Work Plan 2007
City Of Chanhassen
Introduction
The Work Plan is designed as a guide for the delivery of law enforcement services and
coordination with city resources The work plan allows for input from the City and
Sheriff s Office to develop a list of goals objectives work direction and or focus areas
The Work Plan is not meant to be all inclusive of the law enforcement mission in
Chanhassen but instead helps identify specific work direction concerns priorities or
areas of interest brought forth by City and Sheriff s Office officials and personnel
The Work Plan has been divided into four main categories
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
Goals objectives work direction focus areas related to
administration of the police contract and the work conducted by the
Contract Supervisor
LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS
Goals objectives work direction focus areas related to the work
conducted by the Contract Deputies and other law enforcement
services provided by the Sheriff s Office
CRIME PREVENTION I PUBLIC SAFETY EDUCATION
Goals objectives work direction focus areas related to the
coordination of work between the City Crime Prevention Public
Safety Education Specialist and the Sheriff s Office
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT I PARTICIPATION
Goals objectives work direction focus areas related to citizen
involvement in law enforcement and crime prevention issues and
the Sheriff s Office involvement in the community

CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
Law Enforcement RecordslReports
The Contract Supervisor will work with the Sheriff s Records Division to develop reports
for the City Council that outlines all of the felony and gross misdemeanor arrests that
are made in the city The Contract Supervisor will include that information in the
monthly reports that are made to the City Council The Contract Supervisor and the
Crime Prevention Specialist will continue to work with the Sheriff s Records Division to
develop reports for use in crime prevention programs deputy and community service
officer updates Project LeadFoot etc
The Contract Supervisor will continue to work on getting accurate and complete
information needed and requested by the City Manager City Council and Crime
Prevention Specialist
We have worked closely with Beth to get her the information that she needs for
crime prevention We have tried to keep the City Council updated on trends in
the city at Council meetings and through the City Manager We read each and
evereport that is generated by deputies in the city of Chanhassen We let the
City Manager know about reports that are serious or potentially controversial
We have put out updates to deputies and CSO s about areas where extra patrol is
needed because of activity or problems We go over the Monthly reports that are
generated by the Sheriff s Office for the city
Deputy Accountability
The Contract Supervisor will continue to have a direct role in supervision over the
deputies that are assigned to the City of Chanhassen
The Contract Supervisor will continue to meet with the City Manager to discuss law
enforcement issues pertaining to the city
I have daily contact with the deputies that work in the city I have direct
supervision with five of them and indirect supervision of the other seven I do
give work direction to all twelve of the deputies that work in the city
LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS
Business Contacts
The Contract Supervisor will establish a program in which deputies are assigned to
make routine businesses contacts in Chanhassen
The program will be coordinated by a Corporal who will coordinate with the Crime
Prevention Specialist to determine areas issues of concern The Corporal will have the
2
5
authority to assign deputies on all shifts to make contact with specific businesses and
these contacts will be documented
A program was developed and is currently being run by Cpl Jason Breunig The
City was divided up into 6 sections and a list of all businesses from those
sections was assigned out to individual deputies The goal is to contact every
business twice in a calendar year Deputies conducted business contacts in
their assigned district in the first three months of the year The Deputies have
currently started their second round of contacts During these contacts the
deputies get to know the individuals working there and are also updating the
business key holder list
Project LeadFoot
Project Leadfoot is a community approach to calming speed and traffic safety on
neighborhood streets Traffic complaints are a community problem and it needs a
community approach We have a number of options with Project Leadfoot and can
design a program for that neighborhood based on what their issues are Those options
can include educational strategies such as neighborhood flyers the new speed trailer
different signage and education for the complainant Traffic details and increased
enforcement are also components that can be included We have a hand held radar
unit that we can allow citizens to check out This allows them to monitor the traffic
themselves and if they do see a violation provide law enforcement with a license plate
number We can then send the registered owner a letter advising them of the problems
in the neighborhood
The Contract Supervisor and Crime Prevention Specialist will continue to promote
Project Leadfoot through the newspaper neighborhood watch meetings traffic safety
education position patrol deputies and at City Council meetings Project Leadfoot is a
valuable education tool The Contract Supervisor and Crime Prevention Specialist will
direct the CSQ S on placement of the new speed trailer An annual program review will
be conducted with the goal of updating and improving program components where
necessary
Project Leadfoot has not been used as much as I would like this year It is a good
idea and we have presented different components of it to city residents
Community involvement is key in Project Leadfoot I have introduced it several
neighborhoods recently and currently have one neighborhood interested in
participating
Traffic Enforcement Education
Traffic issues continue to be a major concern for residents of Chanhassen The
deputies have focused on traffic for the past year and will continue to focus on traffic
education and enforcement We will also look at ways to not only educate individual
drivers but also the residents at large about traffic laws and problem areas The
Contract Supervisor will continue to talk about problem traffic areas at council meetings
3
6
and in the paper The Contract Supervisor along with the Crime Prevention Specialist
will monitor and direct deputies to areas where they are seeing problems
We will continue to have a traffic education enforcement deputy in the city This deputy
will take direction from the Contract Supervisor The duties will be traffic related and will
include traffic complaints and traffic accidents The hours and days will be variable
depending on complaints and events and will be approved by the Contract Supervisor
This deputy will be proactive as well as reactive to problems and complaints that come
in regarding traffic issues This deputy will work with the Contract Supervisor and Crime
Prevention Specialist to try to creatively come up with solutions to problems with an
emphasis on prevention and education
The Contract Supervisor along with city staff will review empirical data regarding the
2007 traffic education enforcement efforts with the new traffic car position
Two projects related to traffic education and enforcement were implemented in
2007 Project Prop Squad was introduced and deployed in January of 2007 and
Operation SLOW DOWN was deployed in August of 2007 The Prop Squad is a
squad car with a mannequin in it that is placed throughout the city at different
times to deter criminal behavior when people see a squad car The second
Operation SLOW DOWN is a warning place under a speed limit sign that reads
RADAR PROJECT AREA The area where the signs are located is then targeted
every day by the assigned traffic car and other deputies A new area will be
established every couple of months on input from citizens city officials and
other deputies
Parks
As time and staffing allow deputies along with CSO s will patrol city parks to help to
ensure the safety of park users and deter problems Deputies will also do periodic foot
patrol as time permits in city parks looking for underage drinking curfew and other
offenses
The deputies countinue to monitor the parks on their routine patrol
lakes
The Sheriff s Office will continue enforcement and education in regards to boat safety
on the area lakes
The Sheriff s Office water patrol countinues to patrol the lakes in the City of
Chanhassen

The Contract Supervisor will coordinate enforcement strategy for the curfew ordinance
in an effort to combat crimes often associated with juveniles
The curfew ordinance was published in the Chanhassen Villager and also the
Connection to educate juveniles and parents of the curfew ordinance
Gang Activity
Gang activity is a recognized concern for our communities It is important to recognize
this issue and develop strategies and programs to respond to any potential concerns
In conjunction with other County and State resources deputies will continue to track and
identify gang members in the City of Chanhassen
Gang graffiti will be documented photographed and cleaned off as soon as possible
and feasible as per city ordinance
There has been very few reports of gang activity or graffiti in the city
Emergency Preparedness
The City Emergency Operations Plan is based on The Emergency Operations Plan for
the County This is very beneficial from a coordination and communication standpoint
This plan has been used frequently at different situations in the City as well as the
County and has been successful each time it has been used
If the city activates their Emergency Operations Center the Contract Supervisor will be
notified so that they can help coordinate City County and Fire Personnel
The Contract Supervisor as well as other County Personnel will coordinate and
disseminate information meet with the City of Chanhassen s Emergency Manager and
City Manager on a regular basis
The plan is in place and at this time has not been used this year

The City of Chanhassen has had 10 692 calls for service from January 1st 2006 through
the end of September 2006 This compares to 11 755 calls for the same time period in
2005 There were 1018 criminal calls for service during the same time period this year
compared to 883 last year
The biggest increase in criminal calls consisted of reports of theft and property damage
At the end of September 2005 there were 205 reports of theft In 2006 at the end of
September we had 280 reported thefts At the end of September 2005 we had 173
reports of property damage At the same time this year we had 182 reports of property
damage
Our goal in Chanhassen is the prevention of these and other crimes through education
community involvement and enforcement and by pro actively investigating crimes and
finding those responsible
As the supervising Sgt I also want to see my staff grow and develop in their careers I
plan on providing specific areas of responsibility to deputies to allow them to make the
most of their careers to learn additional areas of the profession and to utilize their
strengths to better serve the citizens of Chanhassen
Goals Strengthen relationship with the Chanhassen business community by providing
face to face business contacts with store management and employees
The occasional utilization of unmarked patrol vehicles to patrol residential and
business neighborhoods to allow for an increased chance of catching potential
criminal violations in the act
To proactively prevent and enforce curfew violations through foot patrol of
problem areas by informing the public of the ordinance through media outlets
and by enforcing violations we encounter
To begin looking at dividing the City into districts e g North and South to
provide for specific areas of patrol responsibility for deputies during a shift
To utilize the Corporal position for business contacts and public relations events

I would recommend for 2008 that Chanhassen contract for an investigator from the
Sheriff s Office This position would be based out of city hall and would be supervised
by the Contract Supervisor The Contract Supervisor would assign the contract
investigator cases which would include theft from vehicles vandalisms minor assaults
and other cases as needed The county wide investigator would continue to concentrate
on the larger felony type of cases The Sheriff s Office and city staff will continue to
monitor case loads and will evaluate staffing options for the 2008 police contract
I would also recommend that in 2009 an additional patrol deputy position be added and
that the discussion approval for this position begin in December 2008 After hiring This
will allow for an additional power shift to be assigned to work Team 1 which works
Sunday Tuesday and every other Saturday The current power shift is not assigned to
a specific team and works Wednesday Saturday
I propose to alter the schedule and assign the two power shifts to teams so each team
would have an additional deputy 1 corporal and three patrol deputies every night This
will allow for increased directed patrol to address safety issues on a proactive basis

Water Supply Update PW024
September 10 2007
SUBJ
BACKGROUND
Water Supply Update
Barr Engineering Company was retained by the City to look into the possible cause of
low yields in City Well Nos 2 5 and 6 that began in mid summer 2007 and continue
to persist WellNos 5 and 6 pump from a sand gravel deposit that sits on top of
gravelly clay Well No 2 pumps from the underlying Prairie du Chien Jordan
bedrock aquifer Barr evaluated the geology pumping and groundwater flow
conditions in the eastern part of Chanhassen anct modified an existing computer
model of groundwater flow of the area
Barr has preliminarily concluded that there is likely a connection1 etween the Prairie
du Chien Jordan aquifer and the sand gravel deposit in the vicinity of Well Nos 2 5
and 6 where the gravelly clay layer that separates the sand gravel deposits from the
bedrock is thin or absent This sand gravel unit covers about 6 12 square miles but in
most areas it is only a few feet thick it is thickest in the vicinity of Well Nos 5 and
6 Above normal groundwater pumping from the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer in
southwestern Hennepin County and southeastern Carver County as caused a mod st
and probably temporary drop in pressures inthe Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer
However lower water levels in the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer have likely
resulted in a slow drop in water levels within the sand gravel deposit in the form of
leakage where the gravelly clay separating layer is thin or absent The sand gravel
unit does not receive much recharge from above because it is overlain by thick clay
deposits most of its recharge has likely come as upward flow from the Prairie du
Chien Jordan aquifer during times when water levels in the Prairiedu Chien Jordan
aquifer were higher This is probably not a condition that would have revealed itself
by testing
Well No 11 continues to supply water from the sand gravel unit but this well is
screened deeper and can tap into water in the bottom of the sand gravel aquifer Well
Nos 5 and 6 have very little available draw down and will not yield much water
unless regional groundwater levels rebound Some rebound may occur this winter but
it is unlikely that storage within the sand and gravel aquifer will be replenished before
next summer s high demand period Because of the close proximity of Well Nos 2
5 and 6 future pumping of Well No 2 will likely cause significant well interference
effects that will render Well Nos 5 and 6 unusable in the future
The City of Chanhassen A growing community with clean lakes quality schools a charming downtown thriving businesses winding trails and beautiful parks A great place to live work and play13
T odd Gerhardt
Water Supply Update
September 10 2007
It is preliminarily recommended that the pump in Well No 2 be lowered to near the
bottom of the well it is currently set with the pump intake at the top of the Prairie du
Chien This should restore the yield of this well for future use However future
pumping of Well No 2 will likely render Well Nos 5 and 6 unusable An additional
Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer well should be drilled to make up for some of the loss
from Well Nos 5 and 6 This new well should be preferably at least 1 000 feet from
another high capacity well The Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer is generally a much
more reliable source of water than the glacially deposited sand gravel aquifers in the
area It is also recommended that the so called Junior High School Well a City
standby well in the Prairie du Chien Jordan aquifer be put into service with the pump
installed as deep as practical The City will need to work with the Department of
Natural Resources and Department of Health staff in permitting these wells
Sprinkling Ordinance Recommended Changes
Staff would like to have the City Council consider changes to the City Code regarding
Lawn Sprinkling Based on the finding from this summer s water supply problem staff
would like to request two changes to the code
1 Prohibit lawn sprinkling from lO a m to 5 p m daily The normal daily high
water demand periods are from 3 30 a m to 9 a m and then again from 6 00 p m
to 11 p m During these peak demands water is drawn out of the water towers
The time between 9 a in and 6 p m is critical for the system to catch up before
the next peak demand occurs By restricting sprinkling during the daytime hours
the system would have time to catch up and hopefully stop pumping for a time
This should allow the aquifers some time to recharge and not be constantly
pumped This change is required because currently demand during the day does
not allow the water towers to fill up and the system to rest before the next peak
period Also during the summer days it is not recommended to water during the
day since a substantial amount of the water is lost to evaporation
As a reference other communities that do not allow watering during the day are
Bumsville Eden Prairie Edina Hopkins Lakeville Minnetonka Plymouth St
Louis Park and Savage
2 Staff is also recommending changing the odd even sprinkling restriction to year
round Currently the oddeven restriction is from May 1 to September 30 This
change would make it easier for property owners to follow the ordinance and not
potentially have to change settings on sprinkler systems seasonally Based on
research established lawns do not need to be watered on a daily basis Watering
every other day is sufficient to keep a healthy lawn New sod or seed would be
exempt from this restriction by a no fee permit
This change would also make our ordinance more consistent with other
surrounding communities Other communities that have a year round oddeven
lawn sprinkling ordinance include Eden Prairie Edina Minnetonka Savage
Eagan and Bumsville

3 HISTORIC PRESERVATION
3 0 INTRODUCTION
This is the first time that the city has included a historic preservation section in the
Comprehensive Plan With the rural portion of the city ripe for development and the desire to
preserve the city s history it is the appropriate time to formalize the city s goals for historic
preservation
3 1 BACKGROUND
The history of Chanhassen begins in many places It begins in Germany where social unrest
moved some to travel across an ocean to find a new home It begins in western Massachusetts in
small towns in the Connecticut River Valley It begins in the halls of Congress as the United
States government decided how to distribute land The area that we know as Chanhassen had its
own history as well Native American populations lived there for thousands ofyears Research
projects show evidence ofhabitation around Lake Susan Minnewashta and Lotus Lake as early
as 6000 BC For one hundred years the Dakota were the primary native group moving into the
land and displacing the Iowa people sometime in the 1750 s They had no major villages in
Carver County In 1851 the treaties ofTransvers de Sioux and Mendota provided a cash
payment to Native Americans in return for the land Within weeks settlers began staking
claims Source Chanhassen A Centennial History
The Preemption Act of 1841 a statute passed by the U S Congress permitted settlers to stake a
claiin of 160 acres and after about 14 months of residency to purchase it from the government
for as little as 1 25 an acre before it was offered for public sale Congress repealed the
Preemption Act in 1891
The first wave of German immigration to America came when Minnesota lands opened for sale
A German Colony gathered around a lake Since all the families came from Bavaria many
began to refer to the lake by that name The Northampton Colony migrated from several towns
in the Connecticut River Valley and settled around Lake Minnewashta In 1887 the Franciscan
Brothers relinquished title to the property around St Hubert s Church and the town of Saint
Hubertus was platted When the Village of Chanhassen was organized in 1896 St Hubertus
opted for the traditional name of Chanhassen On April 21 1896 Chanhassen was incorporated
as a village government

When the population of a township exceeds 2 000 the Minnesota Municipal Commission
MMC is required to hold a hearing to determine its legal future Chanhassen Township was the
largest piece ofunincorporated land in Carver County and became a target for the competing
interests oflocal governments Chaska made the first move petitioning to annex 3800 acres of
Chanhassen Township including the new Hazeltine Golf Course and the proposed New Town
of Jonathan developed by the McKnight Corporation After a year of study and debate the
MMC approved the annexation In one legal maneuver Chanhassen lost its southwest comer
The township board was outraged and fought the ruling all the way to the Minnesota Supreme
Court where they lost Victoria began consideration to annex the northwest comer The
township permanently lost sections to Chaska and Victoria
The MMC issued an order in December 1966 that the township and village would merge ifthere
were no objections within the community On May 2 1967 the merger was approved by a vote
oftwo to one Chanhassen Township was dissolved Source Chanhassen A Centennial
History
3 2 PRESERVATION
Historic Preservation is the act of maintaining and repairing existing historic materials and the
retention of a property s form as it has evolved over time When considering the United States
Department of Interior s interpretation Preservation calls for the existing form materials
features and detailing of aproperty to be retained and preserved This may include preliminary
measures to protect and stabilize it prior to undertaking other workor protection and
stabilization may be an end in itself for example in an archeological project Historic
Preservation is a vital tool in the effort to save historic buildings and locales It helps maintain a
community s historical roots and provides various educational opportunities
In the City of Chanhassen the focus will be on buildings and places that are unique time
sensitive culturally or socially important or architecturally significant
Between December 3 1997 and April 27 1998 the City undertook a study of Old Town and
attempted to create a historic overlay district Property owners opposed restrictions on their
properties that would impose limitations on exterior improvements and remodeling They
welcomed guidelines but not ordinances
The state and county playa role in historic preservation The state is in charge of making
recommendations of properties that are worthy ofnominations as historic properties or sites The
recommendation is forwarded to the Keeper of the National Registrar ofHistorical Places
The Carver County Historical Society s role and mission is to collect and preserve artifacts and
objects
Carver County was awarded a grant and hired The 106 Group Ltd to identify historically
significant sites This process included sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places
sites eligible for National Register ofHistoric Places and a photo of the property
The 106 Group Ltd phased their study into stages
3 3
25
Stage 1 Baseline Data
Obtain data on the known historic archaeological and cultural resources
Stage 2 Develop Priorities
Delve further into the identification of additional previously unidentified
historic resources
Stage 3 Survey and Policy Development

and formulate policies with regard to the protection and preservation of
those resources
Based on the available information the City will establish a Recognition Program of historic
properties and buildings with owner s consent designed to encourage private property owners to

3 2 1 Historic Buildings and Structures
The City contains a number of structures that embody its architectural and cultural heritage The
City will continue to encourage the preservation interpretation and active reuse of privately
owned historic buildings and structures and will work to protect such buildings and structures to
the extent feasible during the development process The City will also continue to preserve and
restore the historic structures it owns
3 2 2 Landmark Preservation
Whenever possible landmarks should be preserved on the site where they are located Failing
that they may be moved if feasible A demolished landmark may be commemorated in one or
more ofthe following ways
1 Naming the new structure in honor ofthe old
2 Inclusion of some architectural features ofthe original structure in the new structure
3 A display area in the new structure which may include photographs or other memorabilia
of the old structure or site

2007 Maxfield Research Inc completed a Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment for Carver
County Community Development agency for the years 2005 2015 and 2015 2030 A significant
portion ofthe data comes from this study as well as from the U S Census Metropolitan Council
and the City of Chanhassen

Chanhassen According to the Maxfield Study the current vacancy rate in Chanhassen is 4 6
The City anticipates additional rental housing based on the fact that the majority ofjobs are
located in the eastern portion of the County and the desire to locate housing in conjunction with
transit or commercial centers

4 13 Housing Condition
Over one half of the City s existing housing inventory is over 20 years old In response to
maintaining the value of this older housing the City adopted a rental housing requirement and
property maintenance code 2002
The purpose of the property maintenance code is to set a minimum requirement and standard for
premises structure equipment and facilities for light ventilation space heating sanitation and
protection from the elements life safety safety from fire and other hazards and safe and sanitary
maintenance the responsibility of owners operators and occupants the occupancy of existing
structures and premises and for administration and enforcement and penalties The success of
this ordinance is the maintenance of older housing stock The maintenance of the existing
housing provides the continuation of a wide range of housing options especially with the
acceleration of the cost in new housing
The rental license requirement is intended to protect the public health safety and welfare of the
citizens of the City who have a rental unit The City has over 1 000 rental units of which 700 are
traditional apartments The remaining 300 plus rentals are homes duplexes or townhouses The
license requirements add to the protection ofthose renting

The largest segment ofthe population 38 is between 35 to 54 years old The median age of
the population is 355 The Maxfield study stated the following regarding the demographics of
the County
With the aging ofthe baby boom generation the greatest growth in Carver County from 2006
to 2020 will be among people age 55 to 75 as their population is projected to triple in 14
years
The aging ofthe baby boom generation will result in strong growth of an older adult
population and an influx of younger and middle aged individuals and families to the County
will result in steady growth of the 25 to 44 year oIds This steady growth will result in
continued demand for single family homes and for sale town homes
Communities in eastern Carver County will see a greater percentage of seniors young adults
and older adults These increases will be due to the aging of the existing population young
adults and adults seeking rental housing near employment centers and older adults with
greater means purchasing more expensive housing
While new single family homes are predominately executive homes area lot prices affect
this cost A survey in January 2007 revealed lot prices in Chanhassen were 230 000 It is
estimated that the price of a lot is at least one quarter of the price of a home therefore the
price of 900 000 is anticipated

buyers earning 80 ofthe area median income or a home price at 201 800 in 2006 In the
Housing Choice Voucher program units must have rents below the Metro HRA Payment

Currently the City has a home ownership rate of89 6 With an average price on new
multifamily homes being 225 000 and the average resale price of 194 000 the ability of the
City to provide affordable ownership housing is less problematic
The City is moving toward meeting their housing goals in all areas except affordable rental
housing With the price ofland and construction costs the City alone cannot provide the amount
of assistance required to provide affordable housing The City is meeting the density goals as
shown on the City plat monitoring sheet in Table 20

5 NATURAL RESOURCES
5 1 INTRODUCTION
The City of Chanhassen recognizes the importance of its natural environment to the quality of
life for its citizens and the need to protect and enhance these resources This chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan outlines the accomplishments challenges and future goals for the city s
natural resources As development places further pressures on the city s resources challenges
and limitations will need to be met head on with creativity and a commitment to a community
privileged with environmental assets Proper management of the natural environment will also
be vital in maintaining the value of these resources
While there will be constraints and obstacles to implementing any program or policy pertaining
to the environment Chanhassen acknowledges the necessity and importance of its natural
resources Past experience proves that multiple jurisdictions time constraints and funding
constraints do not necessarily discourage or limit progress in the natural resources agenda Nor
should the community s natural resources deter appropriate and sustainable development
Rather the two should serve to complement one another to create a balanced community with a
high quality oflife for all residents Sustainability in natural resources and development will be
crucial to preserving and enhancing the environmental amenities of this community The long
term impacts ofboth should be weighed considered and integrated into all future development
Only by retaining the valued environmental qualities will the city be able to sustain this
component of the high quality of life experienced by Chanhassen residents This chapter should
reflect the city s commitment to the utilization conservation management and preservation of
its natural resources
5 2 NATURAL COMMUNITIES
Within the City of Chanhassen a variety of
natural communities exist from lowland
forests and deciduous woodlands to bluffs
restored prairies wetlands lakes rivers and
streams Each of these communities is
comprised ofunique components as well as
shared qualities Because oftheir value
related to both their individuality and their
interconnectedness Chanhassen strives to
preserve and protect this variety of
environments and ensure that they are well
managed and protected in perpetuity where
possible As the City of Chanhassen s
developed area expands existing natural
communities will face the threat of elimination or restrictions oftheir physical area Forests
prairies and other undeveloped lands add to the community by providing scenic vistas vital
habitat and natural beauty appreciated by residents businesses and trail and park users
5 1

In Chanhassen there are currently many acres ofundeveloped public land Some of this
property is located within existing parks while the rest is comprised of random tracts of land not
in named parks or official public sites The highest quality and largest areas have been acquired
through purchase or dedication and this procedure will need to continue to preserve other vital
areas as the city develops This is especially true ofthe Seminary Fen where eight rare native
plants were documented as present in a plant inventory done by the Minnesota Biological County
Survey This particular area deserves a special note for its rare quality A zoning overlay district
for this watershed shall be considered in order to protect this vital and rare amenity within the
City of Chanhassen It is reasonable to assume that other rare or endangered species do exist
within Chanhassen such as the rare natural communities that include Silver Lake the bluffs of
Bluff Creek and the Minnesota River and remnants of the Big Woods
With large areas of natural communities under the
management of the city a number of issues must be
addressed in order for the value of the areas to
continue and improve An overall Natural Resources
Management Plan NRMP must be developed to
guide and prioritize restoration management and
protection of each area The Management Plan will
serve to outline future improvements in all public
natural areas Within this plan other issues related to
natural communities can also be addressed These include invasive species control and
eradication natural area protection monitoring and assessment The Management Plan will
complement the Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan by covering the
entire city and focusing broadly on all communities and their needs The Bluff Creek plan will
continue to guide water quality issues and planning within its watershed but a broader plan is
necessary to meet the needs of natural areas
throughout the city To improve public awareness
and garner public support it is important for the
community to provide a vision for these resources
and incorporate the ideals and realities of this vision
into a city management plan Other opportunities
for improvements in the natural areas can be further
dedication or acquisition of properties connecting
larger tracts together increasing public access to
these areas and creating publicprivate partnerships
for restoration projects

The city should develop and use an inventory as a standard for identifying high priority natural
communities protect sensitive natural communities and connect areas By identifying these
areas for future protection and using a scientific assessment in order to document the value and
importance of a natural community a base line for that site will be created for future reference
and to create management plans

5 2 2 Urban Forestry
According to a stewardship plan and community tree cover inventory conducted by the MnDNR
it was found that historically the City ofChanhassen was covered by the Big Woods so called
5 4
48
by the surveyors of the federal government during the laying out of the township and range lines
in the 1830s This forest stretched from southeastern to northwestern Minnesota The large
deciduous forest consisted of fifteen tree species and several species of shrubs forbs herbs
wildflowers and grasses Some ofthe most common tree species included sugar maple
American linden northern red oak bur oak ash and elm Close to seventy percent of the city
was forested by these woods while the other thirty percent was comprised of wetlands open
water and oak savannah openings
Some of the most prominent natural features in the city are the forested areas that exist within the
community They are important determinants of the city s image health and livability and as
such should be preserved Trees are indicators of a community s ecological health and have a
substantiated role in economics as can be seenby the premiums paid for wooded residential lots
Tree cover can also be termed green infrastructure because in addition to the aesthetic and social
contributions there are public economic benefits It is well documented that trees reduce air and
noise pollution storm water run offand the heat island effect all of which affects a city s or
property owner s expenditures on energy and storm water retention The forests that once
covered this city were cleared for agricultural purposes Scattered woodlots remained but the
majority of land was used for farming Slowly as agriculture has given way to residential and
commercial development tree cover has increased providing residents and businesses with the
many inherent benefits The larger tracts of wooded areas that have grown for the last 50 100
years are now threatened by development Finding a means ofpreserving these few
unfragmented forests will be crucial to retaining the existing habitat aesthetic value public
economic benefit and vital link to the past
Downtown Chanhassen 1954 and 2001
Coo
Directly due to these benefits tree preservation and planting are important in maintaining the
city s environmental health economic and social viability and ecosystem services The goal of
the City of Chanhassen will be to increase tree cover throughout the city even as development
continues What will be needed in order to reach that goal will be preservation oflarge tracts of
woods and creation of a diversity of species in order to reduce the impact of insect and disease
outbreaks community tree planting programs and viable public tree management plans and
policies Many opportunities are available to help meets these needs Dedication and acquisition
ofland cluster development tree planting programs public improvement policy which states
that trees and landscaping will be an element within all public projects development of a forestry
5 5
49
management plan and a tree cover analysis are all ways to achieve outstanding green
infrastructure
The City of Chanhassen can be a leafy city with above average landscaping and a healthy viable
and diverse urban forest To ensure these qualities aForestry Management Plan should be
developed within the NRMP and used to outline forestry policy determine long term goals and
objectives as well as management practices and procedures Continually updating the city s
public tree inventory will also serve to guide the course of future management and plantings
Conducting a tree cover analysis ofthe city will also be useful and a review ofthe city
ordinances pertaining to trees should be implemented after the analysis Areas found lacking as
well as points of strength should be incorporated in the Management Plan Being able to identify
now what needs to be done in the future will assist in streamlining forestry efforts in order to best
utilize the time money and effort spent on forestry responsibilities
5 3 WATER RESOURCES
Water resources pose specific constraints as well as opportunities for recreation and enjoyment
However in order to consider physical parameters within the planning process it is first
necessary to prioritize Chanhassen s water resources based on quality of the resource Upon
identification policies can be established to minimize impacts while maximizing enhancement
of the water resource and its benefit to the community
The current condition of the majority ofChanhassen s surface water bodies is very good and
water quality trends show general improvement However there are some exceptions to this
trend The City of Chanhassen identifies the need to address these waters and develop a plan to
improve and protect all City surface waters
In 1994 the City ofChanhassen adopted a Surface Water Management Plan SWMP which
identified the need for protection oflakes and wetlands This plan identified the City s wetlands
identified each lake s watershed district and each sub watershed district The plan also provided
a design for using existing wetlands and creating new wetlands to manage water quantity and
5 6
50
improve water quality In this plan a new criteria was developed for the acceptable quantity and
quality of runoff from new developments
In August 2006 the City ofChanhassen adopted its Second Generation Surface Water
Management Plan SWMp2 which identified a new set of goals and policies for Chanhassen s
water resources The SWMp2 was written to serve the City as atool to protect preserve and
enhance its water resources The plan identifies from aregional perspective the stormwater
quantity and quality improvements necessary to allow future development to take place and
minimize its impact to downstream water bodies These goals included providing 1 DO year flood
protection management classifying all surface water bodies achieving water quality standards in
lakes streams and wetlands minimizing erosion and sediment establishing and maintaining
water resources funding sources maintaining primary management responsibility while
continuing to coordinate and cooperate with other agencies and organizations and providing
water resources information and education to the public
Water resources impact both community planning and site planning efforts In site planning
quality of the resource potential impacts hydrology and drainage are all major considerations
In Chanhassen four main surface water features dominate in the area They include lakes
wetlands creeks and river corridors Each of these water resources are reviewed as follows
5 3 1 Lakes
Chanhassen contains nine major lakes all but three of which lie solely within the community s
boundaries These lakes serve as habitat for fish and wildlife as well as offer scenic and
recreational opportunities for residents The City of Chanhassen has already established a set of
protective measures for its lakes The current zoning ordinance establishes a shoreland overlay
district that was consistent with guidelines established by the Minnesota Department ofNatural
Resources Currently the City s shoreline alterations ordinance is more restrictive than those
required by the DNR and area watershed districts
5 7
51
While the water quality data in most ofChanhassen s major lakes show improving trends the
City of Chanhassen acknowledges that further progress and protection is needed In order to
achieve these goals the City is committed to developing short and long term lake management
strategies to improve and manage these valuable water resources As a part of these strategies
each lake has been given a water management classification based on current water quality
conditions and management strategy These classifications can be found in Table 20 SWMp2

