Mayor Ryan: Again good evening everybody. Welcome to our council meeting. For those of
you that are watching at home or livestreaming from Chanhassen Website, thank you for joining
us. For the record we have 4 of our council members here with the exception of Councilwoman
Julia Coleman. Our first action on the agenda is agenda approval. Council members are there
any modifications to the agenda as printed? It’s pretty short so we’ll move forward with that.
PUBLIC HEARING: PUBLIC MEETING ON THE PROPOSED 2020 BUDGET.
Mayor Ryan: Tonight we have our Truth in Taxation hearing but if you did look at our agenda
for tonight we were in Executive Session earlier today to give City Manager Gerhardt his review
and I will share the results with that at our last meeting of the year on December 9th so tonight is
our Truth in Taxation hearing and we will be having a public hearing but before that we will
begin by Mr. Sticha I know you have a presentation and I will let you lead with that.
Greg Sticha: Thank you Mayor and council. I’m going to go through a power point, several
slides that kind of goes over some of the changes in the levy and budget for 2020 and some of
our comparative data as well as some statistics about the general fund budget. So the entire
budget process takes a lot longer than just a couple months. We actually typically start as early
as June or July with some early discussions with the City Council as soon as June. And the
preliminary budgets that are done by our departments are submitted to the City Manager and
myself in late July. They begin their work in late June, early July. A detailed budget meeting is
held in August. It was the second meeting in August of this year. Held in work session that goes
over the entire detailed general fund budget with the City Council in that work session format.
On September 23rd the City Council set a preliminary tax levy to be used for the Truth in
Taxation statements which our residents should have received a little over a week ago. The basis
of that levy is the starting point for the levy process. The final levy cannot be higher than what
the preliminary levy was set at and can only be lower when the City Council then sets the final
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019
2
levy on December 9th. This evening’s the public budget meeting or the Truth in Taxation
hearing which it’s also called. So before we get into some of the changes in the 2020 budget I
wanted to kind of go over some historical statistics about the general fund budget and some of
the changes that we’ve seen in it over the last 11 years, between 2009 and 2019. So I took a look
at our 2009 general fund budget and put together some of these statistics for council. Total
general fund spending in those 11 years has increased $1.89 million for an average annual
increase of about 1.7 percent. That’s $172,000 per year. Of the $1.89 million, $1.68 million was
for wage increases, health care increases, taxes, pension costs, and added seasonal and part time
hours. We actually have the same exact FTE count in 2019 as we had in 2009. Of the $1.894
$432,000 roughly was for increases in the policing services contract and again of the $1.894
million $51,000 was for increases in the required assessing services contract. So if you notice, if
you add up those 3 numbers that exceeds $1.894 million which is the total increase spending in
the general fund over those 11 years. You actually have a decrease in all other general fund
spending over that time period which in so many ways is quite remarkable that the previous City
Councils and staff have been able to keep spending to only those things that were necessarily
needed during that period. One last statistic I put in there is the largest increase is the wages,
health care, taxes and pension and part time and seasonal salaries. That equates to about 2.8
percent per year and if you think about the cost of having employees, cost of living wage
adjustments, in particular health care costs contract increases, to increase that spending by less
than 3 percent per year is also I think quite remarkable. So let’s take a look at some of the
budgeted general fund expenditures comparing 2019 to not only the 2020 preliminary budget but
I’ve also included a column called 2020 recommended final budget. Staff’s recommendation is
going to be for a final budget that mirrors the 2020 preliminary budget so all the numbers in the
second and third column are the same. Looking at the 5 major areas you’ll notice 3 of them are
larger than the other 2 and there’s a reason behind it. There are additional services that have
been added in each of those work areas and we’re going to get into those here in the next slide.
It has to do again like I said with those additional services that were at least included in the
preliminary levy by the City Council for discussion purposes before setting the final levy here on
December 9th. Revenues not a lot of changes. The largest dollar change within the property tax
line item, we did keep license and permit revenues the same as the previous year’s budget. Some
small dollar changes into the Inner-government Revenue and Fine and Penalty section, or excuse
me other revenue. These were increases for, we had some fire department grants that we get for
some of our fire department training and an increase in I believe interest income projected for the
2020 year as well as a cell tower rental agreement increase for the upcoming year.
Councilman Campion: Mr. Sticha can you back up two slides? Or back up one slide. Is there a
typo on the Community Development 2020 preliminary versus.
Greg Sticha: There is. The I believe this number here should be $577,800. I bet you I left the
wrong number in there so my apologies. I will make that adjustment for the next power point at
the final.
Councilman Campion: Alright thank you.
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019

Greg Sticha: Thank you for catching that. The $577,800 would be the correct number.
Councilman Campion: Okay.
Greg Sticha: As I stated some minor changes in some of the revenues you’ll notice an identical
4.4 percent increase in the total budget so obviously presenting a balanced budget of
expenditures and revenues for 2020. So what impacted the budget and levy for 2020 which is
what the Truth in Taxation statements were sent out and based on? The first item we look at
each year is the new homes that are in the city of Chanhassen or the new construction dollars
which was 1.61 percent for taxes payable in 2020. This amounts to $177,100 in additional
property tax dollars. Property tax levy dollars that would be available to the City Council to use
for that new construction. We did have I believe in my 15 years the first ever reduction in health
care costs and by a significant amount. 16 percent. That had a huge impact on this year’s
process and helped fund a couple of these other items that are going to be coming up next on the
list. The police services contract had a 5 percent increase in it for their services to provide to the
community next year. The average home in Chanhassen increased in taxable market value by 5
percent and that’s important because that’s the measure by which will have an impact on your
property tax statement depending on what the City Council sets as the final levy. If your home
increased by more than 5 percent in value you’ll see a larger property tax increase. If your home
increased by less than 5 percent in taxable market value you’ll see a smaller increase or even
possibly a decrease in your city portion of your property taxes. So let’s talk about some of the
new services that were added or service levels that were added for at least the preliminary budget
by the City Council. It includes an expansion of the fire department’s duty crews of a total cost
of around $150,000. It includes one new street maintenance department employee for a total
cost of approximately $80,000. It includes a new park maintenance department employee for a
total cost of about $80,000 and it also includes a potential $350,000 for pavement management
funding. As some may be aware the City Council went through an extensive process the past 2
years to find funding for their portion, for the City’s portion of it’s local street pavement
management program and part of that suggested solution was to increase the levy as well as issue
a franchise fee which was done earlier this fall. So taking a look at the total levies, comparing
them from 2019 to 2020, the increases that you’ll note are not in the debt levy so those stay
relatively flat. There’s always a small change in a couple of the debt payments by minor
amounts of interest. The other operational and capital levies, the capital replacement levy, the
MSA sealcoating levies stayed the same. The increase in the general fund levy was for the
additional services mostly that I mentioned in the previous slide and you’ll notice the revolving
street construction fund or the pavement management program fund levy increasing by roughly
$350,000. The difference being the $2,700 below in the debt levies. For a total levy increase of
6.5 percent based on the preliminary levy. So when you look at this graph you’ll notice the far
right column is significantly higher than the previous year’s columns. The levy was set above
new growth, the preliminary levy was set above new growth for the first time in a few years.
The levy was set above new growth by roughly $510,000 in order for the City Council to review
all of the additional needs this community has in terms of the service levels that the City Council
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019

wants to consider, in particular with the fire department, the park maintenance department and
the street department that were mentioned on the previous slide. As well as probably the most
significant dollar impact here is the $350,000 for street funding for 2020. So each year we take a
look at some property tax statements, some actual Truth in Taxation statements that were sent
out a week ago and I pulled 6 of them to kind of review and just kind of see where things fall out
on the different valued homes in the city of Chanhassen. As I mentioned earlier the average
home increased in taxable market value by 5 percent so I tried to pick home that were somewhat
close to that 5 percent meaning that the dollar change that you see in the second to last column
roughly equates to the dollar amount for the increase in the preliminary levy above new growth.
Had the City Council set a levy at new growth that dollar change column would have been
relatively close to zero. Within a couple dollars. So the majority of those would have been
within probably a range of $1 to $3 all 6 of those homes in the dollar change column. As the
City Council is wanting to review the additional services, those additional services equate to
these dollar costs to these homes based on what you see on this graph. So for example the home
that is closest to average is parcel 3 with the average home being about $430,000. Taxable
market value of $430,000. That home is what would see a $49 increase in it’s city portion of it’s
property taxes if the final levy were set at what the preliminary levy was set at. When we had
discussions earlier this summer I kind of had ballparked around for the average home about $45
so this is holding out as I projected. This home did increase by 5.8 percent in taxable market
value so a little bit above the others within the city so really close to that $45 dollar amount that
we had talked about earlier this year. As you will notice parcel 6 for example did see roughly the
5 percent increase in taxable market value. However it sees $147 change to it’s city portion of
it’s property tax system. For those that aren’t familiar the State property tax system in the state
of Minnesota is a computation based on increased value homes paying more than the lower value
taxable market homes so a progressive tax like this, it makes sense that this would be the result
of that levy so nothing in any of the Truth in Taxation statements really shocked me that I took a
look at. They were all about exactly where I had estimated them to be. So taking a look at a
total tax statement for all taxing jurisdictions within a property within School District 112, about
43 percent of that property tax bill, and this is based on an actual Truth in Taxation statement,
about 43 percent of that bill is for the school district. 31 percent for the county and then 21
percent for the city so we’re roughly 21 cents on every property tax dollar a average home pays
for in School District 112 about 21 cents of that dollar goes to the city.
Mayor Ryan: Mr. Sticha did that dramatically change with the, from last year?
Greg Sticha: By about a penny. Maybe a penny and a half. Or 1 ½ of 1 percent so it didn’t
dramatically change.
Mayor Ryan: Okay.
Greg Sticha: So now we’re going to take a look at some of our KFS comparables and some of
our county comparables and we do this each year to give the City Council some guidance onto
how our spending compares to our peers as well as our spending within Carver County. This
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019

graph shows the 2019 general fund budget expenditures. We obviously don’t have data for our
comparable cities for 2020 yet. We’re all following through the same exact process this evening
that they are. You’ll notice that the increase in the general fund budgeted expenditures for 2019
was up 1.8 percent for Chanhassen while the average for our KFS was up 4.8 percent and I don’t
believe anybody had a smaller increase the way it looks than we had in terms of total general
fund budget expenditures. So obviously the city of Chanhassen as compared to our KFS cities
looks very, very positive. When you break that into a per capita spending number, taking the
budgeted spending divided by the population Chanhassen has the lowest per capita spending of
all of our KFS cities with the average being 609 and the City of Chanhassen being 447. Taking a
look at the Carver County tax rates, now this tax rate is based on the 2019 tax rate but in a
minute I’m going to pull up a different sheet and kind of show you the proposed 2020 tax rates.
Chanhassen has the lowest tax rate in Carver County and in a future slide I’m going to show you
that Chanhassen has among the lowest tax rates in all of the Twin Cities metro. With the average
in the county being 58 and the City of Chanhassen’s tax rate at 21. So for comparative purposes
based on the preliminary levy the City Council set and based on the increase in market value that
the city of Chanhassen noticed, which is essentially the derivative of how the tax rate comes
about, the City’s tax rate for 2020 is actually not going to change that much. So if you take a
look at the proposed notice sent by Carver County of the cities within Chanhassen, the City’s
proposed rate is only increasing by .03 for 2020 even with the preliminary levy set $510,000
above new growth. Taking a look at Chaska which is a .13 percent increase in the tax rate. Take
a look at Chaska for example, their tax rate’s increasing by 2.63 percent. I can assume that they
increased their preliminary levy by significantly more than the percentage that they had taxable
market value increase in that situation. There were some others that showed some decreases, and
you can take a look at some of the others. The line you’re going to want to track here is the
urban line and again these are based on the preliminary levy so each of these jurisdictions could
see this number go lower when their City Council set their final levies here within the next
couple of weeks but I think it’s important to note that even with the increased levy the
Chanhassen tax rate will still only increase by a tenth of a percent. So going back to the
presentation. So how does the City of Chanhassen compare to other Hennepin County taxing
authorities. Cities and this is again based on 2019 rates. Most of the 2020, well all of the 2020
data for the other counties is not available at this point in time. Carver County does share their
preliminary levies with us. But if you take a look at the Chanhassen tax rate, of these
comparable jurisdictions some of which are obviously definitely different in size than the city of
Chanhassen but we’ve looked at these same cities for the last several years. We have the lowest
tax rate, and I even tried to find a city with a lower tax rate than Chanhassen that was at least
somewhat comparable and I had a very difficult time finding one. I believe there was around the
Lake Minnetonka that had a.
Todd Gerhardt: Orono.
Greg Sticha: It might have been Orono, that did have a lower tax rate but there were very few I
could find with a lower tax rate than the City of Chanhassen. So with that I will take any
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019
6
questions from council and then ask the City Council to open the public hearing for any
questions or comments about the 2020 preliminary levy and 2020 general fund budget.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you Mr. Sticha. Council any questions before I open? Go ahead
Councilman McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Thank you Mayor. Mr. Sticha would you go back and go into a little
bit more detail about the $300,000 that we’re looking at putting into the pavement management
fund. What I’m looking at was why are we doing that? If we didn’t do that what would be the
impact future budgets and those type of things?
Greg Sticha: Let me get to that number. I’ll get to the levies which is this line item right here on
this graph. So the City Council decided based on information provided by the engineering
department and it’s consultants that the appropriate amount of total spending on roads per year
should be roughly $3.6 million dollars in annual road construction and mill and overlay projects
in the city of Chanhassen, not including other either State or MSA funded roads as a part of that
equation. That number is based on the number of street miles that were built 50 years ago. After
a long in depth, detailed discussion of that $3.6 million the City Council then had to arrive at
how they were going to come up with the City’s portion of that $3.6 million. How the City was
going to fund their 60 percent of the $3.6 million. The City Council decided on a portion to be
based from a franchise fee which is going to generate roughly $1.7 million in revenues and
another portion in increased property taxes and to get to the City’s share a property tax increase
of the $350,000 will be needed either in 2020 or for sure 2021 as well as a portion of the library
debt that comes off the books for 2022, roughly $200,000 would be needed to get to the City’s
share of the $3.6 million. So that $350,000 is something that in order for us to do $3.6 million
per year in roads will need to be levied for or the City Council would have to reconsider that and
consider doing less than $3.6 million per year in roads.
Councilman McDonald: Okay if I could follow up then. So $350,000 is required for us to
initially start a road management plan that we put in place so again what the $3.6 million per,
$3.2 million?
Greg Sticha: Roughly that’s our share.
Councilman McDonald: Roughly so yeah. So we’ve agreed to that. Part of that is going to be
funded by the franchise fee that we put together. Is this $300,000 going to be a continuing thing
for a number of years or is it a one time thing or a two time thing? What could the citizens kind
of look forward to as far as funding our share of the pavement management program?
Greg Sticha: Well the $350,000 based on our current projections, and the roads that we plan on
doing the next several years will probably need to stay in place for at least the immediate future.
It is possible that in extended years beyond the next several years if we are making better
progress with our roads. If we see them, that they are in better condition than what we had
City Council Truth in Taxation Hearing – December 2, 2019
7
anticipated and if we had less severe winters, a whole bunch of variables that impact our road
conditions that it is possible that that levy could be considered for lowering by a future City
Council. But at least for the next immediate future, next several years I don’t see a way that that
levy would probably be eligible for a reduction unless you wanted to reconsider like I said
reducing the $3.6 million per year in roads. Reconstruction.
Councilman McDonald: Okay so the alternative is if we were to take that $350,000 out of the
budget we would have to revise the pavement management plan and actually spend less per year,
thus stretching out the whole program by a number of years.
Greg Sticha: That is correct.
Councilman McDonald: Okay, thank you very much.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor and council I just wanted to clarify one statement that Greg made is that
the library referendum is going to be paid off next budget year 2021 so right now you’re levying
$457,000. There’s enough money in reserves that you can pay that off so we’re not really taking
the levy money for the library. The debt is paid off so the $457,000 is no longer needed but
you’ve levied that over the years so there’s capacity in your general fund of $457,000 so it’s not
ethically wrong or anything. You’ve got to come up with another $457,000 to make your total
street pavement program balance so that’s one way of increasing the levy or taking what was the
library levy without increasing the levy. So you’re not, you know I don’t want people to think
you’re taking the library levy and that the library is going to be short money. The library is paid
off at the end of this year.

POLICE/FIRE DEPARTMENT RECOGNITION NIGHT.
Mayor Ryan: Now to the main event and why we’re all here today. Thank you again for being
here. Tonight is the first time we’ve ever done a fire responders recognition night. I’m just
looking out at everybody. It’s very exciting to just see you all here so I really appreciate you
being here but we thought it was a great way to start off Thanksgiving week is taking the time to
thank all of you first responders for the service to the community. We have a fun program
planned for tonight but I want to take you back and kind of give you a little understanding of
how we arrived at this evening. So back in March/April of this year we held a Mayor for the
Day contest and we asked fourth and fifth grade students from Chanhassen to write in and say
what would they do if they were Mayor for a day and while we got a lot of responses and letters,
some very funny. A lot of them just really touching. We had two winners. We had Emmy
Rouse from Bluff Creek Elementary, if you want to raise your hand Emmy. You’ll be joining
me later. And I see Amelia Wagner over there who was in fifth grade at the time from Chapel
Hill. And they both wrote great letters and Emmy talked about how we treat each other and what
you should do to take care of each other and those in your community and the thing that kind of
put her letter over the top is she said that every day we should sprinkle joy and so we decided
that it would be a great opportunity for us to sprinkle joy and appreciation for all of you first
responders. And then Amelia also wrote a great letter and she talked about make sure that you
say thank you to people. In addition to serving the residents here in Chanhassen she thought it
was very important for Mayor and City Council to take the time to say thank you and so we are
here tonight to say thank you to all of you first responders. So I just wanted to make sure that
they both could check the box and say that you did your duties as mayor so well done. As part of
that another piece of the puzzle on how we arrived tonight is in separate conversations that I’ve
had both with the Fire Chief as well with Lieutenant Pearce. In conversations that I’ve had with
them they talk about and actually one of the council initiatives was on mental health and we were
talking about what we as a city should do in order to address the growing mental health crisis not
only in our community but at large and what is the role that city plays in addressing this and so
both Chief Johnson and Lieutenant Pearce have shared with the different experiences that you all
face when you go out on some of these mental health calls but what a lot of times we don’t
realize is the mental toll that it takes on all of you and the responsibility and the service that you
have facing different situations and so we thought what a better opportunity to say you know
what, this isn’t just, this isn’t a retirement. This isn’t some heroic act that we’re bringing you
before council but we really just wanted to bring you here to say thank you. Thank you for the
time. Thank you for your commitment and thank you for the service that you provide our
community. You take care of all of our residents. You go when you’re asked. You never
hesitate and you are faced with a lot of very challenging situations and so we just want to say
thank you for your service. And so tonight not only did I want to say a few words. I know my
fellow council members also want to share their appreciation and then there’s other people that
distinguished members that we have here tonight that want to say a few words. Both elected
officials and students and residents of our community that also have special wishes for you as
well so ladies and gentlemen thank you so much. You do tremendous work and you make our
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019

community a safer and a better place to live so thank you so much for your service. Council I
will turn it over to you to share a few words. Councilman McDonald if you’d like to begin.
Councilman McDonald: Well thank you very much and I guess I’m going to keep this brief
because I really appreciate all the distinguished politicians and everybody that showed up for
this. This is really important. The big thing is I want to say thank you to the fire department for
all you do. I think without you in this community it would be a much sadder place. I know a lot
of the calls you go on are mainly, well they’re life and death calls so I thank you for responding.
And then to the police officers who also support our firemen, thank you for responding also.
Also you do keep the community safe and for that we’re greatly appreciative and I think we have
one of the safest communities in the Twin Cities to be truthful but with that I would yield my
time to our distinguished guests tonight and I’ll let them talk. So thank you all very much.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: You mean me next? I don’t think you did but I’ll go next anyways. I
too want to echo Councilman McDonald’s words. When I think about what you do every day
both of your departments, it’s not just being a hero. It’s not just being a, saving someone’s life.
What you’re doing is you are making a difference in someone’s life and they’re probably having
the worst day of their life and you will forever be a part of that with them and they will carry that
memory of that moment you guys shared together and I want to thank you for that because I
mean that’s really the end result. Once the situation has been taken care of or resolved it still is
with us and it still, we still carry it in our heart. I know I do and so I just want to thank you for
your service and everything you do for this community.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you.
Councilwoman Coleman: Good evening. As the proud daughter of a Ramsey County Deputy
and wife of a Chanhassen firefighter I’ve had the privilege of seeing first hand the dedication, the
sacrifice and the commitment that first responders put into their service. From the late nights to
the missed family events to leaving your spouse at a restaurant to make a call. You all answer
the call to duty without complaint. You put your lives on the line every single day with the level
of humility that truly makes me proud to be an American. Thank you and your families for the
sacrifice and commitment to service that you all put into this. We owe you a debt that I don’t
think we could ever truly repay but we are so grateful that you do this for us. Thank you.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you. Councilman Campion.
Councilman Campion: That was very well said Councilwoman Coleman. I would just like to
keep it simple and say you know thank you to the fire department and thank you to the sheriff’s
department for everything that you do. For your dedication. For the service that you provide to
keeping our community safe every day and again those sacrifices that you make in being away
from your family and loved ones to do just that for us and keep us safe so thank you.
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019

