located is one of
the County s largest employment nodes Thus maintaining sufficient system linkage to
downtown Waconia is essential to maintaining the economic vitality for a key commercial center
within Carver County
TH 5 also functions as a main artery for Carver County in terms of providing access to medical
services The roadway not only provides critical system linkages for the cities of Victoria and
Waconia to the metropolitan area but it also serves as a vital connection between these growing
population and employment centers and Waconia s Ridgeview Medical Center which employs
1 300 people and operates 8 ambulances A well functioning TH 5 translates into shorter
response times for emergency and medical vehicles as well as patients wanting to access
hospital services Bob Stevenson Ridgeview Medical Center s CEO reported at a community
meeting in January 2008 that emergency response times had increased by five minutes over the
last five years due to congestion and other roadway deficiencies Furthermore there are
relatively few other medical options in the immediate vicinity with the nearest hospitals
approximately 20 miles away in Shakopee Glencoe and Arlington The Ridgeview Medical
Center has a service area of 732 square miles which covers all of Carver County and parts of
adjacent counties Given the limited availability of hospital services in the area access to
Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia via TH 5 is and will continue to be critically important
for many years to come

SUMMARY OF PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of this study is to investigate alternatives for TH 5 that would enhance mobility
improve safety and provide sufficient system linkages for the communities along the corridor
Based on this purpose the following three needs were identified for TH 5 that necessitate
improvements to the corridor
A Congestion currently exists in the TH 5 study area With no major capacity or safety