Water quality impacts come from two sources which are broken down into point and non point
source pollution Point source pollution is relatively easy to identify since it is typically generated
5 8
52
by a single use or source Fortunately Chanhassen lakes with the exception of Rice Marsh Lake
have not been subjected to point source discharges Rice Marsh Lake had previously been used
as a discharge point for the area s old sewer treatment facility Most agricultural use another
major pollution source has since been eliminated However their impacts have left a significant
residue of organic material on lake bottoms
Non point source pollution represents a significant potential impact to Chanhassen s lakes and is
much more difficult to control since by definition there is no one particular source Examples
of non point source pollution include fertilizers spread on residential properties that runoff into
area lakes and storm sewer outflows that flush organic materials from streets and paved surfaces
into water bodies This runoff has been found to have a high nutrient content which contributes
to high nutrient loads within area lakes Excessive nutrient levels increase the amount of algae
within a lake reduce visibility and eventually reduce the amount of oxygen available for fish
populations In order to reduce the impacts of stormwater runoff the City requires all new
developments to provide ponding that manages both water quality and increased quantities
The City of Chanhassen continues to monitor current conditions ofits lakes through aquatic
vegetation surveys lake water quality studies and lake monitoring data The City currently
participates in the Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program CAMP in coordination with the
Metropolitan Council where lake monitoring data including clarity temperature and ph levels
are collected by citizens and compiled by the Metropolitan Council

Lake management plans have also been developed for the major lakes within the city including
Lotus Lake Lake Riley Lake Minnewashta Lake Ann Lake Lucy Lake Susan and Christmas
Lake These reports are updated bi annually with water quality tests and lake plant inventories
These plans list goals for increasing fish populations reducing nutrient loading dealing with
exotic species and providing advice for landscaping to improve water quality The City also has
a no wake ordinance that protects lake shore from wave action during extreme high water
periods
A discussion and description of each lake is also available in the SWMp2 These descriptions and
discussions include water quality and quantity data plant communities as well as water quality
including invasive species present and recommendations including proposed stormwater ponds
5 9
53
for each lake As development and property valuations on lakeshore lots increase the demand
for services to manage the problems arising on City lakes will also increase Future lake
management within Chanhassen must balance protecting and improving water quality
preventing overuse and abuse of the resources while maintaining accessibility for all
Chanhassen residents
5 3 2 Wetlands
In 1992 the state of Minnesota passed the Wetland Conservation Act WCA which put wetland
protection and preservation into law The goal of this act is to replace wetlands lost to previous
activities and to prevent the loss of existing wetlands Wetland identification and protection have
become integral parts of all development throughout the entire state including the City of
Chanhassen
The City of Chanhassen has had wetland protection ordinances in place since 1980 and continues
to take the lead on the issue of wetlands and their protection The City s 1994 Surface Water
Management Plan SWMP included identification and reclassification of wetlands within the
City In 2006 the SWMp2 was adopted which brought about further updates in City wetland
management and classification From this plan a wetlands map was generated and a new
wetland classification system was implemented replacing the prior classification system
The City adopted five levels of wetland identification Outstanding Preserve Manage 1
Manage 2 and Manage 3 Outstanding wetlands are identified as wetlands that are classified as
Outstanding Resource Value Waters by the State of Minnesota Preserve wetlands are wetlands
identified as exceptional and have the highest function or those sensitive wetlands receiving
conveyed stormwater runoff that have yet retained a medium level of vegetative diversity and
integrity Manage 1 wetlands are identified as high quality wetlands that should be protected
from development and other pressures of increased use Manage 2 wetlands are wetlands that
provide medium functional levels and the extent of these wetlands should be maintained
Manage 3 wetlands are wetlands that have been substantially disturbed and have the lowest
functions and values
Wetland specialists made field identification of wetlands throughout the community and detailed
data sheets documenting vegetation landscape and existing conditions were compiled These
data sheets serve only as a guide for the City and are not to be used as the defining wetland
boundaries Wetland boundaries are to be determined by professional delineations conducted by
parties who propose to impact or develop land in and around these areas In addition any
proposed development will be required to delineate their sites for the existence of wetlands
The Seminary F en located north of old Highway 212 in the southwest comer ofthe City
possesses unique and significant qualities which has given it an Outstanding classification In
1995 the Seminary Fen was identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey as the most
important site in all of Hennepin Carver and Scott Counties There are approximately 90 acres
of calcareous seepage fen in this area with rare and threatened plant species Its special
characteristics are a product of the groundwater flowing through the up gradient aquifer and
glacial till in this particular location The trout stream Assumption Creek flows through the
5 10
54
Seminary Fen Assumption Creek is the only trout stream in Carver County and one of only 15
trout streams in the metropolitan area
The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 identified calcareous fens for protection and requires the
development of a fen management plan for any project that might cause adverse impacts to such
wetlands The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has the jurisdictional power to
approve such plans Planned land uses adjacent to the Seminary Fen wetland complex include
rural residential to the north agricultural estate to the east and south and fringe business to the
west An HCRRA Regional Trail Corridor bisects the Fen
The most important factor in ensuring the protection of this site is the integrity ofthe hydrologic
system With adjacent land uses development pressure is present While several public and
private organizations have been working together to acquire the property for public preservation
a city implemented overlay district would provide unilateral protection ofthe site Important
factors to be included in the district consist of impervious surface limitations thermal stormwater
discharge regulations slope protection preservation of subsurface drainage required easement
or outlot dedication stormwater pretreatment rate and volume control restriction on unnatural
inputs native community management and sustainable landscaping
With the change in wetland laws the regulation of wetlands has also changed The Minnesota
Board of Water and Soil Resources BWSR oversee the regulation ofthe WCA for the State of
Minnesota Local Governing Units LGUs implement the WCA for wetland activities
Chanhassen was appointed as LGU and acts as the sole governing agency for activities in its own
City The City has developed its own comprehensive wetland plan as part ofthe SWMp2 While
the City acts as a LGU partnership with other government entities is consistently sought and
necessary
5 11
55
The SWMp2 also initiated ordinances to protect wetlands above the requirements of the WCA
In addition to building setback requirements each type of wetland also requires an additional
protected area referred to as buffer zones These buffer zones are undisturbed areas between
wetlands and development The goal is to have natural vegetation separation to act as cover for
wildlife and provide protection from urban runoff All primary and secondary structures are
required to meet setbacks and buffer strip requirements by wetland classification as illustrated

5 3 3 Creek and River Corridors
The City of Chanhassen lies within multiple watershed districts These include the Lower
Minnesota River Watershed District the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the Riley
Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District
Chanhassen is fortunate to have significant natural amenities in the form of creek and river
corridors The community is bisected by Bluff Creek and Riley Creek Assumption Creek the
only native trout stream in Carver County flows through the Seminary Fen to the Minnesota
River at the City s southern boundary These corridors represent significant visual environmental
and recreational amenities for the community The creek corridors create ideal locations for City
trails The creeks which often have adjacent wetlands and steep slopes also form ideal
boundaries between incompatible uses as well as linear park corridors connecting different parts
of the city
The Minnesota River Assumption Creek and the adjacent bluff line constitute an extraordinarily
high quality environmental and visual element within the community The river bottom is
protected as aNational Wildlife Refuge To the extent that it is feasible to do so the City of
Chanhassen promotes efforts to preserve these bluff areas The bluffs which are visible from
distant locations overlook the river and contain steep often unusable slopes and stands of mature
vegetation The City has enacted bluff protection ordinances and comprehensive ordinances
regarding mining in this area to preserve the scenic amenity and environment of the river valley
If an overlay district for the Seminary Fen were to be adopted protection of Assumption Creek
and its rare qualities would be assured
As part of its continued effort to protect natural resources the City adopted the Bluff Creek
Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan December 1996 This plan is the City of
Chanhassen s response to preservation of its natural resources in the midst ofrapid growth and
development pressures The idea behind the plan was to identify the significant natural features
found along the Bluff Creek Corridor and establish guidelines and goals on how to preserve and
protect the area before development occurs The management plan identifies and describes the
topography soils vegetation wildlife wetlands parks and trails and land use within the Bluff
Creek watershed area Currently the watershed is in a state of land use transition due to the
community s growth and development Bluff Creek itself will experience increasing volumes of
runoff associated with development in the coming years Approximately 40 of the watershed is
undeveloped The final plan is the result of a collaborative effort between local private and public
parties
The Bluff Creek Watershed is named after Bluff Creek which runs approximately 6 6 miles
along the central part of the watershed The creek winds its way through from a large wetland
complex southeast of Lake Minnewashta through rolling hills and descends into large bluffs
dropping more than 70 feet into the lower valley before discharging into Rice Lake and the
Minnesota River The Bluff Creek Watershed is approximately 9 6 square miles and runs north
to south along the western portion ofChanhassen The watershed also includes Chanhassen s
most significant remaining natural resource the Seminary Fen and Assumption Creek
5 13
57
The Bluff Creek Overlay District was adopted in 1998 This district covers the Bluff Creek
Watershed and protects this natural resource through guided development by preserving natural
condition establishing a primary protection zone requiring structure setbacks and buffers
connecting open areas and providing public access and education
5 3 4 Groundwater Protection
Chanhassen s entire water supply is generated from deep wells and it is imperative that our
community seek to protect and preserve this resource Groundwater protection requires a two
track approach The first is the protection ofrecharge areas that serve to allow the resource to be
naturally replenished To this end the City is fortunate to have extensive lake areas large areas
ofpermanently dedicated public open space and an active wetland protection program that will
preserve the most sensitive of these areas The second part of the approach requires the
protection of the resource from impact by sources of pollution To this end the City has
undertaken the following
1 Ensure that all abandoned wells are permanently and securely capped to avoid direct
introduction of pollution into the aquifer
2 Undertake and improve inspections and approval programs for on site sewage systems
and when necessary replacing these systems with public sanitary sewer
3 Active in the removal ofleaking underground storage tanks and the treatment of
contaminated soils that result The City has undertaken this on several properties that
were subject to redevelopment activities and has cooperatively worked with private
individuals who have encountered such problems It is anticipated that these efforts will
continue
5 14
58
The State of Minnesota requires all cities including the City ofChanhassen to develop a ground
water protection plan The City of Chanhassen is completing its wellhead and source water
protection plan for its eight existing municipal wells This report is Part II of the Plan and it
includes the following
A review of the data elements
The results ofthe potential contaminant source inventory
A review of changes issues problems and opportunities related to the public water
supply and the identified potential contaminant sources
A detailed discussion of the potential contaminant source management strategies and
corresponding goals objectives and action plans
A review of the wellhead source water protection evaluation program and alternative
water supply contingency strategy
Part I of the Plan was completed in May 2001 In Part I ofthe Plan the Wellhead Protection
Areas WHPAs and Drinking Water Supply Management Areas DWSMAs were delineated
and vulnerability assessments ofthe wells and corresponding DWSMAs were completed The
municipal wells and source water aquifers within the DWSMAs were determined to be
nonvulnerable to surficial contamination due to the overlying geologic confining units and
construction of the wells The Chanhassen wellhead and source water protection program is
concentrating its efforts on other wells within the city and specifically within the DWSMAs In
addition the program includes providing educational opportunities for Chanhassen residents
regarding wellhead and source water protection and gathering new or updated information for
future revisions to the Plan
NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM NPDES PHASE II
MUNICIP AL SEP ARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM MS4 STORM WATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION PLAN SWPPP
The City ofChanhassen is required to operate under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System NPDES Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System MS4 Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan SWPPP permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
MPCA under the Clean Water Act in order to discharge stormwater The SWPPP provides a
plan for Best Management Practices BMPs for which the City assumes responsibility in order
to obtain these goals The City s stormwater conveyance system collects and conveys urban
runoff and stormwater that may contain certain pollutants to surface water resources This
system requires a combination of routine maintenance and occasional repairs in order to function
properly The City conducts inspection and maintenance ofthe system as part ofthe
requirements ofthe City s NPDES permit program in order to comply with the obligations of
the NPDES program as a first priority In doing so the City will reduce the amount of pollutants
entering water resources the occurrences of localized flooding and the overall long term costs
associated with its stormwater management infrastructure The NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit
along with the inspection and maintenance protocols carried out by the City in order to comply
with this permit are outlined in Appendix J ofthe SWMp2
5 15
59
The MS4 General Permit has been recently revised to include a decision made by the Minnesota
Court of Appeals in May of2003 requiring nondegradation be addressed for all waters The City
ofChanhassen was chosen among 30 MS4s to provide a study to determine new or increased
significant discharges and then determine reasonable measures to keep stormwater pollutant
loading consistent with 1988 loads to receiving waters The City is currently drafting a
Nondegradation Plan as a part ofthese requirements and anticipates following the plan set forth
in order to comply with these new requirements
The City of Chanhassen recognizes the need to set limits on the amount of impervious surface
generated with new development in order to protect our surface waters from further degradation
As part of the Chanhassen City Code the City sets maximum percent lot coverage for each plat
submitted based on zoning district
In addition as part ofthe City s Surface Water Management Plan and as a condition of
approval all subdividers are required to pay a water quality and water quantity connection
charge based on the gross area ofthe subdivision less the area to be dedicated to the city for
ponding parks and wetland and right of way for public roadways
5 3 5 Education
The City of Chanhassen acknowledges the importance of educational outreach in the
implementation of its water resources goals and policies The City currently conducts annual
public meetings to present and allow comments for its current storm water program and NPDES
Permit The City also provides water resources related information in the Chanhassen
Connection as well as on the City s website Information on current water resources projects are
also conveyed through the City s Clean Water Hotline Chanhassen coordinates volunteers in
5 16
60
water resources related programs such as the storm drain marking program and the Citizen
Assisted Monitoring Program CAMP in coordination with the Metropolitan Council which
monitors volume and water quality in Chanhassen lakes The City also coordinates with several

Districts the Metropolitan Council and local Water Management Organizations The City of
Chanhassen plans to maintain its current educational activities as well as continuing to expand
its water resources education program into the future
5 3 6 Water Resources Capital Program
Funding for water management projects has become more complex in recent years however
financial options have broadened The City currently uses a storm water utility program as a key
component of their overall approach in funding their water resources related projects The City
imposes a water quality and water quantity connection fee on all subdivisions based on the gross
area of the subdivision less the area to be dedicated to the city for ponding parks and wetland
and right of way for public roadways Alternate means of funding include exploring
opportunities for grant program funding from resources such as Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency Programs Watershed Organizations and the Metropolitan Council
Expenditures for the continuation and implementation of City water resources program goals can
be found in Table 46 of the SWMp2

Parks and Recreation
System History
The City s park and recreation system is the result of almost 40 years of planning
and City and citizen commitment In addition to adding parks and trails to the
system in conjunction with development the community has supported major
initiatives for park improvements throughout the years
Key dates
1969 The voters pass the City s first bond referendum for parks resulting
in the acquisition of Lake Ann Park the beginning of the neighborhood
park system of tot lots and ball fields and preserving much of the
community character that residents today still enjoy
1988 The voters pass a bond referendum for phase two of Lake Ann
Park and the purchase of park lands in the southern half of the City
1996 The voters pass a bond referendum for the acquisition and
improvement of the park system resulting in improvements in 18 parks
system wide the construction of Bandimere Community Park the
reconstruction of City Center Park preservation of over 40 acres of
open space and 7 miles of new community trails
Existing Park and Recreation System
Today Chanhassen s park and recreation needs are met by a combination of
city parks city trails and sidewalks school district facilities private facilities
recreation programs as well as regional parks trails and recreation amenities
Figure 61 depicts the existing system and Table 61 lists all park and recreation
facilities within Chanhassen The Park Inventory found in APPENDIX X
provides a complete inventory and maps of City owned park land
Existing City Parks
Existing parks fall into four classifications neighborhood parks community
parks special use parks and preserves Table 61 lists each park by classification
and Table 65 provides a description of each park classification and standards
for new parks
Community Parks
Chanhassen currently has 5 community parks Bandimere Park in the southern

to parks schools commercial and civic destinations and connects to the trail
systems in adjacent communities The City is also committed to providing
pedestrians and cyclists safe crossings of major roads and today there is a
pedestrian bridge over Highway 5 and are several underpasses city wide Figure
61 There are some unpaved nature trails in preserve parks as well

Hopkins to Victoria and travels along the northwest city boundary The south
corridor travels from Hopkins to Chanhassen through the southern part of the
City with a parking area and trail head off of Bluff Creek Drive Both trails are
crushed limestone The trail corridors were acquired by the Hennepin County
Regional Railroad Authority HCRRA for future light rail transit use A
cooperative agreement between HCRRA and Three Rivers Park District allows
the corridors to be used for interim recreational purposes
Much of Highway 101 Regional Trail is complete within Chanhassen Today
the trail travels about 5 miles from Pleasant View Road south to County Highway

sports self defense ski and snowboard and dance programs for youth programs
serving individuals with developmental disabilities and their families fitness
and sports programs for adults and educational programs swimming clubs

Assessing Future Needs
Population
Demand for parks and recreation is closely linked to population The
Metropolitan Council forecasts that the City will add 7 886 households and
increase in population by 17 679 between the years 2000 and 2030 Table 6 2
This increase in population will certainly result in an overall increase in park
and trail needs

Parks and Recreation
Table 6 2 Metropolitan Council Population Forecasts Population standards act as a general guideline for the minimum
number of park acres per 1 000 people These standards are one
method of assessing needs and are applied to both neighborhood
and community park lands Preserve areas are not assessed since
these areas typically encompass natural features which vary greatly
from community to community and no standard exists Chanhassen
uses standards of 5 acres l OOO people for neighborhood parks and
7acres l 000 people for community parks The standards are applied
in Table 63 Analysis shows that the City currently has enough
parkland to meet anticipated needs through 2010 that by 2020
there will be a 12 acre shortfall in community park space and by 2030 a 37 acre
shortfall in community park space and a 2 acre shortfall in neighborhood park
space Therefore City should explore opportunities for additional

community park land and continue to add to the neighborhood park network as
new residential areas are developed
Age is also an indicator of what types of recreation facilities will be needed
Youth tend to participate in organized athletics while older people are more
interested in trail oriented activities such as biking in line skating jogging
and walking Year 2000 U S Census data Table 64 shows large segments
of the population in two age groups under 19 years and age 30 50 indicating
a prevalence of families with children As these populations age the City will
likely continue to see demand for youth sports and see the demand for more
passive activities such as trails and natural areas increase Assuming that much
of the forecasted new population growth will be young families with children
demand for current facilities is likely to remain strong When planning park
facilities it is important to keep in mind that neighborhoods and communities
go though life cycle changes and parkland must be varied and versatile so the
system can adapt as recreation and demographic trends shift

Parks and Recreation
Park Service Areas
Community Parks
Community parks provide opportunities for community wide recreation and
typically serve a l 2 mile area Chanhassen s 5 community parks are distributed
throughout the City and most residents live within an easy drive or bike of a
community park As previously mentioned based on population there is an
anticipated shortfall in community park land after 2020 Since most of the
new residential growth is anticipated to occur in two areas south of Lyman
Boulevard and on the west side of Lake Ann it makes sense to look for new
community park sites these areas
Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood parks provide recreation close to where people live and
Chanhassen uses the standard that most residents should live within walking
distance of a neighborhood park Walking distance is measured by a Y2 mile
radius free of barriers such as major roads and large water bodies Because
community parks often act as neighborhood parks for the people living in close
proximity a Y2 mile radius is applied to both neighborhood and community
parks to identify any gaps in service Areas highlighted in yellow in Figure
6 2 are existing or planned future neighborhoods based on the 2030 Land Use
Plan that have gaps in service As shown in Figure 6 2 the northeastern part
of the City is well served by parks and but there are some gaps In order to
maintain the Y2 mile radius walking distance additional neighborhood parks
should be considered in these areas The City already owns the land for but has
yet to develop two neighborhood parks north of Highway 5 Developing these
parks would eliminate most service gaps in the north part of the city The area
south of future Highway 212 west of CRIO land north of Pioneer Trail is within
Y2 mile of Bandimere Park but is shown as a gap in service because residents
must cross a CRlOl a major road to get to the park If a centrally located safe
crossing of CRIOl is established Bandimere Community Park would serve as
a neighborhood park for this area Where there are other service gaps in the
southern part of the City additional neighborhood parks should be considered
as residential development occurs
South of Pioneer Trail rural development patterns are dominant Though this
area is not well served by neighborhood parks the low population densities
coupled with ownership of large lots on which residents often build facilities
suited to their individual needs small play structures basketball hoops pools

Preserves
Preserve areas are located where there are important natural resources that
should be protected One of the main initiatives of the 2020 comprehensive plan
was to preserve open space and natural resources As a result of these efforts
the City now has 440 acres of preserve land and has protected much of the Bluff
Creek Corridor There are a few key important and treasured natural areas in
the City remain unprotected These include some areas within the Bluff Creek
Corridor the west shore of lake Ann and the Seminary Fen
Trends
Trends also play an important part in the type of facilities a community needs
Since trends shift though time the park system should be assessed at regular
intervals to insure facilities and programs based on current desires Current
trends influencing recreation in Chanhassen include
Active living Awareness is growing for the health benefits associated with
active lifestyles and exercise Studies have shown that when people have access
to parks they exercise more Incorporating parks trails and natural areas into
the community supports increased play exercise walking and biking which
can improve residents physical psychological and social health This keeps the
community fit and healthy
Compressed leisure Time People work more and have ever busier lifestyles
resulting in the desire to have activities and facilities close to home shorter
program time commitments passive park spaces and individual non
programmed opportunities
Environmental Awareness There is an increased awareness and sensitivity to
the environment natural resources and stainability as well as more interest in
open space preservation and natural and interpretive programs
Interest in the Arts There increased interest in public art arts education and
theater
Aging Population As the baby boomer generation ages more and more people
are participating in recreation at older ages and there is an increased demand
for less active outdoor recreation like golf courses trails benches gardens art

Parks and Recreation
culture and history
Multi dimensional Recreation People want recreational opportunIties to
combine interests in recreation socialization environment and education
Recreational Programming Participation in organized athletics and
recreational programs is increasing particularly after school and summer
programming
Quality vs Quantity People are willing to travel for higher quality recreational
facilities vs using lesser facilities close to home or work
Trails Interest in active living walkable communities commuting alternatives
and aging populations have all contributed to the continued demand for public
trails
Dog Parks Controlled ofHe ash dog parks are exploding in popularity and offer
opportunities for human and canine socialization
Community Gardens Community gardens are increasing in popularity not
only for people with limited yard space but also with people who live in single
family homes who enjoy the social atmosphere
Disc Golf Disc Golf is a fast growing sport that is played by people of all ages It
is played on a marked course with special golf discs similar to Frisbees Throws
start from a tee area toward a basket mounted on a pole As players progress
down the fairway they make their next shot from where their previous throw
landed
Lacrosse As lacrosse becomes more popular cities are seeing increased requests
for field time and space
Summary of Anticipated Needs
Based on analysis of the existing system anticipated population growth the
2030 Land Use Plan and current demographic lifestyle and recreation trends
the following observations can be made regarding future park needs
Based on anticipated population growth there will be more demand
for parks and recreation of all kinds Though the City currently has
enough community park space to meet current needs by 2030 there will
be an almost 40 acre shortfall in community park space This indicates
6 12 I City of Chanhassen
73
Parks and Recreation
the need to look for opportunities to expand existing community parks
and or to search for an additional community park site of about 40 acres
with a focus on active sports and athletic fields
Based on both population growth and land use patterns additional
neighborhood parks will be needed in a few key locations These should
be built along with new residential development In the case of the area
across CRI01 from of Bandimere Community Park a safe crossing of 101
would make Bandimere Community Park more accessible and serve as a
neighborhood park for those residents
There are some gaps in neighborhood park service north of Highway 5
The City already owns land for and should develop two neighborhood
parks to serve these neighborhoods
Demographic and recreation trends indicate that there will continue
to be interest in expanding the City s trail system for both recreation
fitness and bicycle walking proposes
lifestyle trends such as active living increased interest in recreation
programs environmental awareness and aging population will influence
the types of amenities and programs the City will be called upon to
provide over the next 25 years
The City should look to incorporating facilities into its system for
emerging sports such as disc golf and lacrosse and add community
garden space
Increased interest in places for passive recreation open space protection
and environmental education and sustainability all support the need for
continued City leadership in protecting Chanhassen s the remaining
important natural areas
Interest in creating an arts council and community theater should be
explored
2030 System Plan
Thanks to a strong history of planning for and support of parks and recreation
the City currently has complete and balanced recreation system that is well used
and a source of community pride The Park and Recreation system s focus over
the next 25 years will be to acquire and build the key park trail and open space
amenities that will complete and fine tune the system Since the community is
likely to become fully developed over the next 25 years this time period may be
8 31 07 DRAFT 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN I 6 13
74
Parks and Recreation
one of the last opportunities to acquire park and recreation lands
Funding new park and recreation initiatives and maintaining and improving
the existing system will continue to be a challenge The City will continue
to maintain and improve the system by acquiring new park land though the
Park Dedication Requirements in the Subdivision Ordinance encouraging open
space protection through the Planned Unit Development Ordinance and Bluff
Creek Overlay District and using money from the general fund In addition
the City should continue to explore other funding tools such as partnerships
with other organizations encouraging voluntary donation of land or easements
development of facilities that generate a revenue and voter approved bonds or
taxes
The plan is divided into three sections Park Classifications and Standards
define standards for new parks Objectives and Policies are intended to act as a
general guide for decisions regarding the park and recreation system and provide
a means for evaluating future efforts and Park and Recreation Initiatives that
will complete and fine tune the system
Park Classifications and Standards
Chanhassen s parks are classified according to their use and function Table
6 5 defines the classifications and outlines standards for new parks The
classification system is intended to act as a general guide to park planning
acquisition and use and are designed to assure that residents have convenient
access to parks and the community has a range of active and passive recreation
facilities to meet current and future needs Active recreation refers to sports
like baseball softball soccer basketball and tennis Passive recreation refers to
activities such as picnicking nature study walking and bird watching
Objectives and Policies
The overarching goal of the park and recreation system is to provide park and
recreational facilities and programs to reasonably meet the City s needs and
promote a sense of community The objectives cover the main elements needed
to support the goal and polices provide further explanation and direction
Objective Provide a balanced park system which includes neighborhood