Mayor Ryan: Thank you council members for your words. Now I’d like to invite our
distinguished guests. As many of you know that your service and your commitment to serve
goes beyond just our city limits and so we have representation at the county level. At the state
level and at the federal level and I was just overjoyed for lack of better words when I sent out the
email inviting our elected officials to join us this evening and it was a resounding yes. I will be
there and I couldn’t be more honored and privileged to have them here so we’ll begin with your
Congressman Dean Phillips. Thank you for being here.
Congressman Dean Phillips: Thank you Mayor Ryan and to the council for doing something that
is quite remarkable and frankly the anecdote to I think what so troubles our nation right now and
it’s expressing gratitude and as I look at all of you in uniform I’m humbled and I’m honored and
I am eternally grateful for what you do. So many of us can sleep at night because of what you do
and I want to thank not just you but also your families who I’m sure are in attendance and your
children. As a Gold Star son myself I can understand what it means when your mom or dad goes
off to protect all the rest of us so it is with gratitude that I share with all of you and just to tell a
very quick story because I think for Thanksgiving week it’s one we could use. In a Congress
that I know so many see as terribly dysfunctional, and you’re not incorrect in assuming that,
there was a beautiful moment just a couple weeks ago. Congressman Elijah Cummings passed
away. An esteemed member of Congress. Representative of Baltimore. A very liberal member
of Congress and at the service at the Capitol upon his passing members of the House and Senate
leadership made their speeches but it was the most remarkable eulogy was from Mark Meadows.
My friend, member of Congress. One of the most conservative members of Congress. Co-Chair
of the Freedom Caucus and he talked about their beautiful friendship. Their relationship that he
Elijah Cummings had which none of us knew about and his final words in his eulogy were these
and he said our Country and the world would be so much better off with more unlikely
friendships so to all of us in the room, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, anything
inbetween, thank you for standing up. For participating. For loving one another and taking care
of this extraordinary community. I do believe the future will be better because of so many of
you in this room and I’m so humbled to be amongst you and to serve you so thank you and God
speed.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you Congressman. Senator Osmek, please join us.
Senator Osmek: Well thank you Mayor, members of the council. It’s so loaded I’m outside
standing room only. A wise man once told me never stand between a crowd and a cake so I’ll be
very brief. One of the good things that the legislature has done to help first responders is helping
your city have their services as tax exempt. That they can buy equipment that is tax exempt and
we did that a couple of sessions ago to stretch your dollars further. I think that’s important
because why do we need it in St. Paul when you folks can spend it better here in Chanhassen.
And I’m hoping I can get through this. Last month I lost my mom and first responders were the
ones that came out and I know that they go to places and events that are hopeless. Where you
can’t a life. But for a family member I just want you to know we appreciate you. We appreciate
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019

what you’ve done and we appreciate the fact that you go into a place where you know there is no
hope so thank you.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you Senator. Representative Morrison. Welcome, thank you.
Representative Kelly Morrison: Thank you Mayor and thank you council. Good evening. I’m
Kelly Morrison. I’m the State Representative for District 33B which includes part of
Chanhassen. I’m really honored to be a part of honoring first responders tonight and as a
physician and specifically an obstetrician I relate to some of your work. The jolt out of sleep in
the middle of the night. The adrenalin. The moments of boredom abruptly interrupted by an
urgent call to action. Occasional fear. That awful feeling when the news is sad and things don’t
go well. And the satisfaction of a job well done and the appreciation from those that you helped.
But my job has never required me to put my life on the line the way that your’s do so I want to
thank you for your bravery. I want to thank you for your service to our community. And I want
to thank you for keeping us safe. Thanks very much.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you. Representative Boe. Welcome.
Representative Greg Boe: Thank you Mayor, members of the council. Greg Boe, District 47B
which is a good portion of Chanhassen. A good portion of Victoria and also the City of Chaska.
I’m here tonight because I just want to also say a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for your
selfless giving of time and energy. Time spent with a large amount of training necessary to do
the jobs that you do in our community but also time spent responding to calls for assistance.
And those calls can come anytime day or night. They can come during a family meal. They can
come during a piano recital. They can come during the middle of the night and interrupt a
peaceful, relaxing sleep but you dutifully get up and you go out into the cold, or the heat of a
summer day. Summer night and you respond. You dutifully risk your life or your health or your
sanity to help a friend, a neighbor or perhaps even a complete stranger and because of that
selfless attitude we owe you a great debt of gratitude and so I just want to tonight say thank you
so much for all that you do to make our community a better place to raise our families. Thank
you.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you. Commissioner Workman. Welcome.
Carver County Commissioner Tom Workman: Madam Mayor and council. Good to see you.
We’re not going by seniority here or rank of office I hope. Maybe years of service. I’ve been
around a while. I know I don’t look old but you know I wonder how many people have had a
first responder at their home. I know Councilmember Tjornhom and others and I was minding
my own business on Bluff Creek one beautiful fall afternoon. I was a good husband. I built and
got ready he wood fire in the fireplace like I, you know because it was a little chilly in the air and
well my wife lit it and the chimney started on fire so after a frantic call with 5 holes to go, and I
didn’t want to leave the golf course and came around the corner to this group of good looking
folk on my front yard. Putting out the fire and running fans and everything else and so I always
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019

thought that was going to be somebody else. I went a long time without having these guys show
up at my house and that’s over so. I know I live closer to Highway 5 now and I know they have
been very busy in the early, early mornings going up and down Highway 5. That’s how I tell
what’s going on. Something was going on at 4:00 a.m. the other night. While I was warm in bed
and thinking about what they were doing. The call that a person makes of course comes down to
our Carver County Dispatch Center. It does not go to the County Commissioner’s home as many
wonder. That would be a disaster. But those good people manage those calls and it gets out to
the fire department. The men and women of the fire department in the brown and white shirts
here. The Carver County Sheriff’s Department which we at Carver County are very proud of
and our relationship with Chanhassen and how that all works. You know the congress people
and the legislators you know they’re in that white castle. You know we’re down here really
working that, that I like to say that, but it is day to day working hard with the city and the county
together to really get that accomplished but it’s these good folks that accomplish it so I want to
take my hat off to them. Thank you.
Mayor Ryan: Great, thank you Commissioner. I can’t believe you didn’t end your’s with Row
the Boat. I know you really wanted to do that. Well as many of you know your hours are long
and you go when you’re called but another component of your job and something that we so
appreciate is the community outreach and you all do such a fabulous job really inserting yourself
in the community. Going into schools. Going into businesses and really teaching our youth
about fire safety. About public safety and there’s no politician that could say it so instead we
asked some elementary students from Chanhassen Elementary School to come forward and they
have a few words that they would like to share with all of you so, headed by PTO member,
President of Chanhassen Elementary Laura Allen. If you want to have your kids come up and
say a few words we’d appreciate it.
Leo Allen: Hi. My name is Leo Allen. I’m a fourth grader at Chanhassen Elementary. Each of
us wrote down a word that describes the first responders in our community. We would like to
share those words with you. I think first responders are tough because they’re willing to go to an
emergency at any time.
Eli: Hi, my name is Eli and I chose the word helpful because I think first responders are helpful.
They help people in the community.
Ruthie: My name is Ruthie. I think first responders are courageous because they can save lives
and help people.
Jacob: My name is Jacob. I choose time because I think first responders are on time because
they help you and save you as well.
Wyatt: My name is Wyatt and I think first responders are smart because they have to think fast.
Heather: Hi my name is Heather and I think first responders are strong because they can break…

Wilton: My name is Wilton and I chose brave because first responders will go through a fire and
risk their lives just to save your’s.
Lila: Hi I’m Lila and I think first responders are amazing because they come for an emergency
and they give their time to take care of us and make sure that we’re okay.
Addie: Hi I’m Addie and I think first responders are heroes because they are people who lunge
at problems and help during a time of need.
Tina: Hi I’m Tina…that we would like to give our firefighter and our police officers, thank you
for your time.
Mayor Ryan: Awesome. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I know how much that
meant to all of our first responders and like I said nobody says it better than kids so we
appreciate all of you being here and parents thank you for bringing your kids here tonight. And
again thank you for the community outreach that all of you do within our community. So the
next part we’re going to do a little pinning ceremony. I’m not going to put the pin on you but
I’m going to ask, I never was good at all that stuff there. So we’re going to have, I’m going to
ask my two mayors for the day to join me down front and invite you up and we will give you a
pin that is a City of Chanhassen pin and is representative of your continued service to our
community that all of us so greatly value and appreciate so Emmy and Amelia if you want to join
me down and then Lieutenant Pearce if you want come up and call up your deputies.
Lt. Lance Pearce: Mayor, council I appreciate the invite to this amazing night for me and my
staff along with our firefighters in the audience here. Tonight I’d like to highlight the dedication
our deputies have shown to the sheriff’s office and to the city of Chanhassen. To point out just a
few items collectively to date this year our deputies and sergeants assigned to Chanhassen, I
think we have everybody except for one here in attendance tonight. We’ve put in over 28,000
hours. Kept our streets safe by arresting 66 people for DUI. Responded to 453 traffic crashes.
Assisted 110 people in mental health crisis and assisted on 829 medical emergencies so far this
year. We increased our community outreach and additional citizen contacts and several other
additional events compared to last year. What I can tell you tonight is that the deputies have a
dedication to the sheriff’s office mission statement which is to serve everybody with respect and
dignity and to do so with honor, integrity and pride. They have a dedication to service as a core
value. Chanhassen is a community for life. The efforts of this group continue to help make this
a reality. The partnership and support of the City Council, city staff and fire department
fundamentally help us achieve our goal of public safety. I am truly proud of the service to the
county and to the city of Chanhassen for our staff. For their dedication and service tonight I can
only say a simple thank you.

Mayor Ryan along with Mayors for the Day Emmy Rouse and Amelia Wagner handed out
City of Chanhassen pins to Carver County Sheriff Deputies introduced by Lt. Lance
Pearce and his leadership team.
Chief Don Johnson: Good evening Mayor and council. Thanks again for having us here to hear
your accolades and appreciation from the council so it’s exceptionally special for me tonight for
having all of us here to thank our staff and the work that they do. I didn’t bring a bunch of
numbers with me tonight. I usually have them on the top of my head but our staff has responded
to 901 calls this year already so with a total of 920 last year we’re still above the pace so
appreciative of what our folks are doing on a daily basis. They just keep coming at us and we
keep responding so we appreciate being here tonight. I'll start on this end of the room and we
can just start rolling through staff.
Mayor Ryan along with Mayors for the Day Emmy Rouse and Amelia Wagner handed out
City of Chanhassen pins to Fire Fighters introduced by Chief Don Johnson.
Mayor Ryan: Well before we adjourn for the cake, which is the most exciting part I again want
to say thank you to the first responders for your continued commitment and service to our
community. You make us a safer and a better place and really you’re at the heart and soul of our
community so really appreciate your dedication to this community. I’d also like to extend my
thanks to council, our elected officials and of course my co-mayors Emmy and Amelia for
joining me here tonight so thank you all. I wish all of you a happy, safe Thanksgiving and
holiday season and really appreciate all that you do for our community and we’ll take a short
recess for, oh my gosh and the school children. I forgot the school children. Leo sorry buddy.
Thank you all for being here. I know I’ll hear about it later Leo. I know. You can send me a
text but thank you all for being here tonight so we’ll take a short recess and have some cake and
again thank you all very, very much.
There was a short recess to serve cake in recognition of appreciation to the first responders.
Mayor Ryan: Alright call the meeting back to order. Well that was great. Thank you for all
your words council.

VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Ryan: I believe we have one visitor presentation. Please welcome.
Kendall Qualls: Yeah thank you Mayor Ryan and the City Council. Thank you for having me
tonight. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Kendall Qualls. I am running for U.S.
Congress on the Republican ticket for the upcoming 2020 election and I thought it was apropos
actually that you had the first responders here but you know unfortunately they’re gone but if
they wanted to see a Black Republican announcing for U.S. Congress on a Republican ticket
anybody that passed out could have had immediate response and help and you know I say that
with all you know humility and humor but I say that with proud honor to be able to run on the
Republican ticket as an American and also again I want to introduce myself to the council
because if duly elected I’d look forward to working with you on federal related topics of agenda.
Transportation. Environmental. Those type of things but I want to give you an idea of why I’m
running and a little bit of my background. I haven’t run for local office before but it’s not the
first time I served my country. I started out in my career after college serving our country in
uniform and U.S. Army. I was actually 5 years serving in the U.S. as well in South Korea as an
artillery officer. After that I spent roughly 15 years in health care all on the pharmaceutical side
of the industry with Johnson and Johnson. And the other half of my career, say another 10 years
or so on the med tech side most recently with Medtronic and so that’s my rationale for presence
being here in Minnesota. It’s a jewel of a company. Just really a, when I talk to people across
the country it’s really the envy of the country that you guys have that here. We have that here in
Minnesota. Little bit about my background beyond professional. My wife is here with me.
We’ve been married for 33 years. We have 5 children. People ask why am I doing this now? I
tell we have 4 kids that are out of the home. We have two things we haven’t had in a long time.
That’s leftovers and spare time and I just felt the need that based on where we are in politics
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019

today that I needed to serve. I felt compelled to serve my country again so again no action. Just
an introduction and again is duly elected I’d be honored to be able to work with you guys as I
mentioned on federally related topic of agenda. I’m also honored to have my opponent join me
tonight but he left before my announcement so thank you.
Mayor Ryan: Alright thank you Mr. Qualls in your election process.
Kendall Qualls: Thank you.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you. Are there any other visitor presentations? I won’t put you on the spot
like that. With no visitor presentations. We already got the updates from the fire department and
law enforcement and so we’ll move right to New Business and go to what Councilman
McDonald pulled off the consent agenda.
CONSENT AGENDA. (5). ACCEPT DONATION FROM LOVE INC FOR DONATION
TO THE SENIOR CENTER MAPLE ROOM (MEMORY CAFE).
Mayor Ryan: Who would be, Mr. Hoffman or Mr. Gerhardt?
Todd Gerhardt: I can take it.
Mayor Ryan: Okay.
Todd Gerhardt: Before you tonight is a request to accept a donation from Love INC for donating
to the Senior Center Maple Room Memory Café. Love INC played a huge role in donating
furniture to the Memory Café and just for those in the public, Memory Café is for those families
that have loved ones that are dealing with memory care issues. They can come to the café and
socialize with other family members that are dealing with Alzheimers or memory issues and we
think that is the number one support group that is out there when other people are afflicted with
this type of issue and the Memory Café is to help bring families together and share ideas and
share thoughts and a lot of thanks go to Mary Blazanin, our Senior Center Coordinator.
Sharmeen Al-Jaff, our Senior Planner that is also coordinates our Senior Commission. The
Senior Commission was, played a big role in this. Ace Hardware made a lot of donations. Help
me out if I’m forgetting anybody Todd.
Mayor Ryan: The Legion.
Todd Gerhardt: And we also had private donation of $2,000 to do our financial gap at the end
that helped finish off the Memory Café and we’re very proud of it and it’s a beautiful facility.
We had a ribbon cutting a couple months ago and thank you Mayor for doing that and would
love to give you an update a year from now on how we’re doing.
Mayor Ryan: Great. Thank you Mr. Gerhardt. Councilman McDonald?
Chanhassen City Council – November 25, 2019
11
Councilman McDonald: Yes Mayor. As part of my long standing tradition I really believe that
anyone who donates to the City to help us as far as doing causes or anything that would be a
benefit to the community, I really think that they deserve a public acknowledgement which is
why I wanted to pull this off. And according to the write up here we also forgot B&B Carpet
One. Carpet’s always important.
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah, always important.
Councilman McDonald: But that was the reason I pulled it off and I really have no questions. I
just wanted to make sure that publicly we thanked everyone for the facility that they help put
together for us. You know memory care units and memory care was a big priority of our’s about
a year ago getting everything started and up and running so I’m glad to see that we’re continuing
to make improvements to that and to add another resource to people whose loved ones are
suffering through that disease. So thank you to everyone who contributed. And with that Mayor
if you would like I’ll make a motion.
Mayor Ryan: Yes please.
Councilman McDonald: I’ll make a motion that the City Council adopts a resolution accepting
donations from Love INC for improvements to the Senior Center Maple Corner Room.
Mayor Ryan: We have a valid motion. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Second.
Resolution #2019-57: Councilman McDonald moved, Councilwoman Tjornhom seconded
that the City Council adopts a resolution accepting donations from Love INC for
improvements to the Senior Center Maple Corner Room (Memory Café). All voted in
favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Mayor Ryan: Thank you for pulling that off Councilman McDonald. I appreciate the public
recognition. I don’t know if anyone, if we’ve all had a chance to go down to that room but it
really is, they’ve transformed that room so it’s just past the Fountain Conference Room. Go
down the hallway a little bit further and you walk in and you can’t believe that, not only their
furniture but the design elements that they, that Love INC contributed to this and it was the
carpet and the blinds and they’re going to have students come in and paint a, kind of a collage
type painting on the walls and so according to Sharmeen she said they’ve already had one
meeting already. Or collage. I think I said mirage. They’re maybe one in the same. But they’ve
already had one meeting last week and it was a tremendous success and people are really
enjoying that room so again thank you for pulling that off and public recognizing all of our
donors on behalf of the Maple Corner Room.

COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS. None.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Mayor Ryan: Administrative presentations Mr. Gerhardt.
Todd Gerhardt: Mayor, council members. This is for the public. We have on June 2nd at 7:00
p.m. our Truth in Taxation meeting in this room so I think everybody’s received their Truth in
Taxation statement.
Councilman McDonald: Did you say June 2nd?
Mayor Ryan: December.
Todd Gerhardt: December. What did I say?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: You said June.
Todd Gerhardt: June oh. I don’t know what’s going on on June 2nd but yeah December 2nd. I
didn’t have any cake. So December 2nd and so we look forward to the public coming to the
council chambers here and having the opportunity to present our 2020 budget to them and again
everybody should have received their notices in the mail and any questions that the public may
have regarding their value or about the budget staff has prepared a great presentation to give to
the public and explain how we’re planning to spend the 2020 taxes that will be collected from
our residents and businesses. So if there’s nothing else for the council on that one. I’d also like
to announce that we have hired our New Public Works Director, Charles Howley. He comes
from us from Hansen-Thorpe-Gillian and Olson, known as HTPO and he was a vice president
with HTPO. He’s worked on a couple of projects in Chanhassen. Has strong stormwater
management resource background. He lives in Prior Lake and family man with 3 children and
we’re excited. Very customer service oriented. Great listener. And has had experience as a
council member. He has experience as a planning commissioner so Kate’s going to like that.
She’s not here. Oh there she is. And so it’s always nice that my engineering staff is talking with
my planning staff so he understands planning and he also serves on a watershed district over in
Prior Lake right now so I think that’s everything that you’re looking for in an engineer and he
has project management experience on roads so, and that’s right up our alley. It too us a while to
find the right candidate but Mr. Howley is going to do a great job for us I think now and into the
future so he starts January 2nd and not think of June 2nd as I mentioned earlier but I’m just excited
to have my sixth public works director in a year, counting the interims and so I think he’s going
to be here for the long run so excited for him to start.
Mayor Ryan: Perfect.
Todd Gerhardt: And that’s all I have.

DISCUSS FEASIBILITY STUDY AND NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY FOR
THE NEWLY ACQUIRED LAKE ANN PARK.
Todd Hoffman provided background information on the work that’s been done to date before
introducing Kevin Clarke, the consultant with Hoisington-Koegler Group Inc., working on this
project Kevin Clarke reviewed the results from the feasibility study addressing key principles
used in the study, a map outlining the Lake Ann Park components, the trail plan using paved
trails as well as natural surface trails, the parking plan at Greenwood Shores Park, management
and preservation of natural resources, signage and wayfinding, and estimated costs for 2020,
which are subject to change, for a total estimated overall cost of $4.2 million. Councilman
Campion asked about the cost for a bridge versus boardwalk construction. Todd Gerhardt asked
Kevin Clarke to comment on the status of possibly including a dog park and playground
equipment options with the plan. Councilwoman Tjornhom asked if off trail sites having
benches has been explored. Councilman McDonald asked if the trail plan will be accessible for
public safety. Mayor Ryan asked if public feedback has been addressed with this plan and next
steps to find possible funding sources. She explained that the council needs to have a discussion
on whether a referendum should include the $4.2 for Lake Ann Park expansion or $9 million to
incorporate improvements at other community parks after feedback is received from the citizen
survey.
KEY FINANCIAL STRATEGY: DISCUSSION OF UTILIY FUND FEES.
Greg Sticha provided background information on the study regarding utility fund fees and the
use of hook up fees. He discussed equity issues involved with providing subsidies with local

continued discussing the deferred program and possible loss revenue before explaining staff is
recommending not setting an exception based policy. Todd Gerhardt discussed programs being
offered by Carver Count CDA and the State of Minnesota. Councilman McDonald and
Councilwoman Tjornhom concurred with staff’s recommendation. Mayor Ryan explained the
impetus for putting this item under key financial strategy. She noted that no action will be taken
in 2019 but her belief that it is something the council should continue to discuss early in 2020 to
continue exploring this option as a way to encourage development in the city.

Walters, Associate Planner
Weick: Welcome to everyone joining us here in chambers and elsewhere. For the record we
have a quorum this evening with Commissioner Tietz, McGonagill, Skistad, Reeder and Randall,
along with myself. The Planning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council.
You may follow all of the amendments being discussed this evening with the City Council for
final action on December 9, 2019. We will accept public input this evening all at once at the
end. It’s a little different of a procedure. We will open up the public hearing once we’ve heard
all of the amendment items being presented this evening. So tonight’s format, the items will be,
the amendments will be introduced. At the conclusion of each amendment the commission,
Commissioners may ask questions and gain clarification as needed. We’ll go through all of the
amendments in that fashion. When we get through the last amendment then we will open up the
public portion of the hearing and invite anyone present to offer their opinion on any one of the
items. At that time then we would go through our normal process of hearing a motion, a second,
providing any comment as necessary and voting and I believe if things go well we can vote on all
the amendments at once. With that I will turn this evening’s proceedings over to MacKenzie.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO REMOVE STANDARD
SPECIFICATIONS AND DETAIL PLATE REQUIREMENT FOR PERMEABLE
PAVER SYSTEMS.
Walters: Thank you. So the first amendment to discuss tonight is removing a standard for paver
design plates that was in the pervious paver ordinance that was adopted last year. Basically one
of our design criteria state that pervious pavement systems in order to be counted as pervious lot
cover need to meet the current version of the City of Chanhassen’s standard specifications and
detail plates. Staff looked into what it would actually take to create these plates and one of the
quotes we got was around the neighborhood of $5,000 per plate. Figure 20 to 60 plates
depending on how technical you want to be updating them every year, it got to be very
prohibitive. Both in terms of staff time and resources. The ordinance already references the
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
2
Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute as the like presiding body for determining standards
and designs. This organization has various design and detail plates available. Maintains a
professional certification program. The more we looked into it the more we realized the city
standard requirement was duplicate to have and redundant and the engineering department
recommended that we amend the ordinance to remove a second set of city standards and just use
the ones put down by the most common body which is the ICPI so this will establish equally
effective standards. It’s already in the code and it would avoid a duplicative process on our end.
I’ll, if you have any questions on that I’d be happy to address them.
Weick: Thanks MacKenzie. Just one question on that. So then the code would, as the ICPI
standards are updated the code would automatically update with those standards?
Walters: Correct.
Weick: Okay. And it wouldn’t have to be re.
Aanenson: No.
Walters: Yep no effort. Yep it wouldn’t need to come before you and staff wouldn’t need to
update an administrative documents. It works a lot quicker and easier.
Weick: Perfect.
Reeder: Who are they?
Weick: Who are who?
Reeder: The ICPI.
Walters: Yep it’s a planning organization that promotes pervious paver technologies. So they
have a certification for different contractors that do work in making sure they’re trained. Know
how to properly install and so they work, they provide technical expertise and resources on the
subject.
Reeder: So are there users on that board that help determine those criteria?
Walters: I would have to look a little more into it. I know that they have a large number of
member organizations and contractors and that they work with them to update and maintain
standards.
Reeder: Okay.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

McGonagill: So MacKenzie when the, and I guess what would happen when a building permit
came in they’d referenced this and they would kind of show in the permit what they were going
to use. But then you would have the opportunity or staff had an opportunity to look at it and be
sure aesthetically it was going to work you know so if something’s totally crazy. Or if you knew
of something better within those standards you could point them to that and collaborate with
them on it. Is that kind of way the process would work?
Walters: Right. So we require it to be an engineered design system within these standards so
with the permit they would have to either have an engineer you know sign off on an independent
system, and then show that it met the standards of the ICPI and that the installer was ICPI
certified and then our engineering department would review those and say yep, this looks like it
will do what it says or yeah, this is you know way left of what we expected.
McGonagill: Okay thank you.
Tietz: I’ve got a couple questions. The ICPI developed for our environment? Or is it a national
standard, it’s the same for Southern California as it is for Maine?
Walters: So when you go to their technical things you can actually pick based on states and
provinces. They do gradient. Now do they go down to the level of Chanhassen exactly?
Tietz: No I’m just talking cold weather environment with clay.
Walters: Yes.
Aanenson: And soil types too, yep.
Tietz: Yeah. And then do they know are there certified contractors locally?
Walters: Yep we’ve been told there are.
Tietz: Okay. So it’s not limited to a couple contractors?
Aanenson: No.
Walters: And any contractor can apply and become certified and get trained.
Aanenson: If I can just back up so when we talked about putting these pavers in place, if you
recall we spent a lot of time looking at what those standards would be. We decided that they
didn’t go into the shoreland district. We’ve used them sometimes in the variance applications to
mitigate impact of hard cover. We spent a lot of time on that and I think the thing that we missed
is the detail plate standards. The language. That language. But the purpose of that was to have
a standard that someone’s just not doing pervious pavers but how do we know that they’re
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

effective in doing what they’re supposed to be doing. So the, working with the watershed district
and the Water Resources Coordinator you know we decided that we wanted something that was
demonstrated. That it was functioning as providing the pervious portion that was supposed to be
because people say they’re going to put them in. It might just be landscaped or they said there’s
a gap between the bricks and that’s going to cover it. And so we wanted something that was
engineered and demonstrated that it met certain standards and that includes installation.
Tietz: Yeah and I think it’s important that the quality of the paver, there’s some installations
where I’ve noticed it over by, they put in pervious pavers over by Total Wine. Look at those.
There’s a lot of failure in that area already.
Aanenson: Okay. Yeah.
Tietz: The brick or the stone that you used is crumbling so it’s not like significant but, and that
hasn’t been in that long and there’s already failure in the material. So I’d be concerned that you
know it’s like some of those concrete retaining walls and the composition of the concrete that’s
used in creating those blocks, they get the salt spray and after 5 or 10 years it looks like they’re
melting because the spray is just eroding the concrete so I think it depends upon the quality of
the material that’s put in too and I don’t know if ICPI deals with the quality of the material. I’m
not trying to make it you know gilded surface. I just don’t want people to spend a lot of money
because these are not cheap installations and then have surface failure.
Aanenson: Agreed.
Walters: Yep the one thing I would say to that in terms of from the City’s interest ensuring the
performance of the systems they do have to enter into maintenance agreements so if they degrade
and no longer function the City can compel repairs. Regarding quality materials there is only so
much we can do to protect people from themselves but it is you know something the engineering
department would look at was obviously not going to last or work.
Skistad: Is the Total Wine, is that concrete or is that actually pavers?
Tietz: Well I don’t know and that’s a good question. I think it’s a new rock and paver and it’s
the granite material between the pavers so theoretically it’s porous. I don’t know. That’s a good
question. I’m not sure if it’s a concrete, I don’t think it’s, it’s not a cast or a brick paver. It’s
some type of cemetous material I believe.
Skistad: I asked a friend in the business actually and he installed concrete, impervious concrete
in Excelsior along the shoreline and they said that they have seen significant, they don’t think it
looks very good and I know it hasn’t been that long either.
Tietz: I don’t know we’ll have to go check it out.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

Skistad: But the pavers are better than the concrete. So that’s why I asked the question.
Aanenson: Sounds like that might be something that we could do on a field trip next year is
maybe go out and look at some sites. There’s some at the Arboretum too where they’re doing
some modeling and different types of pavers. We have some pervious pavement so there’s
different applications of different things but I think that might be a good thing to go look at.
Skistad: Is the City planning on having more impervious concrete or pavers and ongoing?
Aanenson: No. So what we did is put in place an opportunity for somebody that’s maximized
their hard cover to allow them, if they wanted to.
Skistad: To increase by 5 percent.
Aanenson: Right yep, they have to do yep exactly. They have to do the pervious. And we
haven’t had that many applications for it because you really have to, you know it’s a cost and
then again as I mentioned you can’t do it in the shoreland district so, because the whole goal is to
protect the lakes and the streams and that’s all so.
Skistad: Okay. I just when I was reading the first section I just wasn’t sure if the City had
planned on adding.
Aanenson: Not at this time.
Skistad: The sort of, okay.
Aanenson: It’s in place right now and so it’s just, as MacKenzie stated it’s just clarifying the
detail plates. So if you want to show the motion that you had on there.
Walters: Yeah so if there’s no more questions, if we’re doing some kind of I believe the motion
would be the recommend would be the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter
20 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning pervious paver design standards.
Aanenson: We’ll just make that all omnibus at the end if nobody has any questions.
Weick: And it’s certainly not a, this is not a question of whether we agree or not with pervious
pavers. This is whether we can add this.
Aanenson: Add to the standard, correct.
Walters: What is being proposed would not substantively change how pavers are treated in the
city or allowed or where they are allowed.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

Weick: Okay.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO CLARIFY LANGUAGE
GOVERNING RECREATIONAL BEACH LOTS.
Walters: Recreational beach lots. This is primarily a clarification amendment. The language
governing recreational beach lot dates back to the early 80’s. Has never been cleaned up. Has
been amended a couple times and is not structured in the clearest way. It causes a lot of
confusion as folks contact us and try to sort out what they can and can’t do. How they could
potentially change beach lots that exist so staff went through it and tried to clean it up and make
it flow a little smoother. Make it a little more decipherable to the average resident reading it.
While we were doing this we discovered two sections of it that were either outdated references or
just quite frankly made no sense and so we’re also proposing that those be removed. I put
together a little chart of what we’re planning on doing so one of the big changes not, one of the
bigger organizational changes I should say is reorganizing Subsection 7. As it’s currently
structured it’s just one giant run of paragraph with about 6 different ideas so we broke it out to
actually make it clear when it’s talking about docks. When it’s talking about rack storage and
when it’s talking about sailboat moorings. We did not change any of the numbers or any of the
storage allotments. We wanted to make very sure that we didn’t substantively change what was
allowed under that ordinance. So none of these here changed the content. It’s all just structures
and making it clearer of what’s being said instead of having it all lumped in one place. The
changes we did make are, there’s a section where it refers to the Year 2000 Metropolitan Urban
Service Area. That hasn’t been accurate for I think since the 2020 Comp Plan and we’re now in
the 2040 Comp Plan so just removing that so it now references the most recently adopted
Comprehensive Plan. That will keep it perpetually up to date. The other thing is there was very
confusing language about how if there were two bordering lots under common ownership they
could put a dock within the required dock setback so I made a little graphic. So if one HOA
owned both these lots they could combine the lot area and shoreline to put in one dock in the
middle. There was no reason for this provision to exist. If an HOA wanted to do that they could
do a zoning lot and combine those lots for the same rights or they could cluster them and as long
as they didn’t complain to us about themselves we would never take enforcement action. So it
was just, all of sat down and read it and couldn’t understand why it was in there or what it
accomplished so it’s being removed for clarity sake. I will take any questions you have.
Aanenson: I just want to add again we do have a lot of non-conforming beach lots and so this
doesn’t substantively change, give anybody more boats. More canoes. But it clarifies how it can
be used because we get questions. There’s a nomenclature now we have paddleboards. Things
that weren’t originally put in there. People say if I’m not put 3 canoes can I substitute that for 6
paddleboards so this just cleans that all up.
Skistad: So is it taking away those?
Aanenson: No, no.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
7
Skistad: So it’s not adding or reducing?
Aanenson: No. Just better language. More contemporary.
Walters: Thoughts or questions? Alright seeing none. So the proposed motion would have been
recommend City Council adopts proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City
Code concerning recreational beach lots.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO REQUIRE TRAFFIC STUDIES AS
PART OF SITE PLAN REVIEWS.
Walters: Next one. Site plan traffic impacts. So this one, as the city’s built out we’re having
more and more properties come forward to redevelop and this, because it often times involves a
use going to a more intensive use so a use that will generate more traffic. Expect to have more
visitors. Maybe include a drive thru or something of that nature. There’s a greater potential for
these redeveloped parcels to impact the surrounding uses and businesses and then also the
roadways providing access to these older developments. So the existing criteria for site plan
evaluation is really targeted a lot towards green field development so that’s new and fresh
development and it talks a lot about interior, site circulation, interior vehicle flow. It doesn’t talk
as much about the impact on adjacent properties and we wanted to make sure that the City had
the ability when it was felt necessary to require applicants to provide a traffic study so that we
could evaluate the impact of a proposal on the surrounding road system. So our proposed
solution would be to add impact on level of service of roads to the site plan evaluation standards
and also then add in there in the application requirements that the City can request a traffic study
and that they would have to provide it if requested. So that’s the.
Aanenson: I’ll just give you some examples that are coming forward now. So the council
approved a liquor license for Jimmies Southern Barbeque which would be right next to the
Tequila Butcher and they’ve asked for a drive thru to come around that building so this, having a
traffic study gives, and you’ll probably see that on your January meeting. Will give a lot of
additional information about stacking. How does that affect the circulation inside because that’s
part of a strip mall. They’d have to go behind the whole strip mall. There’s a dry cleaner with a
drive thru on one end. So we just want to see how that’s all going to work, and then also you’ve
got a very busy driveway right next door with the new Tequila Butcher. The old Applebee’s site
so.
McGonagill: And you have Chick-fil-A and…
Aanenson: Yeah right and so we made both of those do traffic studies too because when they
came in so it, as MacKenzie said most of it’s from green fill but there are infill developments
where we want to look at the traffic study. We anticipate that on the Perkin’s site. That PUD.
The old Perkin’s site allowed for two drive thru’s. There’s already two. The Taco Bell and
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
8
Leeann Chin’s has a drive thru so, so if they were to come in that would be, they’d have to
amend the PUD to allow for another drive thru but we’d also, because you’re amending the PUD
then you have the authority to ask for a drive thru there too so we just want to make sure that
existing businesses or you know are not negatively affected. But then positively if they can work
out. We just want to make sure that everybody understands that so.
Skistad: So this is primarily for the downtown area?
Aanenson: Well anywhere. You could be a drive thru over, the neighborhood business on, our
Kwik Trip down on Lyman and 101. There’s some other potential uses there that they’ve had
some inquiries for drive thru’s so it could be there too. When Avienda comes in we only
permitted I think two drive thru’s there so if they wanted to amend that we would also ask them
for a traffic study on that too so.
McGonagill: But Kate this is not just for drive service.
Aanenson: Correct.
McGonagill: If you drop in say a subdivision somewhere, you know they access in and out with
that or? You’re doing an infill subdivision and maybe 5 or 6 homes inside of a large piece of
property you could require a.
Aanenson: Yep we’ll just have to make that, engineering to make that determination correct.
Right so for example on The Park, because the County was upgrading Galpin they did the traffic
study on that and we over modeled the number. I think they used 200 plus homes on that one
and so that was modeled for that but yeah you’re right. So we look at that.
Skistad: So you’re already doing that? You’re already asking for traffic studies?
Aanenson: On a subdivision. But not always do we have that authority.
Skistad: So there’s times when you don’t have, when you feel that you need one and you
haven’t been able to ask for one?
Aanenson: Correct. If there’s a conditional use we changed the language on the conditional use
one that says if they’re asking for a conditional use that one of the conditions would be they do a
traffic study, yeah.
Walters: So for example let’s say I had a warehouse that had very low traffic impacts. You
know it’s a storage facility or something. I sold it to another entity. They decided they wanted
to get rid of the warehouse. Put up a new business that was going to generate a lot more traffic.
Well that’s not really a rezoning. They’re not amending the PUD. We wouldn’t necessarily
have the leverage to compel a traffic study under the current ordinance. What this would say is
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
9
no it is within our purview in the site plan to see how this new change of use for this building is
going to impact this industrial development. You need to do a traffic study. It’s not something
that would be done frivolously because you know they are expensive but we want to make sure
we have that tool when it’s needed.
Aanenson: …most common right now. We have some older warehouse buildings that are
changing over into kind of commercial space. You look at what’s happening on Dell Road, a lot
of those incubator businesses are now becoming kind of quasi retail and we have stuff in there
that we never imagined. We’ve got a shooting range in there. We’ve got Feed my Starving
Children so there’s a lot of trips being generated so right now there’s off peak and some of that
also determines what are the peak traffic hours. When someone wants to do a dance studio and
you’re in conflict with a lot of other things, we just want to make sure we understand that so that
also helps determine that and those, you know not necessarily directional traffic but sometimes
it’s talking more about that peak… Is there enough parking spaces out there.
Skistad: How do you do a traffic study?
Aanenson: A consultant does it. That’s their specialty so there’s engineering handles that…IT
and traffic institute and then they model it. So if we actually did a traffic study we would require
that, when Paisley Park changed over we wanted to see how they were going to get the traffic.
With the back up on Highway 5 so there’s specific engineers that do traffic studies. That’s their
thing.
Skistad: Okay.
Weick: And as part of this you don’t need to specify scope of that traffic study in any way in
terms of radius?
Aanenson: I think we’d leave it up to the engineering department or leave it in their, yeah each
one is unique. Yeah.
Weick: And this gives you the flexibility to be able to.
Aanenson: Correct.
Walters: Any additional questions?
Reeder: Mr. Chairman. Go ahead. Do we have to specify that a traffic study be done by
somebody in engineering or can I go out there and count cars and hand it in?
Aanenson: No. It has to be a qualified traffic study.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
10
Reeder: Do we need to see it? My other question would be, when will you be as a staff required
to tell them that they need a traffic study? Can you do it halfway through the process or is that
something you need to communicate to them at the communications meeting?
Aanenson: Well we would always try to if we feel like, that’d be up to engineering. Typically
when we have that pre-meeting that was something in the engineering department would make
that decision that they feel they need it or the planning staff together would do that. Maybe it got
up to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission said you know what we can’t move
forward. We don’t think we have enough information to make a decision. You might decide
that in order for you to make a good decision that you need that information. Maybe during the
hearing process you hear a lot of feedback from the neighborhood or the surrounding businesses
that say we’re concerned about this.
Reeder: I don’t think this does that because this says, this is part of the application.
Walters: Yep.
Reeder: So we’re saying even if the Planning Commission did go back and require more
information at the end of the application stage?
Aanenson: That’s happened. It happens on occasion sure.
Reeder: Okay.
Aanenson: You have the right to table it and that happens sometimes where you don’t have
enough information you can table it and say we want to see additional information.
Reeder: Okay and this one talks about the BCO district. Other districts are they allowed?
Walters: The, this section of the code unless I’m way off in my memory on how it’s structured is
so the site plan application has three subsections where it says if it’s in the BCO district staff can
require this. This is a separate sub item so it would apply for all districts. Not just the Bluff
Creek, the Bluff Creek Overlay District.
Reeder: I didn’t understand what you said, try again.
Walters: Yep, so if we go to the section of the code that’s being amended. I know what you’re
referring to. So Subsection 7 is within the Bluff Creek Overlay District the applicant shall
include A and B. This would be.
Reeder: Okay this is separate you’re right.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
11
Walters: Yep. Seeing no other questions, again the proposed motion for this would be
recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to Chapter 20 of the
Chanhassen City Code concerning site plan traffic impacts.
Weick: I’m just going to jump in real quick and remind commissioners. If, since we’re not
voting on these as we go, kind of take notes if there’s some, you know if there’s one of these that
you potentially you know, you could have an issue with or want to handle separately please
make a note of that so that we can take care of it when we get to the end. Thanks. Go ahead.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO ADOPT ZONING STANDARDS
FOR SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS.
Walters: So solar energy systems. Staff receives quite a few not, well last year for contacts I
talked with the building department. We believe we received about a dozen applications for roof
mounted solar energy systems. We see more every year. They’re becoming more affordable.
People are becoming more aware and interested in renewable energy. We expect we’ll continue
to see more every year so one of the things that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified is that
the City wanted to support residential and business solar development and one of the ways we
said we’d do this is by amending the City Code to address accessory solar energy systems so
staff is proposing adding a section to the code which would classify accessory solar energy
systems as a permitted use in all districts. Establish a design criteria, setback standards, a
relevant definitions and those things in order to govern their uses. Currently staff has basically
been handling the applications by determining whether or not the structure can support the
proposed solar energy array and then determining whether or not we think it’s likely to cause
nuisance glare. And if it does we approve it. This would formalize that as well as create sub-
standards for if people needed to do like a ground mounted system for example. So the proposed
ordinance would, as I mentioned, allow accessory solar energy systems as a permitted use in all
zoning districts. It would define the relevant terms. It would set a requirement that these
systems need to be accessory so what that would mean is they need to primarily provide power
for on site use. They could sell excess power back to the grid but this wouldn’t allow for
instance for a, I don’t know, a 10,000 kilowatt or whatever solar farm to go up. That’s not
envisioned by this ordinance. They would exempt cell paths for building integrated solar energy
systems with the ordinance so that’s design features you know like big southern windows to
provide natural light would tend to be things that fall into that category. The ordinance would
strongly encourage placement on roofs but if an applicant could demonstrate that due to a
structural short coming they couldn’t do roof mounted solar it would allow for accessory ground
mounted systems. These systems would have to be screened. Not cause right-of-way glare or
glare into neighboring properties and would be subject to a minimum 10 foot setback. Need to
be located in the rear yard. Would limit the height to either the accessory structure height for a
district or the building height. If they’re roof mounted again we would reiterate that they’re not
permitted to cause glare and then design standards like unobtrusive colors and blending into
buildings would be established as would permit requirements and a policy for what to do if you
know these systems become non-functional or abandoned. A way for the City to require they be
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
12
removed and recycled. I know I went through that really quick. If you have any questions I’d be
more than happy to address them.
Weick: I have a very unfair question for you.
Walters: Oh dear.
Weick: So you can say I have no idea and that’s fine. Do you have any idea the size of a solar
field or you know accessory that would be needed to power a standard, you know two story
single family?
Walters: So I can’t help, so it’s really going to depend on the size of the house. Exposures.
Weick: Yeah.
Walters: I know when I looked into it for my home, which is about 1,800 square feet split level,
they told us we could probably do it with about a, I think it was about a 500-600 square foot
would provide all.
Weick: Okay.
Walters: So now again my house has really nice southern exposure. You know so if you’ve got
a bunch of tree cover you’re going to need more, you know.
Weick: Yeah, okay. I was just curious.
Walters: But that was when we talked with so.
Weick: Okay.
Walters: For the record I don’t live in Chanhassen and I’m not passing this for my own personal
benefit.
Weick: But are you going to use solar? Because that would be really cool. Maybe you can’t
answer that. We’ll talk later. We can talk about that after the meeting.
Walters: No that was my fault. I jumped into it but.
Aanenson: So I just want to say too even though they’re permitted in this ordinance, if you were
to approve it there are a lot of HOA’s that regulate these too so not all associations are going to
permit these so just because the City allows it doesn’t mean an HOA would permit so.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
13
McGonagill: It’s more of a topical question. You know I’m just watching the news last couple
days where, I’ll tie it back to permeable pavers so you have to follow me a little bit. In the news
it was noticed, particularly I think it was the northern part of Minneapolis there were quite a few
people that were scammed by solar installers. Power installers. They came in. Put them in.
Didn’t finish them up and the citizens are left with them and the Attorney General of Minnesota
is now dealing with this and trying to sort through and find the individuals. Does the, and where
I’m going with this, does the ordinance, would it have a requirement that the installer of the solar
panels, because you’re dealing with structures. You’re dealing with electricity. There’s a lot of
stuff, be certified to be a certified installer? I use the analogy like you have with pavers. They
have to be trained.
Aanenson: Yeah, this is going to require a building permit so then you’re going to have to be
licensed so it’s not something that you, so whoever the installers would have to get a license and
that sort of thing.
McGonagill: I mean it’s up to the homeowner to decide whether the company’s viable or not.
Aanenson: Correct. Just like if you got a tree trimmer, something like that yep. They should be
licensed yep.
McGonagill: But you would have a shot to look at the installer to see if they knew what they
were doing?
Aanenson: Correct, the building department would. That’s correct.
McGonagill: Thank you.
Skistad: So if solar has a 30 year, basically it’s disposable in 30 years. So that’s what number 5,
the abandonment covers that then?
Aanenson: Yeah.
Walters: Yep it would cover that or if.
Aanenson: New owner.
Walters: The system became damaged and they didn’t want to fix it. You know we put in
clauses like that to protect ourselves. So if a neighbors complains that oh you know Jim’s solar
system has been broken for 2 years. It’s got a giant crack through it. It’s an eyesore. It clearly
doesn’t work. We make sure we have something in the code that lets us say okay, this is a
nuisance. You need to address it and oh by the way you have to recycle it and do it properly so
it’s just a way for us to protect ourselves in case something like that comes up. Most people are
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
14
going to be responsible are going to take care of it and if it’s on their roof they’ll get rid of it
when they re-roof but.
Randall: One more question. Under the required system to primarily provide power for on site
use. So these would be a non grid system?
Walters: They can be attached to the grid. We require if they do that they have an agreement
with the grid and we do have you know the provision that, I believe we have it in there that if
there is you know excess energy they can sell it back to the utility company but you know again
it has to be accessory. Or it’d have to be mostly for on site and if they provide a little extra
during peak hours and sell it back that’s, you know we’re not going to get upset.
Randall: I guess because that’s a system that I’m familiar with like down in Arizona. Everyone
is tied to the grid. You sell electricity back and then okay.
Walters: Yep.
Aanenson: The goal is I think not to sell it to your neighborhood to get a big enough system to.
Randall: Gotch ya. Okay.
Walters: Seeing no further questions, oh yep.
Reeder: Somewhere in here it prohibits large solar energy systems for utility companies. I can’t
remember where I read that but.
Aanenson: That was one I just mentioned that you’re not creating electricity for the whole
neighborhood.
Reeder: You can’t do that anywhere in the state?
Aanenson: We have solar gardens yeah.
Reeder: We’re part of somewhere?
Aanenson: Yes we do. We’re part of solar farms. There’s one down in, where the Met Council
sewer in Shakopee. Sewer treatment plant. We have a solar garden, we’re part of that.
Walters: But no portion of the city of Chanhassen is zoned to allow for that.
Aanenson: Correct.
Reeder: Say that again?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
15
Walters: No portion of the city of Chanhassen is zoned to allow for like.
Aanenson: Solar gardens.
Walters: Production level solar gardens or solar collections.
Reeder: Okay so it’s prohibited by zoning already?
Aanenson: Correct. You’d have to go further out in the county to do that correct.
Reeder: Okay. You have some language in here about trees blocking the neighborhood. How
do you, how are you going to know that if somebody puts up a solar panel in their back yard and
the guy plants a tree next door or?
Walters: That section was in the narrative and staff discussed it as one potential that could be
regulated and ultimately did not want to touch that because exactly as you said. You know if
somebody has a 100 year oak and somebody else puts a solar panel in and then says your 100
year oak is shading, we don’t want to be drug into any of that.
Reeder: Okay. And you also have a provision there that the solar panel can’t be any higher than
zoning for the building. What if you, a person has a flat roof house that’s already at the
maximum level, would you prohibit putting solar panels up there?
Walters: It does not allow for them to go above the pitch or hip. However it limits them to the
maximum height requirement for the applicable zoning district. In absolute theory if they had a
flat roof and had built to the, you know let’s say there was a 30 foot height and they built their
flat roof right up to that 30 foot height and it projected above that, this ordinance would prohibit
it. In that case I would recommend they get a variance and I think you know assuming it was
reasonably configured I think it’s likely staff would support that request. But yes that is a
potential conflict.
Reeder: Okay.
Weick: Thank you.
Walters: So again the, where this would be broken out separately a proposed motion would be
recommend that the City Council adopt a proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen
City Code concerning accessory solar energy systems.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO CORRECT TYPOGRAPHICAL
ERROR IN THE INTERIM USES STATUTE.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
16
Walters: Interim uses. So reading it over the, one of the interim use permits are permits that we
issue where they’re designed to have specific sunset clause so they’re designed to end either after
a specific amount of time, say 5 or 10 years or when something happens like municipal sewer
comes down and we expect an area to be ready for redevelopment. As it currently reads one of
the issuance standards that’s put on all interim use permits says that in order to issue one we have
to know the date of the event that will terminate the use with certainty. That sentence should
read date or event. Looks like when it was codified an F was hit instead of an R. We looked
over how we’ve traditionally structured these permits. We use clauses that are consistent with
the or being in there, not of so we recommended this typo be fixed.
Aanenson: Scribner’s error yeah.
Walters: Yep if there’s no questions this would just be recommends that the City Council
approve the amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning fixing a
typographical error in the interim use permit standards.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO RESTRICT MERCHANDISE
SOLD AT TEMPORARY AND SPECIAL EVENTS TO GOODS NORMALLY SOLD ON
SITE.
Walters: Special and temporary events. So in 2017 staff did a major overhaul and rewrite of our
temporary outdoor event ordinance. We created a couple different categories. We added,
divided outdoor events into temporary outdoor events if they’re smaller sales and then special
events which are larger and then seasonal sales permits for things like farmer stands. One of the
things staff did when we restructured it was the old ordinance had criteria for approval. Instead
we adopted criteria for denial that would give us better grounds to essentially deny a special
event permit that we felt could negatively impact the city. One of the old criteria had been that
in a temporary outdoor sale or event was limited to merchandise normally sold by the business in
question. That had come up because for a while the City had concerns with a lot of pop up
kiosk’s and like parking lot sales going on. You know for instance we were contacted once
where if the Viking’s were going to go to the Super Bowl somebody wanted to set up a t-shirt
shop in a parking lot so things like that which the City felt was not necessarily desirable. When
we did the reboot that provision was lost. One of the reasons for that was we wanted to give a
little more flexibility to special events to allow them to have things like food trucks and you
know things that weren’t normally sold. However we did leave a hole for those type of uses to
reappear so what the City’s recommending is restoring that prohibition on selling goods not
normally stocked but then having an exemption for clear accessory sales. So like food trucks or
concession sales during an open house. So the proposed criteria that would be added back in is
the sale or event proposes to sell merchandise not normally sold or stocked by the occupants of
the premise. That should be premise, not remises. Seasonal sales permits are exempted from
this requirement as the sale of goods determined to be accessory to the proposed event, food
truck or concession sales during an event or limited sale of goods as part of a charity event. So
again the goal is to prevent like pop up tent sales of extraneous merchandise while making sure
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