Location Map
Several regional highways provide Chanhassen with accessibility to the metropolitan area and to
out state Minnesota These include Minnesota Trunk Highway TH 5 which runs east west and
interchanges with 1 494 east ofChanhassen in the City of Eden Prairie TH 7 runs east west
along the northern border of Chanhassen TH 41 runs north south along the western portion of
the city TH 101 runs north south bisecting the southern portion ofthe City and defines the
northeastern border ofChanhassen with Eden Prairie and new TH 312 future TH 212 which
traverses the southern third of the City
The Chanhassen Transportation Plan is based on the City s 2030 Land Use and Transportation
Plan Updates to these plans have been undertaken by the City to recognize changes in land use
development patterns and other planning processes including the Minnesota Department of
Transportation s Transportation System Plan 2008 2030 TSP Carver County s
Transportation Plan 2007 Update and the Metropolitan Council s Transportation System
Framework The TSP was prepared in 2007 and outlines major transportation investments for
7 183
the transportation system in the seven county metropolitan area The TSP identified a 20 billion
shortfall in transportation needs in the region with only 6 7 billion in funding As a result of
this funding shortage many needs throughout the metropolitan area will go unmet over the next
20 years The TSP identified current Level of Service LOS problems on regional routes such as
TH 5 TH 7 TH 41 TH 101 and TH 212 Given these limited capacity improvements to regional
facilities operational congestion and safety problems on these facilities will continue to
increase Since the regional facilities are anticipated to function poorly additional traffic is
anticipated to divert to the local system
Carver County is in the process of updating their Comprehensive Plan including the
transportation element System changes and traffic forecasts included in this plan are based on
county facilities and forecasts
7 1 STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Transportation Plan shows how the City of Chanhassen will achieve its goal ofcreating an
integrated multi modal transportation system which permits safe efficient and effective
movement of people and goods while supporting the City s development plans and
complementing the metropolitan transportation system that lies within its boundaries To
accomplish this goal the Transportation Plan
1 Identifies the density and distribution of future land uses and their relationship to the
proposed local transportation system and the anticipated metropolitan transportation system
2 Develops a functional hierarchy of streets and roads and defines their access to the regional
system to ensure that they support the existing and anticipated development of the area serve
both short trips and trips to adjacent communities and complement and support the
metropolitan highway system
3 Establishes a system improvement and completion program that ensures that higher priority
projects are constructed first maintains a consistent and coherent roadway system during the
roadway system development process and provides for adequate funding for all needed
improvements
4 Identifies what transit services and travel demand management strategies are appropriate for
implementation in Chanhassen in order to increase the number and proportion ofpeople who
use transit or share rides and reduce the peak level of demand on the entire transportation
system
5 Identifies the strategies and policies that need to be implemented to properly integrate the
trail system pedestrian bicycle etc with the proposed roadway system to ensure the
inclusion oftrails in a sequence consistent with the development of the roadway system and
to create a rational network of sidewalks
7 2
84
Because this analysis deals not only with streets and highways but also with land use trails
transit traffic management and other topics the results will constitute a Transportation Plan
The plan will serve as the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan
7 2 TRANSPORTATION POLICIES
The Metropolitan Councils Transportation Policy Plan identifies a policy framework within
which the Chanhassen Transportation Plan was developed The City s transportation policies are
supportive of metropolitan policies and consistent with the plans and programs of the
metropolitan plan state systems and Carver County s plan and relate directly to the objectives of
the City of Chanhassen These policies are as follows
7 2 1 General
Thoroughfares and major routes should be planned so as to reduce conflicts between
external traffic and local traffic while facilitating development in the community
Through the development review process the City will strive to discourage development
from occurring within the designated roadway corridors as well as limiting access to
collector streets minor arterials intermediate arterials and principal arterials Access
points to the regional roadway system should be adequately controlled in terms of
driveway openings and side street intersections
Promote safe and convenient connections between the highway system and major
commercial areas industrial uses and residential neighborhoods
7 2 2 Roadways
Encourage multiple uses of right of way areas accommodating various modes of
transportation
New roadway facilities should be constructed in conjunction with new developments and
designed according to the intended function They should be planned and designed to be
compatible with the surrounding environment
Existing roadways should be upgraded when warranted by demonstrated volume safety
or functional needs
Residential street systems should be designed to discourage thru traffic and to be
compatible with other transportation modes including transit bicycle and walking
The City will implement roadway design standards and inspection practices which ensure
proper construction
7 385
7 2 3 Transit
The City encourages all forms ofridesharing in order to reduce vehicle miles of travel
reduce petroleum consumption and improve air quality
The City will review all major new developments in light of the potential for ridesharing
including bus accessibility preferential parking for carpools vanpools and mixed use
development
The City will support federal state metropolitan and local efforts directed toward the
provision ofrail transit for the community the region and the state
The City encourages cooperation with the Metropolitan Council and SouthWest Transit
Commission in order to provide future transit service to and within the community The
City will support the development of park and ride facilities that encourage transit use
7 2 4 Parking
The City will continue to review new developments for adequacy of parking based upon
need and the potential for joint use of parking facilities
Sufficient parking transfer and bus stop facilities should be provided to meet the needs of
mass transit in major employment and commercial areas and in higher density residential
and mixed use areas
7 2 5 PedestrianIBicycle
Major activity centers should provide accessibility to pedestrians and bicycles including
necessary bicycle parking facilities
The City will promote increased development ofbikeways and trail facilities in order to
conserve energy resources enhance recreational opportunities and assist in the abatement
of pollution and congestion
Pedestrian and bicycle trails should be interconnected with major bicycle and pedestrian
traffic generators and have continuity across major roadways and other barriers
Sidewalks andor trails should be required in commercial industrial and residential
areas adjacent to schools and other public buildings and along at least one side of
collectors and other high volume roads
7 2 6 Other
Mapped Road System The City will utilize the land use plan and transportation plan
maps to illustrate planned road alignments and to facilitate their acquisition and
7 4
86
construction as new developments are proposed The plan maps will illustrate all
collector and arterial street alignments They will also be amended from time to time by
the City during the subdivision review process
Subdivisions As apart of platting each development should provide dedication and
improvement ofpublic streets consistent with the standards found in city ordinances
The city will promote the provision of street and pedestrian connections to maximize
safety and ease of access
Buffer Sufficient setbacks andor berming should be designed into all development
projects adjacent to major public roadways
Capacity Coordinate existing and planned transportation facilities and their capacities
with land use types and densities with particular emphasis on land development in the
vicinity of interchanges and intersections
Maintenance The City will continue an ongoing maintenance program in order to
maximize the community s investment in transportation facilities
Circulation For proposed developments the City will require detailed circulation and
access plans which depict the impact of the proposed development on both the existing
and future transportation systems
Arterial Deficiencies The City will support federal state metropolitan and local efforts
directed toward the timely construction of anew Minnesota River crossing connecting
Trunk Highways 169 and 212 upgrading ofTH 5 west ofTH 41 realignment and
construction ofTH 101 south of Lyman Boulevard upgrading ofTH 101 north ofTH 5
TH 41 and other facilities serving the area
Chanhassen will coordinate efforts with Eden Prairie and other appropriate
jurisdictions to ensure that TH 5 and 101 continue to function effectively
Construction and Maintenance Chanhassen will coordinate the construction and
maintenance of hard surfaced local streets collectors and arterials
7 3 LAND USE
7 3 1 Existing Land Use
Existing development within the City is influenced by several factors including the relative
location ofthe Minneapolis Central Business District the location of metropolitan highways and
the location of several lakes within the City Residential development has occurred primarily in
the northeast portion of the city with some large lot developments in other areas Commercial
areas in Chanhassen have developed along the major highway corridors ofTH 5 and TH 41 For
more information on land use within the city see the land use section ofthe comprehensive plan
7 587
7 3 2 Metropolitan Urban Services Area
The Metropolitan Urban Services Area MUSA is depicted in the land use element of the
comprehensive plan The purpose of this boundary is to define the areas within the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area that are eligible for urban services specifically sewers municipal water
systems and particular types of transportation systems This boundary line is defined and
maintained by the Metropolitan Council to assist in the orderly development ofthe metropolitan
area
The location of the MUSA line is therefore a valuable guide in determining the priority of
roadway improvements The roadway system within the MUSA area is going to be in demand
much sooner than the roadway system outside the MUSA area This is one of the reasons for
having such a boundary It allows municipalities to focus limited resources on particular parts of
their territory All of Chanhassen is expected to be within the MUSA by the year 2020
7 3 3 Land Use Plan
The 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan defines areas where the City will encourage specific
types ofIand uses to be developed The general categories ofIand uses defined by the City are
residential commercial mixed use industrial office public and parks The Land Use Plan is a
tool that the City uses to guide future development so that it is consistent with current and
future land uses in the City From these land uses the socioeconomic projections are estimated
7 34 Socioeconomic Characteristics
The analysis and projection ofregional traffic conditions is conducted utilizing a technique
known as traffic analysis zones Traffic analysis zones TAZs are defined as geographical areas
within which data such as population employment and household information is collected This
data is analyzed through computer modeling techniques which results in forecasts oftraffic
movement between zones Utilizing this technique it is possible to project travel and demand
such as person trip productions person trip attractions intra zonal person trips and motor
vehicle data such as average daily trips and peak hour trips This data is valuable in both local
and regional transportation planning
Table 1 shows the past census population households and employment as well as 2030 forecasts
for the City of Chanhassen From 2000 to 2030 the population and the number ofhouseholds in
Chanhassen are projected to increase 87 percent By 2030 Chanhassen s employment is
projected to grow 45 percent more than the 2000 figure City forecasts are based on the location
of existing development and an understanding of the rate at which development is occurring both
within Chanhassen and throughout the region

Table 2 shows the City ofChanhassen s forecast for population households and employment by
TAZ for 2030 see next page
7 3 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING AND FUTURE ROADWAY NEEDS
Determining future roadway needs is based on both an analysis of existing roadway needs and an
understanding of how traffic demand will grow in the future A good indicator of existing need
is traffic congestion However maintaining system continuity as new land develops is also
important Identifying future need requires an understanding ofhow the city is expected to grow
The preceding section outlined the expected distribution ofpopulation and employment Traffic
forecasts were made for the existing roadway system including improvements that are already
programmed This traffic analysis allows the detection ofproblems that would develop if no
further system improvements were made
7 3 1 Existing Roadway System
As with all municipalities jurisdiction over the roadway system is shared among three levels of
government the state the county and the city The Minnesota Department of Transportation
MnDOT maintains the interstate and trunk highway system on behalf of the state Carver
County maintains the County State Aid Highway CSAH and County Road systems The
remaining streets and roadways are the responsibility of the City

74 Existing Transportation IssuesDeficiencies
The function of a transportation plan is to not only accommodate future needs but also to analyze
existing problems and pose appropriate solutions Frequently existing problems are closely
related to future needs As a result a specific action in a given area can remedy existing
deficiencies while providing for future needs
Issues and system deficiencies were categorized into three areas 1 intersections 2 roadway
capacity alignment connection and 3 jurisdictional continuity The major issues are shown on
the system deficiency map and discussed in more detail as follows

7 4 1 Intersections Access
Chanhassen contains a number of intersections that currently are experiencing problems or are
anticipated to experience problems in the future A summary of the intersections that appear to
experience the most problems are as follows
1 TH 7Minnewashta Parkway The major problem with this intersection is the skewed angle
with which northbound Minnewashta Parkway joins TH 7 As a result northbound traffic on
Minnewashta Parkway has difficulty seeing eastbound traffic on TH 7 Also turning
movements from eastbound TH 7 to southbound Minnewashta Parkway are cumbersome due
to the angle of the roadway With heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak hours
turning movements in this area are difficult Installation ofa traffic signal at this location
may be warranted in the future once MnDOT determines that the roadway meets warrants
2 TH 5Minnewashta Parkway The City of Chanhassen completed improvements to
Minnewashta Parkway and its intersection with TH 5 in 1993 An eastbound bypass lane on
TH 5 is present at the intersection Due to heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak
hours turning movements in this area are difficult Additionally the roadway shoulders are
poor in this area Installation of a traffic signal and turn lanes at this location are anticipated in
the future once MnDOT determines that the roadway meets warrants
3 TH 5ILone Cedar Lane The sight distance for southbound traffic on Lone Cedar Lane
looking west along TH 5 is restricted by a hill As TH 5 improvements continue in the future
past this property elimination or restriction right inlright out ofthese access problems will
become increasingly important The design may need to address a cul de sac turnaround
4 TH 5 Crimson Bay RoadIMinnesota Landscape Arboretum Entrance Due to heavy
traffic volumes particularly during peak hours left turning movements in this area are
difficult Elimination ofleft turns onto TH 5 should be considered
5 TH 41ILake Lucy Road Due to heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak hours on
TH 41 left turns in this area are difficult Installation of a traffic signal at this location may
be warranted in the future
6 TH 41W 78th Street Due to heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak hours turning
movements in this area are difficult Sight distances are also decreased due to the curve in
TH 41 Installation of a traffic signal at this location may be warranted in the future
7 TH 5 TH41 Intersection geometrics were evaluated Additional turn lanes and roadway
lanes are necessary on TH 41 The south approach to the intersection contains a significant
slope that should be lowered
8 TH 41Water Tower Place A future right inlright out has been planned for this
intersection However installation of this intersection is not possible until the roadway
7 1395
geometries are improved south ofTH 5 Improvements to TH 41 are not in the 20 year
MnDDT improvement plan
9 Market BoulevardlMarket Street Due to heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak
hours turning movements in this area are difficult This intersection will need to be
monitored to determine if improvements are warranted
10 TH 101Pleasant View Road Due to heavy traffic volumes particularly during peak hours
left turns in this intersection are difficult Installation of a traffic signal at this location may
be warranted in the future Construction of turn lanes on TH 101 should be considered in the
near future
11 TH 101IKurvers Point RoadValley View Road Due to heavy traffic volumes
particularly during peak hours turning movements in this area are difficult A southbound
by pass left turn lane is provided at this intersection This intersection will need to be
monitored to determine if improvements are warranted
12 TH 10l96th Street At this intersection the geometries ofTH 101 create a blind
intersection In 1989 sight distance was improved by the removal oftrees along the corridor
Further improvements are unlikely until TH 101 is reconstructed
13 TH 101Flying Cloud Drive Old TH 212 The City in conjunction with Carver County
and MnDDT should undertake a study to determine the appropriate access controls necessary
to serve the properties and maintain the capacity of Flying Cloud Drive
7 4 2 Road Capacity AlignmentConnections
Deficiencies in this category are mainly due to capacity problems created by increased traffic
volumes alignment or geometric deficiencies or poor regional or local connections Examples of
such circumstances include the following
1 TH 5 Excessive congestion on this route occurs at various times ofthe day mainly during
peak hours Portions ofTH 5 exceed capacity for up to 8 hours per day In 2005 TH 5
carried 55 000 vehicles per day at Chanhassen s eastern border Temporary relief from the
congestion of TH 5 should occur with the construction ofTH 312 through Chanhassen
TH 5 west ofTH 41 continues to be a traffic congestion problem and with continued growth
in western Carver County congestion along this corridor is expected to increase With TH
312 expected to open in 2008 some of this congestion may temporarily decrease The City
of Chanhassen should continue to partner with MnDDT and Carver County and other
communities along the corridor to plan for future improvements and identify funding
2 TH 41 Existing sight distances at various areas along the corridor are potentially
inadequate
7 14
96
3 TH 101 North ofTH 5 This corridor should be widened and turn lanes installed at
intersections to improve function Also geometric improvements should be made TH 101
lies within Carver and Hennepin Counties and the Cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie
therefore jurisdictional and functional continuity are significant concerns that could have
major consequences for the City
4 TH 101 South of Lyman Boulevard to the Scott County Border The highway has
significant alignment and geometric problems TH 101 from TH 5 to Lyman Boulevard is
currently being improved by MnDOT and will jurisdictionally be transferred to Carver
County for future maintenance Chanhassen needs to take the lead role in promoting the
improvement ofTH 101 south of Lyman Boulevard
The City of Chanhassen in partnership with Carver County and MnDOT has completed a
study that identifies deficiencies and improvements necessary for the two lane 3 3 mile
segment ofTH 101 corridor in Chanhassen The project termini are Lyman
BoulevardCSAH 18 on the north and the Scott County Line on the south The intersection
ofTH 101 and Pioneer Trail CSAH 14 has recently 2005 been widened and signalized
The objective of this project was to develop and evaluate alternatives to preserve the long
term safety capacity and mobility ofthe 33 mile TH 101 Corridor in Chanhassen A range
of alternatives was developed and studied to best satisfy the project s purpose and need
while recognizing constraints based on social economic and natural environmental issues
and engineering feasibility cost concerns As study alternatives were developed and
evaluated corridor issues including social economic and natural environmental concerns
were identified The central alignment was the preferred alignment However due to
environmental concerns the easterly alignment should also be considered in the future
studies
Future preliminary engineering plans and detailed environmental studies will be completed
for the central and eastern alternatives The study will include recommendations for further
development of concept level improvements project staging and estimated construction
costs The study will address tasks needed to refine roadway designs and determine
appropriate future federal state and local environmental review and permitting processes
No construction funding has yet been secured for the future improvements to the corridor It
is expected that federal state and local funds will be needed to help finance future
improvements
5 Pleasant View Road The existing roadway alignment is inadequate in several areas
Sharp curves poor sight lines private structures located at the right of way line hidden
driveways and frequent vistas of Lotus Lake which serve as a distraction all combine to
create a poorly functioning traffic corridor Due to the need for more right of way
previous efforts to improve Pleasant View Road have been unsuccessful As a result the
inadequacies ofthis route will continue to intensify in the future as traffic volumes continue
to increase
7 1597
6 Powers Boulevard CSAH 17 Powers Boulevard north ofTH 5 has access problems
with local streets In 2006 the City of Chanhassen and Carver County studied these
intersections and identified turn lane improvements The intersections include Lake Lucy
Road Kerber Boulevard Carver Beach Road and Utica Lane Carver County may include
these turn lane improvements in their capital improvement program
7 Bluff Creek Boulevard The City constructed a portion of Bluff Creek Boulevard east from
Audubon Road CSAH 15 as part ofthe 2005 MUSA project However the final segment
of the roadway to Powers Boulevard approximately mile was not included in the project
This roadway must be constructed with the development of the properties west of Powers
Boulevard
8 2005 MUSA NorthSouth Collector Street Connections Local collector roadways were
identified in the 2005 MUSA project to service the area and connect to the County roadway
system These collector roads will connect to Lyman Boulevard CSAH 18 and Pioneer
Trail CSAH 14 These connections will be constructed with the development ofthe
properties in the area
9 2010 MUSA EastlWest Connection A collector roadway will be required from TH 101 in
the vicinity of Bandimere Park to Powers Boulevard between Highway 312 and Homestead
Lane These connections will be constructed with the development ofthe properties in the
area
10 Lyman Boulevard CSAH 18 Chanhassen Chaska and Carver County are currently
working on planning for the future improvements to Lyman Boulevard This roadway
should be improved by the fall of2009 before the Chanhassen High School opens The
project is anticipated to be constructed in two parts The first part scheduled for construction
is between Galpin Boulevard and Audubon Road north Signals are planned at the following
intersections within Chanhassen Audubon Road CSAH 15 Galpin Boulevard CSAH
19 Powers Boulevard CSAH 17 and TH 101 and possibly at Audubon Road and the
future north 2005 MUSA collector if warrants are met As part of the Highway 312 project
MnDOT is upgrading the segment of Lyman Boulevard from Quinn Road to west of Powers
Boulevard
11 Bluff Creek Golf Course A connection from the intersection of Pioneer Trail and Powers
Boulevard to TH 101 will be required as part of any redevelopment ofthe golf course The
existing Creekwood Drive is not designed or constructed to accommodate redevelopment
traffic These connections will be constructed with the development of the properties in the
area
7 16
98
7 4 3 Other Local Street Improvements
1 Dogwood Road Crimson Bay Road Crimson Bay Road access to TH 5 is problematic due
to traffic volumes on TH 5 at peak periods Access onto TH 5 from Crimson Bay Road is
anticipated to degrade more with increased traffic on TH 5 In the future MnDDT may
restrict Crimson Bay Road to a right inlright out At the present time Crimson Bay Road
does not connect to Dogwood Road A future street connection will be needed to provide
better access to Crimson Bay Road
2 Kiowa TrailSpringfield Drive Back to back cul de sacs were installed at the north end of
Kiowa Trail and the south end of Springfield Drive The pavement for the northern cul de
sac was installed to the project property line A breakaway barricade was installed to
prohibit thru traffic The cul de sacs were intended to be temporary until either area
residents petition the City to open the connection or new Highway 212 is constructed
3 Nez PercelPleasant View Road Connection During review ofthe Vineland Forest plat it
was evident that a connection between Nez PerceILake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road
was warranted since there was no north south connection between Powers Boulevard CSAH
17 and Lotus Lake Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate
access for emergency services It was determined that the Pleasant View Road intersection
should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection
4 Pipewood Lane and W 62nd Street A secondary access to this area was discussed as part
of the plat for Hidden Creek Meadows Cathcart Lane is a substandard gravel roadway that
provides emergency access to the area With the future development of the farmstead a
public street will connect these roadways
5 Timberwood Drive Stone Creek Court The neighborhoods ofTimberwood Estates and
Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet ofunfinished road A connection would
permit the residents ofTimberwood Estates to access the Bluff Creek trail system In
addition a connection could provide a secondary access to Timberwood Estates for residents
and emergency vehicles
7 5 FUTURE TRAFFIC FORECASTS
The City has relied on the 2030 baseline traffic forecasts incorporated within the Carver County
Transportation Plan to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of the street and highway
system to accommodate the development that is expected to be in place by the year 2030 The
forecasts were prepared based upon projected population households and employment data
developed by the City of Chanhassen and Carver County in conjunction with the Metropolitan
Council The 2030 baseline development assumptions are consistent with the Metropolitan
Council s 2030 Regional Development Framework as amended through November 8 2006
The population household and employment information was distributed throughout the City to a
refined network of Traffic Assignment Zones TAZ The analysis assumed improvements to
regional facilities only if they were programmed Other local improvements were assumed if
7 1799
they have been included in previous transportation plans and were part of the arterial system
These system improvements are listed as follows
1 TH 41 Four lanes from Highway 5 to the south Carver County boundary
2 TH 101 Four lanes from Highway 312 to south Carver County boundary
3 Lyman Blvd Four lanes from TH 41 to TH 101
The resulting traffic projections are shown in the 2030 Average Daily Traffic ADT map The
forecasts are based on a capacity restrained network
The level of congestion ofthe future highway system depends in large measure on both the
capacity improvements undertaken and the availability of a local arterial system to complement
and relieve the regional system The 2030 forecasts suggest the following
1 Regional facilities TH 7 TH 5 TH 41 and TH 212 currently are congested With little or
no capacity improvements to these facilities congestion will increase on these facilities In
addition more trips will divert to local routes such as CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard County
Road 117 Galpin CSAH 17 Powers Boulevard and to other collector routes within the
City See 2030 ADT Volumes Map on next page
2 Regional river crossing bridges TH 41 and TH 101 are congested currently and will become
more congested as the region expands The development ofNew TH 212 is anticipated to
attract more trips from Scott County and TH 169 Agencies should continue to investigate
and preserve this corridor or identify how existing corridors could be expanded to address
river crossing needs The City continues to support the expansion ofthese existing bridge
crossings to accommodate current and future traffic demands
Improvements proposed for municipal roadways are under direct control of the City and will
receive highest priority in the Citys Transportation Improvement Program For roadways on the
County system the City will cooperate with Carver County and encourage the improvement of
county roads in accordance with this plan
7 6 SYSTEM PLAN
The proposed roadway system should be consistent with the anticipated density and distribution
ofland uses in the City in the year 2030 The purpose ofthis section is to review the existing
functional classification system map on page 20 and identify potential functional classification
and other system changes that should be made to accommodate the anticipated growth The
existing functional classification system is based upon the Functional Classification map
identified as part of the 2020 Chanhassen Plan

7 6 1 Guiding Planning Principles
The City of Chanhassen Transportation Plan has been developed using the following guidelines
and planning principles
1 The functional classification of the roadway system in Chanhassen should conform to the
following criteria and characteristics
The trip length characteristics of the route as indicated by length ofroute type and size of
traffic generators served and route continuity
The ability of the route to serve regional population centers regional activity centers and
major traffic generators
The spacing of the route to serve different functions need to provide access and mobility
functions for entire area
The ability of the route to provide continuity through individual travel sheds and between
travelsheds
The role of the route in providing mobility or land access number of accesses access
spacing speed parking and traffic control
The relationship of the route to adjacent land uses location of growth areas industrial
areas and neighborhoods
The spacing guidelines for the specific road classification
The functional classification system is broken down into four categories principal arterials
minor arterials A and B collectors major and minor and local roadways
2 The plan should reflect vehicular travel demand at full development
3 The full development level as defined by the proposed Land Use Guide Plan should
incorporate the limiting effects that the identified physical constraints have on the attainment
ofthe anticipated level of development
4 Compatibility should be maintained between the roadway system in Chanhassen and county
and regional roadway systems
5 In developing the plan roadway segments and intersections that cannot accommodate the
anticipated vehicular travel demand should be identified
7 6 2 Functional Classification System
The functional classification criteria were closely followed during the preparation ofthis plan
The intent of a functional classification system is the creation of a hierarchy ofroads that collects
and distributes traffic from neighborhoods to the metropolitan highway system in the most
efficient manner possible given the topography and other physical constraints of the area Places
of high demand employment or commercial centers should be served by roadways higher in the
hierarchy such as arterial roads Neighborhoods and places of low demand should have
7 21103
roadways of lower classification such as collectors and local streets It is in this way that the
land use plan is integrated into the transportation plan
An important consideration in developing a functional classification system is adherence to the
spacing criteria established by the Metropolitan Council Table 4 The City of Chanhassen is
currently considered part ofthe developing area As a result the city has a mixture ofurban
suburban and rural areas It is anticipated however that the city will be fully developed by
2030 The ultimate roadway system assumes full development but the current distinction
between developing and rural is important in the establishment of implementation priorities

7 6 3 Principal Arterials
Principal arterials are the highest roadway classification and are considered part of the
metropolitan highway system These roads are intended to connect the central business districts
of the two central cities with each other and with other regional business concentrations in the
metropolitan area These roads also connect the Twin Cities with important locations outside the
metropolitan area
Principal arterials are generally constructed as limited access freeways in the developed area but
may also be constructed as multiple lane divided highways The following facilities are
designated as principal arterials within the City of Chanhassen
1 Trunk Highway 7 TH 7 serves as akey east west route through the south central portion
of Minnesota It connects the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area with cities such as Hutchinson
and Montevideo to the west It is located in the northern portion of Chanhassen and
provides regional access and mobility to primarily residential areas In Chanhassen vehicle
movements are generally uninhibited by signals or major street intersections To the east
however Highway 7 passes through Minnetonka and northern Hopkins where there are more
frequent signalized intersections and commercial development The roadway carries
substantial vehicular traffic and is considered congested LOS F during peak travel periods
2 Trunk Highway 212 The old TH 212 is a principal arterial and connects small rural
communities to the Twin Cities metropolitan area In Chanhassen TH 212 travels along the
bottom of the river bluff A new location of this facility was planned for many years and
became operational in 2007 The new facility runs diagonally through the southern portion
of Chanhassen The route is a four lane divided facility with controlled access at two
interchanges in Chanhassen one at TH 101 and the other at CSAH 17
3 New Principal Arterial River Crossing Currently there is a lack of a principal north
south arterial route in the region This is due to physical constraints such as Lake
Minnetonka and Minnesota River bluff area as well as past travel patterns favoring east west
travel However as the urban area continues to grow north south travel demand is
anticipated to increase The spacing from the Bloomington Ferry Bridge TH 169 to TH
101 is approximately 7 miles This is inconsistent with the functional classification
guidelines A north south regional river crossing has been shown previously on the
Metropolitan Council s functional classification system This route is intended to
accommodate regional trips between new TH 212 and TH 169
This route was designated aprincipal arterial route in lieu ofdesignating the current
alignment ofTH 41 a principal arterial route The designation was primarily done because
TH 41 goes through downtown Chaska and has numerous access points and limited ability
for capacity improvements The existing river crossings on TH 41 TH 101 and TH 169 are
currently at capacity based on traffic forecasting work done for the Carver County
Transportation Plan Therefore expansion of existing river crossings or an additional
regional river crossing appears to be needed to address regional growth
7 24
106
As part of the review process for the river crossing MnDOT prepared aTier I Draft
Environmental Impact Statement DEIS TH 41 Minnesota River Crossing The study
process began in 2002 The scoping decisions for the environmental reviews were made in
February 2005 and revised in February 2006 The DEIS review and comment period ended
on August 10 2007 The end result of the DEIS is to identify a preferred alignment for the
new river crossing The preferred alignment should be both a cost effective solution and
minimize social economic and environmental impacts Once the preferred alignment is
chosen local governments will need to officially map the alignment in order to preserve it
for the river crossing In the future a
Tier II Environmental Impact Statement will be prepared to evaluate and select a design for
the river crossing
7 64 Minor Arterials
Minor arterials are designed to emphasize mobility not access and to connect communities with
the metropolitan highway system Major business concentrations and other important traffic
generators are often located on minor arterials In the metropolitan area minor arterials are
divided into two classes A Minor Arterials and B Minor Arterials The number of lanes on
arterial routes should be based on the projected traffic volumes Routes are likely to be
constructed either as four lane undivided roads or as three lane roadways where there is
insufficient right of way when the system is complete
7 6 4 1 A Minor Arterials
The Metropolitan Council has identified minor arterials that are of regional importance because
they relieve expand or complement the principal arterial system These roads have been labeled
A minor arterials and have been categorized into four types
Relievers Minor arterials that provide direct relief for metropolitan highway traffic
Expanders Routes that provide a way to make connections between developing areas
outside the 1 494 1 694 interstate ring
Connectors Roads that would provide good safe connections to and among town centers in
the transitional and rural areas in the vicinity
Augmenters Roadways that augment principal arterials within the interstate ring or beltway
To the extent possible A minor arterials are the most continuous and form a grid network over
the entire city however topographic constraints and the location of existing highways and
existing land uses can result in deviations from the spacing guidelines Nevertheless continuity
and connectivity among the A minor arterials and the principal arterials allows the arterial
network to provide important mobility functions throughout the city
In Chanhassen the current spacing of A Minor arterials is approximately every one mile
spacing between TH 101 CSAH 17 and TH 41 The desirable spacing for A minor arterials
7 25107
is considered to be to 1 miles for fully developed areas Because Chanhassen is anticipated to
be fully developed by the year 2030 additional A minor arterials should be designated to
maintain mobility throughout the City The A Minor Arterials that are recommended in
Chanhassen include the following
1 Trunk Highway 5 is the most important existing roadway in Chanhassen functioning as the
City s transportation backbone In the early 1970s TH 5 was considered a principal arterial
route This designation has changed over time because of the close proximity ofTH 7 and
lack of continuity west of Carver County Currently TH 5 serves as the major link for
Chanhassen to the metropolitan area In addition TH 5 provides regional access to a large
number of businesses and industrial properties in the area The concentration ofthese large
employers results in some reverse commuting patterns as well as destinations for many
trips coming into Chanhassen from the west Even though this route is designated as a minor
arterial it provides many functions similar to TH 7 and TH 212 which are principal arterial
routes As a result it is recommended that the city continue to support improvement and
access management strategies that would maintain the mobility of this route
Within Chanhassen the flow of traffic along Highway 5 is interrupted by traffic signals at TH
41 Century Boulevard CSAH 19 Galpin Boulevard Audubon Road CSAH 17 Powers
Boulevard TH 101 Market Boulevard Great Plains Boulevard Dakota Avenue and Dell
Road There are no significant commercial or residential uses accessing directly onto
Highway 5
Eastbound traffic on TH 5 typically connects with either 1 494 TH 169 and TH 62 From the
Chanhassen border to 1 494 TH 5 contains signalized intersections at Eden Prairie Road and
Fuller Street These signalized intersections combined with higher traffic volumes in Eden
Prairie contribute to significant traffic delays during peak hours
2 Trunk Highway 41 Hazeltine Boulevard is another A minor arterial that has many
principal arterial characteristics is TH 41 This route is located in western Chanhassen and
is the only major north south river crossing west of the Bloomington Ferry Bridge 9 miles
to the east that connects TH 169 TH 212 TH 5 and TH 7 As a result this route will
continue to be an important link serving Carver County and the City of Chanhassen
Chanhassen and Chaska have done a good job in protecting the mobility of this corridor by
providing limited access and proper development setbacks With other north south
corridors being limited the volumes on this corridor are anticipated to increase as additional
development occurs
3 TH 101 This designation is consistent with the Metropolitan Council s Functional
Classification Plan and Hennepin County s designation This designation is consistent with
the spacing guidelines for developing areas The projected year 2030 daily volumes are at the
upper limit or exceed the recommended guidelines for volumes The roadway connects
principal and other minor arterial routes thereby providing an important mobility function for
the region The City has historically limited direct access to TH 101 and will continue to do
so
7 26
108
4 Highway 212 Flying Cloud Drive future County Road 61 After the construction of
new TH 212 old TH 212 will be downgraded from a principal arterial route to an A
minor arterial Flying Cloud Drive is a two lane undivided highway with limited access
control on the segment within Chanhassen however the river bluff substantially restricts
the ability to access this route The route continues to link Chaska and the TH 101 river
crossing with the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area The route fits the spacing guidelines for
A minor arterial routes and provides eastwest traffic flow below the bluff
5 CSAH 14 Pioneer Trail County State Aid Highway 14 is currently classified as an A
minor arterial based on its spacing with other similar eastwest routes and the connections
that it provides to other arterial facilities CSAH 15 CSAH 17 and TH 101
6 CSAH 15 Audubon Road County State Aid Highway 15 is currently classified as a B
minor arterial on the Metropolitan Council s Functional Classification Plan This route is
looked at in combination with CSAH 19 portion north of CSAH 18 Together these routes
form a north south connection between old TH 212 and TH 5 It is recommended that this
route be upgraded to an A minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar
north south routes and the connections that it provides to other arterial facilities It connects
facilities such as old TH 212 CSAH 14 Pioneer Trail CSAH 18 and TH 5 The spacing of
this roadway with CSAH 17 to the east is approximately one mile However there are
physical barriers e g Bluff Creek which limits the connections between these routes The
spacing of this route with TH 41 to the west is approximately two miles As the City of
Chanhassen develops this facility will provide mobility for north south traffic flow to
important destinations within the city as well as the regional transportation system
7 CSAH 17 Powers Boulevard County State Aid Highway 17 is currently classified as an
A minor arterial based on the spacing with other similar north south routes and the
connections that it provides to other arterial facilities It connects facilities such as CSAH 14
Pioneer Trail new TH 212 interchange TH 5 and TH 7 This roadway is approximately
one mile west of TH 101 however there are physical barriers e g lakes and wetlands that
limit the connections between these routes This route is approximately two miles east ofTH
41 As the City of Chanhassen develops this facility will provide mobility for north south
traffic flow to important destinations within the City as well as the regional transportation
system It is recognized that the character of CSAH 17 does change as it extends north into
Hennepin County CSAH 82 The roadway becomes narrower and setbacks are limited
7 6 4 2 B Minor Arterials
The Metropolitan Council defines all minor arterials other than A minor arterials as B minor
arterials These roadways also serve a citywide function Medium to long distance trips use the
B minor arterial system When combined with the A minor arterial system most places in
the city are within amile of such a roadway There are two routes in the City of Chanhassen that
is proposed as B minor arterial This route is described as follows

1 CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard Lyman Boulevard is currently designated as a B minor
arterial It is an east west route that parallels TH 5 for 1 1 miles to the south It currently
connects TH 41 CSAH 17 and TH 101 however an extension is planned to the west of TH
41 The spacing guidelines are consistent with designation of an A minor arterial for this
route However the designation of Lyman Boulevard remains a B minor arterial because it
lacks continuity east ofTH 101 It is in close proximity to the arboretum and there are
limited setbacks in the City of Victoria
2 CSAH 19 Galpin Boulevard This route is looked at in combination with the southern
portion of CSAH 17 portion south of CSAH 18 Together these routes form a north south
connection between old TH 212 and TH 5 It connects facilities such as old TH 212 CSAH
14 Pioneer Trail CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard and TH 5 The spacing ofthis roadway
with Powers Boulevard to the east is approximately 1 miles The spacing of this route with
TH 41 to the west is approximately one mile As the City of Chanhassen develops this
facility will provide mobility for north south traffic flow to important destinations within the
City as well as the regional transportation system
7 6 5 Major Collectors
Major collectors are designed to serve shorter trips that occur entirely within the city and to
provide access from neighborhoods to the arterial system These roads supplement the arterial
system in the sense that they emphasize mobility over land access but they are expected because
of their locations to carry less traffic than arterial roads
The following roadways are recommended as Major Collectors in Chanhassen
1 Minnewashta Parkway This street serves as the only north south route between TH 5
and TH 7 west of Lake Minnewashta It likely serves thru trips from outside the City from
TH 5 to TH 7 as well as locally generated traffic along its route
2 Galpin Boulevard CSAH 117 North ofTH 5 This route connects TH 5 to Shorewood
and is approximately midway between TH 41 and CSAH 17
3 Lake Drive Lake Drive serves two functions local access south ofTH 5 and aparallel
collector to TH 5 This route is capable of carrying local trips of short to medium length
In ajoint project with MnDOT and the City of Eden Prairie the City extended Lake Drive
east to the City limits where it merges with the signalized intersection at TH 5 and Dell
Road
4 Pleasant View Road Pleasant View Road serves as the only eastwest connection
between CSAH 17 and TH 101 in northern Chanhassen
5 Lake Lucy Road Lake Lucy Road serves as the only east west connection between
TH 41 and CSAH 17 in northern Chanhassen
7 28
110
6 Coulter Boulevard Coulter Boulevard serves two functions a local access south ofTH 5
and a parallel collector to TH 5 capable of carrying local trips of short to medium length
7 West 78th Street This east west route connects TH 41 to TH 101 It parallels TH 5 and
provides local access to the properties adjacent to TH 5
7 6 6 Minor Collectors
1 Great Plains Boulevard This route connects West 78th Street to Lake Drive East
2 Kerber Boulevard This route connects West 78th Street in downtown Chanhassen to Powers
Boulevard and is parallel to Powers Boulevard
3 Market Boulevard This route provides a link between TH 5 and downtown Chanhassen
4 Century Boulevard This route provides a north south link between West 78th Street
TH 5 and West 82nd Street
5 Bluff Creek Drive This route provides a north south connection from CSAH 14 to Flying
Cloud Drive A short segment of this roadway will be constructed north of CSAH 14 to Bluff
Creek Boulevard with the development of the adjacent property
6 Bluff Creek Boulevard This route provides an east west connection from CSAH 15 to
CSAH 17 and the TH 312 new TH 212 interchange The eastern portion of this roadway will
be constructed with the development ofthe adjacent property
7 2010 MUSA East West Collector A collector roadway maybe needed depending on
development This roadway will connect CSAH 17 to TH 101 These connections will be
constructed with the development of the properties in the area This route was shown as a
minor arterial in the existing classification map
8 2010 MUSA North Collector This roadway will connect CSAH 18 to Bluff Creek
Boulevard These connections will be constructed with the development of the properties in
the area
The ultimate roadway system is based upon the functional classification presented above It
reflects full development of the City according to the land use plan and socioeconomic forecasts
presented earlier The roadway cross section identified for each classification would be expected
to be in place at the time full development is achieved
7 29111
7 7 PLANNED AND PROGRAMMED IMPROVEMENTS
7 7 1 Roadway Plan
Traffic on Chanhassen s roadway system will continue to increase due to new commercial
residential and industrial development and changes in socio economic conditions The impact of
added traffic will be more evident on primarily the arterial and collector routes However failure
to address capacity issues on major routes will result in more traffic diverting to local streets
This can result in safety speed and other undesirable impacts to collector routes
In order to ensure that traffic concerns are addressed thoroughly and comprehensively the
transportation chapter ofthe Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan contains aplanned and
recommended roadway system for the year 2030 This system is the result of both current and
past planning efforts including the 1980 1991 and 1998 Comprehensive Plans the Year 2005
Land Use and Transportation Study the Highway 101 5 Preliminary Alignment and Land Use
Corridor Study the Highway 5 Corridor Land Use Design Study the 1990 Eastern Carver
County Transportation Study ECCTS the 1998 Carver County Transportation Study and the
2007 Carver County Transportation Study
The following major improvements are components of the recommended and planned
transportation system
1 TH 5 The City will continue to work to get TH 5 improved west of TH 41 The current
Carver County Transportation Plan indicates a need for 4 lanes west to Waconia to
accommodate traffic flows
2 TH 212 Construction ofTH 212 along a new alignment was under consideration since the
early 1950s The project is a four lane limited access freeway The project is scheduled to
be completed to Carver in 2008
3 TH 101 Planning efforts since 1980 have consistently identified the need for
improvements to TH 101 Planned improvements north ofTH 5 consist primarily of
reconstruction and realignment of the route north ofthe intersection at West 78th Street to
provide better traffic flow
On January 9 2006 the City approved a Joint Powers Agreement with Carver County and
the Minnesota Department of Transportation to fund the TH 101 corridor study from Lyman
Boulevard CSAH 18 to Scott County The purpose of this study is to identify deficiencies
and improvements necessary for a two lane 33 mile segment ofthe
TH 101 Corridor in Chanhassen between Lyman Boulevard CSAH 18 on the north and the
Scott County Line on the south The City proposes that construction of this project be split
in to at least two phases Phase I would be from Lyman Boulevard CSAH 18 to Pioneer
Trail CSAH 14 Improvements south of new TH 212 depend on MnDOT turn back
program funding or other funding sources
7 30
112
The TH 101 river crossing also needs to be expanded to four lanes to accommodate traffic
4 TH 41 TH 41 needs to be upgraded to a four lane cross section from TH 7 south to the
County line In addition the vertical alignment of the south approach to TH 5 must be
reduced to improve the safety ofthis heavily used intersection
The TH 41 river crossing needs to be expanded to four lanes to accommodate traffic
5 New Regional River Crossing New TH 212 to TH 169 Currently TH 41 and TH 101
bridges serve the river crossing needs for the region Both of these routes are significantly
over capacity The City will work with adjacent communities MnDDT and the
Metropolitan Council to determine potential alternatives to address capacity needs in the
regIOn
6 CSAH 18 Lyman Boulevard Chanhassen Chaska and Carver County are currently
working for the future improvement to Lyman Boulevard Because of the new Chanhassen
High School this roadway needs to be improved Signals are planned at various
intersections
7 CSAH 14 pioneer Trail This roadway provides a significant transportation corridor
connecting Chaska and Bloomington Access management and capacity improvements will
need to be coordinated through affected communities to maintain the roadway capacity
7 8 RECOMMENDED LOCAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS
As Chanhassen continues to develop transportation conflicts and inconsistencies will become
evident These situations unlike planning for major routes are not predictable since they result
from the merging of existing and new land use patterns The Comprehensive Plan can be a
useful tool in assisting the City in resolving these local access situations It is the City s policy to
require interconnections between neighborhoods to foster a sense of community to improve
safety and to provide convenient access for residents
Often during the subdivision review process the need for future extension of local streets
becomes apparent As a result access concepts are developed to assist in creating an acceptable
configuration for the plat and as a guide for the future development of adjoining parcels It is the
City s intent that the Comprehensive Plan serve as an implementation tool by providing a means
by which to record these access plans legitimizing them by nature ofthe fact that they are
approved by the City Council prior to recording It also will provide a useful means of providing
information to residents and developers seeking information or future development potential
These concept plans are illustrated below

properties
2 North and South 2005 MUSA Collectors These connections from Bluff Creek Boulevard
to Lyman Boulevard and Pioneer Trail will be constructed in conjunction with the
development of the underlying properties
3 2010 MUSA East West Collector This roadway will connect CSAH 17 to TH 10l
These connections will be constructed with the development ofthe properties in the area
4 Dogwood Road Crimson Bay Road In the future MnDOT may restrict Crimson Bay
Road to a right in right out At the present time Crimson Bay Road does not connect to
Dogwood Road A future street connection will be needed to provide better access to
Crimson Bay Road
5 Carver Beach Road Conditions Chanhassen s Carver Beach neighborhood was one ofthe
first residential developments on Lotus Lake This area consists of smaller lots and
substandard rights of way Drainage problems occur due to topography and a lack of storm
sewer facilities in some portions of the area Improvement of existing conditions can only
occur in a comprehensive manner involving the reconstruction of both streets and utility
systems Because ofdevelopment constraints typical street standards may not be achieved in
this area
7 32
114
6 Nez Perce Pleasant View Road Connection During review ofthe Vineland Forest plat it
was evident that a connection between Nez PerceILake Lucy Road and Pleasant View Road
was warranted since there was no north south connection between County Road 17 and
Lotus Lake Improved access is needed for local trips and to ensure the adequate access for
emergency services At the same time there were concerns voiced regarding the
introduction of additional trips onto Pleasant View Road since the street already suffers
from capacity and design constraints Therefore it was determined that the Pleasant View
Road intersection should be located as far west as possible at the Peaceful Lane intersection
7 Timberwood Drive Stone Creek Court The neighborhoods ofTimberwood Estates and
Stone Creek are separated by approximately 30 feet of unfinished roads This connection
would permit the residents ofTimberwood Estates to access the Bluff Creek trail system In
addition this connection could provide a secondary access to Timberwood Estates for
residents and emergency vehicles
8 Kiowa TraWSpringfield Drive Back to back cul de sacs were installed at the north end of
Kiowa Trail and the south end of Springfield Drive The pavement for the northern cul de
sac was installed to the project property line A breakaway barricade was installed to prohibit
thru traffic The cul de sacs were intended to be temporary until either area residents petition
the City to open the connection or new Highway 212 is constructed
9 Pipewood Lane and W 620d Street A secondary access to this area was discussed as part
ofthe plat for Hidden Creek Meadows Cathcart Lane is a substandard gravel roadway that
provides emergency access to the area With the future development ofthe farmstead a
public street will connect these roadways
7 9 ALTERNATIVE MODES
7 9 1 Transit
Although private cars are the most commonly used mode of transportation for Chanhassen
residents mass transit serves as an important alternative to automobile use and serves as one leg
of a multi model transportation strategy for the community Two forms of mass transit buses
and light rail commuter rail are specific components of this plan Plans for these services are
outlined as follows
7 9 2 Buses
In late 1986 Chanhassen joined the cities of Eden Prairie and Chaska in the creation ofthe
SouthWest Transit SWT Commission operated under ajoint powers agreement between the
communities to provide transit service known as SouthWest Transit The joint powers
agreement is renewable on an annual basis SWT is governed by a seven person Commission
Each of the three cities has an appointed member as well as an elected official The seventh
member is a representative of the riding public The City will continue to monitor the
7 33115
effectiveness of the SouthWest Transit program in providing cost effective transit service to the
City of Chanhassen
There are several services provided by Southwest Transit
1 Express Service This service provides express service for passengers working in downtown
Minneapolis Riders are picked up at the park and ride lot in Chanhassen and driven to
downtown Minneapolis without stopping At the end ofthe workday the service is reversed
taking passengers back to Chanhassen
2 Circulator Circulator bus
service within the three
communities served by
SouthWest Transit was
established in 1997 As an
example Route 636 provides
hourly service between the
Target park ride in Chaska and
SouthWest Station Other routes
provide local service between
Chaska Chanhassen and Eden
Prairie This service connects
riders to major destination points
in the three cities
3 Reverse Commute To serve businesses in the area the local Chambers of Commerce
created a Reverse Commute Task Force which in conjunction with other agencies helps
match workers in Minneapolis with businesses in Chanhassen These routes start in
Minneapolis and bring passengers to job sites in Chanhassen Starting with only five
passengers in 1992 the program has grown to serve approximately 400 450 passengers and
45 50 employers The City s rapid growth as an employment concentration warrants service
to facilitate work trips
4 Special Routes SWT has 60 buses and offers service to Downtown and Uptown
Minneapolis the University of Minnesota Fairview Southdale Hospital the Mall of
America the Minneapolis St Paul International Airport the Minnesota State Fair the
Metrodome and Southdale Shopping Mall
5 Other Services Because the agency s mission is to meet the transit needs ofthe community
SouthWest Transit provides a variety of other transit opportunities For example group rides
are available for a variety of businesses schools organizations and others Whenever
possible SouthWest Transit provides buses for little or no charge for community purposes in
Chanhassen and other service communities

7 9 3 Light Rail Transit LRT Commuter Rail
7 9 3 1 Light Rail Transit
Light rail transit is amode of transportation that is currently being considered for construction
in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area In 1987 Hennepin County received authorization from
the State Legislature to prepare a Comprehensive LRT System Plan for Hennepin County The
Hennepin County Board intends to implement light rail transit in the county Toward that end
the County established the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority to administer the
system Hennepin County owns railroad right of way from downtown Minneapolis to Victoria
and Chaska Other counties in the metropolitan area have followed Hennepin County s lead and
have also established railroad authorities
7 9 3 2 Southwest Corridor Rail Transit
The Southwest Rail Transit Study was ajoint effort of the Hennepin County Regional Railroad
Authority HCRRA and the cities of Eden Prairie Minnetonka Hopkins St Louis Park and
Minneapolis The purpose of the study was to determine if rail transit is a feasible part of the
overall transportation solution for the southwest metro area In July 2003 the study concluded
with a recommendation to continue further study of LRT alignments
The Southwest Policy Advisory Committee PAC consisting of elected officials or their
representatives from Hennepin County and the cities of Eden Prairie Minnetonka Hopkins St
Louis Park and Minneapolis other governmental agencies and area chambers of commerce
transit agencies trail agencies and businesses met six times during the course of the study and
developed a recommendation for consideration by the HCRRA The Southwest PAC
recommended that study continue for LRT
In December 2006 the Southwest PAC developed recommendations for the next project phase
After comparing benefits costs and impacts of several LRT and bus rapid transit BRT
alternatives the Southwest PAC recommended three LRT alternatives for further study The
three LRT alternatives LRT lA LRT 3A and LRT 3C were recommended for retention because
study findings showed that they were superior at addressing the Southwest Transitway goals of
improving mobility providing a cost effective and efficient travel option protecting the
environment preserving the quality of life and supporting economic development Each of the
three LRT alternatives would be expected to carry more riders attract more new riders to the
transit system be more cost effective more operationally efficient provide transit service to
those most in need provide connections to workplaces medical facilities shopping centers and
other activity centers in the southwest area and create opportunities for further economic
development in the southwest area communities All three alternatives incorporate the use of
former rail lines now owned by the county railroad authority and would complement existing
bikingwalking trails

On February 13 2007 HCRRA accepted a recommendation from the Southwest PAC and
authorized staff to issue a request for proposals for a draft environmental impact statement
DEIS for light rail transit in the Southwest Corridor This action followed a formal public
hearing held on January 23 at an HCRRA meeting where several citizens testified Comments
reflected issues that were raised at open houses and citizen meetings over the past several
months including concerns about environmental impacts and mitigation strategies statements of
preferred alignments and support for moving forward to develop a light rail line expeditiously
The Metropolitan Council is undertaking a Transit Master Plan to look at LRT throughout the
metropolitan area They have identified corridors that will be modeled in the Transit Master Plan
process Corridor Review Assignments The corridors were assigned for review as follows
1 Anoka Central Avenue LRT Cambridge CR
2 Carver SW TC W Commuter Rail SW LRT Extension
3 Dakota CSAH 42 LRT Farmington Rail Spur CR
4 Hennepin 29th S1 LRT Delano CR HCRRA Victoria LRT Hutchinson CR 1 394

6 Washington Canadian National CR TH36 LRT Met Council Nicollet Ave LRT to 106th
8t Downtown Express connection 494 694 beltway
As part ofthe process communities were requested to identify the locations of stations park and
rides on corridors The location of stations and park and rides are needed to do the ridership
modeling But the exact station location is not as important as part ofthe study since the
ridership forecasting model only needs to have the location to the closest TAZ which covers a
larger geographic area The City will continue to work with the Metropolitan Council to
determine the exact LRT station and park and ride locations along the corridors consistent with
the future development of the community

Within Chanhassen the LRT corridor follows the new TH 212 corridor The City has requested
that the Metropolitan Council also look at the southern HCRRA corridor should the study
proceed to a second phase The City supports the continued investigation ofthe use ofLRT in
meeting the travel needs ofthe community the region and the state
7 9 3 3 Commuter Rail
The City supports the continuing investigation of commuter rail as a transportation alternative for
the community the region and the state The Twin City Western Line which runs through the
heart of Chanhassen is currently under consideration as a possible route The City has advised
the Metropolitan Council that any commuter rail station located within Chanhassen would need
to be located between Market Boulevard and Great Plains Boulevard in downtown Chanhassen
7 37119
rather than at Galpin Boulevard since the downtown location meets the standards of the transit
oriented development TOD
The core area of the TOD is a relatively dense mixed use development and constitutes from one
tenth to one half the total TOD area The main characteristics include
Residential 20 to 30 percent ofthe TOD area
Employment uses 20 to 30 percent ofthe TOD area and
Civic uses about 10 percent ofthe TOD area
Commuter rail is primarily oriented toward commuter service to outer suburban regions and as a
result it typically serves longer trips than most light and heavy rail transit lines Commuter rail
trains are normally made up of a locomotive and several passenger coaches Commuter rail
vehicles have an on board operator who adjusts vehicle speed in response to traffic conditions
and railway signaling requirements Commuter rail vehicles have the ability to share track with
freight trains and other intercity passenger services such as Amtrak
In 1997 the Minnesota Legislature instructed the Minnesota Department of Transportation
MnDOT to conduct a feasibility study to determine if the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area could
support commuter rail service Out of 19 rail corridors studied six proved to be feasible of
supporting commuter rail Those six lines were divided into two tiers Tier I included the
Northstar Corridor between Minneapolis and 81 Cloud the Red Rock Corridor between
Minneapolis and Hastings and the Dan Patch Corridor between Minneapolis and Lakeville Tier
II included the Bethel Corridor the Rush Line Corridor and the Norwood Young America
Corridor The City supports the classification ofthe Norwood Young America Corridor as a Tier
I commuter rail corridor

In January 1999 MnDOT presented the results ofthe Twin Cities Metropolitan Commuter Rail
Feasibility Study to the Minnesota Legislature After hearing those results the legislature passed
M S 174 80 to 174 90 which gave the Commissioner of MnDOT the authority to plan design
construct and operate commuter rail in the State ofMinnesota Further the Commissioner was
charged with the responsibility of developing a commuter rail system plan that would ensure that
ifbuilt commuter rail would be part of an integrated transportation system that would interface
with all other forms oftransportation including LRT buses park and ride bicycles and
pedestrians In developing the Commuter Rail System Plan MnDOT has built on the results
from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Commuter Rail Feasibility Study and in particular the
implementation strategy presented in the final report