our local businesses can promote themselves. Can have food trucks. Can do fun events. If you
have any questions I’d be happy to address them.
Aanenson: And just give you a little more background on this. So you know I think part of the
fun of the downtown life is when there’s a lot of activity so you think about when we had the
Ryder Cup out here. There was a lot of fun stuff going on and people wanted to take advantage
of that and we want people to come here an have a good time. We had neighborhoods that did
special events because they had food trucks in their neighborhood so we were monitoring all
that. So the premise behind the special event permits is we know who to contact if there’s a
problem. Like you know we can, the sheriff’s office can go out there so they’re routed around
through the different departments making sure they’re not causing a traffic problem. So
originally when this got started we had a lot of people that would just pull up a van and open up
the door and we didn’t know who they were and so just trying to monitor that but we also want
to allow businesses and companies that do parties, if they want to have a food truck come to their
business, great. You know so there’s, we regulate them. There’s all different iterations of this
but a lot of it, like MacKenzie said there’s a little part of it that kind of fell through the crack that
we wanted to make sure that we’re not prohibiting but yet we’re regulating in a way that it’s safe
for everybody that you know we know who this vendor is. It’s not somebody that’s you know
not have met any inspections or anything like that so we just do that so it goes from parades.
Some of the school things. I mean it runs the gamut. Paisley Park does special event permits.
They’re limited to so many a year. I’m trying to think. All businesses can have up to so many
special events a year so those are all tracked on our massive spread sheet by MacKenzie but
those are the fun things that are in town and we like to, we like to have those but we just want to
make sure that we’re not over regulatory but we just kind of know what’s going on and who’s
here so. It’s seasonal sales too it kind of falls in that category too so if you know like over in
front of Lunds Byerlys they had the temporary flower garden and then we have the seasonal
sales. When I first started here I just bumped into them recently. The Dimler’s who had all the
corn huts and they were all kinds of corners. We just want to make sure that when they’re
parked the people come in. They can get in and out safely so we just have them give us a map.
Show us where they’re going to be. That they got the owner’s permission. That’s one of the
things we always ask for too. If they got the underlying owner’s permission to be there and that
it’s, you know great. You can do those seasonal sales. So that’s all part of this whole thing and I
think it’s worked pretty well. We keep making little tweaks to it. What we find out works and
what doesn’t work so.
Skistad: So if you have a graduation party and you have a food truck does that, this is not, this
doesn’t impact it? You know when you guys started talking about that I was like.
Walters: We get called about that. What we say is private residential events are private
residential events. We remind people to make sure the food truck is parked in their driveway or
on their yard you know and not obstructing traffic or anything like that but back yard weddings.
Do what you want. You know we’re very hands off in residential. This is all for corporate
entities.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
18
Skistad: So if someone wanted to have a charity event at one of the parks, this would apply for
this?
Walters: Depends on exactly what’s going on. So in some cases that’s handled through a public
gathering permit by the parks department. In other cases this ordinance comes into play so
unfortunately that’s where I’d have to ask you a lot more questions to figure out exactly what
your event was. How many people you were having. What your impact was. If you were going
to be using the trail system. You know.
Aanenson: Who’s the sponsor? Yeah, all that kind of stuff.
Skistad: I mean who would?
Aanenson: We’d start you with park and rec first.
Skistad: Okay.
Aanenson: Because you’re using public property so they would be the ones to decide that, yeah.
Skistad: Okay.
Tietz: So if we had a, let’s say in the Byerlys, out in front of Byerlys, some folks from Cancer
Society came and they wanted to have a pop up to sell shirts and do a fundraiser. Can they do
that?
Aanenson: Well they’d have to get Byerlys permission first.
Walters: If Byerlys wanted to sponsor.
Tietz: But it’s not part of Byerlys business.
Walters: No but what we would say in that, so that’s where this exemption I put in there because
that’s why an issue we get that flexibility but we said you know in this case it was accessory to
the proposed event. So what we’d say here is, the proposed event is a charity awareness thing
for American Cancer Society say. And as part of their charity event for American Cancer
Society they may be selling some t-shirts. Some mugs. Some you know have a silent auction.
That’s accessory to the goal of you know doing this like customer give back event. That’s what
we’re promoting. The sale of goods is accessory to that. So we would you know for a charity
event take a very liberal interpretation. Where we’d take stricter interpretations as far as you
know okay I’ve got a business and I’m literally renting out my parking lot every weekend to
different other entities so they can sell stuff in my parking lot just so I can get a cut of it. That’s
where we’d say no, that’s not the intent of this ordinance.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
19
Skistad: So when you have this ordinance then you would go to the City and you would, is there
a fee that goes with it?
Walters: There is a relatively modest fee. The temporary outdoor event permit is a $50 fee.
Special event permits are $100 fee. Those tend to be larger events where we anticipate it’s
actually going to impact the community, you know the street system, etcetera.
McGonagill: So it’s special use or the special permit would resemble, take Jon’s example. Not
the Cancer Society but a high school club wants to do a car wash which we typically can see in
the summer. Same thing. They would have to come and get some sort of permission from the
owner.
Aanenson: Correct.
Walters: Yeah.
McGonagill: Like for example Youngstedt’s down there. Somebody wanted to do that. That’s
really the process that you’d follow.
Walters: Yeah.
Aanenson: It kind of goes beyond the scope. Again lots of times I would say the Fire Marshal
and the sheriff’s office are kind of the key people that want to know kind of what’s going on.
Again if they’re blocking you know we’ve had special events where helium balloons got really
close to high tension power lines and there’s just, so just so there’s a contact there. That’s a lot
of what this is involved in too if like there’s a problem going beyond the noise or traffic’s backed
up where you can get a hold of somebody and try to solve the problem so.
Tietz: So if I went to Youngstedt’s or I went to Byerlys and I said I want to do a car wash or I
want to do a pop up for a fundraiser for a non-profit, how do they know they have to come to the
City to get a permit?
Aanenson: Because they’re limited in their permits.
Tietz: Pardon?
Aanenson: They know because they work with us regularly so all the businesses are aware of
that.
Tietz: All the property owners do, know that?
Aanenson: Yep, yep yep.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
20
Tietz: But how do I know that and now I want to do it on.
Aanenson: You’d talk to the General Manager and they would know that they need to contact
us.
Skistad: And so then your high school car wash would already be $50 bucks in the hole.
Tietz: Before they even start.
Skistad: Before you even start.
Walters: And I will point out too we have been proactive and friendly at informing, you know
when we noticed events that weren’t permitted we generally send a pretty friendly letter saying
hey in the future just so you know this is the ordinance. Please contact us ahead of time. So we
have done education on this with our local businesses.
Skistad: I think I lost track on what this ordinance is doing.
Walters: Yeah this, what we’re doing, all we’re doing here is so the temporary event ordinance
exists. It’s been working pretty well for a couple years. All this is doing is when we redid the
ordinance we didn’t include a provision that we realized we should have and we’re, we would
like to re-include a provision limiting temporary outdoor events to selling goods and
merchandise that normally sold by that business. With an exemption allowing you know food
trucks and some other fun accessory sales to go on beyond what’s normally there, if that makes
sense.
Walters: Other questions? Comments. Seeing none, so again were this to be separated out the
motion would be recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter 20
of the Chanhassen City Code concerning allowable merchandise at temporary and special events.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO ADOPT MINIMUM DRIVEWAY
CONFIGURATION STANDARDS.
Walters: Driveway configurations. So the City’s had a couple ongoing issues with driveways. I
broke it out into three general concerns that we’re going to try to address. As it’s currently
written the driveway ordinance requires a 10 foot side yard setback for the first 20 feet of
driveway length from the street towards the garage. However since that requirement was
adopted the City created zoning districts that only have a 5 foot garage side setback. I’ve got
some graphics that will help explain but that leads to some very unworkable driveway
configurations being required by code. So we’d like to make it so that the driveway setback is
the zoning district setback instead of an arbitrary 10 across all zoning districts. Another issue
we’ve had is in order to reduce lot cover, usually when builders want to put a very large house on
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
21
with a very large, you know 3 or 4 car driveway and they’re told they’re over their property’s
maximum impervious surface. The first thing they do rather than make the house smaller or lose
the sunroom is they just take a big chunk out of the driveway and we’ve had a few proposed
driveways that were completely unworkable. So again I have a graphic to show you an example
of one of these. So what we’d like to do is establish some minimum standards for how the
driveway should be configured. We looked at how we require parking lot sizes and we’re
proposing that the similar to how we require parking stalls to be 18 feet deep, the driveway
should be 18 feet going straight out from the garage door before it begins to taper off. The other
thing is, this section of the code has been amended 7 times since 2001. Every time it’s been
amended a new sub-section’s been added. Not necessarily with regards to whether or not there
was similar material earlier in the code. So I believe I’m proposing dropping it from something
like 11 sub-sections down to 6 and just getting it so they’re all in one place and a lot easier for
builders to navigate. So first point I was talking about, so this red is what we would require the
driveway to be set back. This is one of our RLM houses so residential low and medium density.
They’re allowed to be 5 feet from the side lot line. You know as you can see here this is about a
7 foot distance and it already has to, in order to meet city standards it would have to cut that
sharply. There’s no way you’d be able to actually maneuver a car there on your driveway. So
what we have to do in these situations is the City Engineer has to sign a letter exempting them
from the standards every time for every house within the zoning district. It doesn’t make a lot of
sense so we’re proposing that the setback would then meet the district setback. So if we pass a
PUD with a 7 ½ foot side yard setback like The Park development, that would be your driveway
setback. If it has a 5 foot, that becomes your driveway setback. If it’s a 10 foot then the existing
language would apply and it’d be a 10 foot because that’s what it’s been graded and designed for
for the snow storage and things like that. So that’s our proposal for that.
Skistad: So does that change any existing, does that affect any existing properties?
Walters: Most of the properties that needed this got the letter of exemption from the engineering
department but if there are any out there in an older subdivision that have a legal non-conforming
driveway where just you know because there’s no other way to do it they put it there and didn’t
tell us it would grant standing to that because they would now comply to code. But it shouldn’t,
I mean other than legitimizing driveways that meet their district setback but not that requirement
it shouldn’t change anything. Going forward it just means the City Engineer will have to sign a
lot less letters. So this is an example of one where the driveway was trunucated to, truncated
thank you. To reduce the lot cover so about 11 feet in here it begins cutting and about 14 feet
here it begins cutting in kind of a Coke bottle shape to go down to the minimum, they’re allowed
10 feet. The property was built at 24.99 percent lot cover. I got a call from the new homeowners
about a week after saying gee we love the house but that driveway’s you know, we can’t get our
cars in. It’s really, really difficult to maneuver. What are our options? And I had to tell them
well you’re at your maximum lot cover. You don’t have options. You know you can apply for a
variance and so this is a situation where we would like to try to protect potential buyers from
builders over building lots and cutting lot cover where it shouldn’t be covered. The other thing
that will happen in these situations is they’ll, we’re informed they’re going to do a smaller
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
22
footprint and then when the crews get out there to pour concrete they pour the giant driveway
that actually works and then we have to do after the fact enforcement and then we’re going after
the poor homeowners who have taken ownership of the property and it’s now their problem even
though they didn’t do anything wrong which is a rough way to welcome someone to the city. So
we’re hoping to protect citizens from that type of thing so what we’d propose is that they be
required to go out 18 feet from the garage doors before they begin tapering and that will be
enough to provide required parking in front of the drive garage and then easy maneuvering in
and out of the stalls. So that’s the rationale there.
Tietz: Shouldn’t new construction that be picked up when they pull the permit? I mean we
avoid that.
Walters: Yeah we do and I’ve argued til I’m blue in my face. If I don’t have anything in
ordinance telling them that they have to do it I don’t have the authority.
Tietz: Well it’s a cover issue…
Aanenson: It’s a field change.
Walters: Yeah.
Tietz: So this theoretically shouldn’t have happened.
Walters: Right but sometimes folks do what they shouldn’t do. You know we’ve had people,
sometimes the builder doesn’t communicate to the contractor and they just, or they look at it and
this is where that homeowner says no pour it here or the builder says pour it here.
Tietz: But is it red flagged at occupancy?
Walters: We don’t, we find it at the as built but by that time sometimes the builder’s gone and
then it’s, it’s a big fight. It’s not easy to do after the fact enforcement once it’s poured in.
Tietz: Well we just approved pervious pavers too.
Walters: Yep. I hear what you’re saying in practice it’s challenging to do enforcement on these.
Tietz: Well isn’t a plan approved or a plan built and would, if someone came in with a plan like
this to the City wouldn’t you say well yeah you meet code but you can’t, you can’t get into your
garage so I’m sorry so here are the options that you have.
Aanenson: Let’s be clear. The plan wasn’t approved this way. People make changes in the field
and if you put an escrow down for $1,500 people walk from that every day. They don’t care.
You can have the money. We’re not moving our driveway because it’s more expensive.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
23
Tietz: But we have to protect the homeowner.
Randall: But having the 18 feet would…requirement so then it’s like well here’s what you have
to do. You have to figure it out from there.
Aanenson: Right.
Randall: You know what I mean?
Aanenson: Yeah. It solves that problem but there’s a lot of other that it’s not going to solve and
there’s a bigger problem with people making field changes and yeah, it’s problematic so.
Tietz: I guess we should be in the business of protecting the homeowner, not protecting.
Aanenson: The homeowner’s the one that’s making the changes.
Tietz: Well but what if the contractor did it because that was, he just decided to do it this way
even though he got a plan approved and he’s at 25 percent coverage and he just said well I’m
going to make this a better driveway…do that all the time. They do that all the time.
Walters: It’s a minority.
Aanenson: I would say this one is a small, small minority. This isn’t the most egregious ones.
The ones are where the homeowner says hey, can you make the driveway wider.
Tietz: So is Lennar going to make, meet all the standards for 169 lots?
Aanenson: Yeah. I mean we check each one. Yeah.
Tietz: You check the plan but now who’s going to enforce the plan?
Aanenson: We are. I mean we take security in all those. Yep.
Tietz: But okay.
Aanenson: People leave security sitting here because they would rather just you know, and then
go to litigation so you know we’re trying to push it so we have at least a minimum standard for
the driveway approach.
Walters: Yeah this gives, this gives a staff member during permit review additional ability not to
issue a permit unless there’s been a design that we know will accommodate minimum functional
driveway things, and we spell out what that is so we don’t have to argue with the contractor
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
24
saying no, no, no this works. Because we can sell well you may think it works but it doesn’t
meet standards so this is our, we’re hoping this will reduce the amount of after the fact
enforcement we have to do and we think it will give us a legal fall back for denying permits that
do not meet minimum standards.
McGonagill: So basically what you’re trying to do is create a situation where you’re not forcing
them to do something wrong. In other words you set down a standard. Put it at 18 foot. And
because if it doesn’t work they will change it in the field.
Walters: Yep that’s a good way to put it. Yeah.
Aanenson: Or what a lot of them will do is come back and ask for a variance. Or pervious
pavers or the like. Yep.
Reeder: Does anybody actually look at that driveway before they are approved?
Walters: Yes and they need to have an as built survey as well which you know shows exactly
the configuration that was poured. Where everything is but all we have hanging on the as built is
a $1,500 escrow and if you’re looking at a million dollar house, yeah you’ll walk away from a
$1,500 escrow.
Reeder: You’re saying they just don’t submit it?
Walters: Yeah they we have as builts that we’ve been trying to get submitted for oh 8, 9, 10
years and they won’t do it because they know they can’t meet it and it’s just $1,500. So it’s,
there’s no perfect solution we can do. We think this puts us in a better position. So just in terms
of the changes made to the ordinance. As I mentioned, oh my numbers were a little off. We
were reducing it from 13 down to 6 sub-sections. We’re trying to place all related provisions
under a single sub-section so everything under, everything dealing with driveway setbacks would
go under one setback sub-section instead of being spread out over 3 or 4. Some provisions were
rephrased to hopefully increase clarity. Substantive ones I went over in the earlier discussion. If
there’s any additional questions I’d be happy to respond.
McGonagill: How come you had permeable pavers in a driveway? Can you do that?
Walters: Yep you can use permeable pavers for driveways.
McGonagill: I misunderstood the third statement then. Yeah okay.
Walters: Yep they would be considered a hard surface material, yep.
Reeder: In 6(b), what is a zoning permit?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
25
Walters: Yep glad you asked. So we have two types of permits that we do in terms of house
construction. We have building permits which are covered by the State Building Code so that’d
be you know an addition. A deck attached to a house. A 400 square foot shed, things like that.
However there’s a lot of things that folks like to put on their property that isn’t covered by the
State Building Code. So for instance sheds under 200 square feet are not covered by the State
Building Code. Detached decks under 36 inches in height are not covered by the State Building
Code. Patios, not covered by the State Building Code and concrete surfaces are not either so the
City has a zoning permit which we use to evaluate those type of improvements and it’s a way
that the City can use to check and make sure they’re being placed in line with the zoning code
setbacks and then also with lot cover requirements. So we created zoning permits so that we
would require them to submit plans for a driveway so we can evaluate to see whether or not they
were going over their hard cover.
Reeder: So you have an application process and a permit for zoning.
Aanenson: Yeah and also just make sure they’re not in a drainage easement or something like
that or they’re not encroaching into where there’s other easements for structures.
Reeder: Okay.
Walters: Seeing no further questions, were this one to be taken separately the motion would be
the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to
Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning driveways.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO REQUIRE SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES TO HAVE WALKWAYS AND CONCRETE PADS FOR STAIRS AND
LANDINGS.
Walters: So this is another looking to protect homeowners. This is requiring walkways and
pads. So currently neither the city code or building code requires single family homes to have
walkways connecting driveway to the front entrance or a concrete pads for stairs or landings or
access doors. We do have a clause in the city code requiring that doors from the dwelling to the
outdoor, so like rear patio doors be assumed to have a 10 by 10 square foot, 10 by 10 patio and
that was done in response to issues where again properties are built up to the lot cover. They put
a patio door there. Nothing else and then the homeowners will be shocked when they found out
they couldn’t add a patio. So we built in a required assumption of a 10 by 10 patio to address
that issue and it’s been pretty successful. We see a lot of similar issues with walkways
connecting driveways to front doors and not having concrete stoops outside of deck landings. So
we’d like to add these as requirements as well.
Aanenson: So this kind of goes back to that part where you’re at your maximum hard cover. I’ll
just cut out my front sidewalk. We deem that unacceptable. You know you can’t have guests go
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
26
to your front door without having a sidewalk so that’s been asked numerous times so it’s easier
for us to be able to go to the code and say no this is a required thing.
Walters: Yep and again similar to with driveways. You know what we have here is okay so the,
the building plan comes in and they remove the sidewalk. Alright. There’s nothing in the code
saying the have to have it which means we have to issue the permit. Well you know the house
gets built. CO is given. As-built’s done and the they have a landscaper come in and well just
pour a sidewalk and so then 2, 3, 4, 5 years later we discover the property’s 200 square feet over
because the sidewalk’s been added in. It’s just a way again to instead of having to do after the
fact enforcement a way to guarantee that these things are accounted for and that the property’s
being designed to be able to accommodate common sense things like a walkway. Like a pad
outside your garage access door. Things of that nature. So the proposed language would be
when the main entrance does not connect directly to a driveway a walkway at least 4 feet in
width connecting the driveway to main entrance shall be assumed, must meet all code
requirements and then a landing not less than 3 feet deep shall be shown the width of any
exterior stairs or proposed access doors unless that patio I mentioned earlier is already required.
And again it would have to be shown to meet all requirements of the zoning code.
Reeder: Why do you say assume instead of built?
Walters: We’ve always allowed them to say for the patio proposed and then allow the
homeowner to you know reconfigure or install it later. The main thing is making sure there’s
enough lot cover on the property to accommodate the use.
Reeder: Yeah I was more thinking of the walkway.
Walters: That’s certainly something we could compel. We’re compelling it to be shown
technically he is correct that they could put proposed walkway and it would meet the
requirements. We can amend this to remove say shall be constructed instead of shall be
assumed.
Reeder: Makes more sense to me. And the other question I had on the second one was, the
landing shall be not less than 3 feet deep. 3 feet deep?
Walters: Depth. Well is depth is typically what we would use.
McGonagill: And again this can be any impervious. It can be different type of surfaces.
Walters: Yep.
McGonagill: It could be.
Aanenson: A paver.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
27
McGonagill: A paver or concrete or.
Aanenson: So the Chair, you can do an omnibus motion, I don’t know if you want to talk
amongst yourselves…
McGonagill: But it can’t be, can it be people putting gutters and putting in woodchips? For a
sidewalk.
Walters: It does not say it has to be bituminous or improved so if they wanted to do you know
for instance like a.
Aanenson: I don’t think the, typically for fire code they don’t accept that. The woodchip’s not
going to, you can’t really shovel woodchips from your driveway to your front door. It’d be hard
to shovel.
McGonagill: What about gravel or rock? Well how do you deny them?
Walters: We’d have to amend it to say bituminous or improved surface.
McGonagill: I would just suggest that.
Skistad: Have you seen those? I think it’s in Minnesota or you just see this front door,
sidewalks go to the yard. You’re like why? It goes halfway into the yard and that’s it.
Aanenson: So what I’m hearing is that you want to…that it be improved surface. Yeah.
McGonagill: I would suggest that.
Aanenson: Yeah.
McGonagill: What you’re going to is the fact that it should be able to be shoveled and cleared.
Aanenson: Correct.
McGonagill: And that makes total sense. You know people with delivery truck drivers and
Amazon and all that, they’re doing that all the time. You need to provide access.
Aanenson: And most people when they move into their home if it’s not there that’s the first
thing they’re going to ask for. You know or just do it.
McGonagill: Or they’ll be told that when they’re buying it oh you can put one of those in.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
28
Aanenson: Right, yeah.
McGonagill: That’s the comment.
Aanenson: And it’s the problem when they’re already at the max. You know where it becomes
a problem is they take it off so they can meet their hard cover. And it’s kind of, go back and do
it.
Skistad: Is the hard cover, is that a State mandate? Or is that just a Chanhassen arbitrary
amount?
Walters: A little of both. So within the shoreland overlay district the DNR requires the 25
percent lot cover. Outside of that different communities establish their own lot cover. Generally
they tend to not stray too terrible far from that but communities do look at like what type of soil
they have. What type of storm water infrastructure. What they’re getting in return so for
instance RLM District we allow to have 35 percent lot cover because we require the permanent
preservation of large amounts of open space so we feel that offsets it. So every community is
different but there is a rationale. It isn’t a number pulled out of a hat.
Skistad: And RLM again is?
Walters: Residential Low and Medium District. So that’s like the Foxwood development would
be a good example. They donated you know that large Fox Wood Preserve to be a permanent
park and forest in exchange instead of holding them to the 25 percent lot cover, they were
allowed 35 percent.
Aanenson: And that’s just residential. Commercial districts have different standards. Yeah,
much more hard cover. Yep. So again that ties into our whole Comprehensive Plan of how we
manage storm water and then it’d be approved by the different watershed districts so that’s what
we’ve been operating on for a number of years.
Weick: Would we be able to make those changes and still vote on this one?
Aanenson: Oh yeah.
Walters: Yes.
Aanenson: Yeah I would say if you want to we can clarify that one and make that motion with
the language change.
Weick: Okay.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
29
Walters: Yeah I would perhaps suggest just treating the walkways and pads as a separate item
just so we can specifically get amendments. And then keeping the rest as a omnibus.
Weick: Yep.
Walters: So we will work through that motion at the end I believe.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO ADOPT AIRPORT ZONING
STANDARDS.