7 9 4 Park and Ride
Chanhassen currently maintains a park and ride stop on Market Street Station in downtown
Chanhassen Southwest Transit is locating a park and ride stop at the TH 10lTH 312
interchange in conjunction with the construction of Highway 312
7 39121
7 9 5 Travel Demand Management
Travel Demand Management TDM programs will also provide an opportunity to reduce travel
demand on the regional highway system The employment concentrations anticipated for the
area particularly in the office complexes provide the City with a tremendous opportunity to
implement TDM programs As part ofits standard approval process the City will work with
new employers locating in the study area to ensure that employers will
1 Promote carpooling by providing information on carpooling and vanpooling to employees on
a regular basis providing preferential parking and guaranteed ride home
2 Encourage employees to participate in Minnesota Rideshare s ride matching program
3 Rail Corridors offer employees flexible work hours and set a goal to reduce peak hour trips
by 10 percent and
4 Participate in a Travel Demand Management Organization specifically set up for major
employers This group will consider TDM measures that require cooperation among several
employers such as but not limited to
staggered start times
van pools
trip reduction goals
transit subsidies
In addition every employer regardless of size will be required to provide a convenient
carpool vanpool drop offsite that does not interfere with other traffic This drop off site will be
consistent with applicable Americans with Disability Act requirements The City may allow a
group of employers to provide a shared drop off site as long as the site is accessible to all
participating employers
It will be the goal of the City to reduce peak hour trip generation to and from the study area by
10 percent through the use of a combination oftransit service and TDM programs The City
supports investigation ofTDM strategies to reduce trip levels on area roads The City will be
advocating the development of a multi community multi county partnership with the business
community to promote these strategies
7 9 6 Airports
There are no existing or planned airports within the City of Chanhassen Commercial air service
is available at Twin Cities International Airport and general aviation is available at Flying Cloud
Airport in Eden Prairie Flying Cloud Airport is approximately 4 miles east of the City of
Chanhassen
7 40
122
Despite the lack of airports in Chanhassen the City has two primary aviation concerns first
physical obstructions are controlled and second seaplane operations At present the tallest
manmade structures within Chanhassen are the City s water towers which average 135 feet
Structures less than 200 feet are not considered obstructions under State rules Radio towers are
the only potential structures that may exceed the 200 foot threshold If proposals for towers
occur the city will require that they comply with all federal state and local requirements
Lakes Minnewashta and Riley are used by seaplanes To date there have been few conflicts
between boat traffic and seaplane usage Continued usage in these areas is not viewed as a major
issue due to the small number of aircraft and off peak hour operation by their owners If in the
future the numbers of aircraft increases or the potential for serious usage conflicts occurs the
City may work with state and regional authorities to limit or ban seaplane usage
7 9 7 Trails and Sidewalks
While discussed primarily as part of the recreation element in the Comprehensive Plan the City
desires to be pedestrian friendly To accomplish this the City must assure that City
improvements and private developments provide pedestrian and bicycle linkages An integral
component of the transportation system is the pedestrian and bicycle sidewalks and trails The
City continues to plan for an extensive trail system throughout the community These trails will
provide linkages between individual neighborhoods as well as connecting these neighborhoods to
the rest of the community As new development is proposed and reviewed the City will
continue to require that these pedestrian linkages be included as part of the development
7 10 RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO THE
METROPOLITAN SYSTEM
In 2006 the Metropolitan Council issued a Systems Information Statement to the City of
Chanhassen The City was encouraged to address issues identified in the Statement and to ensure
that planning in Chanhassen was consistent with the Metropolitan Councils newly revised
Transportation Policy Plan This section is intended to identify how the revisions to the City s
Transportation Plan support the Metropolitan Council s Plan
As the region continues to grow utilization ofthe metropolitan highway system is expected to
increase In some cases these facilities will become congested Due to the regional function that
these facilities perform many of the factors affecting segments that are in the City of Chanhassen
are beyond the City s control Nevertheless the City supports the desire to resolve transportation
issues by coordinating its own efforts with those of adjacent communities Carver County
MnDDT and the Metropolitan Council
To this effect the City has undertaken a comprehensive approach for dealing with these
transportation issues This approach considers the following methods for dealing with current
and future problems 1 an updated roadway plan 2 support ofregional programs and
activities and 3 initiation ofa TDM program The Citys approach to each of these is described
below
7 41123
1 The City has adopted a Transportation Plan that recognizes the need to support the
metropolitan highway system The major elements of the new plan are
An arterial and collector system spaced in accordance with Metropolitan Council
guidelines contained in the Transportation Policy Plan
An arterial system that provides both eastwest and north south continuity between the
City of Chanhassen and adjacent communities thus providing alternatives to the
metropolitan system for medium and long distance inter community trips
Arterial and collector roadways that are parallel to the metropolitan system thus
providing alternate routes for short and medium length trips and eliminate them from the
metropolitan system
2 The City of Chanhassen supports Metropolitan Council and MnDOT plans to improve the
metropolitan transportation system in the following areas
The city will coordinate site specific installations with MnDOT in order to develop
geometric designs at access streets that will accommodate the resulting queues and reduce
the traffic impacts on the local street system
The City supports the efforts of MnDOT to construct a new Minnesota River Crossing
7 11 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Previous sections have examined future travel demand have suggested guidelines for developing
a Transportation Plan and have recommended a Plan that is responsive to these considerations
This section concentrates on examining the steps necessary to implement the Transportation
Plan It discusses a general strategy for moving from 2007 to the future in accomplishing the
plan
7 11 1 Transportation Plan Adoption
By adopting the Transportation Plan the City Council will establish the guidelines by which
decisions regarding transportation facilities will be made in Chanhassen It should be revised as
necessary to respond to changing conditions and needs The City should periodically review the
assumptions under which the plan was developed including estimates of future development
population trends changing financial resources energy considerations and citizen and
governmental input and update the plan accordingly
The plan should be circulated widely so that residents and the business community are aware of
the opportunities and limitations that the plan provides thus enabling all interested parties to plan
with full knowledge
7 42
124
7 11 2 Jurisdictional Realignment Process
In general it is good policy that Carver County and the State MnDOT assume responsibility for
the arterial system and that the City assume responsibility for the collector and local street
systems This is to a large extent the situation in Chanhassen Currently Carver County has not
accepted the turnback ofTH 101 between TH 5 and Lyman Boulevard Other roadways that are
under consideration for jurisdiction change include
1 County Road 117 Galpin Boulevard from TH 5 to the north City limit turnback
from County to City This roadway is designated as a local collector street and does not
function to serve regional or inter county type traffic
2 Old TH 212 from West City Limit to East City Limit With the construction of new
TH 212 old TH 212 would then revert to function as an A Minor Arterial and revert to
Countyjurisdiction
3 TH 5 and TH 41 The TSP developed by MnDOT indicated that all non principal arterial
routes in the metropolitan area should be considered for turnback This included both TH 5
and TH 41 These routes currently playa critical role in the region A jurisdictional change
should not be considered unless a new river crossing is made linking new TH 212 and TH
169
7 11 3 Access Management
The City of Chanhassen through its ordinances has authority to approve developments
contiguous to city streets As part of this process the City will work with MnDOT and Carver
County on managing access to all arterial and important collector routes within the City Access
management will help maintain mobility and provide increased safety for route users Access
guidelines will be developed as part of the Carver County Transportation Plan The City will
assist in this process by carefully considering any parcel splits along arterial corridors promoting
frontage roadways to serve developments rather than direct access In addition the city will
make available any access guidelines to developers so that they are aware oflimitations prior to
beginning preliminary platting of property
7 11 4 Establish Improvement Programs
An overall strategy ofimprovement tempered by fiscal constraints begins with an analysis of
key intersection capacity improvement projects safety improvements and the protection of access
by establishing strict standards and by designating necessary right of way Identifying future
needs for facility rights of way followed by timely set aside programs will in the long run
save the community much in the way of financial resources Roadway improvements should also
be geared toward providing for transit needs particularly in the area of meeting turning radii
traffic signals and adequate roadway structure It should be pointed out that non motorized travel
needs must also be carefully considered Chanhassen will continue its policy of designating
sufficient right of way to provide for sidewalk and bikeway needs
7 43125
7 11 5 Sources of Funding
Roadways under City jurisdiction are maintained by the City s Department of Public Works
Rehabilitation and reconstruction projects are typically performed by a contractor under
supervision ofthe City s Engineering Department Funding for these activities including the
administrative costs of operating the department is obtained from avariety of sources including
ad valorem taxes special assessments development fees Municipal State Aid state and federal
project funding and tax increment financing A major concern of the City is the availability of
sufficient funds for maintenance and reconstruction activities If funds are unavailable needed
projects may be delayed or terminated and maintenance of existing facilities may fall short of
acceptable standards The following discussion explains the existing sources of funding and
potential new sources of revenue
7 11 5 1 State Aid
An extremely important source of revenue to the City is state aid A network of city streets
called Municipal State Aid Streets is eligible for funding assistance with revenue from the
Highway User Tax Distribution Fund This fund acts as a distribution or tax clearance fund and
tax income received into the fund is transferred to various transportation related funds for
expenditure The fund receives revenue from two principal sources 1 gasoline taxes and
2 vehicle registration taxes These two sources are permanently dedicated to this fund
Ninety five percent of the net proceeds ofthe Highway User Tax Distribution Fund are
distributed annually according to a constitutionally mandated formula 62 percent to the Trunk
Highway Fund 29 percent to the County State Aid Highway Fund and 9 percent to the
Municipal State Aid Street Fund
7 11 5 2 Assessments
Property that benefits from a roadway scheduled for improvement may be assessed for a portion
ofthe cost of construction In order to assess a property owner it must be demonstrated that the
value of their property will increase by at least the amount ofthe assessment For this reason it
is a limited source ofrevenue It is also limited by the almost certain requirement that the
property must have access to the roadway It is difficult to show direct benefit to a property that
is not contiguous Nevertheless this is an important source of revenue for the City
7 11 5 3 Ad Valorem Taxes
If 20 percent of the cost of a city project can be assessed to the adjacent property owners the
remaining cost of the project can be added to the ad valorem or property taxes of the remaining
property owners in the City Ad valorem taxes for street improvements are excluded from the
state mandated levy limits
7 44
126
7 11 5 4 Property Tax Funding
The seven metropolitan counties through their regional railroad authorities are authorized by
state statute to impose levies on real estate of up to a maximum of 0 04835 of market valuation
to pay for capital and or operating costs of passenger rail service
7 11 5 5 Tax Increment Financing
Establishing a tax increment financing TIF district is a method of funding infrastructure
improvements that are needed immediately using the additional tax revenue to be generated in
future years by a specific development Municipal bonds are issued against this future revenue
which is dedicated for a period of years to the repayment ofthe bonds or to other improvements
within the TIF project area When used appropriately a TIF district can accelerate economic
development in an area by ensuring that the needed infrastructure is in place without requiring
support from the usual funding This method of financing has already been used successfully in
the City ofChanhassen and is expected to be used again in selected areas in the future
7 11 6 Potential Sources of Revenue
Revenues available from current sources of funding are not always sufficient to meet highway
maintenance and construction needs In order to reduce the potential shortfall ofrevenue other
sources of funding need to be considered
7 11 6 1 Impact Fees Impact fees are assessed to individual developers as property is
improved An attempt is made to determine what impact the additional traffic will have on
roadways both near the development and away from it The cost associated with improving the
roadway system sufficiently to handle the additional traffic is assessed to the developer
7 11 6 2 Road Access Charge Impact fees are assessed after an attempt is made to determine
the specific impacts of a specific development A road access charge would be assessed all new
development based on the trip generation rate ofthe new development but without documenting
specific impacts Revenues from this funding source would be used to construct or improve
arterial and collector streets in the jurisdiction collecting the tax New legislation would be
required for this type of funding mechanism to be implemented Cities are in a position to assess
these fees because of their zoning and development authority
7 11 6 3 Transportation Utility Billing Under the concept of a municipal transportation
utility all properties would be subject to a periodic fee ie monthly quarterly based upon the
number of vehicle trips generated by the type of property This revenue would then be used for
transportation improvements that produce community wide benefits including the reconstruction
of existing roads and preventive maintenance to reduce deterioration Such a fund would be
especially useful for the maintenance of collector streets which are under the city s jurisdiction
particularly when it is difficult to show enough direct benefit to adjacent property owners to be
able to charge an assessment The periodic nature of the utility billing would also provide a
stable source ofincome to support a regular maintenance program for the entire street system
7 45127
Such a utility would be administered by individual cities with each city deciding on their own
fee structure At the present time this sort of revenue source is not permitted by the state but
efforts are underway to persuade the State Legislature to pass legislation allowing the cities to
obtain revenue in this way
7 11 6 4 Wheelage Tax Any city Minnesota Statutes Section 426 05 or the Metropolitan
Council Minnesota Statutes Section 163 051 may impose an annual wheelage tax upon motor
vehicles using the public streets or highways
7 11 7 Local Planning Policies
Chanhassen has different policies pertaining to construction standards for urban versus rural local
streets Urban roadways are required to dedicate 60 feet of right of way for local streets and
31 foot wide roadway width Rural roadways are also required to have a bituminous surfacing
24 feet wide contained within a 60 foot right of way Right of way widths may be reduced to
50 feet if there is extenuating environmental or physical constraints on a property
Current City policy also allows the construction of private streets Up to four single family
residences may be served via a private street if it is demonstrated to be unfeasible or unnecessary to
construct a public street In such cases 30 feet of easement is required with the roadway consisting
of a 20 foot wide paved surface Multi family private streets require 24 feet of paved surface
within a 40 foot easement Commercial industrial and office development may be served by
26 foot wide paved private streets within 40 foot wide access easements
7 11 8 Pavement management
Historically the emphasis for growing communities has been building roads and implementing
preventative maintenance due to the relatively new network system but as street networks age the
new focus is on maintaining and preserving existing pavement surfaces A pavement management
program is a systematic approach to using a series of pavement treatment options over time One
treatment at the right time will improve the quality of the pavement surface and extend the
pavement life but the true benefits of the pavement management program are realized when there
is a consistent schedule
An effective pavement management program integrates many preventative maintenance strategies
rehabilitation and reconstruction treatments The goal of such a program is to extend pavement life
and enhance system wide performance in a cost effective and efficient way Studies show that
preventative maintenance is six to ten times more cost effective then a minimal maintenance
program with only some rehabilitation and reconstruction maintenance strategies used
There are three main types of pavement treatment options
Preventive Maintenance This item includes filling potholes sealing cracks and seal coating
7 46
128
Rehabilitation Preformed to correct deficiencies that occur in pavements such as extensive
cracking and potholing This type ofmaintenance includes mill and overlays
Reconstructive This item is preformed when corrective maintenance is no longer
appropriate

CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL
WORK SESSION
AUGUST 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong called the work session to order at 5:45 p.m..
COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Furlong, Councilman Litsey, Councilwoman
Ernst, Councilwoman Tjornhom, and Councilman Peterson
STAFF PRESENT: Todd Gerhardt, Laurie Hokkanen, Kate Aanenson, Paul Oehme, Greg
Sticha and Todd Hoffman
PROVIDE FACILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR PARKS INCLUDING LAND
ACQUISITION.
Glenn Stolar, Chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission was present along with Todd
Hoffman, Park and Rec Director to discuss this item with the City Council. Todd Hoffman
outlined information staff has used in the comprehensive plan update to address future park
needs as the city builds out through 2030. Maps showing existing park and trail services and
gaps where future needs will need to be addressed as the city builds out were discussed. A
history of the key referendums used to purchase parkland, provide improvements to existing
parkland and trail development were outlined. Anticipated needs in the future include 40 acres
for a community park, additional neighborhood parks in developing areas, expansion of the trail
system, incorporating emerging lifestyle trends in the future, passive park space and interest in
creating an arts council and community theater. Glenn Stolar noted that these recommendations
came from feedback compiled from the comprehensive plan open houses and citizen input.
Councilwoman Tjornhom asked about plans for additional athletic fields. Todd Gerhardt
explained the type and size of land needed to accommodate athletic fields, noting that the amount
of available vacant land is limited. Councilman Litsey asked for clarification on talk of
acquiring land around Lake Ann and what that land would be used for. Mayor Furlong asked if
any neighborhood parks could be modified for ballfield use. Councilman Peterson asked why
staff didn't factor in the Arboretum and Lake Minnewashta Regional Park acreage in their
numbers. Todd Hoffman explained that the "easy answers are gone" for providing additional
parkland, noting this item was to bring awareness to the council of future needs. Councilman
Litsey asked if development of neighboring communities i.e. Victoria and Chaska will add or
decrease demand on Chanhassen's park system. Mayor Furlong suggested that council and staff
need to be frugal with the park dedication fund so that funds will be available in the future when
opportunities arise.
2008 BUDGET DISCUSSION.
Todd Gerhardt introduced the item, noting council directed staff to look at available cash
balances and potential land sales to balance road assessments in the future. Greg Sticha
reviewed the cash balance analysis, tax rate history and total levy history numbers. Mayor
Furlong asked about the percent of increase in assessment market values and the affect on the tax
base. Greg Sticha reviewed scenarios showing funding options for revolving assessments for
131
City Council Work Session - August 27, 2007

street assessments using bonding rather than the city financing the projects. Councilman
Peterson asked if staff has any other large projects not yet identified in the pavement
management plan that will be needed in the next 5 years. Todd Gerhardt explained how
additional money set aside each year could help fund future road maintenance projects. Laurie
Hokkanen explained how the health care costs numbers are lower than projected which will
result in a savings in the budget. Greg Sticha asked for council direction so staff can bring back
the preliminary levy for approval at the September 10th City Council meeting. Todd Gerhardt
noted that staff would recommend Option 1 which would provide staff with the greatest
flexibility. Councilman Litsey stated he would support Option 1 with the additional $150,000
for future road projects. Councilman Peterson stated he could support Option 1 but without the
additional $150,000. Councilwoman Tjornhom stated she could support Option 1 with the hope
of lowering the taxpayer impact to 0% with the final number. Councilwoman Ernst noted she
was leaning towards Option 3 which has 0% impact on taxpayers. Mayor Furlong noted that he
favors Option 3 for the operating budget, but would support Option 1 for the preliminary levy,
expecting that the final levy number will have 0% impact on taxpayers.
Mayor Furlong adjourned the work session meeting at 7:05 p.m..