Walters: Airport zoning standards. So Chanhassen is required by state law to administer the
Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance. In order to be able to administer and enforce it the City
has to adopt it into the city code. The most efficient way for us to do that is to establish an
airport zoning overlay district and then just adopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by
reference as additional standards for any property within it. So just so you have a little bit of an
idea of how much of the city we’re talking about, this is the section of the city within the Flying
Cloud Airport zoning boundaries. So we’d be creating an overlay district here. These are all
residential properties. The airport zoning ordinance doesn’t kick in until I believe 240 feet of
height. We don’t allow anything practically speaking in the residential district that gets
anywhere close to that. It’s very unlikely this provision would ever come up but we are required
by state law to adopt it in order to be able to enforce it.
Aanenson: That’s Lake Riley by the way.
Walters: Oh sorry yep. Lake Riley here. So if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer
them. If not the.
Weick: Okay?
Walters: Yeah the proposed motion would be the Chanhassen Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council adopt a proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen
City Code concerning establishing an airport zoning overlay district.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO BAN THE KEEPNG OF BIRDS
OF PREY.
Walters: Birds of prey. So in 2009 the City did a big overhaul of it’s animal keeping ordinance
and one of the things that happened was an addition to classifying you know, creating a farm
animal definition and limiting them to properties of 10 acres. Wild animals and birds of prey
were intended to be banned from the city. We’re not exactly sure why the City Council and
Planning Commission passed an ordinance that did include language banning the keeping of
birds of prey. Somehow it did not make it to codification. The definition did and the provision
on wild animals did. Whether something was deleted or missed I couldn’t tell you but it should
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
30
have been in there in 2009. It wasn’t. Staff discovered it and so we’re proposing we rectify tat
error. If anyone has any questions. The proposed amendment would be that the Planning
Commission recommends the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to Chapter 20 of the
Chanhassen City Code concerning the keeping of birds of prey.
Skistad: I guess I just wasn’t sure we even need to have that. I mean it seems excessive.
Aanenson: We have had requests.
Skistad: Really?
Aanenson: Yeah.
Walters: So legally speaking because the falconing permits are handled by the DNR, if we don’t
have a local prohibition an individual who was a licensed falconer with the State of Minnesota
would have every right to have a, what’s the mew? Is that the word? There’s a special word for
an area where birds of prey are kept but they would legally have the right to do so and we don’t
feel that’d be particularly compatible with other residential uses.
Skistad: Why?
Walters: One of the big concerns we have is the birds of prey are predators by nature. Were one
to escape small dogs are certainly on the menu as are other, you know cats and other animals. In
addition many smaller household pets have a strong fear reaction to like the calls and sight of
birds of prey so again it would be disruptive to other animals traditionally kept in that context.
Skistad: I guess I just saw a bald eagle literally in the tree in my back yard like this past week so
like there’s your bird of prey. I mean we already have birds of prey all over the place so.
Reeder: You’re in trouble.
Skistad: The bald eagle and I’ve seen hawks and I have owls back there and turkeys and who
knows what else.
Walters: And we have received calls from residents saying there’s a hawk menacing my small
dog. We want the City to help us out. That’s not something we can address but we get those
calls more often than you think and again if there were a larger concentration continuing in the
same area we’re certainly concerned that that could be an issue.
Aanenson: It can be left in if you want to leave it in. Yeah it’s up to you.
Skistad: Well I mean I.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
31
McGonagill: These are domesticated birds. The ones that are pets or something like that but
wild animals really do…
Walters: Yeah.
Aanenson: Yep.
Skistad: So you’re allowed to get one but you can’t keep it anywhere. So you can be, you can
be approved. You can be approved to have one but you can’t have one anywhere. You can be
trained to have one but you can’t keep it anywhere in the state of Minnesota.
Walters: I think there’s places in the state you probably can but.
Tietz: It’s a sport. I mean.
Aanenson: Yeah, falconers. Yeah.
Tietz: I’ve known falconers that train their, they use them for pheasant hunting and gross
hunting. So it’s a sport. You know we’re now saying that that individual cannot house that
critter in Chanhassen.
Skistad: I guess I’m not going to vote for that. I’m just not going to. I don’t think we need
excessive ordinances.
Weick: It’s not the only thing we regulate though.
Skistad: I know. I understand that.
Weick: We regulate horses and bees.
Skistad: Not that I want to have one, because I don’t have any interest in that at all but.
Aanenson: We’ll make that a separate. That and driveway one.
Walters: Right if there’s no further questions. So this one would be treated separately. We’ll
return to it and the motion would be recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed
amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning the keeping of birds of prey.
AMENDMENT TO CHANHASSEN CITY CODE TO REMOVE OBSOLETE PARKING
LOT CONFIGURATION GRAPHICS.
Walters: Last item today is we found a parking lot graphic in the City’s parking lot design
standards. In 2004 the City altered their parking lot design standards and changed the minimum
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
32
parking stall and drive aisle width required for parking lots. However there was a clarifying
graphic that was overlooked so while the text and tables of the ordinance were adjusted to reflect
the new requirement, this graphic was not and continued to list the old dimensions. We received
a parking lot application that used the dimensions from the graphic and had to get an opinion
from the City Attorney as to which took precedence. We were advised that the most recent
standards so the written standard prevailed but we were also strongly advised to clean this up and
avoid any further confusion. So the section in question is this is the table which has the correct
numbers. It requires for 45 degree stalls a minimum of a 15 foot aisle and the old graphic lists
13.5 feet. Now additionally we now require 9 foot stall width and the confusing graphic shows
an 8.5 foot stall width which was the old standard. So our proposal would be just to delete the
old graphic and remove the source of confusion. If there’s any questions I would be happy to
take them at this time.
Weick: Questions or comments? Looks good.
Walters: Seeing none the proposed motion for that again were it be done separately would be
recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the
Chanhassen City Code concerning parking stall and drive aisle standards. So if it pleases the
change what I think might be best is if we did separate public hearings and motions for the
sidewalk and concrete pad item and the bird of prey item and then handle the rest as a group.
Aanenson: What I would recommend in your motion, I would them as you’ve got listed here.
You know items 1 through, which ones, what numbers are we pulling out?
Walters: I believe we’d be pulling out items.
Skistad: 8 and 10.
Walters: Thank you.
Aanenson: Perfect, there you go. So pull out 8 and 10 so one motion would be everything
excluding 8 and 10 and then we’d vote on those separately.
Skistad: Can I just ask one more question on 6. So do we have high school car washes now that
we allow to go on and they have to get permission?
Aanenson: They’ve never been asked for. We’ve never been asked.
Skistad: Alright.
Aanenson: So that would be up to Lunds and Byerlys or Cub to ask.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
33
Skistad: I’m just trying to remember if I’ve seen one in Chan. I feel like I have seen one but I
don’t know if it was Chan or if it was in Eden Prairie.
Aanenson: A lot of it has to be, yeah they’re in Minnetonka all the time sure.
Tietz: Cheerleaders or somebody has one all the time in the summer in Minnetonka and Eden
Prairie I’ve seen them frequently.
Aanenson: A lot of it has to do with the underlying…whether they want that use there.
Skistad: I don’t know if we’re discouraging you know the schools or clubs from doing
something by having a $50 fee.
Walters: I would, sorry go on.
Skistad: So that’s, you know that’s what I would. I mean I get it from a business perspective but
from a charity perspective that bothers me.
Walters: Understood. Just to be clear the proposed amendment would not in any way, shape or
form affect that fee or the permitting requirements. This is you know narrowly tailored to
commercial goods being sold in a specific instance so.
McGonagill: You’re not going back and changing the fundamental foundation of the.
Aanenson: No we’d have to re-notice the hearing.
McGonagill: This is just particularly, you can’t sell other type of goods.
Walters: Correct.
Aanenson: Yes
Skistad: Okay.
McGonagill: So, and thanks for asking the question because we did get into that discussion and
really that discussion I guess was…
Aanenson: There are all kinds of other school activities that go through the City. Fun walks.
Almost every school does a fun walk and those are you monitored through the City. Things like
that. I’m trying to think of some other things where they use the parks so yeah.
Skistad: So they have like a separate agreement or something?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
34
Aanenson: Yeah, yes.
Skistad: Okay. Alright. That was just my hang up on that one.
Weick: For the, they all sort of had similar approval wording didn’t they?
Walters: Yep. So what I would recommend is opening a public hearing for items, yeah for all of
the items and then we can sort out the motions.
Weick: We’ll do that right now. So at this time we would open the public hearing for input,
inviting anyone present to come forward and offer an opinion on any amendments we’ve
discussed this evening. Seeing nobody come forward I will close the public hearing portion of
tonight’s meeting and open for commissioner discussion. Comments and/or motions.
Tietz: Steve I still, sorry but I’m still this driveway issue still bothers me because if you say it’s
20 feet out, someone has a 3 car garage so now we’re, what’s that at least 35-40 feet? You know
it’s 20 feet out so there’s 800 square feet. I mean you’d be over with your example MacKenzie
they could be over their allowed coverage by hanging them go 20 feet out and 40 foot wide
because they’ve got a 3 car garage front. So isn’t that going to get picked up or shouldn’t that
get picked up in the permitting process?
Walters: That would be if they were over their lot coverage.
Tietz: Well yeah I mean so now, but we’re recommending that they do that which is potentially
throwing them over the coverage.
Aanenson: Well the challenge is.
Tietz: I mean they’d have to reduce the size of their house or take off the patio or take off the
screened porch or do something.
Aanenson: There’s only so much house you can put on a lot.
Tietz: Oh I know that but I’m not sure that this solves.
Walters: I will say that in my experience many of the houses, and I sign off on every residential
home permit that comes through the City of Chanhassen. Most of these properties with 3 car
garages are proposing 1,200 plus square foot driveways and making it work along with a very
nice footprint for the house. You know this is, it’s very atypical that they don’t provide at least
that 18 feet before they begin tapering and it usually is when they’ve severely over built the
property.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
35
Aanenson: And I would say most of the builders that we have, regular builders those aren’t the
problem ones.
Tietz: It’s the one off’s.
Aanenson: It’s the one off’s correct that may be building it for somebody in particular or
building a spec home and for people that are here all the time you build that relationship and so I
mean a product that’s more flexible and less flexible when you’re installing certain types of
homes and they’re pretty standard of what, they know what they can do right.
Tietz: Just get closer to the road and you eliminate some of the problems.
Aanenson: Well that, and well in some of those we have done that in the PUD’s but I think it’s
the one off’s where you have somebody doing a spec home and then they think well if I add this
and this it’s going to help it move. You know the screened porch and all that and then they’re
over the cover and then who ends up on the down side of that is the future homeowner and as
MacKenzie said we want people to feel welcomed here. We don’t want to say hey, now you’re
in Chanhassen. Welcome to.
Tietz: And we talked about that Kate several months ago.
Aanenson: Yep.
Tietz: Making sure that someone doesn’t sell something that’s at 99 percent of the coverage and
someone can’t even put in a walk to their patio.
Aanenson: Right exactly and that’s the problem.
Tietz: Okay.
Skistad: So is there another change to that requirement that would make you feel better about it?
Tietz: Well I think it’s probably covered. I just was in my head I was trying to do the math
based upon what MacKenzie had drawn up and it just seemed like there’s going to be a huge pad
in front of that 3 car garage and that’s going to put, potentially put people right to the limit but if
we, if we’re in the permitting process we’re calling them on that and if it’s the, you know if John
Tietz decides to push it out another 8 feet on that side and after it’s been approved and a
contractor does it then I’m going to either get, I’m either going to get penalized at some point or
I’m going to skate under the radar until I sell the house and the next owner tries to put something
else in and then they’re way over the limit. You know that’s what Kate has kind of explained.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
36
Aanenson: Well you know we’ve had situations where people have done the work like that
without a permit and added on and sell the house and then maybe one person has left and take
the job find out they’re non-conforming and we’ve had people in here pretty teary eyed.
Tietz: Well we did that, wasn’t about year a half or two years ago Kate right down past old St.
Hubert’s, the house that had a gravel expansion on the side lot and they were going to take part
because it was really a tight site and they were going to sell the house and we made them take the
gravel driveway, the parking area out because it exceeded what was allowable. I mean that was
that 2 years ago?
Aanenson: Yeah so those, a lot of different, again those are the one off’s. You know I’d say 95
percent there’s not a problem because we have you know the builders that are here they have a
subdivision so they work through all those. It’s the one off. We do have a few people that want,
you know I want what I want and.
McGonagill: Yeah but what you’re doing by the ordinance is signaling your expectations.
Aanenson: Correct.
McGonagill: You know this is my expectation and so you try to go crossways we are going to
have an issue instead of, in other words you’re not trying to set them up again to do something
wrong. Here’s the way it has to be to be right. I get that.
Aanenson: Just to clarify we’re looking for 3 motions. We’ll vote on 8 and 9 separately and
then MacKenzie’s got them laid out here. We’ll do 7, 9, 11 and 12 and then you’ll take. I
thought it was 8 and 9.
Skistad: 8 and 10.
MacKenzie 8 and 10 separately I believe.
Skistad: Yeah. Okay.
McGonagill: If you’d like to proceed Mr. Chairman.
Weick: Yeah if there’s no other comments we could certainly consider a motion.
McGonagill: For 1 through 7?
Weick: (Yes).
McGonagill: I’ll propose a motion.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
37
Weick: That would be wonderful.
McGonagill: I propose the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends the City Council
adopts the proposed amendments for items 1 through 7 and I guess item 9, 11 and 12 Chapter 20
of the Chanhassen City Code.
Weick: However.
Aanenson: Well we can just vote on the other two separately.
Weick: I don’t think we have a 12.
Skistad: 11.
Walters: No you’re right we don’t.
Aanenson: Thank you.
McGonagill: Sorry. I’ll read it again.
Weick: Thank you.
McGonagill: Mr. Chairman I propose the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that
the Chanhassen, that the City Council adopts the proposed amendments for items 1 through 7, 9
and 11 of Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code.
Weick: We have a valid motion. Do we have a second?
Reeder: Second.
Weick: We have a second from Commissioner Reeder. Any comments before we vote?
McGonagill moved, Reeder seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission
recommends that the Chanhassen City Council adopts the proposed amendments for items
1 through 7, 9 and 11 of Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code. All voted in favor and
the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
Weick: The motion passes unanimously 6 to 0.
Walters: Alright I think we’ll take them in the order they appear. So the next item would be
item 8. Amendments for the proposal to require walkways and pads.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
38
Weick: And there were 3 things I think that we were looking at. Yes we wanted to, probably
working backwards one was the surface. Including the surface.
McGonagill: Hard surface yeah.
Weick: And then there’s two language.
Walters: Yeah there was a clarification that staff did not mean deep but depth.
Weick: Okay and I don’t know how you.
Walters: I’ll figure it out.
Weick: And then the other one was in the first bullet where the main entrance shall be assumed.
You wanted to change assumed to constructed or built or.
Walters: I would say a walkway at least 4 feet in width connecting the driveway and main entry
shall be required.
Weick: Required.
Walters: And that requirement to be bituminous or improved surface similar to.
McGonagill: The driveway.
Walters: So I believe for the proposed motion you could say recommends that the City Council
adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning
sidewalks and pads with the correction, with the language suggested by the Planning
Commission or something to that effect.
Aanenson: …change online.
Walters: The motion I can. I can’t change the ordinance language on the fly.
Weick: We can say with.
Aanenson: Yeah you can.
Weick: With changes.
Reeder: As amended.
Walters: Thank you. Perfect.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
39
Weick: Comments on this before we consider a motion. I think we’ve sort of talked it through.
I think it makes sense. Those are awesome suggestions I think.
McGonagill: Makes a lot of sense…
Weick: So with that I certainly would accept a motion. Anyone so desires?
Randall: I’ll make a motion. Proposed motion, the Chanhassen Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter of the Chanhassen
City Code concerning sidewalks and concrete pads as amended.
Weick: We have a valid motion from Commissioner Randall. Do we have a second?
Reeder: Second.
Weick: We have a second from Commissioner Reeder. Comments on this motion.
Randall moved, Reeder seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends
that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter of the Chanhassen City
Code concerning sidewalks and concrete pads as amended. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
Weick: This amended motion passes unanimously 6 to 0.
Walters: And then the next item would be item number 10, birds of prey which I will get to in a
moment. There we are.
Tietz: So would birds of prey be just caged critters like having panthers and cougars and stuff in
your back. You can’t do that but if it’s a sport, if it’s a hunting sport and a bird of prey, a falcon
is used for hunting purposes why would that not be allowable if it’s caged properly? Housed
properly. Fed. There’s a difference in my mind there’s a difference between more or less a, I
don’t want to call it domesticated but an animal that’s used for a specific purpose as opposed to a
menagerie in your back yard.
Weick: I’m not sure you can, you can’t house a bird of prey inside can you?
Tietz: Sure.
Randall: Can I have some input on this?
Weick: Yeah.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
40
Randall: I looked at the DNR website an a recent article in May of 2019 it talked about a person
that has one of these and there’s a picture and him and his family watching TV with the bird of
prey. So basically it’s heavily regulated by the Federal government and the DNR. They have to
be sponsored to even have the bird. They have to go through an apprentice process. Testing and
all these type of things to be a full falconer. So my thought on it is that with all the standards of
being able to participate in the sport that those type of people are going to be properly well suited
to have this type of bird in their home. That’s just my thought on it. And I don’t know, sorry
probably wasn’t listening to you guys on some of the past stuff. I was looking at that because I
just wanted to know. I mean if it’s one of those things, is it a sport that people do and.
McGonagill: …it’s illegal to have one.
Randall: Yeah it is and in looking at this these people actually capture the bird and then train the
bird and then that’s how the sport begins so, but it is federally regulated and regulated by the
State including licensure and training standards and everything. It’s almost like when we had the
bee discussion. The schooling and the amount of time it took to become a beekeeper within
those standards. The other thing too that they don’t call them a bird of prey. They call them a
raptor and that raptor includes a lot of things instead of bird of prey so that might be better
terminology for our ordinance but.
McGonagill: It winds up with the DNR, State code that way. I know the national codes.
Randall: Yeah. Yeah. So it is a lengthy process. Like I just looked at the DNR website and the
requirements are, let’s see here. They have a permit process. Classifications. Junior apprentice.
Apprentice. General master. They have different classification upgrades. I suppose what you
can do with the bird and that type of thing so.
Skistad: I think you actually have to go to the centers for that. I had someone I worked with a
long time ago was interested in this and it’s intensive.
McGonagill: So Mark what would you suggest we do?
Randall: I think that, I don’t like this blanket proposal on it. I think you know based on our
discussion we had about beekeeping and that type of thing, maybe that, if we follow that kind of
standard so it is inclusive with that. I don’t know enough about falconing. I don’t know if could
someone come and bring their falcon in the city of Chanhassen and do their falconing sporting
thing that day but not keep the bird in the city like they live in Minnetonka and bring the bird to
Chan, I don’t know but I think it’s kind of going on that same realm as the beekeeping thing. We
made some of those standards in that ordinance where you had to have so much training and that
type of thing. I think that would be something to look at. Unless there’s a problem that we’ve
had with these birds in the past, I don’t know of that but that’s just my two cents on it. I won’t
be voting for this. I’ll move it out, or I won’t vote for it.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
41
Reeder: Would it be better to write something that says unless a person has a State license or?
Aanenson: Well it’s already implied. If you look at the, all the alternatives that were in here.
The first alternative was to do nothing because it’s already heavily regulated so if we do nothing
does it absolve the DNR requirements or any of those things so I think that’s what Mark,
Commissioner Randall was saying.
McGonagill: Just leave it alone and it will take care of itself.
Randall: Yeah. Unless I guess we have a problem with it in the future if that’s something that
needs to be addressed within the city. You know like every other house has a falcon at it and
they’re causing problems with dogs or something. I mean I don’t know, I’m not trying to make
light of it.
McGonagill: I think bees would be a lot more common than a falconer showing up.
Tietz: Oh yeah. There’s very few I’m sure.
Weick: Just consider the nuisance factor.
Randall: Yeah and I don’t.
Weick: If that’s something you want to really deal with right? I mean they aren’t quiet. You
know I mean.
Randall: Yeah but the nuisance thing you could automatically deal with just like we do with
barking dogs. I mean if we’ve got a barking dog, get a noise complaint. Sheriff’s office or code
enforcement comes out and says hey we’ve got a problem. It’s interfering with your neighbors.
Here’s your warning. Here’s your ticket. You know that type of thing so we do have
mechanisms to deal with the nuisance type of thing I guess. But it isn’t something that, does the
city code not having that in place it’s regulated by the DNR but is it something that our city has
to go and check on? I don’t think our city should be responsible for that. I think the regulation
from the State should be the ones doing that but.
McGonagill: So could we just remove consideration of this proposed amendment or do we have
to deny it?
Weick: well I think you would, yeah.
Aanenson: Recommend not adopting the change.
Weick: The motion would be not to adopt. You’d have to word it negative, you know in the
negative.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
42
Aanenson: Yep correct.
Weick: But yeah we would have to vote on it.
McGonagill: Okay thank you.
Weick: It’d be something to the effect that we would.
Aanenson: Recommend not adopting.
Walters: Or deny the proposed amendment.
Aanenson: Yeah.
Weick: Which we can, we can hear a motion. I mean it’s up to you. We can hear a motion in
either way, whoever wants to propose a motion.
Tietz: It’d be nice to somehow move forward our discussion so that the council doesn’t read this
differently and then eliminate it. And then say well why did they, why did the Planning
Commission deny it and we think it’s appropriate and so we’re going to approve it.
Weick: Which they can.
Tietz: Well they can so that’s why I’m saying we have to have some of our discussion to make
sure the council understands what we discussed.
Randall: Do what, I can do a motion where it includes like we believe the regulatory authority
should be the DNR or the State of Minnesota under the DNR and.
Weick: I would, I’d keep the motion simple and then when we make comments after it’s
seconded then I would ask you to maybe to second at that time and offer a summary of why.
Randall: Okay.
Weick: And then that might over I think, is that fair?
Aanenson: Yeah…
Weick: Yeah I mean it’s in the notes.
Aanenson: Well we always do that with our staff report. …the rationale basis for the driveway.
Why it was pulled off separately…and we’ll keep the omnibus.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
43
Walters: As a matter of practice I always when the commission has concerns, even if it’s a
minority view I always put the commission expressed concerns about A, B, C and D and then in
this case I would structure and for these reasons voted to recommend denial. So I will go
through the verbatim minutes of this meeting and I will pull out every concern addressed to make
sure it gets to the council.
Weick: It will be on the record.
Randall: So does this sound fine for a motion? The Chan Planning Commission recommends
that the City Council not adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter 20 concerning the keeping
of birds of prey. I’d like to make a motion to reference what I just said. Is that fine?
Weick: I think we have a valid motion. Yes we do, we have a valid motion from Commissioner
Randall. Do we have a second?
Skistad: I’ll second it.
Weick: We have a second from Commissioner Skistad. Any comments for the record? Before
we vote. Hearing none.
Randall moved, Skistad seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends
that the City Council not adopt the proposed amendment to Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen
City Code concerning the keeping of birds of prey. All voted in favor, except for Chairman
Weick who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 5 to 1.
Weick: That motion passes 5 to 1. Thank you everybody.
Randall: Do we need to put comments under the City or for the?
Weick: Well you had a moment to do that.
Aanenson: We’ll summarize it.
Weick: They’ve got it and everything you said is in the record and they’ll get that too so I think
we’re, I think it’s pretty, I mean I think the City Council should understand.
McGonagill: …this stuff we’ve seen before…
Randall: Well the other thing it does though too it, like even with the traffic studies, by already
having that it doesn’t bring up that concern so we’re not asking that question later on. It’s
already been done. It’s like well you know I’m concerned about the traffic at this place. Have
you looked at that? Ah no. Well now we know that they’ve already, they’re going to do that so.

McGonagill: And be required.
Randall: Yeah.
Skistad: And thank you for sending me the extra things I asked for.
Walters: Oh my pleasure.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Reeder noted the Minutes of the Planning

ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS.
Weick: And do we have any administrative presentations?
Aanenson: Yes we do. So on October 14th we discussed these proposed changes with the City
Council but we haven’t had too many items going before that you have seen. We’ve got some
remodels I mentioned. Jimmies Southern Barbeque going in. That’s one we’re looking at so
you’ve actually got drive thru’s. You’ve got the Hour Glass Cleaners on, or now the Tide
Cleaner on one end with a drive thru so.
McGonagill: …Southern Barbeque is?
Aanenson: Yes they’ve got a remodeling permit so, because it’s a permitted use in the zoning
district you wouldn’t see that so, and then we’ve also got a robust use on the other end of that
block so we just want to make sure everything’s working together with all the stuff that we’ve
got on that street. And I did want to point out to you what’s coming. We do have a subdivision
up on Minnewashta. We’re doing a lot of infill developments. Small subdivision up on
Minnewashta. That’ll be on your next agenda. And it was also pointed out to me to, rightly so
from Commissioner McGonagill that we do do long range planning. I don’t always share it with
you so I’m going to put on the agenda, I’m going to share this the EDC, the Economic
Commission. Share with you the downtown vision plan so I’ll kind of go through that and so we
just got word today our comp plan has been accepted. We’ve been working through laboriously
the I and I stuff. Oh my goodness. We have a lot of sewer inflow into our storm water system
so, or storm water going into our sewer system so had to do a lot of remodeling of the, not
remodeling but modeling of all that and by watershed district and a lot of different ways and so,
anyway so we’re on schedule to have it formally adopted by January 22nd. We’ve all got that
starred on our calendar so we’ll come back and share some of that stuff with you. Some of those
changes and where we are on that. I also wanted to, I was going to tell you something else here.
Oh Park 2nd Addition came in. They’ll probably go in January for that one. Yeah they’re
plugging away so, let’s see. I was going to tell you one other thing here.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019

McGonagill: Say Kate?
Aanenson: Yeah.
McGonagill: Commissioner Tietz has a question.
Tietz: So who approves that grading…
Aanenson: I’m not sure they will approve on that so you’ll have to talk to engineering about it,
yep. Yep.
McGonagill: So will you report that to engineering?
Aanenson: Engineers are on top of that yes. They were notified probably a month ago on that
so, yeah. So we’re working through some of the issues there. Trying to get some permits going
with them. Getting the road. Temporary road.
McGonagill: So my question…do we stop them?
Aanenson: Yes, yes. Yes.
Weick: I missed the first part.
Tietz: I don’t think so.
McGonagill: But okay that’s why I’m asking. That’s the question I have.
Aanenson: Yeah a lot of dewatering. A lot of yes so.
Weick: Which property is that?
McGonagill: The Park.
Weick: Oh.
Skistad: Yeah I was wondering, I noticed that too.
Aanenson: I was just going to point out too that.
McGonagill: Will we be telling, making engineering aware of that Kate?
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
46
Aanenson: They‘re aware of it. They’ve been working with them. They had a meeting with
them, yes. And the message was delivered. Yeah. Just to let you also know that Gedney Pickles
has moved out so that building right now is vacant. We’re setting up a meeting with the owner
of that building to kind of see what they want to do on that site. It has a big, huge commercial
well so they’re down, yeah they’re next to Chaska there. To see what sort of uses they’re
looking at for that site. So that’s kind of the only thing in the works right now. I think as far as
some of the, you know we’ve got some infill development right now. Waiting to see where
Avienda’s at. They’re probably going to ask for an extension going into next year. We’ve asked
for them to give us some timeframe so what they want to do when because that seems to keep
getting kicked down the road. I think those are the, I guess the main things that we’ve got going.
Comp plan so we’ll be submitting the implementation of that once we get that adopted. And so
that’s pretty much it but I think that pervious paver would be a good thing to kind of go visit too
next summer. That’d be a good project. I think that’s all I had.
Skistad: What about the roads? I mean the road issue.
Aanenson: For, which road?
Skistad: All of the roads. There’s deteriorating roads.
Aanenson: In the city?
Skistad: That council’s, yeah talking about
Aanenson: Yeah, yeah. So they’re talking about with a franchise fee so that’s what they’re
using to budget some of that so.
Skistad: So the franchise fee passed then?
Aanenson: Well that’s what they’re, well they haven’t voted on the budget yet.
Walters: But they passed the franchise fee. The ordinance.
Aanenson: Okay.
Skistad: They did? That just happened? Yeah okay.
Aanenson: I thought it went through with the budget but.
Walters: Well the ordinances were passed for the franchise fee I thought.
Aanenson: We’ll get clarification on that.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
47
Skistad: Okay.
Aanenson: …yep they were published so then they were passed yeah. So the entire budget
hasn’t been passed yet though. So that’s on for the Truth in Taxation is in, the first meeting in
December then they have a December 9th meeting with the last meeting of the year and these will
be on that meeting so that’s where we’re at on that. I think that’s it. So we’ll talk about the
downtown plan. I think would be good to just kind of get updated on the, there’s some action
steps for putting that plan. I think that would be good to get you aware of that. You
know…activity, some of those sort of things.
McGonagill: For the downtown?
Aanenson: With the downtown, yep, yep, yep. You know…downtown we need more walkable.
When we talk about when you’re talking on the Target side it’s not as windy…as opposed to
walking on the Byerlys side where you kind of feel more exposed and some of those things that
make it a more pleasant experience to walk between the different uses. Crossing back and forth
on West 79th. 78th. Those sort of things so looking at some of those things as we look at
individual projects and what we can do to make sure as a commission that we’re thinking about
those guiding principles so we’ll go through that. And then like I say once we get the comp plan
approval come back and circle back to some of the significant changes there. What that means
and a lot of it’s going to be the storm water, the biggest chunk of some of those amendments so.
Commissioner McGonagill’s question was not picked up by the microphone.
Aanenson: They’d like to be in as soon as they can. They want to be in shortly. I mean
obviously they’d like to be in by Thanksgiving. That’s kind of their window.
McGonagill: To be in before the end of the year.
Aanenson: Correct.
McGonagill: Both of them?
Aanenson: I don’t think the barbeque, Southern Barbeque, I’m not sure how much remodeling
they’ve got going there so I think that’s going to be a little bit longer so.
Randall: Where’s Jimmies going in?
Aanenson: It’s where the liquor store used to be. It’s on the end where Paragon Bakery is so
again this is kind of with the overall downtown vision plan. We’ve got a project where we
manage them by parking so for example we were talking about these buildings that get converted
to, yeah you have to show that. The, they’re changing uses and so what we had originally was
warehouse, warehousing is now becoming more retail oriented so that’s why we always ask them
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
48
to say you need to demonstrate where your parking so it’s kind of some of the challenges that we
have in the, you know kind of some of the infill in the core that we’re kind of balancing all that
out too so that’s why Jimmies, not Jimmies but Tequila Butcher wanted to make sure because
they know, it met the standards, our city standards but they anecdotally by their own business
operations that they need more parking so that’s what we’re trying to manage yeah.
McGonagill: Three restaurants right there next to each other.
Aanenson: Yeah, yeah. They go across the street yeah.
McGonagill: So then you’ve got Jimmies and you have Tequila Butcher.
Aanenson: Then you’ll have Panera and yep. Well again that’s where you’re looking at your
know the peak hours. I’m guessing Tequila Butcher’s probably going to have a lot later hours
than probably Panera. More people behind that dinnertime but.
Randall: Well just look at like North Coop. That whole, that changed strip up there and you’ve
got a lot more traffic…
Aanenson: But also so Pasture Property owns that. You know that also energies their whole
center so they get more people there and then other people, it’s kind of like Tequila Butcher is
going to energize that, everything else there too and then so things change. Kind of the spark
plug. Is there anything else that you wanted me to follow up on before our last meeting or that I
can bring to you for our last meeting? If there’s anything you want me get you updated on or can
tell you. I’ll have more information on The Park, where they’re at.
McGonagill: That’d be good.
Aanenson: Yeah. See where they’re at but there was a meeting held on that, at that and some
other issues out there. Just making sure that they’re not parking in the street, etcetera, some
other issues like that so there’s a few things. Pardon me?
Tietz: Have they been doing that too? Parking in the street?
Aanenson: Well they’ve just been yeah.
Tietz: Just big trucks they’ve moved in and out.
McGonagill: Well parking across on Longacres streets. They’ve been parking over there.
Aanenson: Yeah it’s you know.
Tietz: They’ve got 200 acres to park on.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
49
Aanenson: Yeah but they’re only supposed to stay in Phase 1 right so that’s…
Tietz: So is that just grading that they’ve been doing in Phase 2 or are they actually extending
the storm and?
Aanenson: Yes, just grading. Yeah, yeah. They haven’t got their plans approved for the sewer
and water yeah. So those typically just go to City Council so. But if there’s anything else that
comes to mind that you’d like me to follow up on. Franchise fees was approved.
Tietz: Could we, well I can do it too because I know someplace in my computer I’ve got those
Galpin Boulevard plans that were proposed by the County for the upgrades.
Aanenson: Yeah.
Tietz: I thought there was going to be some further design or considerations to the mini
roundabouts and the roundabouts or something.
Aanenson: There could be. I’ll follow up on that.
Tietz: I just don’t know if that’s just idle right now.
McGonagill: And the trails. You remember it was a size issue wasn’t it?
Tietz: Or if the County is proceeding with their… That’s not til 2022 correct?
Aanenson: Correct.
Tietz: So it’s a couple years still.
Aanenson: Yeah and we thought that’d be good because then we’d get all the heavy traffic off
that, you know a lot of it and then rebuild it and so we don’t have a new road to wear and tear.
Tietz: I was talking with Erick some time back that the top of the hill where Longacres.
Aanenson: The crown’s going to come down.
Tietz: It’d better come down a lot because you can’t see…
Aanenson: Yeah, yeah I think that’s the biggest complaint we have out there yeah. So that
crown will come down. I’ll put those plans in your packet.
Chanhassen Planning Commission – November 19, 2019
50
Tietz: …at that time because that was a year, that’s over a year ago that those plans were
submitted weren’t they when you have those open houses.
Aanenson: Yeah yeah. It was before the project even came through, yeah. Open houses yeah.
It was like right before that but yeah I can get you a revised on that.
Tietz: Maybe someone from engineering could just come and update us.
Aanenson: Perfect yeah.
Tietz: Even if there’s…
Aanenson: I’ll have Erick or George come in and talk about it so. Yeah I think that’d be good.
That’s part of the long range plan that we need to talk about that we don’t always do which is
important to do too.
Skistad: Does that get rid of the stop signs on Galpin?
Aanenson: If they go roundabouts that’s what they were trying.
McGonagill: It’s going to be roundabouts.
Aanenson: So everybody slows down so I’ll have to check on this but that’s how it originally
was intended.
Tietz: Yeah I don’t know how many mini roundabouts can we do in the city but we were in
France in September, I mean there’s a mini roundabout, there aren’t any stop signs. There are
yield signs and mini roundabouts and boy does that slow traffic when you talk about I remember
a couple years ago we were talking about how to slow traffic in Avienda because the neighbors
on west, southwest were concerned about the through traffic. Well just throw in a few mini
roundabouts. It brings it down to almost 10 miles an hour. I mean it’s just all the yield signs and
roundabouts…Galpin because those intersections are really pretty brutal.
Skistad: And there’s a lot of traffic on there now I noticed. Like so much more than there’s
been in just this last few months. I don’t know why that would be but it’s. It’s really, really
increased.
Tietz: Yeah well see I’m still interested in where you hit Hennepin County and all of a sudden
the great road just dies because when you go down the hill by Steller Pond, Shorewood has a
road about that wide and that’s the connection to Highway 7 so we’re going to have this great
improvement all the way to that point and I don’t think there’s any stop.
Aanenson: Traffic calming.