LAW ENFORCEMENT/FIRE DEPARTMENT UPDATE.
Mayor Furlong: I see Chief Greg Geske is here. Good evening Chief.
Chief Greg Geske: Good evening. Beat the law enforcement here once I guess. Most of the
time they beat us there but.
Mayor Furlong: We'll note the date.
Chief Greg Geske: Just wanted to cover a couple things that went on. It's been rather slow
except for the storm season that we had here. Not much we hear about the watering ban
anymore now that we've had a lot of rain but we did participate in a month ago going out the
night of our training, we forewent training. Put off training that night. We went out and helped
educate the citizens about the pending water ban and it was a rather education thing going out to
the neighborhoods and stuff. We brought tattoo's with us and hats and everything else and made
it good and educating everybody out there so it went well for us and appreciate all the fire
fighters going out and doing that and getting the word out. It worked well for us. We did have,
with the storms we, and we didn't keep records but we did end up having 18 calls on the one day
that the storms, two storms went through so it was a busy season for us. Nothing real major the
day that the storms went through but we were kept busy both in the morning and the afternoon.
We participated in the Miracles of Mitch Triathlon and got a good turnout by our fire fighters
who participated and helped out with that. Also a great turnout for our National Night Out which
always seems to be a growing thing every year and Beth does a real good job with that and we
participate in that also. We did put a, our new fire engine we received earlier this month and
we're putting it into service. We've gone in training, sets of training like the fire fighters down at
our west station. We're putting that in service tonight so we're pretty excited about that and we're
pretty excited our replaced in 1981 vehicle now, parking off to the side with the new one and
we'll have that at the open house which I'll advertise more next month. Don't want to advertise
too early but we will have that at the open house, giving rides with it. We're pretty excited to
have that there also so we're starting planning for our open house that will be in October too so.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: What's the date of the open house? Next month you'll have it?
Chief Greg Geske: Don't want to lead on too much here.
Mayor Furlong: That's right.
Chief Greg Geske: I think it's the second week.
Mayor Furlong: Second Sunday.
Chief Greg Geske: Yeah.
Todd Gerhardt: Chief, do you think we can get the new fire truck on display at our next council
meeting so that council members can take a look at it?
Chief Greg Geske: Sure.
Todd Gerhardt: Maybe you can put it out front here before our work session.
Chief Greg Geske: Yep. That would be in 2 weeks?
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah. September 10th.
Chief Greg Geske: Yeah, let me know what time you want it here. We can sure get it out and if
you guys want to see it and anybody who walks by can see it and like I say, we'll have it at the
open house too but be happy to bring it up for the council. That way we can kind of explain
what we purchased out there. You know it's quite a bit of money that you spent on that piece of
equipment but we plan on having it for 25 years.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Other questions? Councilwoman Tjornhom.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I got a call from Commissioner Mark Stengler and also spoke with
Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and he told me about your heroic efforts at the 35W bridge
and the dive team from Carver County and what an excellent job they did and so I want to thank
you too for your heroism in being such a professional and going down there and volunteering to
spend I think 12 hours.
Chief Greg Geske: Yeah, our dive team, we participate with the Carver County Sheriff's dive
team and I believe we had 4 or 5 people from Chanhassen. Members that went down there and
dove and they got down there at 7:00 in the morning and were there until 7:00 at night and they
appreciate the extra time that they put on outside of the fire department to train and that and to
participate in that so we also appreciate it.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I know sending a thank you from Commissioner Stengland…so I
thank you all for coming and being so professional and answering the ultimate call.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Chief Greg Geske: Thank you.
Councilman Litsey: Yeah, thank you very much. It was good.
Mayor Furlong: And I think in addition to responding to emergencies, we've had two examples
here this month between National Night Out and Miracles for Mitch by the volunteer fires also
get out for those events too and I wanted to thank you for that. That's a good connection with
residents and businesses and those that aren't residents that come to those events, especially
Miracles for Mitch. That's a regional draw now so thank you as well for, and please extend our
thanks back to the fire fighters and the department for all the time that they put in above and
beyond the calls and responding to the pages. We sincerely appreciate it. Thank you. I don't see
Sergeant Anderly here. We'll mark him as absent.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, he had a family commitment this evening so he will not be in
attendance. Any questions or concerns that the council may have on the report, I can get those
after the council meeting, that'd be fine.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any comments at this point or comments that you'd like to make or
follow up on. The one comment that I will make, that I'm sure Sergeant Anderly would have is
school is starting next week so we're going to have children out on the street corners, buses,
driving around. Stopping at the most inconvenient spots if you're in a hurry so please slow down
and look for children. We have a few school zones on some of our major roads. Kerber, Laredo.
On Coulter I believe and Kerber, so please look for those and be aware that we're going to have
young children out running around with lots of excitement beginning probably a week from
tomorrow I think for the elementary schools and I think some other schools are starting now so
please be aware of that. Very good. We'll move now to visitor presentations.
VISITOR PRESENTATIONS: None.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Lori Haak: Thank you Mayor and council members. It's my pleasure to be before you this
evening to discuss the Fox and Dorsey wetland appeals. As we discussed in our work session 2
weeks ago, there are a number of issues with this as is probably evidenced by the half of I guess
of your packet, or electronic space I guess in today's age. What we're doing, what staff is
recommending tonight is that the City Council hold a public hearing regarding this item.
Consider the testimony and the evidence that have been presented in front of you and adopt a
motion adopting the findings of fact that are laid out before you in the staff report in that packet.
As I believe all the council members are aware, there was a document that was provided by the
applicant, that was received by the City Council over the weekend. Staff did not get a copy of
that but was able to preliminarily review that but we really have not had a chance to review it
thoroughly or to provide comment or even draft revised recommendations in light of that
document so that document does request that the council table this item. Staff does want to alert
the council to the fact that we do have a deadline looming for the consideration of this appeal so
if the council would like to table this item, you would need to receive a letter, a written extension
before your action tabling the item. The City Attorney has briefly just scratched out a letter that
would extend the review date to October 1, 2007, if the applicant's attorney would like to sign it.
And then if the council does decide to table the item, staff does recommend that the item be
tabled to a specific date, so if you could give us all something to work for, whether it's 2 weeks
out or 4 weeks out. With that all being said, I would like to just begin to give you some more of
the background on this project. We delved into it just a little bit at the work session but for just
to begin, oops I'm sorry. Got ahead of myself there. The Fox and Dorsey parcels are located in
the southwest corner of Powers Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard in the city of Chanhassen.
They're both two large agricultural parcels that are abutted by the new Powers Boulevard and are
quite close to new Highway 212. As we discussed in the work session, there is a specific process
that has been followed to this date and number 6 and 7 are the future potential parts of the
process. We did have applications made for these exemptions. There are 5 basins that are
affected that decisions were made for. The staff decisions were then made. There was an appeal
filed by the applicants to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources and a representative
from BWSR is here this evening if you have questions specific to him. That's Brad Wozney.
The Board of Water and Soil Resources then repealed, or I'm sorry, remanded that decision, or
that appeal to this Chanhassen City Council. See I'm even tripping over the process here. So
that appeal was made. BWSR said there was a local appeal process was not completed so then
that came back to the city and that's where the council's decision will fall into this process. Then
from here, once the council has made that decision, any aggrieved party can appeal to the Board
of Water and Soil Resources and then the Board of Water and Soil Resources would make the
final decision. So we're kind of in 5 or potentially 7 steps in this process. Just by way of
orientation to the site. On the north, on the top of this map is Lyman Boulevard. The key
intersection you can see there is Powers Boulevard on the top part of the map there. The 4 basins
are, I mentioned earlier that there are 5. It's actually 5, quote, unquote basins that are covered by
this exemption because 1 basin, one of the basins spans two different properties so basin 1, that
is basin 1 on both the Dorsey and the Fox pieces, and so when it's indicated in the staff report, it
actually shows up as 2 different basins because there were 2 different exemptions that were
applied for on that one basin. Basin 2 is in this really right in the center of the Dorsey parcel.
Basin 3 is in the northwest corner and Basin 4 is in the southwest corner of that parcel. So really
the decisions to make, there is a change in rule that affects the staff report as it was presented
previously and I'll get to that at the end. But this first part of the staff report is written as if that
5
140
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
change was not made, so I'll tell you what the decision was and why it was that way and then
explain to you how the change affects that decision. So the first, really the two decisions that
we're faced with is, are the exemption standards applied correctly, and that's with regard to the
wetland things. And then is the interpretation of the 10 year deed recording correct, and if that's
yes, the council should uphold staff's decisions and adopt the findings of fact in the staff report.
So the basin 1 is the one, is the basin that spans both properties and as I mentioned earlier there
are two different, and I apologize for the technical nature of this but we're going to get a little bit
into some wetland science here, and I'll try to be, I'll try to do an overview and keep it simple but
feel free to stop me if you're lost at any point. The request was an exemption under Subpart 1(a)
of the Agricultural Exemption. Generally speaking there are two bullet points. The area has to
be planted with annually seeded crops or has to be in crop rotation of pasture grass or legumes,
which is beans basically, 6 of 10 years before 1991. So that's the first criteria. And then the
second criteria is that it must be a Type I or a Type II wetland. And Type I and Type II wetlands
are the seasonally flooded areas that are really more, they usually look more like pasture or
grassy areas that are low lying areas that are again, 6 out of 10 years, so most years they're wet
but in those other 4 years they could look really dry and you could be able to get a crop out of
those. So that's the first exemption request on the Dorsey part of that basin, which is the west
part of that basin. For the Fox exemption they requested an exemption of Subpart B, which is a
little bit different. In order to fulfill those requirements for that exemption it has to be a bottom
land, hardwood Type I wetland which is more typically found in, well like riverene type systems
or those sorts of areas with hardwood forests. Type II, or either that or a Type II or a Type VI
wetland less than 2 acres in size, and a VI, Type VI wetland is like a scrub shrub. Something
with a lot of shrubby vegetation and more woody vegetation than this has, and again it has to be
less than 2 acres in size. And staff's decision was in both of these cases to deny those
applications or those exemptions. The aerial photography and the best professional judgment by
the TEP, Technical Evaluation Panel showed us that this was not a Type I or a II wetland, Type
II wetland and it was not seeded annually or in crop rotation of pasture grasses and legumes, so
that was the TEP's recommendation and staff's decision. And similarly with Fox, the Fox
exemption for this basin, we did find that it was not a Type I or II wetland or a Type VI wetland.
It was a Type III wetland it was not less than 2 acres in size. The whole basin altogether is 3.3
acres. And just to give you an idea, it might be best is council could take a look at this. See if I
can, okay. You're not even going to be able to see that pointer there. Alright, I apologize to
those of you who are at home but this area in here, we want to point it on it here. You can see it
on the monitors a little bit more. This is Basin 1. The property line, this is the Dorsey property.
This is the Fox property and this is the area that we're looking at with Basin 1 and normally I
wouldn't have included these photos but I think you can see, I think you'll be able to see the
change in vegetation. There is, if you look at aerial photos often, which those of us on the
Technical Evaluation Panel, aerial photos are a huge tool for us so we look at a lot of, a lot, a lot
of wetlands in these photos and this area here is really the area that is driving the typing
determination, and this is from 1981. There were some changes made to this basin after
December of 1988 that will show up in the last slide that I'll show you. It was excavated and that
made it wetter, well the contention of the Technical Evaluation Panel is that it was always wet so
it may have been wet, being a wetter wetland than Type II so that was what was driving our type
determination to go to a Type III. Type III, IV and V wetlands is the wettest types. Okay, so
that was 1981. This is 1988 and in this area, because of the shading of this photo it's difficult to
see but there is an area that appears to be open water in this area and there's definitely a change
6
141
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
in vegetation in there, and so again this is before the alteration took place, and this is what was
driving the TEP's determination of the different type of basin other than a Type I or II because in
Type I and II, when these photos were taken, you wouldn't see standing water. And this is
1990, and here you can clearly see the open water area. I'm trying to find another area of open
water on the site to compare it to and unfortunately I can't see one right off the top of my head
there but this is what open water looks like. So yes, because this was excavated you would
expect to see a type change there. And there's some finer points of the deduction that would get
into you know the typing, you know even after that excavation took place. It still remains a Type
III, IV or V wetland and therefore not eligible for this exemption so are you understanding the
aerial photos to the best of your ability? Alright. So Basin 2 is the basin that is in the center of
the Dorsey parcel, and again exemption requests was Subpart 1(a) which is plant, annually
planted 6 of 10 years before 1991 and it has to be Type I or II wetland. That exemption was
approved by staff because the aerial was annually seeded with crops from '81 through '86 which
is 6 of the 10 years. It is a Type I wetland, and then at this time it was, at the time of the staff
decision it was subject to that 10 year deed restriction, and again I'll talk to you about that in a
little bit. Basin 3 is the wetland in the northwest corner of the Dorsey parcel. Again the same
exemption was requested. This request was denied because again it didn't meet one of those two
criteria. It was not planted with annually seeded crops or in a rotation of pasture grass and
legumes. And then Basin 4 is the basin in the southwest corner. Again the same exemption was
requested and that was approved by staff because it was annually seeded with crops 6 of 10 years
prior to 1991. It was a Type I or a II wetland, but once again with that approval at that time it
would have been subject to the 10 year deed restriction. So really the contested points, the heart
of the applicant's request or appeal are really that the activities are, the wetland basins themselves
are exempt. Not the activities, and both staff and the Technical Evaluation Panel and yeah, staff
and the Technical Evaluation Panel recognize that that's indeed the case in the Wetland
Conservation Act. It's the activities that are exempt. A basin in and of itself is not exempt until
an activity is proposed, and we can discuss that a little bit more later if you like. The exemptions
apply at the time of the application, not automatically with the passage of the Wetland
Conservation Act. That kind of goes with the previous one. It's not that automatically in 1991
all basins that were exempt under the rules were exempted and you could just go ahead and do as
you wish with those. It was that the applications must be processed in order for that exemption
to apply. And now we'll talk about this 10 year deed restriction that I've been mentioning this
evening. Up until June, what was it? August 1st. Up until August 1st the Wetland Conservation
Act had a provision that said that if you drained, excavated or filled a wetland under one of the
ag exemptions that there was a 10 year deed recording, deed restriction that should be placed on
the property. So what that would mean is, if you went out to your property and filled 5 acres of
wetland that was exempt under this exemption, you wouldn't be able to then develop that to a
higher use the following year, or something like that. So it was intended to be, and interpreted to
be that type of restriction. As of August 1st this provision is no longer in the Wetland
Conservation Act. And some of the other exemptions have changed since then, which makes
this even a little bit more complicated. But this restriction does no longer exist within the
Wetland Conservation Act. Neither the Technical Evaluation Panel nor the local government
unit, which is the City of Chanhassen were aware of the proposed changes to the rule. The City
Code relies on the exemption language for the state rules so we don't have a similar provision
within our ordinance that talks about this, so it's not that the state took it out so now we can back
up and just use the city rule. We don't have anything similar because we relied on those
7
142
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
provisions in the state rule. And staff just wanted to highlight that the TEP recommendation may
have been different in light of that rule change so I can't, I can't tell you what that discussion
would have been, but it's possible that that could have been different had we known about this
change when we were making our recommendation as a TEP. So just in summary, there are 3
basin exemption requests that were denied by staff and 2 that were approved. It's Basins 1 on
both properties were denied. Basin 3 was denied and Basins 2 and 4 were approved. So once
again the staff recommendation is to hold a public hearing to consider the testimony and the
evidence that are presented in front of you, and to adopt a motion adopting, sorry for the spelling.
Easily changed. Of the Findings of Fact as included in the staff report. And once again the
council does need to have an extension in hand prior to council action if you wish to table this
item. And with that I would be happy to take any questions you might have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for staff at this time.
Councilman Peterson: Couple probably. Lori, what's staff's interpretation of the crops? You
know you look at the pasture. You look at, I'm trying to in my mind. I was raised on baling hay
and alfalfa. You don't seed alfalfa every year. You hopefully never have to, and I'm assuming
that the act, you know there are a lot of farmers that have always had alfalfa that don't seed so as
I read your summary, it looked as though to qualify under that Act you had to seed every year.
That doesn't make sense to me, so help me understand that.
Lori Haak: Right, and we did, we went by the letter of the rule. I mean that's what we can do.
That's how it's been interpreted by the Board of Water and Soil Resources and local government
units throughout the state is, you know it has to be seeded and 6 of 10 years. So you could get
you know in some of those years you could get something like that. But, and in addition we did
see some of the photographs that appeared in the packet that was distributed by the applicant
over the weekend, and we had seen some of those in the past and what we can tell you is that
based on those photos and the aerial photos, it appears that there wasn't, especially on Basin 1,
one of the photos shows clearly that it's reed canary grass, which is not a, it can be used as
pasture but it's not an annually seeded grass so you know in combination you know of reviewing
the aerial photos plus the other photos plus again a strict interpretation of the rule.
Councilman Peterson: Second question. You know it sounded by your description that in area 1
that that's probably the most pronounced visually, that you could see water and it was an easier
for you to determine that it was wetland. And in 3 which is the other one of contrast, did you
ever see water in any of the photos there or not? Describe that, describe 3 to me as it relates to 1.
Lori Haak: Sure, just one clarification on that. The water, the open water in Basin 1 isn't so
much about whether or not it's wetland. It's the type of wetland that it is so. I just wanted to
make sure we were all on the same page there. Type III is, you know it's, it's a wetland. You
know it's difficult to describe in.
Councilman Peterson: I wasn't asking for defining Type III…
Lori Haak: Sure.
8
143
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Councilman Peterson: At area 3, how that differs from area 1 because I think they are, even by
your description they're different types.
Lori Haak: Yep.
Councilman Peterson: So maybe I interrupted you when you were still trying to answer my
question.
Lori Haak: No, that's okay. While Basin 1 does have that deep part, and that is really what the
crux of the matter is for that basin. Again the basin is the correct type, or that was the TEP and
the staff's decision. It was the correct type but it wasn't, there wasn't the evidence of the annual
seeding in 6 of the 10 years. So that's what drilled the decision on Basin 3 is not the typing of
the wetland, but rather the evidence that was presented regarding that wetland.
Councilman Peterson: Okay. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Other questions at this time?
Councilwoman Ernst: Just a question that might be, probably to Brad. I'm not sure but does the
state have the same interpretation as what the city does on this issue?
Brad Wozney: Chair and Councilwoman Ernst. I'm one member of the Technical Evaluation
Panel so we had a unanimous TEP decision so thus far using the old rules, we had a unanimous
decision. But there's a little bit of question as to how it applies to the new rules.
Councilwoman Ernst: Well there's a little bit of question as to, can you tell me what that is?
Brad Wozney: Yeah. It has to do with this 10 year deed recording that was mentioned earlier
and in addition whether it even, whether the, all the basins qualified for an ag exemption. I
believe it was Basin 2 that you know could come into question again applying the new rule.
Mayor Furlong: So to clarify that if I may. Basin 2 was approved. The exemption request was
approved for Basin 2, but it was also the TEP decision was also to include the 10 year deed
restriction as part of that approval. Are you saying that under the new rules that have eliminated
the 10 year deed restriction, that Basin 2 may not have met the standard for approval?
Brad Wozney: That's possible, yes.
Mayor Furlong: What changed there, because the, as I'm reading the exemption was approved
because it was annually seeded with crops from '81 to '86 and was a Type I wetland.
Brad Wozney: Under the new rule that Type I criteria is no longer present. That subpart is
entirely scrapped from the new rules.
Mayor Furlong: So there's no exemption available for a Type I wetland under the new rules?
9
144
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Brad Wozney: Except on pasture land.
Mayor Furlong: Exempt on pasture land.
Brad Wozney: So, yeah. Generally that provision from the old agricultural exemption has
moved to the drainage exemption and it's, I don't want to confuse you. Yeah we have, I mean
that's the confusion here is which rules we're applying or which rules your council and legal
counsel and city council decides to apply.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Litsey: Would the new rules change the decision on the denials? Or it may change
it, what I'm hearing is it may change it on the ones that were approved but not on the denials.
The denial part would still stand either way.
Brad Wozney: Likely.
Councilman Litsey: So it may become under the new rules more restrictive, or the chances of
denial would be greater for those that you approved.
Brad Wozney: That's possible.
Councilman Litsey: But not the other way around? Am I confusing? In other words the denials
probably stand either way?
Brad Wozney: I believe so.
Councilman Peterson: Well I don't think, I think we're putting you in an awkward spot. I don't
think he has to answer the question.
Councilman Litsey: No, I'm not asking if you can't but it doesn't sound, it sounds like other
criteria were applied to the denials that would stand either way regardless of the new rules.
However, the ones that were approved, that could change. And that's all I'm saying. I'm not
saying, you don’t even have to answer that but that's the way at least I'm hearing it if that's
correct.
Brad Wozney: And I am not an attorney by any stretch of the imagination but I don't know what
component of was appealed of the decision. It sounds as though it might just be a component of
the decision say for that 10 year deed restriction.
Councilman Litsey: Okay. I understand it's a very tough, we're all trying to get our arms around,
or wade through it. No pun intended.
Mayor Furlong: Let me go back to Councilwoman Ernst because she was in questions when I
interrupted.
10
145
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Councilwoman Ernst: And that's fine. No, but I just wanted to say that I wouldn't want to form
an opinion based on a would or could but maybe should or is and so before I would form an
opinion on it I would want to get more specifics on it.
Mayor Furlong: Other questions for staff at this time? Councilman Peterson.
Councilman Peterson: Can I just go back and clarify, because I had, and I don't want to page
through 40 pages of staff reports. Walk me through again of the 4 that we, the 4 wetlands we've
got, what types you guys have determined them to be again just to, you may have already done
that, and now I'm locked out but.
Lori Haak: Alright. Okay again this is Basin 1. Basin 2. Basin 3, Basin 4. Basin 1 is a Type III
wetland with a Type II fringe and is 3.3 acres total. About 2 acres of the property, the Dorsey
property. Site 2 is here. It's a Type I wetland. Approximately .96 acres. Type III, or I'm sorry,
Site 3 is a Type II. 0.39 acres approximately. And Site 4, a Type II, .17 acres on the Dorsey
parcel and that's about 1.3 acres total, and that includes some down on the Fox property.
Different Fox actually. And then.
Councilman Peterson: How much for.
Lori Haak: And then some over on the west side.
Councilman Peterson: How much is below, what's the total wetland area?
Lori Haak: The total wetland area of that basin is 1.34 acres.
Councilman Peterson: And only 0.17 acres is on the Dorsey property?
Lori Haak: Correct. And those are outlined in the TEP Findings of Fact.
Councilman Peterson: What'd you say the total acreage of the first basin is?
Lori Haak: 3.3 acres total. About 2.0 on the Dorsey property and about 1.3 on the Fox property.
Mayor Furlong: Councilman Peterson, still any?
Councilman Peterson: No, that was my questions.
Mayor Furlong: Since we're talking about wetland type. You said Basin 1 was Type III with
Type II fringes. How does this, looking at the exemption request, how does, is there a partial
exemption option or how is the wetland graded?
Lori Haak: No.
Mayor Furlong: And what if you have multiple types within the wetland exemption area? Or
request for exemption.
11
146
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Lori Haak: The direction that we've gotten from the State in the past, and other LGU's have
gotten as well, is that the deepest portion drives the hydrology of that basin so it's typed you
know unless you have a 500 acre basin that's Type II with a 500 square foot Type III in the
center, in which case you go more to a prevailing type, but in cases like this where you've got
almost equal parts of both, you would use the deepest part to make that determination.
Mayor Furlong: The deepest portion unless it is, it is overly weighted to determine…
Lori Haak: Right.
Mayor Furlong: And then use that same type classification across the entire wetland?
Lori Haak: Right. Which is why in the rules it doesn't say you know for a Type II/III and for a
Type III/VI something else or you know. It doesn't break it down to that extent. I believe in the
packet too it does have generalized descriptions of the wetland types and it talks a little bit about
kind of prevailing vegetation and that sort of thing. And that's pulled directly from the
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act.
Councilman Litsey: So if we delay this decision, then it goes back to yourself and to others to
take a look at applying the new standards? To see if that changes anything.
Lori Haak: That's definitely one option. I think in the short amount of time that we've had since
you know, become accustomed to these new rules, we've had limited discussions to that end.
But certainly staff would rely heavily on, directive staff being legal counsel to discuss in that.
And also additional conversations with other folks at the Board of Water and Soil Resources in
order to get them to assist us in this.
Councilman Litsey: Because I agree with Councilwoman Ernst that I'd like to have a more, well
it's possible that our definition of where we're heading with this applying new standards.
Mayor Furlong: A couple more questions, or at least one more at this time and then there may be
some others after we get into the public hearing this evening. The exemption, and I'm looking at
the staff reports now. To allow one is for the activities in the wetland. And you said that's
different than, there's an activities exemption, not a surveyed wetland exemption. Is the
exemption specific to agricultural activities? For these types of activities or is it, so another type
of activity in a development would not, they would not be exempted for?
Lori Haak: That's correct. The exemptions that exist in the Wetland Conservation Act are
broken up into different categories. There's exemptions for subculture. For harvesting trees.
There's exemptions for drainage. Ditch law kind of comes into wetland law a little bit. There's
exemptions for boy, what are some of the other ones? Brad, can you help me out? I hit drainage
and subculture and the agricultural exemptions but there's at least 8 different categories of
exemptions and so those are the types of activities that are exempted under the Act.
12
147
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: Okay. So the exemption, if approved, would be specific to the activity of
agriculture? Agriculture activities really. Second question. The two requirements as I see it,
and were in the report is that the wetland that was planted annually with seeded crops, which I
think is pretty clear to me. Second question from a description or definition standpoint. It says
within a crop rotation seeding of pasture grass or legumes, so I guess my question is, crop
rotation seeding is, seems to be the key as the alternative to annually seeding crops. How did the
TEP committee define that crop rotation seeding? What would meet that criteria?
Lori Haak: Sure. Well again we looked at the patterns that are left on the aerial photography
really, that's really our best tool when it comes down to this. We again rely on it heavily and so
when you've looked at a bunch of aerial photos over you know a decade or so you start to notice
signatures in the ways that the crops are planted and if you're seeing those more often than not,
those are the types of indicators that we would use to make those determinations so again.
Mayor Furlong: I guess my question is to Councilman Peterson's question earlier with alfalfa I
think was his example that you don't annually seed alfalfa. What, in terms of crop rotation
seeding, define for us what that practice would be? Or how the committee interpreted that part
of the definition. Is it alternating different types of crops over a period of years or is it a different
type of practice?
Lori Haak: And again you would see it in 6 of those 10 years and that's the other.
Mayor Furlong: And I'm trying to get my arms around what it is. What is a crop, how do you
define? I can understand annually seeded crops. You seed it annually every year. What is the
crop rotation seeding? Define that for me.
Lori Haak: It's going to be the, you know it's going to be a seeding that's going to look very
similar to that. The annually seeded. If you're in a crop rotation you know typically what you
see is, you see the corn. You see the soybeans.
Mayor Furlong: You see multiple types.
Lori Haak: Right.
Mayor Furlong: Or different types over the years of plantings.
Lori Haak: Exactly.
Mayor Furlong: Of annual plantings.
Lori Haak: Right.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Peterson: You know for example what I was struggling with is let's say you have an
alfalfa field that doesn't have, it's all flat and 100% without any wetlands on it. And that, you
13
148
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
keep it like that. You don't seed it for 10 years. What you're talking about is basically row crops
is that you can see that difference because you know it's going to be different types. The rows
are going to be different. There's a differentiation. What I'm confused with is, is that the seeding
aspect of it. But if there is an area that's not seeded or not growing at alfalfa every year, you
know that means there's something wet generally. Wet or dry, one of the two.
Mayor Furlong: But there could be you know a crop rotation. Not only are they different plants
but they're also, there are areas that would just be left without crops through the possible rotation
as well. Depending on what that rotation plan was.
Councilman Peterson: Yeah, most farmers don't leave…
Mayor Furlong: But to the extent that there are different crops there, pictures would show
different types of uses. With the rotation crop. And I just want, that was my thought. I just
wanted to clarify that there's still that seeding aspect associated with it which Councilman
Peterson brought up.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, if I may add. I think Lori you know hit on the point. It should probably
say removal of a crop every year. Not the planting of a crop every year, and removal would be
cutting of hay, and I think from what Lori explained, tell me if I'm wrong Lori but you
mentioned that it didn't look as if it had been cut even, and it was canary grass, and.
Lori Haak: Well that was one of the basins that we can say that. That we've got a surficial shot
of the landscape. It's not just an aerial photo so that's where we can get into even better typing
with, now with our more progressive aerial photography we can get into you know reed canary
grasses and you can differentiate a little bit better between grasses species and things like that,
but with this, I believe it was from 1980 we had a shot from you know standing there, looking
out over this basin and so I can say that for the one basin and that doesn't mean it wasn't cut you
know a month or two before that because it's just one shot in time so I'd be hesitant to really kind
of make that blanket statement for all those wetlands but for that one at that point we can say
that.
Mayor Furlong: Did the staff look at, I mean the statements in here, for the ones denied is saying
that it was not annually seeded crop or the rotation. So for you looking at the requirement for the
exemption, which was seeded.
Lori Haak: Right. Well yeah.
Mayor Furlong: Annually seeded or in a crop rotation.
Lori Haak: Or in crop rotation for 10 years.
Mayor Furlong: Crop rotation seeding.
Lori Haak: Right.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Litsey: But there was also a problem with the wetland classification too right?
Lori Haak: Right. For a number of the basins there was.
Councilman Litsey: So we actually have two factors that come into play.
Lori Haak: Correct. Right.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Peterson: Mr. Chair, I've got one more question.
Mayor Furlong: Certainly.
Councilman Peterson: Lori what's happen in a scenario that, let's say a person has a Type I
wetland. I call it a low area. And they go in and they deepen it and make a pond out of it and it's
now 5 feet deep. And now cattails grow and where it might have been exempt at one point in
time was self created into a Type III or IV or V. How is that interpreted? Is that a whole
different half hour discussion or?
Lori Haak: Yeah. There is an exempt, actually this is another category of the exemptions called
incidental wetland exemptions and it falls a little bit, it's a little less clear when you're excavating
an existing wetland, but if you have that alfalfa field that you were talking about before that has
no wetland on it whatsoever and you decided you wanted to dig the same pond 5 feet deep and
all of a sudden it got cattails there, then that would be eligible for one of these incidental wetland
exemptions. And again, like I said, the best I can say to your example is, it gets really tricky
once you're excavating an existing wetlands because it starts to talk more about, I believe the
language, do you have the rule Brad? I'm sorry I didn't bring the book down but the rules. The
rule says, for purposes um. Something to the effect, not intended to create a wetland. So for
example, and actually this is part of, thank you. This is actually part of the documentation that
the applicant submitted with the initial application as well as with the additional information that
was submitted. They do talk about the deepening and the expansion of the wet area in that Basin
1, and basically when the Technical Evaluation Panel looked at the application for that permit
that was acquired in 1987 or '88, the intent said pond but every staff report that was written, and
the recommendations of staff at that time were as if they were building it for a wildlife pond. It
was not ever, from staff's perspective, intended to be a storm water pond because there's really
no function of a storm water pond in that location. It seemed to be more of a habitat
improvement so that's why staff's recommendation was as it was and findings of such so.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Are there any other questions at this time? If not what I'd like to do is
move on and begin our public hearing with inviting the applicants to come up as part of the
appeals process. To address the council.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Kurt Deter: Thank you Mr. Mayor. Good evening council. My name is Kurt Deter. I practice
with the Rinke Noonan firm in St. Cloud. First of all definitely we will sign the extension to
allow for the review of all the information. If there's something I can sign tonight, I will
certainly do that. As you can see this is like reading the tax code and I will try and take some of
the blame for that. I was involved in 1991, Representative Marsh from Sauk Rapids was the lead
author of WCA and I was involved at that time and a number of meetings concerning a number
of the exemptions so I, sometimes I take the credit but I think in this case I'll take the blame for
some of the confusion, and in the fairness of Brad and Lori, it is a very difficult interpretation
and I've been on most of those wetland groups and WCA work groups trying to interpret these
rules. I want to make my comments fairly brief tonight because this is such a factually intensive
matter where Mr. Dorsey and possibly Mr. Fox will be providing the information to make the
record complete. As Lori, I'll just call you Lori if that's alright, that one of the reasons that this
was remanded to the council was to make a complete record because it is not a straight forward
situation. There's a number of basins. A number of issues on those basins. A number of factual
issues going back to prior to 1991, all of which have already stated are very fact intensive and
want to make a record of that. Mr. Dorsey has put a packet together, and again I apologize that it
wasn't here earlier but we're compiling information as we go and obviously that's another reason
for any extension that's needed. We want to make sure there's a complete review of all the
information submitted. The important points that I'd like to make is that in 1991 the passage of
WCA was very controversial and one of the main issues was the exemption for draining or filling
in agricultural areas that had been cropped 6 out of 10 years. And crop has a very broad
definition that you've seen in the rules and we've also attached the Carl Smith case out of
Hubbard County that our office handled. That was a very similar situation where it wasn't a row
crop situation, and we'd ask you to review that. I've also had extensive discussions with Jim
Haertel from BWSR and again he worked with us on this on a daily basis and we still have
discussions on it almost weekly basis of how all these different things fit together. So one of the
main things we wanted to accomplish tonight is to get a complete record in front of the council
and to give staff adequate time to review that information. I think first talking about Basins 2
and 4. Those exemptions were approved. We asked staff to review the 10 year requirement for a
number of reasons. One, under the new rules it's not required and secondly, the exemption is as
of 1991 is our position. Not as to the date of application. In other words if you had a cropping
history, the broad definition of cropping history in 1991, that exemption is there and there is not
a 10 year easement put on it, or requirement of the 10 year restriction from the date of
application. The tens of thousands of acres of farmland in Minnesota that are Type I and II that
clearly meet the 6 out of 10 or more than that, they simply can do their activity without the
restriction. So on 2 and 4 we've asked staff to review those. The exemption's been approved.
It's simply a matter of the 10 year restriction and we believe under the intent, both under the
original legislation and original rules, and under the new rules that that is not required. On
Basins 1 and 3, again those are fact intensive cases and I'm going to allow Mr. Dorsey with your
permission to go through that. He's spent a great deal of time going through a number of
historical documents and again, although, and I'm clearly not an expert on aerial photographs but
I reviewed a number of them. Aerial photographs are an important tool but they are not the end
all to what actually took place out there. Many times the landowner has information that is
different than what the aerial photo, because an aerial photo is a specific second in time and
depending on when that was taken, you can have a lot of different interpretations of what
actually happened during the whole growing season. So, and then finally before I turn it over to
16
151
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mr. Dorsey, the question came up about, whether it's fringe Type II or if there's a spot of Type
III. Our position is, and my understanding of the rules, it's not the deepest point. It's the
predominant type of wetland within that wetland scheme and it's not that you take the deepest
and say then the entire wetland is that type, so for the record we want to make sure that that is
reviewed using what we believe is a proper interpretation. It's the predominant one. And then
Mr. Dorsey will go through that pond as far as the exemption was there in 1991. What he did,
he'll supply information to that, that it wasn't a Type III and the work that he did in that location
did not make it a Type III. And I'll be available for questions and maybe you want to go, I'll try
to answer some now but it may make more sense if Mr. Dorsey gives you the information so
you're seeing the whole picture if that's alright with the council.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Kurt Deter: Thank you.
Rick Dorsey: Good evening Mayor and members of the council. I'd like to first go through
some different things and you each have a copy of this booklet and it may be helpful for me to
have you go to a certain page in there if you can't see what I'm going to show you so…
Mayor Furlong: Do you have one for staff?
Kate Aanenson: No.
Rick Dorsey: We tried to get another copy.
Kate Aanenson: No.
Rick Dorsey: I have another one but I need it right now so.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Craig and I can share.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you very much.
Rick Dorsey: I'd first like to start out with is why we're even considering looking into this
possibility and the first thing is about a year and a half ago we started looking at the issues
because there were things going on around us. The Fox's and myself, and we foresee that there's
going to be some safety problems in being able to farm this site as we go on into the future until
such time as some day it will become developed. The road started being built around us now.
I'm surrounded with roads having 10 to 12,000 cars per day going around it. Two of the fields in
the Fox's parcels are basically land locked where they cannot get access to them with farm
equipment and the fields that are broken up because of Powers and into smaller sizes as well.
With those concerns we looked at how can we take and make sure that the operations are safe for
the farm operator as well as for motorists going up and down the road because you do need
places for them to load grain. Unload grain. To load fertilizer. Load seed, etc.. So the process
we had was to try and combine these fields and in doing so, if you can follow that one up there.
Right now what we have is, here's Lyman Boulevard. Here's Powers. There's a tree line that's
17
152
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
somewhat of a drop going into the Fox Family parcel and then there's a drainage ditch that comes
along here across the whole Jeff Fox property and Terri Fox property. I have one entrance
coming into our house and barn up here. There is an entrance down here…ditch so you can't get
access to the north side of the property. That's why the Fox Family piece used to access to plow.
Now they have to come in somewhere…but there'll be damage that will be done over time doing
that. As well as just trying to get grain trucks and semi's load up corn. You can't have it
bouncing over curbs and trying to go over hills. So what we are looking at is to open up the
center part of the area so it can be farmed and it will be more efficient as well for farming
purposes to be able to come around the tree line and then be able to access this site so the whole
thing could be reached and accessed from our driveway. So that's how it started out. We looked
at, from our standpoint, my own family's standpoint, there's a lot more information than you
were shared with so far tonight dealing with the Site #1. Site #1, why it looks the way it does
today. It didn't look like that in the time period in question, and that's what I wanted to show you
here. That with exemption 1(a), there's two time periods you're looking at. You're looking at
1991, January 1st. If you look at this as a time line, I put a break there. Certain things happened
before January 1 and certain things after January 1, 1991 when the laws passed. Exemption 1(a)
which deals with existing, pre-existing land uses for the specific exemption I put forth for
activities that actually happened before the law was passed. So if the farmer had drain tile in, did
something, made an investment to make the land farmable more than half the time, 6 out of 10
years, that's what the laws, the intention of the law really is. It doesn't even have to be investing
into drain tile. It says just actually a wetland that was dry 6 out of 10 years would also be
exempt. So in order to pass the law on farming that is still considered one of the leading
industries in the state of Minnesota. Most of the land in the state of Minnesota and unless the
farmers got on board it would never have passed. The State created some covenants basically
with the land holders and if you had done certain things in the past you will be exempt from
regulation on those sites in the future. If certain criteria are met. What's the criteria? Well that
prior to 1991, if you've demonstrated 6 out of 10 years that the land was in farm production, that
the broad definition that's there, and there's another document called the SONAR which Brad can
tell you about. He told me about it. I read it. Gives the background information as to how a
group of people who made the rules that went with the statute interpreted these things, and there
was a lot of discussion from a lot of different perspectives. The question about is hay a crop.
Hay is considered a crop if it's introduced and it can be mechanically harvested, and that's right
out of the SONAR report. And that was looked at because certainly there are farmers out there
who do nothing but raise hay and they were not to be excluded from the law protecting their own
land. And while it was written the way it was, if you look at the real intention that's there, the
intention was not to take away land from farmers who had already invested in that land or were
making a living off of it. Going forward, the other side of the line is where the real…is allowed
to take place to prevent future loses of wetland. The past ones we looked at is having to be,
some of them giving up, and we're not talking about all of them but it was Type I's and II's which
were considered lower grade wetland. And going forward, they're still even exempt, or
exemptible I should say under certain conditions. So the break point is, looking before 1991. If
you put that line in the sand, if an activity had occurred and the activity is actually defined as
draining, filling or excavating. It's not farming or forestry. They look at different in the
definitions. So it was property that's been drain tiled or excavated prior to 1991 and for 6 out of
10 years it's been planted, in my case with hay 6 out of 10 years. Mechanically harvested and
introduced the seed at some point in time period, it would be classified as qualifying. The other
18
153
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
exemption for example 1(b), which is on the Fox's property would deal with the today issue.
They looked at the land today, not historical land. Number 1(a), the only way you could look at
it in determining it's condition prior to 1991 and 6 out of 10 years prior to 1991, we're looking at
those years. We're not looking at today. We're looking at back then. What was the status and
the character of the land at that point in time? If it was such that it met the criteria of the law, it
was exempt from regulations of WCA. Certainly there's other wetland agencies that would have
a say in things and cities that…as well, however from the standpoint of WCA, that's what they
were looking at. So in a nutshell, the intent as best we can understand it is that if the legislature
trying to create the law and to protect future wetlands, that's negotiated and says if you used the
land more than half the time, if you're able to use the land more than half the time in a defined
period, and they picked out the 10 years prior to the law being passed, and you could pass
equipment over it and farm it with equipment and that land was something that they were willing
to negotiate away to get the law to pass. It would either suggest that improvements had to make
such as drain tiling or that in fact the land was not really, that high quality of a wetlands for 6 out
of 10 years more than half the time was dry enough to pass equipment on it. From the standpoint
of again, is hay acceptable? There has been a ruling that the LGU is actually in Cass County for
Carl Smith a year ago was over turned in favor of the land holder saying that hay is in fact an
acceptable crop as long as it's introduced and as long as that's mechanically harvested. I'd like to
go on and talk a little bit about the particulars of my property and the history that's there because
they do play an important part in making a decision on what is there and why we're looking at it
and feel that it deserves an exemption. First of all the, dealing with the question of what was the
status prior to 1991. Within the packet of information that you had and previously as well, we've
given most of this information to the TEP panel and sat down with them for better than an hour
and went over all this information back in February. We identified that this was pond wasn't out
there. It was in fact a farm field that was in grassland. You can see in this area right here, you
can actually see a piece of equipment there. Sitting in the field at that point in time. That picture
was taken in 1981. I'm not sure where, if anybody can say what species of grass is in there. I
certainly can't see it but I do know what I planted there and what I've harvested there. We sold
the grass out of that field for premium horse hay and there's a lot of blue grass mixed in with it
and in 1984, which I want to point out the area that truly is considered wetland in that time
period is no bigger than where that pond is. If you look at Exhibit L in your booklet, there's a
map of a survey that was done when the pond was excavated in 1989 and I guess one step before
that to say why it was excavated. We plant, or we harvested hay out of that field from, we
bought the land in 1979 and harvested it through 1986. In 1987 a neighbor had driven across the
ditch that drained the draintile...draintiles at this time. You don't put draintiles in to let… It was
in hay, which is an acceptable crop and there's a market for the crop. In that it was wetland. I'm
not disputing it was at some time wetland, but it was improved wetlands with draintile in it
which made it farmable. And we could take a crop off. That's not to say that there's certainly
not times in the year, right after a spring melt or after a large rain that you get puddling on it, but
that's what would be expected for the draintile to work. It has to percolate through the soil and
be absorbed into the tile and then flow out through the tile. So you can even get burn marks in
the field from a field that has draintile because it's still too wet or in some places can be too dry.
The picture that you saw at the very beginning in the staff report, on 7-18-81, it was actually
1979 picture just for the record. The wetland here, what I was going to say in 1987 the farmer
who started renting it. I had rented it for a number of years before that and another picture is on
Exhibit I. The tractor. Very good farming practices. We contoured the hill with grass and
19
154
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
alfalfa. That lower ground is recommended to us to leave in grass as well because it was part of
the drainage system that enters the ditch and that if we didn't do it, even though it was draintiled
in that area, we're apt to have wash outs and would fill up the ditch in a matter of no time so why
it was stepped in grass was that reason. That's not an unacceptable practice in farming. Many
hayfields are probably generations old in some circumstances. The neighboring property in any
case drove over the ditch in 1987 continuously and collapsed the ditch. The draintile didn't have
anywhere for the water to flow and then it backed up and created in effect in a field that was
useful an incidental wetland in our minds. Started to puddle. That was the first signs of water
that we'd seen on it. The picture that you just saw was not, was a natural occurrence. That
draintile had been there since about 1963 and started to back up in 1987. Put grass and we
moved quickly on it in 1988 and put in a permit in probably July of '88 at which time we started
pursuing it and by December of '88, had it on the council meeting agenda to get it excavated to
try and contain water within the area. If you look at Exhibit M that's a wetland map, or excuse
me a soils map and you're going to see right here it says PM in there. A peak muck soil and if
you notice that, on that Exhibit L, the page before, the shape of the pond that's excavated was the
peak and muck shape. It was intentionally dug out at the shape of it to eliminate the peak muck
soil to help drain the field and to keep it available to be operated. The intention when we dug it
out was as a surface water pond, contrary to what it says in staff feels was our intention 20 years
ago to make that statement. We applied for a permit for a pond and if you look at Exhibit K
you'll see it says on the front page of it that the use purpose was for a pond. On our application,
if you look at the next page, 2 pages in which was the Planning Commission, or excuse me, the
letter that was sent out to the different agencies by the staff. It says the subject was a wetland
permit to create a pond in a Class II wetland. If you look at 2 pages beyond that, the Planning
Commission meeting. The planning...agenda says a wetland alteration permit to create a pond in
a Class B wetland. And there's also the Planning Commission agenda meeting, the last page of
that section and again it says a public hearing, wetland alteration permit…I think it says in here
where it says a pond. They only mentioned it a couple times for a staff member interjected the
term wildlife pond. At that point in time surface water management ponds were not a common
term for a pond. It wasn't used. That's something that's much newer and back at that time we
had ponds. We had stock ponds. You had wildlife ponds. The purpose was many times the
same thing. In our case it was in fact done intentionally because we had water backing up.
We're in the farming business. We own 40 acres. We're looking at maintaining the income
stream off the property. We did not have an intention of having it be strictly a wildlife pond.
Certainly animals can use it when it's a storm pond as well. We had to meet certain criteria to
make sure it was wildlife friendly. We had to have shallow edges so an animal didn't fall in and
drown. There was a suggestion that we have trees around it. At that point in time if you read the
Planning Commission meeting report I said I didn't want to have trees around it and there's a
reason for that. We're attempting to cut the grass around it. So anyway the pond was for it's
purpose was a storm water management pond. Again why now are we looking at it? It's the first
opportunity to move that water off the site as well. Inbetween the time period when this
happened and now there's nowhere to move it to. On the Holasek's property was where the new
storm water pond was. It was being flooded out and there was no interest in being neighbors of
flooding neighbor's property out so we maintained the storm water pond during that time period.
So from the standpoint of site number 1. I also included in the packet a report from Bonestroo
and Associates, environmental services company who has done work for the city of Chanhassen
and actually helped them to develop their wetland plan back in 1990. And they reviewed the site
20
155
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
both in the time period back before 1991, which is the 10 years, and came to the conclusion that
they're the Type I, Type II wetland during that time period and that the pond was not natural
incidental, and that where earth was put in in the very last year of the time period which falling
in within the guidelines we already met the 6 of 10 years of cropping history for the property.
Additionally I got a report this morning and had another environmental service company review
the aerials to just see what they could see in those aerials. They said the aerials again as Mr.
Deter said are not the all inclusive or the only answer. You have to look at everything that's
there. However in their report they did find that there was agricultural activity on the property.
They picked out 5 specific years that they could see it and an additional year where they said
they couldn't tell for sure but there was no conclusion that it wasn't there either. So it's two
environmental service companies have reviewed the same information and disagree with the TEP
panel. The TEP panel is also, and I don't want to jump on them because there's new information.
I think if there was a public hearing and there's new information that's here that wasn't available
to them. The law changed. We've gotten more information because of issues they've raised in
defining it. So I do want to make that clear too that there is new information here that wasn't
there previously. In any case then looking at the site there was a survey that was done in 1988 as
well when the pond was dug. The city code at that time for 1986 was very specific and said that
in order to dig a pond you had to have a survey done identifying the exact boundaries of the
wetland, is the way it's worded. A survey was done. A copy of it's in your packet. It shows that
the actual wetland at that point in time was about 6/10th's of an acre. Not 2.2 acres. So when the
TEP panel is looking at this, we believe in fact that either they didn't look at what was the
information they had in the packet, or that they looked at the size of the current area that they're
looking at which is 2 acres when they said that my site has a 2 acre wetland on it. And we're
looking at the hayfield in which there was at one time a wetland and at the time period they're
looking at was draintiled. So that's where our disagreement comes in. I put an affidavit in the
packet as well. I farmed the ground. We did take the crops off of it. We did inner seed it. We
met the criteria and we were able to do that 6 years out of 10. So they didn't want to take my
affidavit very seriously I guess and felt the aerials, which two other companies said are not
totally conclusive in any way, to over rule what that saw. From the standpoint of the crops again
I've included in the packet a letter from Chris Grattis, the Director of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation and his understanding and interpretation of what cropping is and that cropping would
be looked at in his eyes and they were instrumental of getting the laws being created. That was
to have a broad definition and not be restrictive. There's efforts when the rules were made to
make it restrictive and they were defeated and not put into the law. So from the standpoint of
site number 1, the other part of it is, I guess just to put into record, hay land is defined in
103(g).005 of Minnesota Statute. I mean hay land is an area that was mechanically harvested or
that was planted with annually seeded crops in a crop rotation seeding with grasses or legumes in
6 out of the last 10 years prior to 1991, January 1. Pasture definition, subpart 14(a) means an
area that was grazed by domestic livestock or that was planted with annually seeded crops in a
crop rotation, seeding of grasses or legumes in 6 of the last 10 years prior to 1991, January 1.
Basically it's…the difference between pasture and hay is one and they actually have taken
equipment into a field and take a crop off. Pasture which was in the definition is the lowest level
where animals are able to access it. I'd like to also just point out about that site, even in the
current state, it's a degraded wetland. At one point in time the activities that were performed on
it prior to 1991, was there draintiles and excavated. Had it not been for the water backing up
because the neighboring property lost the draintile, there'd still be draintile today and there
21
156
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
wouldn't have been an excavation project there. So it would be no different then this area here
which is also draintiled up here in Site 2. There wouldn't have been a need to do it. We were in
the business of trying to get an income off the property. Currently it's typed as a Manage 3, the
lowest grade city wetland which by definition means wetlands that have been substantially
disturbed or have the lowest functions and values. From the standpoint of the way we believe it
is, we dug it as a storm water management pond. Part of the city code was, including water,
storm water ponds, basically just saying that they're created for specific purposes. Surface water
runoff retention and/or water quality improvement. …are not to be classified as wetlands even if
they take on wetland characteristics. Some other things to note, the water level in that pond has a
very terrific bounce in it meaning in the spring it will get very full and by the time late summer,
it gets virtually dry until we have we these last springs this year it was almost dry. Same thing
last year where we didn't have the drought last year. Because of that you don't get the vegetation
that you'd expect in a Type III wetland. There are no cattails. There are no spikes. You're not
seeing the type of vegetation that would make a Type III wetland. Even today, which is in the
report from Bonestroo and Associates, they don't view it as being a Type III wetland even today.
They view it as being an excavated pond and a Type I, Type II wetland. So we feel that this area
at best was, when it was being looked at, at the time period of being evaluated, was a 6/10th of an
acre site. Equivalently about the size, actually not even as big as this circle within a 2 acre site or
about a fourth of this site. The evaluation that was done on it suggests that the 2 acre site was
looking at the whole thing. They were looking at crop activity around the edges as well. The
whole thing is a grass field which pictures show that to be the case. You're not going to have the
patterns of activity out here that reflect what's in here anyway. So the wrong area was being
looked at. As far as in the time period that was to be looked at in 1981 to 1990. Moving along
to Site 2. We're in agreement there other than the 10 year deed restriction. For the record in the
packet our position on a 10 year deed restriction, that it could not really apply or it's already been
expired and that the activity that was already done, which is what the application is for on that
site is the activity that was done before 1991. We're requesting a Certificate of Exemption for
the work that was done before 1991. If there is a 10 year deed restriction, it's already expired
because there's no activity we're looking at today for the site. We're looking at the Certificate of
Exemption for that time period. Same thing holds true for site number 1. The request was
actually for a Certificate of Exemption for the time period prior to 1991 for the activities that
happened at that time. We were asked to fill out an application and to do a bunch of things
where the primary request at the very beginning was for a Certificate of Exemption before 1991
and I'll tie it up for you. Site number, it'd be number 4 was the same thing as site number 2
again. We're in agreement and the 10 year deed restriction which we feel has been eliminated
with the new law being passed. Site number 3. There they've, the issue that's there is what is the
real area of the wetland and I think it was poorly presented by our consultant to the TEP. I've got
a map in here on Map number 1 I believe. Map number 1. Here the real question is, where was
the wetland? Our wetland. The National Wetland Inventory shows the wetland here and that's
what we, when I put my affidavit in on that we were talking about this area be, the area that was
identified on the map that…the ditch that goes along the road. Our intention was not really to do
anything along this road but we're looking at the treed area here, to take that out where historic
evidence of it is. That there is, in this area here has been in soybeans and the edge of it was in
grassland that we cut…hay. So that, process wise we were denied before we knew why we were
denied and the only way we can come back at it from an appeal so that's a different process for
that area is being appealed. But it's a question of the area that is being identified, the correct
22
157
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
area, the historic wetland is not what was ruled on. So I will make one more comment. There's
also a map, Map #3 which shows that, is a topographical map that shows the drop that goes from
that area. There is significant natural drop that it would drain. Map #3. Shows significant
natural drop that it would drain across the Fox property to the east. And I guess one more thing
as I go through here. The Fox property for Site #1 is being looked at as one site so the same
arguments hold there other than the exemption that they were requesting is a type 1(b), and a
type 1(b) is because it was not being farmed on their site. The area that was in question which
was then looked at in the current status and would require replacement. So if there's any
questions I'd be happy to answer anyone.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Dorsey?
Councilman Peterson: Mr. Chair?
Mayor Furlong: Sure.
Councilman Peterson: Mr. Mayor or Mr. Chair?
Mayor Furlong: Either one is fine.
Councilman Peterson: I do have a couple Tom. So now, going into this, to clarify, are you
disputing both 1 and 3, that they should, that no part of that should be considered a wetland or
are you just…the size?
Rick Dorsey: No. Number 1 is being disputed. Both of them are being disputed because they're
not…looked at it according to law. They weren't looked at in the time period of 1981 to 1990
only. The size of the wetland being cited as being 2 acres in the Findings of Fact is not the size
that all information shows at that time. City records show it as being 6/10th of an acre. So not
looking at it at the right timeframe. The one along Lyman Boulevard, clearly what's there and
being looked at is the current status and it's the wrong status. Whoever's fault it, my consultant's
to blame I believe for that because it was the wrong area that showed up on his map.
Councilman Peterson: So again, is the intent of your appeal for, is your desire to have us say that
neither of those parcels whatsoever are wetlands? Is your intent for us to decide, your
preference.
Rick Dorsey: Yeah.
Councilman Peterson: Is that neither of those parcels have any wetlands in as by definition of
the statute?
Rick Dorsey: No. The statute doesn't say that. The statute says that it assumes it was a wetland
and that 6 out of 10 years it was farmed. We're saying we qualified for the exemption for the
activities that occurred prior to 1991.
Councilman Peterson: On the whole area?
23
158
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Rick Dorsey: On site 1. Site #3 was not draintiled. Site #3 was filled with the expansion of
Lyman Boulevard back in '81 and then another project which put about 4 feet of fill below it
covering up the swale.
Councilman Peterson: I'm with you. So what you're saying essentially is that, on 6 of those 10
years, 100% of what is now wet was dry enough for you to plant.
Rick Dorsey: If I'm understanding what you're saying, were we able to cut hay off of Site #1 and
was it planted during that time period? The answer is yes. And Site #1 again should be
recognized at that time period as being this area right here.
Councilman Peterson: Second question. You made a conscious decision to tile at some point in
time.
Rick Dorsey: It was tiled before we bought it.
Councilman Peterson: You made a conscious decision not to necessarily fight or to take legal
action against your neighbor to clear out the leading tile.
Rick Dorsey: The end of it. The ditch in his property.
Councilman Peterson: So kind of walk me through that logic because it would seem more
logical to…
Rick Dorsey: The property owner was absent at this time, was an absentee landowner. He had a
renter who did it. Who's going to pay for it? Is the first question. The landowner says the renter
pays for it. The renter says I'm not paying for it. So it becomes a battle and so you're dealing
with it. In the meantime I'm backing up losing revenue on my side of things and so it was
apparent in talking to them that there was going to be no resolution coming from their side of the
table after a year of time had passed and our thought was well they're not going to pay for me
losing the hay because they backed the water up. So it becomes a thing of what do you do? You
have to look at your options and the option, the only one that you really had was sort of…but at
that point in time digging a hole in the ground, digging it deeper to contain that to a smaller area
would have been the solution. So we had 6/10th of an acre lost and that's what it is today.
Councilman Peterson: So I guess my question really was is it cost you money to dig it out.
Rick Dorsey: Yes it did.
Councilman Peterson: Probably a lot.
Rick Dorsey: Not that terribly much, you'd be surprised.
Councilman Peterson: I'm trying to figure out the logic versus in going to court to get.
24
159
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Rick Dorsey: Going to court doesn't mean you win.
Councilman Peterson: Doesn't mean you win but it might be. Yeah, I'm just trying to follow
logic. It may have been a small claims court scenario. You would have had to pay for it likely
but it still would have been likely cheaper than you digging a pond.
Rick Dorsey: If in fact you, I mean you put it in perspective and then you talk about the dollars
and everything else, which isn't that huge of a number.
Councilman Peterson: Probably about the same to fix it so.
Rick Dorsey: Yeah, I mean by the time you hire an attorney. Even back at that time…I can tell
you about another wetland dispute I've got going on right now down in this corner and it's
becoming very expensive and getting nowhere. So to answer your question, you end up doing
things, I guess an option but it wasn't there.
Councilman Peterson: Last question. When did the house actually get built?
Rick Dorsey: 1987. '87 it was under construction.
Councilman Peterson: Okay.
Rick Dorsey: But I'll say that didn't have anything to do with the pond. The ditch was run over
in '87 and that was the impetus for it. You can see that in the aerials. That the water started to
back up…standing water in 1988. Prior to that it never was.
Councilman Peterson: Okay. Those are my questions.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Other questions? I have a couple Mr. Dorsey. And it gets back to
the reasons that I saw in the report for why 1 and 3 were denied and they speak to not being
annually seeded or in a rotation. Were either 1 or 2 annually seeded?
Rick Dorsey: You mean 1 and 3?
Mayor Furlong: Oh I'm sorry, 1 and 3.
Rick Dorsey: 1 and 3 were in hay land. No, hay land is not annually seeded but the definition of
hay land, which I mentioned is now being overturning, and there's a copy of Exhibit 9 of Cass
County appeal where they ruled that hay land is in fact a crop for the very reason that farmers
make a living off of it and should not have been denied the same rights as somebody who puts in
a row crop. And so the answer to that is that Site #1 was in grass. The current site #3 being, the
question is what area are we talking about?
Mayor Furlong: 1 and 3 are the two that have been…
25
160
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Rick Dorsey: Correct, what our understanding is. What I'm saying is that Site #3, it depends on
what area you're looking at. The area the TEP panel ruled on. I'm not saying that that area was
farmed. They're looking strictly at the ditch.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Rick Dorsey: When I was working with this, was working off the historic site right here which
came under appeal. It's on Map number 1. After Exhibit 9.
Mayor Furlong: But what you're saying is that there's the circle shown there was.
Rick Dorsey: The circle shown here, this portion inside over here was…from '82 to '86 I believe.
I'd have to look at it. It was then put into pasture after that because they rented the land to a
farmer next door and he had his cows in there and that's when 3 started to go is when he put it
into pasture.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, so from '82 to '86 it was in beans?
Rick Dorsey: Yeah, I'd have to look at the planting map. It's in the report from, in '86 there
were… I have to look at the engineering report… Well if you're looking at the triangular area
that I was talking about, that area, if you look at the historical pictures which I don't have any. I
don't have them in my packet. Do you have them in your's? A1 through A6. If you look you're
going to see a hook shape in there and you can look at, this is you see 3 and you look at this area
here. This is in crop. In grazing, and then the corner wrapped around and came around and
connected up with, on both sides with grass that was cut…machinery could do that.
Lori Haak: And Mr. Mayor if I might. The Technical Evaluation Panel and staff reviewed the
statements that were submitted with the application. We made no other…based on that.
Rick Dorsey: And that's what I'm saying is that, our only way of talking about it was by
appealing…
Mayor Furlong: But are you saying, what I heard you say Mr. Dorsey is that the number 3 for
Basin 3, it's your belief that the TEP considered both the wetland and the ditch.
Rick Dorsey: Right. The TEP panel looked only at the current, which is on the map and that's
what you're agreeing right? You looked at the current.
Lori Haak: We looked at what was…
Rick Dorsey: What was on this map from the application that came in… and it shows it just
being tight up against the ditch. It's not showing the triangular part that I'm talking about. Our
concern in that, I mean we don't care about the ditch to be honest. It's the treed area here we
were looking at, we felt it was in the wetland. The historic wetland. I'm not showing the
delineation or the area that's being looked at. I guess it's not even an issue.
26
161
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: Okay, but again from a seeding standpoint, which is what prompted all this, it
was seeded from '82 to '86 in soybeans.
Rick Dorsey: Either in soybeans, pasture or hay. Because part of the years it was fenced off and
had animals in it. Part of it was in soybeans and part of that edge there was cultivated, or put
grass on after they put the road in and filled it in.
Mayor Furlong: So the hay or pasture which is all of 1 and part of, for a period of time in 3.
Rick Dorsey: Right.
Mayor Furlong: Getting back to my question, which the reason for denial weren't annually
seeded and were they part of a crop rotation plan then too?
Rick Dorsey: They don't have to be. They just have to be mechanically harvested. That was the
definition I gave you of hay.
Mayor Furlong: I saw that but.
Rick Dorsey: And hay land, if you look at, hay land has been accepted and it's Exhibit #9 is the
case on precedence for it.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, and I understand that. I was getting to that. I guess just to be clear, it
wasn't, there wasn't any other seeding or the crop rotation.
Rick Dorsey: There didn't have to be.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. I guess the question with regard to hay land then, because that's
obviously defined as part of it, if, what I'm looking at and what I understand the TEP committee
looked at was what the words say…
Rick Dorsey: Well.
Mayor Furlong: Hay land may, and it looks like hay land is.
Rick Dorsey: I think if you look at the SONAR report which was directed by BWSR and Brad
here can tell you that there's a SONAR report that exists and where the intent of what was to be
understood, is looked at and whenever there's a question about this, the first place they turn and
told me is going to the SONAR report. If it says this, you can't do that. Or you can do that.
Mayor Furlong: But I saw on that Exhibit 9 where it talked about, and you mentioned the Cass
County wetland.
Rick Dorsey: Yep.
27
162
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: Under the findings, number 3 it talks about the affidavit stating that the fields
were annually seeded.
Rick Dorsey: You have to read the whole, I just have the overview of it. You have to go and see
the whole court case to understand. I can give you a synopsis of it. What the farmer did is he
seeded.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. But I guess, this speaks about the annual seeding and the cover crop
rotation.
Rick Dorsey: And I was going to answer that for you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Rick Dorsey: If you read the whole synopsis or the whole, his affidavit for that case, he didn't
seed the whole field in any given year. He seeded a portion of his field each year and over a
period of time then had introduced seed into the whole area and that's really the criteria that seed
has to be, the field has to be intraseeded, meaning it can't be range land that you just go and farm.
It has to be that, whatever was put into the field was put into the field and that goes further what,
as far as our presentation, there's also another exhibit that showed in 1963 that this field was
Exhibit…shows that the two things it shows and hopefully you can see it in here. In the corner I
believe the area number 1 there it shows a Y shaped outline which is the draintile.
Mayor Furlong: Can you put that up so we can see what you're pointing to.
Rick Dorsey: My copy isn't very clear. As you're looking at it in this area, see this Y shape right
here? In the white color. And the drain, and that's the draintile line so…signature you see is the
draintile and you'll also see, and as you're seeing that, that it's not planted in alfalfa or grass or
anything at that time to be able to see that. And so what we're showing there is that the grass
field had to be at some point introduced and they were, and there has been a rotation of some
period of time as well if you go through the SONAR report, there was discussion of what is an
appropriate time for rotation…because they couldn't decide but there's a time of 20 or 25 years
was what was talked about and that's why it never was put in there. What I would like to say is
this is a lot of information and I wouldn't expect you, I've been studying it for a number of
months trying to learn it. You certainly would have questions for it. There's certainly some legal
sides of things that definitely helps to know and have gone through legal counsel. From our
standpoint what we do see is that the simple term and reading of the law is that this side of 10
years it was cropped. I've provided evidence that that's the case. The TEP panel didn't look at
hay as being a crop. With the added information we have with the case precedence, we think
that that may influence the TEP's position had they had that information. And then the other part
is the type of wetland and the information that we've provided again, 1988 the City in their
permitting process had identified it as a Class B wetland and that information's in the packet as
well. Class B wetland in the city code is listed as a Type II wetland, so it never was anything
more than that and the only reason why water was there is from incidental reasons. And none of
the engineers we've talked to suggested at all that it could be a Type III wetland based on the
scenario.
28
163
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Councilman Litsey: So you're also disputing the wetland classification?
Rick Dorsey: Absolutely. It's not a Type III in our mind. It's man made. We dug it out.
There'd be no water there without it. If we hadn't done that. Incidental wetlands are also
exemptible.
Mayor Furlong: The, in terms of the size of site 1 that you had made reference to. I think it was.
Rick Dorsey: 6/10th of an acre.
Mayor Furlong: 6/10th of an acre. You said that was in the calculation…
Rick Dorsey: If you scale off the size of it to scale, and you can scale off the dotted line and I
have another copy of it that says that dotted line is the wetland boundary. If you can read it
better. Just scaling it off, that's where it comes to.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, any other questions at this time for Mr. Dorsey?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I have one question, and maybe Lori or Rick you can help me with
this. Let's go to Exhibit A-5. The photo. Either one of you show me where there is a real
significant wetland on this map. Can you identify one?
Mayor Furlong: Which one you on?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Exhibit A-5.
Rick Dorsey: And what's your question Bethany?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Give me an example of a wetland.
Rick Dorsey: Where is a wetland?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Yes. So I can see what one really looks like.
Rick Dorsey: Well, there's one right here. There's one up here.
Mayor Furlong: You're off camera.
Rick Dorsey: You're seeing it appears up in this area. It's seen in this area.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: And do they look white then?
Rick Dorsey: White out is probably water in the black and white. I can show you probably in
another page and that'd be page A-6 is probably clearer. Here's a wetland here that somebody
has farmed around. This is a wetland here somebody's farmed around. Right here they farmed
29
164
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
around one. You're not seeing the same type of activity around the edges because you can drive
on this with grass, whereas they couldn't drive on it next to the water, so they stopped short with
their planting pattern.
Councilman Peterson: So use A-6 as your example. Where is Basin 1 on that?
Rick Dorsey: Well it's hard to see but it's right in this area.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Just by the green dot. What is the green dot?
Rick Dorsey: Just identifying my parcel. Here's the property right here.
Kate Aanenson: It's a tough scale to look at.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: It really is.
Lori Haak: I actually looked at these. These are the wetlands adjacent to Lot 3…what you're
seeing here. I don’t know about what you're pointing out.
Rick Dorsey: But that's a flow of water through that.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Did you turn the page?
Lori Haak: Yeah, I went back to, this is A-5.
Kate Aanenson: It's hard at that scale and black and white.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: It is but I'm…
Rick Dorsey: The point is that we're not an engineer…can't, without knowing what's there, it's
very difficult to read an aerial photo. You can see signatures but when the draintile, the
difference you're going to see is this. There could have been standing water there at some point
in the year. It drains through and it could have been…
Kate Aanenson: It's also a copy of an aerial photo.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Yeah but that's what I'm looking at because there's white spots…
Rick Dorsey: But all I can go by is the engineer's, I had two engineers look at the…and that's
what they came back with. This report that's in your report.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Any other questions for Mr. Dorsey at this time? Okay. Good, thank
you. Mr. Fox, public hearing.
Jeff Fox: Mayor, councilmen.
30
165
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Mayor Furlong: Good evening.
Jeff Fox: And council persons. I'm here basically just to enter the appeal concerning our type,
basically to Basin 1 which is related to the 22 acres. …had you go to 6/10th of an acre and 1.3,
that the city has accepted to review the property at the time, that the less than 2 acres issue.
…also a Type III for my property and I think it's pretty clear it's probably a Type, possibly a
Type II but not a Type III…understand our position.
Mayor Furlong: And Mr. Fox, let me clarify that. The area of concern, because the exemption
you're looking for is a different exemption or different.
Jeff Fox: No. Our, it's one basin.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Jeff Fox: Keep the basin the size it is to deny this appeal…but if it is considered exempt, if you
bring it back to the 6/10th of an acre, then it might become an issue of under 2 acres and my
appeal…2 acres as a whole.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, and that's good. We're looking at the current?
Jeff Fox: Yeah.
Mayor Furlong: The current then we'd have to look at, as I understood and correct me if I'm
wrong, when Mr. Dorsey talked about the 6/10th, that's what he was indicating was the size of the
basin back in '91, correct?
Jeff Fox: Yeah.
Mayor Furlong: But under your exemption it'd be the size of the basin in the current, at the time
of the application? I guess that's what, is that a corrected? I heard earlier that because of the two
different.
Rick Dorsey: You have to look at what the wetland is and the question is what is wetland on
mine and what's incidental and what's not really wetland. It's 6/10th of an acre is the actual
wetland. The rest of it that grew around it was due to the excavation of the pond and the
leeching of it into the soils and saturating the soils around it. No different then a storm pond and
that's why they say a storm pond as well can resemble a wetland. It's not a wetland because
you're going to take on characteristics around it that are like a wetland, so the engineers would
say and have said in their report that it's an incidental wetland. If you're looking at the true
wetland area of 6/10th of an acre, Jeff's property actually has incidental wetlands on it but you
don't even take that into account. There would be less than 2 acres at that point.
Mayor Furlong: So the question, it's 1(b) I think for the Fox property. Is that their request
because it's an incidental wetland?
31
166
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Rick Dorsey: No. It's a request because he did not farm that area so he couldn't utilize
exemption 1(a). So…looking forward, he didn't have a history of working that ground…looked
for it after 1991 in the timeline, a different exemption. Exemption 1(b) and 1(b) says that if
you're looking at going into a Type I or Type II wetland, you can do that if it's less than 2 acres
of Type II and any amount of Type I is the old law. I'm not sure what the new one is, and then as
well there was a deed restriction tied to that which may be gone.
Mayor Furlong: So he doesn't deal at all with incidental wetland?
Rick Dorsey: Well you have to identify what is the wetland area…you'd have to have it redone.
He didn't have that done because there wasn't a feeling when it was walked off by the engineer
that there was more than 2 acres there total, much less 2 acres of Type II. So part of the reason
for the exemptions for agriculture and not going through the sequencing process, so you don't
have to spend a lot of money. You're supposed to be able to go and bring in a general case and
show that there's an amount of land. An idea the State did not want to have happen is have to
have every farm has to go out and delineate their property and so they basically set it up and set
criteria and said if you have less than 2 acres of Type II and any amount of Type I you can get an
exemption for it. And you don't have to go and delineate it.
Councilman Litsey: So the type of wetland hasn't been disputed. It's the size of the wetland?
Rick Dorsey: A combination.
Councilman Litsey: Maybe it's over simplification but the wetland classification, there's not a
dispute over that?
Lori Haak: No there is.
Councilman Litsey: Oh it is also on that type. But not…okay.
Rick Dorsey: And they're saying that because the Type III is the pond on my property. Or
they're calling it a Type III.
Mayor Furlong: And I guess again you showed, just to clarify this process. At the beginning I
understood you to tell us that the exemptions that are being requested on the Dorsey property,
you looked at it in the time period of 1991. But for (b) you look at it what exists at the time of
the application, which would include your existing pond and the wetlands…
Rick Dorsey: The real amount of true wetland. If mine is exempt, it's not classified as wetlands
any longer from the standpoint of being a Type III. There is no Type III there. It's a surface
water management pond so that would be…off of what the true wetland is perhaps. Or it's
incidental wetland my understanding is around it that incidental wetland, we could drain it and
bring it right back to it's original size. You're looking at trying to identify…
Mayor Furlong: Maybe this is a legal question in terms of, because, and I guess because if
they're looking at it as of today, then wetlands can change over time, right?
32
167
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Rick Dorsey: Correct, they do. My point of what changed over time Mayor may not be natural
caused. And so what you're seeing on my property is that there's a prime example is, it's not
natural causes that created this to go from 6/10th of an acre to 2 acres. It was because of man
made activity which is incidental, if you want to look at it that way. The pond is incidental. We
would not have dug the pond and had it leech out had the ditch not been collapsed by a third
party in another property preventing it from draining.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Rick Dorsey: A way you could look at it, I mean it's not agricultural. Agriculture is just one
area that has exemptions. Forestry does. Mining does. Just put it in your own way to maybe
understand it. Let's just say that you have a swale going by your yard and somebody puts up a
block wall and you don't get to get the water out from your yard swaling to the neighbor's yard.
It backs up and floods your basement. Now was that natural things or did somebody do it?
Somebody did it and you expect them to remove the wall and you expect to be able to utilize
your basement again when it dries out. Not to let it stay as a flooded basement. Although a
stretch but it helps you understand the rationale here.
Jeff Fox: The last comment I want to make is…myself but on behalf of the Fox Properties more
so and my piece, we have two pieces land locked. We have no access to as of right now. Once
Powers Boulevard is opened up. The southern portion below the tree line.
Mayor Furlong: Can you show us on the picture?
Kate Aanenson: Show the picture you had again for farming purposes. I was curious on that one
too. That one showing how you're going to get to the farm field.
Rick Dorsey: This one here? Right here is the aggregate plant of the new 212 and there will be
an opening here but there's just is a ditch and a culvert going under the road and this ditch is
continuous so there's no way to get across to this field right here without coming through my
property or climbing over curbs and up tight, steep embankments. On this property here, this is
again there's a tree line here and no access points along the road. He used to access it when this
farmer down here came across through here but this is all now a wetland so there's no road that
comes up through there the way it used to. So there's no access to the property right now. So
we've worked together to try and create an option that's workable for all of us in the interim
whereby if you come in here and pull in this area up here, you could come around from one side
to the other and be able to access that point and then be able to access this point through here, so
you either come in here.
Kate Aanenson: Can I ask a question? Did mister, on the Fox Parcel LLC, that was previously
land locked but you were able to use Mr. Jeurissen's driveway, is that correct?
Jeff Fox: No, we actually had two accesses…
Kate Aanenson: But that was Mr. Jeurissen's, not your's.