ESTABLISH 2020 PICNIC RESERVATION FEES.
Boettcher: Jerry is this you?
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
2
Ruegemer: Yes it is Chair Boettcher. Thank you again. Good evening park and rec
commissioners. Just wanted to go through the annual discussion related to our picnic fees for
this upcoming season. We’re looking to take a look at those. We always look at the kind of the
reservation categories and kind of the criteria that we have and information related to the annual
I guess reservation season or picnic season that we have. We reviewed that last month at the
Park and Recreation Commission meeting so we always take a look at and see how we can
improve on things and kind of where we are in the area of picnic fees. As you can see in the
report you have not raised picnic fees for 10 plus years. Staff has looked at a number of different
areas with Three Rivers Park District, the City of Eden Prairie, some other neighboring areas and
I feel at this point it is time to take a look at raising those slightly so we had kind of listed an
illustration here that staff is recommending that the resident rate go up Monday through
Thursday from $100 to $125. Friday through Sunday from $125 to $150. Non-resident will go
up from $200 to $225 and then non-resident Friday through Sunday from $250 to $275 so just a
slight $25 increase across the board. Everything else is recommended to stay the same with that
so our large group fees of 100 persons or more in the picnic area would remain the same at $50
and $100 for resident and non-resident for that. Staff’s also recommending that the school rates
remain the same for that so just really kind of focus on graduation parties, company picnics,
birthday parties, that sort of thing here for that so. It is staff’s recommendation that the Park and
Recreation Commission recommend to the City Council to establish the 2020 picnic reservation
fees with the following adjustments. The resident rate Monday through Thursday goes up to
$125. Friday through Sunday the price is increased to $150 for non-resident. Monday through
Thursday non-resident will go up to $225 and then $275 for the Friday through Sunday rate for
the non-resident. As stated in previous conversations here all the reservation fees for the rest of
the remaining with the school rates and large group fees will stay the same so, and then your
recommendation would be forwarded then to City Council for their approval at the January 13th
meeting.
Boettcher: Okay, any questions for Jerry?
Tsuchiya: Jerry just approximately do you know what the increased revenue might be from the
rate increase? Just over prior years.
Ruegemer: You know roughly we have roughly about 125 reservations per year. I’d say 80-90
percent of those are resident rates so if I times that by say 100 times 25.
Tsuchiya: Yeah okay, $2,500 so okay. That’s still nice.
Boettcher: The one question I had when you said you compared to other cities in the area. Are
we in the, does this put us now in the middle of the range? Top of the range? Lower range?
Ruegemer: You know I’d say we’re kind of right in there Jim with the kind of the non-resident
shelters. You know our shelters really have a higher capacity compared to a lot of the Three
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
3
Rivers shelters. The Eden Prairie shelters. Eden Prairie number one only rents to Eden Prairie
residents or Eden Prairie businesses.
Boettcher: They don’t rent to?
Ruegemer: They don’t do anything non-resident so a 40 person capacity shelter at Eden Prairie
is $100. So for a resident shelter at the Lakeside Pavilion we go 125-150 person capacity there
so it’s quite higher capacity. The Klingelhutz Pavilion is up to 300 to 400 people for that so for
our residents so the fee I think is kind of right in. I think we’re still in a very competitive rate for
that. Another shelter at Eden Prairie is $225 for 125 capacity shelter there so again I think we’re
right, we’re very competitive. I think this rate increase isn’t going to hurt us at all.
Boettcher: So it’s still, it keeps us very competitive more than anyone. I know we had a
company function at Lake Riley which was in Eden Prairie probably about 12 or 13 years ago
and we were still able to get in at that time. Our office was located in Edina but we were able to
get in, but I remember it was 150 back then and they said well you get a barbeque grill. Wow. It
sounded like it was maybe double what it should have been at that time but maybe because we
were non-residents maybe that was their tag to get you in. I don’t remember but I just remember
that dollar at that time was more than we’re charging right now for some. Good. No other
questions for Jerry, anyone want to put it to a question? The proposed motion.
Tsuchiya: I’ll make the motion. I’ll move that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends that the City Council approve the 2020 Picnic Reservation Fees for group picnics
with the following adjustments: Residents Monday through Thursday $125, Friday through
Sunday $150; Non-Residents Monday through Thursday $225, Friday through Sunday $275. All
other reservation fees will remain the same as 2019.
Petouvis: Second.
Tsuchiya moved, Petouvis seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission
recommends that the City Council approve the 2020 Picnic Reservation Fees for group
picnics with the following adjustments: Residents Monday through Thursday $125, Friday
through Sunday $150; Non-Residents Monday through Thursday $225, Friday through
Sunday $275. All other reservation fees will remain the same as 2019. All voted in favor
and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0.
OLD BUSINESS: UPDATE FROM CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Boettcher: The only thing which I had added earlier, as I said Todd and Meredith and I were at
the work session last night and had a very informative presentation. I saw the Mayor and the
City Council members, a lot of them doing the nodding in the affirmative which felt really good.
Even when they talked about money. Talked about the two possibilities, Lake Ann by itself at
$4.2 and the total package I think was $9.1 or something like that. About $5 million more so I’m
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
4
not sure which direction we’re going to go. The survey results will lead us in that direction but I
think I heard some good stuff. I mean the questions that were asked by the mayor and a couple
of the councilors really there was interest there. I mean there was no negativity that I noted. The
one thing I guess I was kind of surprised, and it’s not a deal breaker by any means but was the
parking at Greenwood Shores. I always thought in discussions that we’ve had in the past that
was it a former park commission member way back when lived in the area and said there will
never be any parking here and something was passed. I was kind of surprised to see that. I mean
it’s necessary. It should have been there a long time ago but I hadn’t see that. I was kind of
surprised to see that listed on the docket.
Hoffman: Yeah the council requested that that be added in.
Boettcher: Oh they did?
Hoffman: At their work session when they took a look at the item.
Boettcher: Okay.
Hoffman: It’s currently the only park in the city that does not have some form of public parking
at it. Carver Beach Park, if you’re familiar with that and Lotus Trail, that was probably back in
the early 90’s that there was a plan for both parking at Greenwood Shores and the Carver Beach
and then there was public meetings and the council at that time took out the plan for Greenwood
Shores but they did go ahead with the plan at Carver Beach because there wasn’t any opposition
there. It’s 6 stalls. As you heard Kevin Clarke talk about last night, it really would just get some
cars off the street. It’s signed no parking but people do park on the street, both residents and
non-residents. Visitors park on the street sometimes so at least having those 6 stalls, I think the
budget item was $25,000 so it’s pretty nominal to add those. You take the gate, you pick it up.
You move it down the hill a little bit. You add 6 stalls off to the side so I’m sure you’re going to
hear something about it over time but it’s a good way to get those parking stalls in at that
location.
Boettcher: Now all the surveys were they mailed or were they?
Hoffman: Mailed.
Boettcher: And when was the anticipated arrival? I haven’t seen one yet.
Hoffman: There’s a select group so everybody in the city doesn’t get them. It’s a select group
that is mailed these surveys and then when you receive it there’s instructions. There’s a letter
from the mayor and then it says the person with the birthday closest to the receipt I think, so it
still takes some of that you know typically a 2 person household would get a survey and they’d
say you know the more aggressive person might want to take the survey. This at least guides,
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019

this is the selected person so you can at least take some of that bias out of it. And so there’s a lot
of things, tricks that they do in making sure that the results are somewhat official.
Boettcher: No I know there were questions last night and there was some discussion. Todd
made some points about it was the boardwalk, because of the cost of it for two 400 foot
boardwalks was $800,000 I believe and people were thinking well City Manager said was that
the 3 by 3, 10 foot wide boards laid on the ground. He said no this is a little bit, you can drive on
this one so it’s a little bit bigger. It’s got pilings and everything. I mean like I said the
councilors and everyone at the meeting they were asking a lot of good questions which told me it
peaked their interest and there wasn’t, they weren’t thinking in the negative. I didn’t hear any
negative comments from them so we’re hopeful with what the survey says and then we’d make
the determination and then the council. What our next step would be as far as how we get the
money.
Hoffman: Yeah and I think that’s a, it’s probably not just a referendum. You could you know
cities can fund a $4.2 million dollar project. If it’s the desire of the park commission and the
council to move forward you can find other. A referendum is fairly involved. It involves a lot of
effort. Lots of leg work. Lots of meetings. Lots of emotion in the community and so yeah you
can, there’s other ways to finance the project. You can raise the $4.2 million dollars and so,
don’t know what the commission thoughts are as we move into the first quarter of next year but
we’ll have those results probably back in February I’m thinking from the survey and then you
can decide at that point. And there’s going to be a little bit of a timing, you know there’s some
urgency to move ahead but there’s also, as you’re aware the land is coming in two chunks and so
it’s giving us some time to kind of have these conversations about financing. We’re maybe a
year to 18 months and so even though there is urgency you still have to wait til you get that
second chunk of land until you can do the whole thing so you have some time there. So as you
think through your schedule do you want to wait til April to your joint meeting and talk then.
April or May when you typically have your joint meeting or do you want to have, you know you
could ask the council to talk earlier as well. You can request some, it’s a pretty significant
project. It’s not every day that the park commission and the City Council is talking about a
project of this significance. One thing that I relayed to the council yesterday, and I really hadn’t
thought about it until the start of this week is that, this is the largest public land acquisition in the
City’s history and so it’s the largest piece of property acquired for public local park in our
history. In our 52 year history and then to have such a nice plan for the trails and the open space
preservation and I think everybody’s excited and you know would like to see it happen and then
the real magic to this is just getting people into that space. For those of you who have been in
there, once you’re in there it’s just pure magic. It’s just a beautiful, beautiful location and then to
have all the neighborhood access points and the boardwalks. The boardwalks are actually I
thought a heck of a value at $1,000 a foot. They’re an elaborate structure. It’s the only way you
can get in there from two locations. Two of the sides and they’re really nicely done and so those
boardwalks are a nice feature for the trails so the conversation will continue. I think this,
obviously elected officials take, they lend a lot of credence to surveys and so you know if the
survey is at least neutral, maybe even you know significantly positive based on would you
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
6
contribute $5 per month to make these things happen and that’s $9 million. So if you go lower
than that then that contribution would be lower. So there’s still some ground work to be had and
then a conversation in 2020.
Boettcher: Yeah and the timing would probably be right if the survey is done in February. If we
had the results for our March meeting and then usually about mid-April is our meeting with City
Council so the timing there is for us to discuss it kind of our plan, our thoughts, our visions of it
at our March meeting before we go to meet with council 2 or 3 weeks later would probably be
perfect timing wise so.
Hoffman: Yeah I got the feeling they wanted to be involved in that conversation and I think it’s
obviously good that they are.
Boettcher: Anything you wanted to add Meredith? You were a busy note taker last night.
Petouvis: Oh I was just writing down what everybody’s comments and questions were. But just
for those of us who weren’t there the presentation, correct me if I’m wrong Todd was essentially
exactly the same as what we saw at our meeting last month so, so there’s nothing in there that I
don’t think you all have seen so, but like Jim said mostly positive comments. Just questions
about can we do this in there? Will public safety have access to the area? The answer is yes.
And but really nothing, no significant concerns.
Boettcher: There was a question from the mayor about a dog park and Todd explained that with
access you would have to park way over here. Bring the dogs just it doesn’t lend itself to that
type of facility at this location.
Hoffman: Oh there’ll be plenty of dogs in there.
Boettcher: Oh there will be. It just won’t be organized like at Lake Minnewashta.
Hoffman: The current city code for dogs are dogs are allowed anywhere on a public trail on a
leash, either in a park or outside of a park. Dogs are not permitted in parks per se but they are
allowed on trails that are within parks.
Boettcher: So you can’t even like on the softball fields over here at Lake Ann?
Hoffman: No dogs off leash are not allowed at parks.
Boettcher: Off leash but on leash?
Hoffman: Nope, dogs if you’re in a park they have to be on a trail.

Boettcher: I try to tell people that sometimes and they just glare at me so I say I’m on the park
commission. My name’s Karl Tsuchiya.
Hoffman: I’m an attorney.
Boettcher: I’m here to help.
Tsuchiya: I’m here to help, you stole my line.
Boettcher: But anyways I thought it was great, at least what I saw. I thought the perception
from the council members so. If there’s nothing else we can move onto reports.
Pemrick: Sorry one other thing I forgot to bring up earlier. So I think it was in our first meeting
in here I had noticed the by-laws had a date older than when they were supposed to be re-upped
and Todd was going to look at that and I noticed the set of by-laws you sent out to us last week
about the junior commissioner had the 2013 date on it.
Hoffman: Okay.
Pemrick: And they’re supposed to be updated every 5 years so we are a year behind on that so
I’m thinking we should probably get that on the docket in the future here.
Boettcher: We can do that. January would be a good time probably. Start of the new year.
Hoffman: Absolutely yep.
Boettcher: Take a look at it and see.
Pemrick: Okay.
Boettcher: I had thought of that and.
Pemrick: I think about it when I’m not here and then I forget when I get here so.
Boettcher: Yeah for a January meeting that should be great. If nothing else move onto reports.
REPORTS:
2019 HALLOWEEN PARTY EVALUATION.
Boettcher: First one, number one Halloween Party evaluation. And I believe Priya is that you?
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
8
Tandon: Yes. Thank you Chair Boettcher and thank you park and rec commissioners. The 35th
Annual Halloween Party was held on Saturday, October 26th at the Chanhassen Recreation
Center. We had 415 registrants this year which was great. Normally at least 2015 registrations
have been somewhere between 300 and 350 so we were up I think significantly this year which
was awesome. Registrants and their families enjoyed carnival games, door prizes, refreshments,
indoor trick or treating, two spooky rooms, hay rides and a magic show so just kind of going
through those each specifically. The entertainment was provided by Brian Richards. He did a
half hour magic show which got pretty positive reviews by both kids and parents. Rooms 1 and
2 in the Rec Center were spooky rooms as had been in the past. The carnival games were held in
the Bluff Creek Elementary gym, kind of spread out throughout the gym so I think it worked
really well because it was a highly trafficked area. Refreshments were cookies and apple cider in
Rooms 3 and 4 which were purchased from Cub Foods in Chanhassen. I think next year we
should consider purchasing 55 or 56 dozen cookies as we kind of ran out by the end but it was
almost perfect with that number. The hay rides were in kind of that front field area by the rec
center which had high visibility as participants were walking into the event. We had 24
wonderful volunteers from the community from park and rec commission and Chanhassen,
Chaska and Minnetonka Key Clubs and National Honor Societies and they assisted with carnival
games, refreshments, some last minute set up, registrations and then cleaning up the event as
well. So some things that went well, the event continuing to use that conference room until
Monday morning for easier clean up. I think we could be more active in recruiting volunteers for
the 2020 Halloween Party just because we did have to pull two carnival games and I think the
more volunteers would provide just those two extra games and some more coverage. Additional
props to the spooky rooms to keep things fresh and fun for guests who have attended multiple
years. And then I think the last thing I would hope to add in 2020 was maybe a photo station
somewhere at the event. Not only for parents to take photos of their kids but maybe have a
volunteer there to assist with taking full family photos which I think would be a fun event for the
kids as well hopefully they might post those photos to Facebook or share them with their friends
which would also hopefully bring those friends into the event in future years.
Boettcher: Very good. So what is the total time? Is it 2 ½ - 3 hours?
Priya: Two hours.
Boettcher: Two hours. So 415, yikes.
Ruegemer: Kids plus parents.
Priya: It’s busy.
Boettcher: Now for the last several years there was a former park commissioner used to show up
as Mr. Incredible. Did I see somebody in a red with, he didn’t show this year?
Ruegemer: Mr. Incredible was not there.
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019

Hoffman: But 600 cookies Jim.
Boettcher: Well see we were on our cruise. Well we actually had just gotten home but I like the
fact that you’re go up a couple dozen more because that would fit for me next year. Some day
I’ll have to tell you my whole cookie story and how I’ve been designated that. Commissioner
Tsuchiya just really loves that whole thing that I do but it sounds like it was a great success. I
mean it was from 300 last year you said?
Tandon: Last year I believe the registration was 365. I’d have to double check.
Boettcher: So it went up another 50.
Tandon: Yep..
Boettcher: Okay.
Tandon: Yeah it was great weather which I think had a lot to do with it and our Facebook event
reached quite a few people as well so.
Boettcher: Good.
Ruegemer: Priya’s first week of work. At least she’s already done one.
Boettcher: It took her a week Jerry. How long have you been doing it?
Ruegemer: A few years.
Boettcher: You’re pushing them away and she’s bringing them in, okay.
Pemrick: Any thoughts or have you guys ever done paid marketing through Facebook ads in
helping try, you know they can use all those algorithms and try and promote it to the people
within different ranges.
Tandon: You know not that I’m aware of but that would be something that would be really
valuable I think to look into for next year.
Pemrick: Cool.
Kutz: What do you think your max capacity would be for that facility? I mean I’m assuming
with potentially 800 people you had to be pretty full. I mean could you actually handle more
than that?
Park and Recreation Commission – November 26, 2019
10
Tandon: You know I would say we were pretty close to max capacity but we could handle more
if we used the space differently I think so I definitely think we could have more participants.
Petouvis: What’s fire code say?
Kutz: Good question.
Boettcher: You want to run it by the Chanhassen Fire Department that could check that out.
Kutz: Yeah Fire Marshal.
Tandon: It’s something to look into for next year.
Boettcher: Well sounds good. So since that was your first event you know what that means, we
just keep expecting that bar, it’s just going to keep, the carrot’s going to be dangling a little bit
higher every time so.
Tandon: Okay sounds good.
Boettcher: Great job thank you.
2019 TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY.
Boettcher: And I think you’re for the tree lighting. This is your’s also Priya.
Tandon: Yes that’s correct, thank you. So looking ahead we have our tree lighting ceremony that
will be held on the plaza in City Center Park on Saturday, December 7th. The event starts at 5:00
p.m. and will run for approximately one hour with the holiday tree being lit around 5:15 p.m. by
Deputy Mayor Dan Campion. So at the event we’ll of course have the official lighting of City
Center Park as well as we have live reindeer coming. Refreshments. Bonfires. S’mores. We
have carolers. Gingerbread house displays and a visit from Santa Claus. The event is free and
open to all ages. The event is expected to draw approximately 300 to 400 attendees. To
advertise the event we have flyers going out in the Chanhassen Villager on December 5th. We’ll
have a Facebook event that hopefully will get us some publicity on social media. We have flyers
at City Hall and Chanhassen Recreation Center. And then the last thing is the tree lighting
ceremony is co-sponsored by the City of Chanhassen, Buy Chanhassen is providing some of the
refreshments. Southwest Chamber of Commerce who is providing the S’mores and the Mustard
Seed Landscape and Garden Center who is providing the visit from Santa Claus.
Boettcher: Sounds good. Bring the kids Karl.
Tsuchiya: They’re up for it.

Boettcher: Okay. Alright thank you Priya. Very good.
Tandon: Thank you.
COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS. None.
COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS. None.
ADMINISTRATIVE PACKET.
Boettcher: I was looking through the administrative packet here. Anything Todd? I see a senior
center has their Christmas Party coming up.
Hoffman: They do.
Boettcher: On Friday.
Hoffman: And you’re all invited if you’d like to attend. Well you got two. Both an invitation
and then just an invitation because of where’s at in life.
Boettcher: Actually three.
Tsuchiya: Tell you what I’ll forward it to you right now.
Boettcher: The 7th is the Holiday Boutique. This is something that’s really, I think it’s how
many years has this one been going on Todd?
Hoffman: A bunch.
Boettcher: A bunch. I know my wife has gone over and bought stuff several years so. What do
we do for the tree lighting in case of 14 inches of snow?
Hoffman: Party goes on.
Tsuchiya: It looks pretty.
Ruegemer: There was a pretty good amount of snow last year.
Boettcher: Oh that’s right. That was the first big one last year too wasn’t it?
Ruegemer: Yeah we’ve had snow before but that was a pretty big one last year.

Boettcher: Anyone have anything else? We don’t want to set a record for short meeting here.
Oh do we? Alright with that being the case no more business I’ll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Tsuchiya moved, Petouvis seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the
motion carried unanimously with a vote of 6 to 0. The Park and Recreation Commission

DISCUSSION
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Removing Standard Specification and Detail Plate Requirement for Permeable Paver Systems
Report Summary:
The city’s pervious paver ordinance requires pervious pavement systems be designed in compliance with standards
established by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and follow the current version of the City of
Chanhassen Standard and Specification and Detail Plates (City Standards). When staff investigated creating City
Standards for pervious pavers, staff discovered that due to the variety of pervious pavement systems and evolving
nature of pervious pavement technology, it would be cost and time prohibitive to create and maintain comprehensive
City Standards. Additionally, City Standards are typically only used for public improvements or private projects that
affect the public rightsof way. Requiring a purely private pervious pavement system to adhere to a City Standard
would not be in keeping with how other private improvements are treated.
Since the ICPI maintains a library with over 60 details and specifications for pervious pavement systems and the
ordinance already requires that pervious pavement systems be designed in accordance ICPI standards, staff believes it
is unnecessary and redundant to create our own City Standards.
Ordinance in Brief:
Delete requirement to follow the current version of the City of Chanhassen Standard Specification and Detail Plates
from the previous paver ordinance.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for clarification on the structure and nature of ICPI.
The Planning Commission expressed concern that quality materials be used to construct Pervious Pavement Systems.
The Planning Commission asked if the city was planning to have more pervious pavement system and staff clarified
that it was up to individual residents to determine if they wanted to install these systems. The Planning Commission
voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Clarify Language Governing Recreational Beach Lots
Report Summary:
Several sections of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards for recreational beach lots, particularly the section
governing overnight storage and mooring, are poorly structured. In its current state, it is difficult to read and hard to
determine what provisions apply and in what circumstances they apply. The city frequently receives calls from HOAs
interested in amending their CUP or clarifying their understanding of what is and is not permitted, and the confusing
structure of this section of the code can sometimes exacerbate rather than resolve their confusion. This section also
contains an outofdate reference that should be updated to continually reference the most recently adopted
comprehensive plan. Finally, this section outlines a policy allowing adjacent lots under a common ownership to consolidate
their docks that is confusing and unnecessary.