City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Jeff Fox: Yes, we had a 10 foot easement called Powers Boulevard and it came from Pioneer
Trail that the City dedicated back in the 70's. That was our access point to that property.
Kate Aanenson: So it's been land locked for a while is my point.
Jeff Fox: No, I had a 16 foot easement to that property.
Kate Aanenson: Since?
Jeff Fox: I don't know when it was recorded.
Kate Aanenson: Okay, I just wanted to check on that a little bit because I think it's been that way
for.
Jeff Fox: You guys walked away from the property so that was, actually Powers Boulevard the
City did…
Kate Aanenson: That was like in?
Jeff Fox: 1970 something it showed up.
Rick Dorsey: He could get access to it with equipment before. Now you can't get through to it
without climbing over this curb. New city curbs and bike trail. They're going to get damaged
you know so there's going to be expense there too. Plus the traffic, there's going to be a
significant amount of traffic.
Mayor Furlong: So Mr. Fox, anything else?
Jeff Fox: That's it for me.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Jeff Fox: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Now that he sat down, any questions? Very good, thank you.
This is a public hearing so at this time I would certainly offer the podium to any other interested
parties to speak at this public hearing regarding this matter.
Brad Wozney: At least one more point please?
Mayor Furlong: Please. Restate your name and address for the record if you would please.
Brad Wozney: Sure. Brad Wozney with the Board of Water and Soil Resources. 520 Lafayette
Road North, St. Paul, Minnesota. One point that Mr. Dorsey has brought up is the incidental and
I believe it is your city ordinance to apply for every single exemption that you're claiming and
34
169
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
that to the best of my knowledge there's only application for agricultural exemption. That they
would both have to be claimed and there'd have to be proof of that incidental claim. That's my
knowledge.
Councilman Litsey: So you're saying the incidental claim was never raised initially?
Brad Wozney: It was mentioned but it wasn't applied for.
Councilman Litsey: So it wasn't applied for so therefore it's a moot point?
Kate Aanenson: I think there's a lot of factual things that we need to go through in this and the
application and the request responding to some of the things in the report so.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. This is a public hearing. Is anybody else wishing to provide comment
for the record on this matter? No one? Seeing nobody, is there a motion to close the public
hearing?
Councilman Peterson: So moved.
Councilwoman Ernst: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Is there a second? I'm sorry, Mr. Fox did you want to say something? Okay.
Alright. There's been a motion made and seconded to close the public hearing. Any discussion
on that motion?
Councilman Peterson moved, Councilwoman Ernst seconded to close the public hearing.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Mayor Furlong: I guess at this point there was some comments, we received a lot of
information. Some this evening. Some as a matter of the last few hours. Staff has made the
initial request to have some time to take a look at the information that was just received. I guess
my question is, we have an issue of deadline in front of us, is that right Mr. Knutson?
Roger Knutson: Mayor that's correct and we have, I've prepared prior to the start of this evening,
a written, hand written extension letter that if signed would give us until October 1st to act on this
matter.
Kurt Deter: Mr. Mayor, we have no problem with that. We would encourage more review of
this information.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Roger Knutson: And then I'd just ask if I could Mr. Deter, did you want to submit any written
arguments?
35
170
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
Kurt Deter: I think we've submitted everything that we need to submit. I guess I will submit
something in the next 5, you're getting until October 1st. I will have something in today, I will
have something in a week from today if I want to submit anything more but my initial thought is
no. I think you've got.
Roger Knutson: And that'd be written argument, not additional or substantive evidence?
Kurt Deter: That's right.
Roger Knutson: Mayor, so if that being the case I would, I think Mr. Deter would have until a
week from today to submit any written arguments he wants to submit and if they're not submitted
by then, the record would be deemed closed and then we will provide you with our own analysis
as well as will staff.
Kurt Deter: So we do have a complete record, we want to make Mr. Dorsey's comments and the
whole packet and pictures may be incorporated. We need to make sure that's all a part of the
record. That's one of the reasons it got remanded so we want to make sure.
Roger Knutson: That's part of the record. The booklet you received is part of the record. And
the power point presentation by Lori Haak and everything else that's been considered tonight.
Kurt Deter: Thank you very much.
Mayor Furlong: Alright. With that I guess the, to turn to the council and direction in terms of
going here. Clearly I think we'll have the record complete within 5 business days. That we will
have then for staff to put together their opportunity to provide comment on the new information
received. I guess the question that I would have and Mr. Knutson, from an appropriate
standpoint, there was some questions raised early on with regard to changes in the law. With
regard to the 10 year deed and how that applies and two, with regard to whether or not one of the
basins that was approved by the TEP panel would still be approved under the current law. Is
that, I guess my question is, is that something that you could provide us with some guidance on?
Roger Knutson: Absolutely Mayor. We will do that. That's exempt, I believe it's 1(a), the 1(a)
exemption was changed in the statute and correspondingly in the rules. And if Mr. Deter wanted
to comment on the law changes and their application, that'd be fine. We'd review that as well.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. And so that would give us and I think some guidance as to review.
Obviously the rules change, we would need to take consideration of those changes and how they
apply. Are there any other information at this point? That people know they're going to want to
want to look at. If not, we may have a situation where there may be some additional questions
that we might have after our review of all the information so I would anticipate that when this
comes back, there may be a question and answer period with staff and the applicants. Obviously
the public hearing is closed but we may have some additional discussions and questions as we try
to make sure we understand clearly the information that's been included in the record. From a
timing standpoint, in terms of date specific, I guess I would ask staff if the 10th is sufficient time,
36
171
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2007
given the Labor Day holiday next weekend, and we might receive last information, if we should
be looking to the 24th as the next time we would see this?
Roger Knutson: Mayor I'll be out of town myself for a few days so I'd suggest the 24th if that's
okay.
Mayor Furlong: 24th? Okay. Is that the correct date? I believe that's the correct date. So at this
point we have an extension through October 1st so the idea would be to table this item to our
meeting of September 24th. Is that, does that work for the applicant in terms of availability and
staff? Okay.
Kurt Deter: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Furlong: Yes.
Kurt Deter: If there is a staff recommendation before that, will that be provided to the applicants
before the 24th so we can see the recommendation? I don't know how your process works here.
Mayor Furlong: Our process, typically the information is distributed as part of the council
packet is sent out usually the Wednesday or Thursday prior to the council meeting and so that
would, that then becomes part of the public document and I would assume it would be available,
that would be available to you at that time.
Kurt Deter: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Anything else on this at this time or questions? Make sure everybody's
clear on working together on this so with that, I guess I would entertain a motion to table this
item to our meeting of September 24th.
Councilwoman Ernst: I would make a motion that we table the item until September 24th.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Is there a second?
Councilman Litsey: Second.
Mayor Furlong: It's made and seconded.
Councilwoman Ernst moved, Councilman Litsey seconded to table the appeal of Wetland
Exemption Determination located at the southwest corner of Lyman Boulevard and Powers
Boulevard, Jeff Fox and Richard Dorsey to the September 24, 2007 City Council meeting.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Mayor Furlong: Very good. Thank you everyone.

COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS:
Mayor Furlong: One item, Miracles for Mitch Triathlon, we heard about that earlier this evening
during the Fire Chief's presentation. They had volunteers out there. I know too that our city
park and rec department spent a lot of time getting Lake Ann ready, working with that
organization. The Chanhassen based organization that raises money for families whose children
have cancer. It's a great organization and put in a lot of time and effort goes in not only for
Miracles for Mitch and all the volunteering from our city staff, Carver County Sheriff's
department, our fire department, a number of other volunteers and so on behalf of the council,
congratulations for the Miracles for Mitch Foundation for it's successful event and thank you and
appreciation to all those that were involved in terms of making that such a successful event again
this year. This is the fourth year that they've done it here in Chanhassen and it's a major
fundraiser that they have. So far city staff and all those from Carver County, we appreciate their
efforts.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS:
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, council members. The only item I had this evening is that we will be
wrapping up our storm damage pick-up this week. We've been doing that for the last 2 weeks.
We've established quite a pile out at Park Place. They will be wrapping that up this week so all
the little piles you've seen…
Mayor Furlong: So if residents have questions, contact city hall on that soon?
Todd Gerhardt: Correct.
Mayor Furlong: Sooner rather than later.
Todd Gerhardt: Soon, yeah.
Mayor Furlong: Alright, very good. Any questions for Mr. Gerhardt or his staff? No?
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION. None.
Councilwoman Ernst moved, Councilman Litsey seconded to adjourn the meeting. All
voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0. The City Council
meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m..

MEMORANDUM
TO Paul Oehme Public Works Director City Engineeq
FROM Alyson Fauske Assistant City Engineer ofrifI
DATE September 10 2007
SUBJECT The Preserve at Bluff Creek 2nd Addition Proposed changes to the
final grading plan
BACKGROUND
On May 14 2007 City Council approved the final plat for The Preserve at Bluff
Creek 2nd Addition Approval of the 2nd Addition included mass grading the
future additions in order to balance the dirt work on the site
During grading operations the developer s engineer revised earthwork
calculations and estimate that there is approximately 43 000 cubic yards of excess
material on the site
The attached memo from the developer s engmeer explains that the excess
material was generated due to the following
1 Lowering the street stub to the Dorsey parcel to the east
2 Import of structural fill for the realignment of the trunk sanitary sewer and
watermain on the west side of the site and
3 The excavated material is not achieving the compaction assumed in the
original earthwork calculations It s quite common for the earthwork not
to balance on any project due to the assumptions that must be made for the
earthwork computations Earthwork balance is particularly challenging on
a project of this magnitude where over 400 000 c y of material was
moved on the entire site
In August 2007 the developer submitted a revised grading plan for approval
Due to the amount of excess dirt proposed to be blended into the site Staff
indicated to the development team that the proposed changes could not be
approved administratively
At Staff s request the proposed revisions will not raise the buildings on the north
side of the site adjacent to Lyman Boulevard The majority of the proposed fill
would be placed in the interior of the future phase
The developer s engineer notes that raising the grades on the east side of the
property is required to reduce the height of the retaining wall adjacent to the
Dorsey parcel from 12 feet maximum to seven feet maximum
The orientation of the lots in the future phases is consistent with the preliminary
plat
The City 01 Chanhassen A growing community with clean lakes quality schools a charming downtown thriving businesses winding trails and beautiful parks A great place to live work and play174

The developer does not propose any cut or fill over the realigned trunk sanitary sewer or trunk
watermain on the west side of the site Utilities have not beeninstalled in the future phase
therefore cover over watermain sanitary sewer or storm sewer is not an issue with the proposed
changes
The developer s engineer provided the attached cross sections to illustrate the proposed grading
changes The proposed changes to the rooftop elevations are summarized below

Staff concurs that the proposed house style changes best fit the proposed grading
Typical driveways include a flatter area adjacent to garage to provide a transition from a steeper
driveway to the garage Minor adjustments for the following lots will be required with the
building permit application in order to accommodate a 10 foot long landing at minimum 3
grade
Block lA Lots 7 and 16
Block 2A Lot 10
Block SA Lots 8 13 and 14 and
Block 6A Lots 3 and 6
If the grading changes are not approved the development team estimates that 200 trucks per day
would haul material off site for one month The vehicles would haul on Bluff Creek Boulevard
to Lyman Boulevard

Re The Preserve at Bluff Creek
File 2003 1110 01
To Alyson Fauske City of Chanhassen
From Justin Larson
PROPOSAL
In working to balance earthwork operations and accommodate a variety of requests
the applicant proposes to adjust phase 2 grading for the Preserve at Bluff Creek
project The proposal holds the perimeter grades i e 3 1 sloped embankment at rear
of pads and raises the remaining pond and interior lots and streets as well as lowers
the retaining wall and stub street located to the east as requested by representatives
from the property owner to the east
The proposed adjustment averages 2 feet over the remaining phase 2 grading area By
making this adjustment there will be no additional impacts to flood plain or wetlands
Nor will there be additional impacts to the northern embankment or lots backing along
Lyman Boulevard
BACKGROUND
The Applicant is generating a surplus of excavated soils during grading operations and
is seeking to both adjust the final grading plan to balance the remaining earthwork on
site and also work to reduce the grade difference to the abutting parcel to the east A
number of factors are contributing to these conditions
1 Raising Grades Along Retaining Wall Representatives for the adjacent
property to the east have requested that the height of the retaining wall along
the common boundary be reduced This request was reiterated by the
Chanhassen City Council during Final Plat approval of the 2nd Addition plat
To do so the Applicant must elevate River Rock Drive North and various
house elevations in the vicinity of the wall Raising this portion of the
development has a cascading effect throughout the phase due to the rolling
topographic nature of the site The consequence is that other areas will have to
be adjusted upwards as well The Applicant has reduced the wall from its
original elevation of 12 down to 7
2 Adjustment for Public Access to Adjacent Property Representatives for the
adjacent property to the east have requested that Mills Drive be lowered where
T F r H r I h 1 t l6 TWIN CITIESIMETRO ST CLOU 0 BRAINERD
177
Westwood
August 20 2007
Page 2
it stubs to their property The result of this action is that the connection point
has been lowered 2 feet from the previously approved grading plan The
consequence is that other areas abutting the section of street that is being
lowered will have to be lowered as well generating additional material
3 Phase 1 Import for Structural Fill Approximately 1 500 cy was imported
to correct settlement of the Trunk Sewer and Water Main utilities located along
Bluff Creek This work was performed as part of a relocation effort at the
urging of City staff to avoid future access and maintenance issues An
unforeseen ramification of this exercise resulted in excavations of over 10 of
unsuitable foundation material to provide sufficient bearing for manholes and
pIpe
4 Excavated material is not compacting to the anticipated volume during
grading operations As soils are excavated from one location and placed in
another the material is compacted to volumes usually greater than its original
in place density to support houses and roadways Due to the variability of soil
type and moisture composition it s not uncommon to have a lot of fluctuation
during this process In this case approximately 400 000 cy is being excavated
as part of the grading activities The Consultant and Contractor separately
assumed 25 compaction however the material appears to be compacting only
15 10 less then assumed yielding approximately 40 000 cy of excess
Normally grade adjustments can be made across a project to resolve earthwork
discrepancies between design compaction factors and actual compaction factors
exhibited by the soils in the field or other issues that may arise In this instance
adjusting the project a half foot would balance the remaining earthwork however there
are constraints on all sides that prohibit this from being done
1 Northern Constraints Lyman Boulevard existing utilities and easements
and the future installation of trunk water facilities
2 Western Constraints Bluff Creek and associated wetlands
3 Southern Constraints 1St and 2nd Addition is complete with streets and
utilities home construction is underway
4 Easterly Constraints Property boundary and grade restrictions
In addition to the above the adjustment area is further limited in that the City has
asked that the Applicant lower grades for streets and lots adjacent to the trunk utilities
by as much as 10 The benefit is that the sanitary sewer is not as deep and
maintenance and access will be easier in the future when residents have settled the
property

SUMMARY
The Applicant is working towards balancing excavations on site as well as
accommodating other requests of both the City and representatives of adjacent
property owners Due to a variety of constraints the Applicant has to concentrate the
mass of this operation interior to the phase 2 grading limits while minimally impacting
the perimeter Due to the topographical nature of the Bluff Creek corridor the result of
the grade revisions will not have an adverse affect on adjacent properties nor degrade
environmental resources

Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item
McDonald Okay Mark you want to start Dan
Keefe Yeah One in particular that and it may go back a little bit to the previous approval on
this parcel but in regards to lighting we had a discussion around operational hours in terms of the
lighting and because this is just an auxiliary parking lot I presume it s only going to be used on
just a periodic basis to support activities at Paisley Park You know what do we do in terms of
lighting when it s is this thing going to be lit every night when it s not being used
Generous That would be up to the applicant I thought about that when I was writing the staff
report whether we should limit it to the nights of operation and putting a time limit on but
unfortunately limiting the operations would be good but time limit may not be because of the
way Prince and Paisley Park Studios work Sometimes they have late evening activities so you d
want them to have that security lighting But yeah we could provide a condition of approval that
it could be it s limit to only times that they are actually have an event that is using this facility
207
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Keefe And there is going to be a gated parking lot or
Generous Originally the plan show that it s going to be fenced and gated However the
applicant has advised me that that s not their intention to do that so it will be an open facility
Keefe Yeah And I mean do you have to have permits to use it or can anybody that s going
park there or is it you know
Generous Well it s like any private property
Keefe Right So it s limited to the use of patrons or whoever Paisley Park wants to use it
Generous Unless they did a lease agreement with someone that wanted it
Keefe So restricting the hours or requiring the hours might make some sense since it s really
only intended to be used for periods of time associated with Paisley Park facility Okay That s
my question
McDonald Kevin
Dillon 193 spots seems like a lot of parking spots How does that number how did you get to
that number or did or maybe is that a question best left for the applicant
Generous I think it s better for the applicant They were looking at I think the area that they
intended to use and that s the result I don t know if its specifically related to what their
anticipated needs were
Dillon Okay I have a couple other questions that are probably best left for the applicant
McDonald Okay No questions
Papke Yeah I ve got a couple On the landscaping plan this one s a little unusual Normally
you re pretty rigorous about insisting on meeting the requirements In this particular case you
state that the intent of the ordinance has been met yet we re allowing some to be over Some to
be under etcCould you provide a little color behind it For instance they re substantially
under the under story requirement for trees So what was your rationale behind you know saying
that you know obviously in some categories they grossly exceed I mean there s a bazillion
shrubs going in here But they are under some of the other requirements so could you explain a
little bit the rationale
Generous Yeah and I think it s going from under story to over story that s always a trade off
that the city s willing to make You get a larger volume of trees eventually and more shading for
the parking lot and that s what the whole idea is for a parking lot landscaping So I believe Jill
just felt that that was an adequate amount to put in there rather than going with the strict
numbers
2
208
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Papke Okay The other question I had was on the last condition Where would the handicap
ramps be It wasn t clear to me what requirement would be there
Generous They showed on the plan there has to be some ramps in this area and it just allows
for handicap accessibility It can tbe a curb that someone in a wheelchair would have to
overcome
Papke So that goes down would go down to Audubon or
Generous No It would just go from the parking lot to that sidewalk system and then on the
sidewalk they don t have anything that would impede their progress It s just from the parking lot
to the sidewalk
Papke Okay I got you That s all
McDonald Well I ve got a couple questions to follow up on the lighting Now across the street
is well is it Pillsbury or General Mills now
Generous General Mills
McDonald And that s lit 247 with the big arc lights and everything right
Generous Right
McDonald The lights that would go here would those be more the type where we would
require the spotlights I mean it isn t the glare that s similar to the lights that are in that parking
lot It would be more focused down so that we wouldn t have the over brightness of the area
This wouldn t add to that
Generous No that s correct They would have to follow our standards which limit the height of
the structure and require that it be the shoebox fixtures
McDonald Right okay So we would be able to contain some of the light pollution that way
Generous And also through design you can do that by entering or directing it towards the
interior
McDonald Okay
Generous You help with the spillover
McDonald Okay That s really all the questions I had right now for staff and is the applicant
present
Ryan Lundstrom Yes
3
209
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
McDonald Okay If you would come forward and if you have anything to add to any of this
We have some questions for you also
Ryan Lundstrom Okay thanks for hearing us Appreciate that Would you like me to
McDonald Yeah please state your name and who you represent and all of those things
Ryan Lundstrom Ryan Lundstrom I m with Paisley Park Enterprises that Prince Roger Nelson
owns
Rick Pecoquin And I m Rick Pecoquin Also a Paisley Park employee
McDonald Okay thank you
Ryan Lundstrom Okay I made some notes about some of your questions Yes as far as we re
concerned about partial use lighting Whether it makes sense with us because like was explained
by one of them this would not be continually used like every weekend It d be on a limited use
basis and Ill just remove some of the mystery what we re accomplishing here The parking lot is
for different shows not unlike what you ve granted us temporary permits on over the last several
years and again that s only been well once every year type of thing If that Well this would be
more frequently than that but not on an every weekend basis Nothing of that nature Other
entertainers would come into town playing at the Target Center or Xcel Energy Center Prince
might invite them to do an additional show out here Of course much smaller venue And too
we re looking at offering some tours during the day and again this would be on a limited basis is
what we re working on so that s the nature of the parking lot And so going back to the lighting
issue from our standpoint no We wouldn t have to have it lit every night of the week Just
when we have events going on We d be more than happy It d save us money too as far as that
goes Let s see Oh parking spaces How we came up with that number Well as you know at
Paisley Park we currently have quite a few spaces as it is already The city s been very nice in
recommending different other businesses to allow us to use their parking lots on a temporary
basis Well this would hopefully eliminate even most of that Even in the future they re more
than happy to do business with us We have a nice relationship with them So that s as far as
the number goes Based on what the fire marshal and the sheriffs department put upon the
amount of attendance we can have I think what is it 999 in the sound stage and then 201 in the
auxiliary stage area So it comes it s about 1 200 We re happy to do too to accommodate all
this is to put in additional fire doors The fire marshal met with us here in July and walked
through and mentioned about the double doors In addition to that we re even to put up an
additional entrance in the back double doors going to the outside so it will be well within the
compliance of the city and be safe In addition to what we re looking at doing again to
accommodate the city s request we re adding quite a few additional bathrooms both women s
room and men s room along with adequate handicap and that will be all within the interior of the
building It will not impact the exterior whatsoever We re trying to show to you we re trying to
comply with all that you desire us to do So that s a brief introduction Be glad to entertain your
questions Anything you d like to add Rick at this point
4
210
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Rick Pecoquin Just the additional parking lot on the site right next to the building also does
have handicaps right next to the building itself so So that s handicap accessible
Ryan Lundstrom So any questions you might have we d be happy to address
McDonald Why don t we start down to my right Any No questions
Larson No
McDonald Kevin
Dillon You answered my questions I was going to pose to you
Ryan Lundstrom Okay
Keefe Just a quick question I mean when you have these events and you re going to have this
parking lot full you know and you have traffic to deal with I mean how do you typically operate
that I mean you bring in people to help people cross or do you depend on the light to do that
or
Ryan Lundstrom No
Keefe What are you intentions
Ryan Lundstrom We ve hired the sheriffs department They ve been very helpful I think even
2 even 3 of them possibly
Rick Pecoquin For the most part Fire Marshal Two fire marshals and the highway patrol
Ryan Lundstrom Yeah
Keefe See that they do assistance to help people cross
Ryan Lundstrom Yeah and let you know too just from part of this mystery If you re familiar
with the location if you come from Highway 5 coming from Minneapolis and you take a left on
Audubon then you take an immediate left into Paisley Well the people if we allowed that
you d have a major parking jam going past Powers and Market Boulevard and so what we did
we have signs to have people go it s down by the city what s that road you have property on
Park Place So they d come up from the south up to Paisley and that way we eliminate any
congestion up at the stop light because it s such a major intersection So we ve done that in the
past most successfully and that now with this additional parking lot that s the whole thing too
They d come from Park Place over to the parking lot and then eliminate any congestion we
might have up there
Keefe Okay
5
211
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Dillon So the events that are planned I m sorry
McDonald Go ahead with your question
Dillon So the events that you have there like you know just private events and not open to the
public You might do some tours but besides that
Ryan Lundstrom Yeah this is open to the public but of course it s it s not like the Target Center
which has 19 000 people This is limited to 1 200 at this point What we d probably get up to is
probably more like 1 500 with the additional fire doors and so on
Rick Pecoquin Whatever the fire marshal will allow
Ryan Lundstrom Yeah
Dillon How is awareness created about these events
Ryan Lundstrom Awareness
Dillon Yeah I mean is it just
Rick Pecoquin Usually it s a last minute deal where the artist Prince would perform and then
they would make an announcement over the P A and tell the people would drive up afterwards
Ryan Lundstrom Obviously we d have everything arranged with you people ahead of time
Weeks in advance So we re not springing a new one on you at the last minute You know
what s happening That s usually the way he that s the way he s performed down in Las Vegas
and well even in London where he s at right now doing what is it 21 performances I think
we ve added a few extra
Rick Pecoquin 7 more
Ryan Lundstrom 7 more There s like 480 000 tickets sold It s enormous and he does like an
after show type thing You know he did that in Vegas and for those who like to stop at his
restaurant next door this is in Las Vegas now you could go in and I think I was there that seats
like a few hundred people So he likes to do those type of things But again at a very reasonable
cost too
McDonald Mark you have any questions
Undestad I just had a question on the location Why you picked that side of the site and you
may have answered that by routing traffic up Park Road
Ryan Lundstrom Correct Yes
6
212
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
McDonald Okay Well the questions I have were brought up as far as lighting in this area I
understand it s advantageous for you as far as being able to control the lighting and it would help
It only needs to be on whenever you ve got something but you ve taken out of the plans the
fencing to keep it private The concern I have is that all of a sudden now we have a parking lot
there that s open to anyone How do we restrict anyone from coming in there and if they do
come in there and park and the lights aren ton what happens as far as if something happens
within the parking lot
Ryan Lundstrom Yeah good question Well the well the existing businesses that are there
really don t have any need for I know McGlynn s Bakery or
McDonald Yeah I don t believe that they ll need any of the parking
Ryan Lundstrom Right and even the daycare center Actually the only viable business and
they don treally have events that would require the use of a parking lot In fact that street that
dead end street what s that called Is that McGlynn Yeah McGlynn Drive Yeah there s
more than adequate parking right along the streets to accommodate the daycare center so we
don t see any reason we would be the only people who would have an interest in actually using
this parking lot
McDonald Okay Now Im just you know kind of a posing the question that yeah you ve got a
parking lot People will want to park there and if something were to happen in it and because
there was no lighting or something on the off day and you re not going to have it on that much
because you re right these things are rather few and far between so it s not as though it s going to
be an every week occurrence or anything Thats the only question I m posing about this is how
do you control all of that And I guess you can t answer it and that s fine I just wanted to raise
the issue Other than that I have no further questions unless anyone else does I thank you very
much for presenting this to us
Ryan Lundstrom Okay thank you
McDonald Thank you At this point I will open up the meeting to the public Anyone wishing
to come forward and make comment please come up to the podium State your name and
address and then address your comments to the commissioners Seeing no one come forward I
will close the public meeting and I will bring it back before the commissioners for deliberation
and we will take a vote Mark you want to start with anything
Undestad No
Keefe Im fine too
Dillon No comments
Larson The only comment I would make is kind of expanding on what your question is and it
appears to me that its not a real obvious entrance into this parking lot and then if there s going to
7
213
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
be trees and shrubs all the way around it it s not like it s going to be completely visible that
anybody would encroach on Audubon or Coulter I don t know in my mind it s an issue I guess
McDonald Okay
Papke I guess I d be in favor of a 22nd condition here which would be to allow the applicant to
conditionally light it on the basis of gating the entrance As long as I think they control the
entrance to the parking lot I think that would with all the shrubbery and so on I think that
would be sufficient to allow them to light it at their option I guess that s what I d put out for
them
McDonald Okay
Keefe And just in regards to the lighting I mean we ve got McGlynn across the street We ve
got the daycare which I think already casts off some light at night anyway so and if somebody
wanted to go in there right now maybe they could presumably drive their car into the field right
now if they wanted but you know police do go by They d kick them off there The same thing
I think would be if you know
Papke I d just be concerned with you know during the winter kids doing donuts there or
something If there s no lighting at all And there was no controlled access
McDonald Yeah and an empty parking lots an invitation for that kind of stuff You know and
the big reason I raise the issue is what s the liability to the City If there is none then it s all
upon Paisley Its not our problem
Keefe So they would need to decide whether they wanted
McDonald Right I only raise it from an issue of liability in case some kids go in there and
decide to do donuts or whatever but empty parking lots with no lights are an invitation for
people to go and gather You know well never mind We all were young once So yeah I mean
that was the only reason I raised the issue Right it s their liability Okay then in that case I m
willing to accept a motion from the commission
Papke Mr Chair I make a motion that the Planning Commission recommends Site Plan
approval of Planning Case 07 18 for a parking lot plans prepared by Proterra Design
Associates Inc dated 08 07 07 subject to conditions 1 through 21 as stated in staff report with
an additional condition number 22 that the applicant be granted the ability to conditionally light
the parking lot as long as they gate the entrance to the parking lot They control the entrance
McDonald Okay do I have a second
Larson I ll second it
McDonald Any discussion I hear a little bit of a moaning over here
8
214
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Keefe Well my problem is just you know I don tknow why we need to regulate a gate They
can decide it s their liability as to whether they need it gated or not
Papke In terms of city regulations with lighting a parking lot any what s the bottom line
Does the city require lighting
Generous We require that parking lots have lighting
Papke So all I m all we re really saying here is we re relaxing the restrictions slightly by
controlling access
Dillon How so
Papke With a gate
Undestad They have to leave lights on all the time or they can
Papke Or they ve got to close the gate
Dillon So is that the ruling I mean is that
Keefe That s what he suggested
Papke That s what Im suggesting
Keefe My counter point is is let them have lights to save energy and lighting the city and it s
their liability if someone gets hurt there You know they have they can gate it but it s their s It s
their responsibility
Undestad So does the city require parking lot lighting
Generous When well I should
Keefe Public lighting
Generous Yeah you have to light it if people are using it That s the end result
Undestad So if Jerry s in there doing donuts at night
Generous He s also trespassing I believe
Dillon But the city doesn t require a gate
Generous No It s like any other parking lot in downtown We only require it if a facility s
open and people are invited or using that facility
9
215
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Keefe So let me ask you this I mean if it s if we require lighting does it necessarily have to be
on per ordinance Or does it just have to have the lights there
Generous Well they have to have the lights and it has to be on if there s an operation going
Keefe So in a sense I mean it s if there isn t anything going on then they don t have to light it
Generous They re not technically required to have
McDonald Okay I guess what we have we have a motion with an additional recommendation
You can also put forward a motion that would go with just this recommendation and the 21 and
we ll vote on both Would that be acceptable Bob
Generous Yeah
McDonald I thought it would be We have a second on the first motion
Keefe Then we need to vote on that
Generous You can vote on the motion the amendment and then
McDonald Okay all in favor of the recommendation that we adopt the recommendation for the
site plan with the addition of a 22nd recommendation granting conditional use granting
intermittent use of the light based upon controlling access to the parking lot say aye
Papke moved Larson seconded that the Planning Commission recommend an amendment
to the motion adding the following condition
22 The applicant be granted the ability to conditionally light the parking lot as long as
they gate the entrance to the parking lot
Papke voted in favor the remainder of the commission voted in opposition The motion
failed with a vote of 1 to 5
McDonald Okay the motion fails Do I have a second motion
Larson The motion to approve it without the 22nd
McDonald No with the 22nd in
Larson Are we going to do another one without it
Keefe Yeah I ll make a motion
McDonald Yeah we would do another one without it
10
216
Planning Commission Meeting September 4 2007
Keefe And I guess point of clarification Just revisit this one thing They have to put in lights
They don t necessarily have to be on except when they re using it
Generous Right
Keefe That s the ordinance
Generous Interpretation of the ordinance It s only necessary
Keefe Alright I ll make a recommendation Planning Commission recommends Site Plan

LEVY IMPACT SCENARIOS
Scenario 1
Levy the entire amount needed to balance the budget as submitted at this time This levy would
be in the amount of 6 853 900 and is 4 5 higher than last year s general fund levy as
mentioned above The result on the average property taxpayer would be a 1 1 increase in their
property tax bill
Scenario 2
Eliminate the current vacant building inspector position saving about 71 000 to the general fund
and balance the remaining 35 800 by using levy dollars This would result in a levy of
6 782 900 or 34 higher than in 2007 The impact to the average homeowner would be about
a 37 increase in their property tax bill
Scenario 3
Eliminate the current vacant building inspector position 71 000 and cut expenditures or look
for additional revenues totaling 35 800 to keep the levy at 6 747 100 or 2 9 higher than the
general fund levy from 2007 This would result in a zero percent increase in the property tax bill
to the average homeowner