Staff proposes to rewrite sections of the Code to clarify the intent of the portions that routinely cause confusion. The
substance and nature of the provisions governing recreational beach lots should not be changed, other than updating the
outofdate reference and removing unnecessary provisions, but phrasing and organization should be reworked in the
hopes of creating a more userfriendly section.
Ordinance in Brief:
Replace reference to Year 2000 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary with reference to most recently
adopted MUSA, organize subsection 7 into separate clauses addressing docking, storage on racks, and sailboat
moorings, rewrite subsections 8 and 9 to improve clarity, place provision governing daytime docking and seaplanes in
its own subsection, and rewrite subsection 15 to improve clarity.

Require Traffic Studies as Part of Site Plan Reviews
Report Summary:
As the city builds out, there are fewer undeveloped sites available. This, combined with the fact that some of the
buildings in the city’s older developments are nearing the end of their functional life span, means that there is increased
interest in redeveloping existing sites. Many times this redevelopment takes the form of a new use that has the potential
to generate more traffic than the preexisting use. In some cases, these developments may increase traffic to the point
where the level of service of the surrounding roads is decreased.
The best way to determine the impact of a development on the surrounding roads is to conduct a traffic study;
however, the city’s site plan application requirements and review standards do not require applicant’s to provide a
traffic study. Staff is proposing amending this section of the City Code to require the inclusion of traffic studies with site
plan applications when requested by staff and to add maintaining an acceptable road system level of service to the
evaluation standards. This change would ensure staff can obtain sufficient information to evaluate the impact of
proposed developments on the city’s road system and that the City Council can act to protect the public interest in
situations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the road system’s level of service.
Ordinance in Brief:
Add “traffic study, if requested by the city” to the list of site plan application requirements and list “maintaining an
acceptable road system level of service” to the site plan evaluation standards.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that the proposed amendment could apply to all site
plan throughout the city. Staff clarified that while there are currently situations where we can require traffic studies; this
is not always the case. The Planning Commission asked how traffic studies were conducted. Staff responded that they
were conducted by a consultant and the Engineering Department typically determined the relevant radius. The Planning
Commission asked when applicants would be informed of this requirement. Staff responded that it would typically be
part of the application, but that if the Planning Commission or City Council decided they required additional
information during the review process, it could also be required at that point. The Planning Commission clarified that
this would apply to all zoning districts. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Adopting Zoning Standards for Solar Energy Systems
Report Summary:
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified supporting residential and business solar development that maintains
community character as a natural resources goal, and listed amending the City Code to include definitions, permitted
uses and plans, and access to sunlight as it pertained to solar energy as a policy. The Natural Resources Chapter of
the Comprehensive Plan clarifies this policy by noting that the city has prioritized tree planting which means public
investment in solar energy systems will be limited; however, the city wishes to facilitate the use of solar energy by

The Natural Resources Chapter of
the Comprehensive Plan clarifies this policy by noting that the city has prioritized tree planting which means public
investment in solar energy systems will be limited; however, the city wishes to facilitate the use of solar energy by
private businesses and residences.
Staff has reviewed the city’s existing solar energy provisions as well as literature and model ordinances produced by
the American Planning Association, the Great Plains Institute, and other organizations, and is proposing amending the
City Code to meet the policy objective stated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment would
allow accessory solar energy systems as a permitted use in all districts, adopt relevant definitions, encourage roof
mounted systems but allow for groundmounted systems where roofmounted systems are impractical, ensure that
solar energy systems do not create nuisance glare, and establish basic design, installation, and permitting requirements
for these systems. Staff is not proposing expanding the City Code’s existing provisions that protect access to solar
resources, as the existing code strikes a good balance between solar resources and other considerations. Staff is not
proposing any restrictions on private individual’s ability to enter into solar easements or adopt more restrictive
standards that they feel are better suited to their neighborhood.
Ordinance in Brief:
List accessory solar energy systems as permitted accessory use in all zoning districts, define terms related to accessory
solar energy systems, establish standards for accessory solar energy systems, establish permit and installation
requirements for accessory solar energy systems, and establish provisions for addressing abandoned accessory solar
energy systems.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for an estimate as to how large a solar energy system
would need to be to power an average sized house; staff estimated around 500 square feet but cautioned that it would
be highly variable. The Planning Commission asked how staff would ensure installers where reputable or qualified; staff
clarified that the building permit process would require a licensed contractor. The Planning Commission clarified that
the systems could be attached to the grid. The Planning Commission clarified that the zoning ordinance currently
prohibits utility scale solar energy production. The Planning Commission asked what would happen if a building with a
flat roof that was at its zoning district’s maximum height wanted to add solar panels; staff stated they would need a
variance, but that if it was reasonably designed, staff would likely support the request. The Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval.
Correct a Typographical Error in the Interim Use Statute
Report Summary:
The intent of Interim Use Permits (IUP) is to permit temporary uses with set expiration points. The expiration point is
either a fixed date or period, for example 10 years from the issuance of the IUP, or a set event, for example the
extension of urban services to the site. Both types of termination conditions are present within IUPs issued by the city;
however, the general issuance standards for interim use permits section 20322(4) reads, “The date of event that will
terminate the use can be identified with certainty.” As written, this would mean the city should only issue IUPs with
fixed dates of termination, for example the 10year anniversary of the permit, and not for future events of an uncertain
date, like the availability of urban services.
In order to be consistent with how IUPs have been issued and with the intent of IUPs, this section should read “date
or event”. Staff believes the use of the word “of” rather than “or” is the result of a typing error during codification, and
proposes fixing the error. As noted earlier, this language would be consistent with the existing termination clauses as
well as the intent of the IUP ordinance.
Ordinance in Brief:
Change text to read “date or event”.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission voted

Restrict Merchandise Sold at Temporary and Special Events to Goods Normally Sold on Site
Report Summary:
In 2017, the city revised the section of the City Code that governs temporary and special events to better address
larger events and races. As part of these revisions, the city switched from listing “criteria for approval” to stating
“grounds for denial”. The goal of this shift was to provide stronger legal justification for denying permits that the city
believed could negatively impact adjacent parcels or overtax municipal infrastructure and resources. Most of the
previously listed criteria for approval were rephrased and incorporated into the grounds for denial; however, the
requirement that only merchandise normally sold or stocked by the occupants could be sold or promoted was
overlooked.
Due to this omission, properties with commercial zoning could theoretically apply for a temporary outdoor event
permit to allow a business to set up a pop up shop in its parking lot. Since the goal of the ordinance is to allow for
Chanhassen’s businesses and organizations to promote themselves and host community events, rather than
accommodating transient merchants, staff feels this is contrary to the intent of the ordinance. Staff proposes adding the
omitted provision limiting merchandise sales to the section of the Code regulating temporary and special events.
Ordinance in Brief:
Add a requirement limiting goods sold at temporary and special events to those normally sold on site, with an
exception for goods clearly accessory to the proposed event.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that private residential events were not covered by
this ordinance. The Planning Commission clarified that charities could fundraise by selling items. The Planning
Commission asked if a fee would be involved in event permits; staff stated that there is a $50 temporary event fee and
$100 special event fee. The Planning Commission asked how people knew they needed permits; staff responded that
businesses were aware of the ordinance and that staff had sent out informational letters in the past. Staff clarified that
the proposed ordinance only addressed the types of goods sold during events. The Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval.
Adopt Minimum Driveway Configuration Standards
Report Summary:
There have been several ongoing issues with driveways in the City of Chanhassen. The first is that builders who are
informed that they are over their zoning district’s hardcover limits are increasingly choosing to reconfigure driveways in
order to bring their proposed plans into compliance with City Ordinance. These reconfigured driveways sometimes
taper so quickly down to the city’s 10foot minimum width that there is not enough space provided to park cars in
front of the garage or the movements needed to enter and exit the garage are impractical.
The second concern is that the driveway ordinance’s minimum 10foot side yard setback is more restrictive than the
Residential Low and Medium (RLM) Density District’s 5foot side yard setback. This creates a situation where many
lots with RLM zoning have garages located five feet from the side lot line, which necessitates an exemption from the
city’s 10foot side yard driveway setback.
The final issue is that the driveway ordinance has been amended seven times since it was adopted in 2001. Many of
these amendments added new subsections but did not place them under headings linking them to existing provisions.
This has led to the current driveway ordinance being difficult for residents and builders to navigate.
Staff is recommending expanding the minimum design standards to ensure that driveways provide sufficient offstreet
parking and allow for functional movements, that the driveway setback be made commensurate to the property’s
underlying zoning for the first 20 feet, and that the section be reorganized to improve readability.
Ordinance in Brief:
Reorganize 13 existing subsections into six grouped subsections, rewrite subsections to improve clarity, require
driveways to meet district’s side yard setback for the first 20 feet of length, allow reduction of setback to 5 feet after
the first 20 feet of length or if exemption criteria can be met, require, subject design of required turnarounds to
approval by City Engineer, and require driveway to be the width of garage doors for the first 18 feet of length.

In some cases, these developments may increase traffic to the pointwhere the level of service of the surrounding roads is decreased.The best way to determine the impact of a development on the surrounding roads is to conduct a traffic study;however, the city’s site plan application requirements and review standards do not require applicant’s to provide atraffic study. Staff is proposing amending this section of the City Code to require the inclusion of traffic studies with siteplan applications when requested by staff and to add maintaining an acceptable road system level of service to theevaluation standards. This change would ensure staff can obtain sufficient information to evaluate the impact ofproposed developments on the city’s road system and that the City Council can act to protect the public interest insituations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the road system’s level of service.Ordinance in Brief:Add “traffic study, if requested by the city” to the list of site plan application requirements and list “maintaining anacceptable road system level of service” to the site plan evaluation standards.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that the proposed amendment could apply to all siteplan throughout the city. Staff clarified that while there are currently situations where we can require traffic studies; thisis not always the case. The Planning Commission asked how traffic studies were conducted. Staff responded that theywere conducted by a consultant and the Engineering Department typically determined the relevant radius. The PlanningCommission asked when applicants would be informed of this requirement. Staff responded that it would typically bepart of the application, but that if the Planning Commission or City Council decided they required additionalinformation during the review process, it could also be required at that point. The Planning Commission clarified thatthis would apply to all zoning districts. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.Adopting Zoning Standards for Solar Energy SystemsReport Summary:The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified supporting residential and business solar development that maintainscommunity character as a natural resources goal, and listed amending the City Code to include definitions, permitteduses and plans, and access to sunlight as it pertained to solar energy as a policy. The Natural Resources Chapter ofthe Comprehensive Plan clarifies this policy by noting that the city has prioritized tree planting which means publicinvestment in solar energy systems will be limited; however, the city wishes to facilitate the use of solar energy byprivate businesses and residences.Staff has reviewed the city’s existing solar energy provisions as well as literature and model ordinances produced bythe American Planning Association, the Great Plains Institute, and other organizations, and is proposing amending theCity Code to meet the policy objective stated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment wouldallow accessory solar energy systems as a permitted use in all districts, adopt relevant definitions, encourage roofmounted systems but allow for groundmounted systems where roofmounted systems are impractical, ensure thatsolar energy systems do not create nuisance glare, and establish basic design, installation, and permitting requirementsfor these systems. Staff is not proposing expanding the City Code’s existing provisions that protect access to solarresources, as the existing code strikes a good balance between solar resources and other considerations. Staff is notproposing any restrictions on private individual’s ability to enter into solar easements or adopt more restrictivestandards that they feel are better suited to their neighborhood.Ordinance in Brief:List accessory solar energy systems as permitted accessory use in all zoning districts, define terms related to accessorysolar energy systems, establish standards for accessory solar energy systems, establish permit and installationrequirements for accessory solar energy systems, and establish provisions for addressing abandoned accessory solarenergy systems.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for an estimate as to how large a solar energy systemwould need to be to power an average sized house; staff estimated around 500 square feet but cautioned that it wouldbe highly variable. The Planning Commission asked how staff would ensure installers where reputable or qualified; staffclarified that the building permit process would require a licensed contractor. The Planning Commission clarified thatthe systems could be attached to the grid. The Planning Commission clarified that the zoning ordinance currentlyprohibits utility scale solar energy production. The Planning Commission asked what would happen if a building with aflat roof that was at its zoning district’s maximum height wanted to add solar panels; staff stated they would need avariance, but that if it was reasonably designed, staff would likely support the request. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Correct a Typographical Error in the Interim Use StatuteReport Summary:The intent of Interim Use Permits (IUP) is to permit temporary uses with set expiration points. The expiration point iseither a fixed date or period, for example 10 years from the issuance of the IUP, or a set event, for example theextension of urban services to the site. Both types of termination conditions are present within IUPs issued by the city;however, the general issuance standards for interim use permits section 20322(4) reads, “The date of event that willterminate the use can be identified with certainty.” As written, this would mean the city should only issue IUPs withfixed dates of termination, for example the 10year anniversary of the permit, and not for future events of an uncertaindate, like the availability of urban services.In order to be consistent with how IUPs have been issued and with the intent of IUPs, this section should read “dateor event”. Staff believes the use of the word “of” rather than “or” is the result of a typing error during codification, andproposes fixing the error. As noted earlier, this language would be consistent with the existing termination clauses aswell as the intent of the IUP ordinance.Ordinance in Brief:Change text to read “date or event”.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Restrict Merchandise Sold at Temporary and Special Events to Goods Normally Sold on SiteReport Summary:In 2017, the city revised the section of the City Code that governs temporary and special events to better addresslarger events and races. As part of these revisions, the city switched from listing “criteria for approval” to stating“grounds for denial”. The goal of this shift was to provide stronger legal justification for denying permits that the citybelieved could negatively impact adjacent parcels or overtax municipal infrastructure and resources. Most of thepreviously listed criteria for approval were rephrased and incorporated into the grounds for denial; however, therequirement that only merchandise normally sold or stocked by the occupants could be sold or promoted wasoverlooked.Due to this omission, properties with commercial zoning could theoretically apply for a temporary outdoor eventpermit to allow a business to set up a pop up shop in its parking lot. Since the goal of the ordinance is to allow forChanhassen’s businesses and organizations to promote themselves and host community events, rather thanaccommodating transient merchants, staff feels this is contrary to the intent of the ordinance. Staff proposes adding theomitted provision limiting merchandise sales to the section of the Code regulating temporary and special events.Ordinance in Brief:Add a requirement limiting goods sold at temporary and special events to those normally sold on site, with anexception for goods clearly accessory to the proposed event.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that private residential events were not covered bythis ordinance. The Planning Commission clarified that charities could fundraise by selling items. The PlanningCommission asked if a fee would be involved in event permits; staff stated that there is a $50 temporary event fee and$100 special event fee. The Planning Commission asked how people knew they needed permits; staff responded thatbusinesses were aware of the ordinance and that staff had sent out informational letters in the past. Staff clarified thatthe proposed ordinance only addressed the types of goods sold during events. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Adopt Minimum Driveway Configuration StandardsReport Summary:There have been several ongoing issues with driveways in the City of Chanhassen. The first is that builders who areinformed that they are over their zoning district’s hardcover limits are increasingly choosing to reconfigure driveways inorder to bring their proposed plans into compliance with City Ordinance. These reconfigured driveways sometimestaper so quickly down to the city’s 10foot minimum width that there is not enough space provided to park cars infront of the garage or the movements needed to enter and exit the garage are impractical.The second concern is that the driveway ordinance’s minimum 10foot side yard setback is more restrictive than theResidential Low and Medium (RLM) Density District’s 5foot side yard setback. This creates a situation where manylots with RLM zoning have garages located five feet from the side lot line, which necessitates an exemption from thecity’s 10foot side yard driveway setback.The final issue is that the driveway ordinance has been amended seven times since it was adopted in 2001. Many ofthese amendments added new subsections but did not place them under headings linking them to existing provisions.This has led to the current driveway ordinance being difficult for residents and builders to navigate.Staff is recommending expanding the minimum design standards to ensure that driveways provide sufficient offstreetparking and allow for functional movements, that the driveway setback be made commensurate to the property’sunderlying zoning for the first 20 feet, and that the section be reorganized to improve readability.Ordinance in Brief:Reorganize 13 existing subsections into six grouped subsections, rewrite subsections to improve clarity, requiredriveways to meet district’s side yard setback for the first 20 feet of length, allow reduction of setback to 5 feet after
the first 20 feet of length or if exemption criteria can be met, require, subject design of required turnarounds to
approval by City Engineer, and require driveway to be the width of garage doors for the first 18 feet of length.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked how this would affect existing properties; staff noted
that most existing were either legal nonconforming or had received permission for their configuration from the
Engineering department. The Planning Commission asked how nonfunctional driveways or overbuilt driveways were
approved; staff explained that things are changed in the field or builders propose a poor design that technically meets
code and staff has to approve it. The Planning Commission asked what happens when things are not built to plan; staff
clarified that after the fact enforcement actions were needed, which are difficult. The Planning Commission clarified
that permeable pavers could be used for the driveway. The Planning Commission asked what a zoning permit is; staff
responded it is a code check for improvements not covered by the State Building Code. The Planning Commission
voted unanimously to recommend approval.
Require SingleFamily Homes to have Walkways and Concrete Pads for Stairs and Landings
Report Summary:
Sidewalks and entrance/stair landings are typical features of homes; however, there are instances where they are
omitted from proposed projects in order to meet the requirements of the city’s zoning code. When these features are
not included, homeowners often discover that they are necessary and have them constructed after the fact. Often these
afterthefact additions are constructed without a permit and do not meet the requirements of the City Code, which
can lead to the city having to take enforcement actions. Staff is proposing amending the Code to require applicants to
include these features in order to give staff the ability to require the revision of projects that have a high potential of
causing future problems.
Ordinance in Brief:
Require at a minimum a fourfoot wide walkway of improved surface connecting driveway and main entrance of home
and require at a minimum a threefoot wide landing for exterior stairs or access doors, unless a tenfeetbytenfeet
patio is already required.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission expressed concern that the use of the word assume would
not actually require walkways to be built and the use of the word deep could be confusing. The Planning Commission
clarified that these features could be construed using pavers and expressed concern that woodchips or nonhardscape
would be used. The Planning Commission asked how lot cover limits were determined; staff responded it was derived
from DNR standards and based on local characteristics. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval with amendments to address their concerns.
Changes from Staff Report:
Planning Commission amended the proposed ordinance to make it clear that these features were required, to require
that walkways be constructed using bituminous, concrete or other hard surface material, and to clarify the required
dimensions of landings.
Adopt Airport Zoning Standards
Report Summary:
A portion of the City of Chanhassen is located within the Flying Cloud Airport’s Airspace Zoning Limit. Structures and
trees within this area are subject to the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance’s provisions limiting the maximum
height of structures and trees within the airspace zoning limit and requiring airport zoning permits for the construction of
structures above a certain height within the airspace zoning limit. The Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance lists the
City of Chanhassen as the party responsible for administering and enforcing its provisions within the city’s municipal
boundaries. In order to fulfill this responsibility, the city must adopt the provisions of the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning
Ordinance as part of its City Code. Staff believes that the most efficient way to do this is to establish an Airport Zoning
Overlay District and adopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by reference as additional standards for
properties within the overlay district. Staff believes this will have a minimal impact on the city.
Ordinance in Brief:
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORTMonday, December 9, 2019SubjectOrdinance XXX: Amendments to Chanhassen City Code and Approval of Summary OrdinanceSectionCONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.7.Prepared By MacKenzie YoungWalters, AssociatePlanner File No: PROPOSED MOTION“The Chanhassen City Council approves an Ordinance amending Chapters 2, 4, and 20 of the Chanhassen CityCode, and approves a Summary Ordinance for Publication Purposes.”City Council approval of the proposed amendments requires a simple majority vote of the City Council and approvalof the summary ordinance requires a fourfifths vote of the entire Council.Approval requires a 4/5 Vote.SUMMARYOn November 19, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to take public input on the proposed changesto Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code. No member of the public spoke on the following proposed amendments:Remove Standard Specification and Detail Plate Requirement for Permeable Paver SystemsClarify Language Governing Recreational Beach LotsRequire Traffic Studies as Part of Site Plan ReviewsAdopt Zoning Standards for Solar Energy SystemsCorrect a Typographical Error in the Interim Use StatuteRestrict Merchandise Sold at Temporary and Special Events to Goods Normally Sold on SiteAdopt Minimum Driveway Configuration StandardsRequire SingleFamily Homes to have Walkways and Concrete Pads for Stairs and LandingsAdopt Airport Zoning StandardsRemove Obsolete Parking Lot Configurations GraphicThe Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt these ordinances amendingChapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code.A brief summary of each item discussed and a synopsis of the Planning Commission’s discussion is provided below.The full staff report for each item is provided as an attachment.In addition to the above items, the following proposed amendments to Chapters 2 and 4 of the Chanhassen City Codeare proposed:Reconcile Vote Requirements for Removal of CommissionersEstablish Electronic Message Center (ECM) Sign FeeUpdate Base Minimum Building Valuation StandardsSince these amendments do not involve Chapters 18 or 20 of the City Code, a public hearing is not required and theydid not go before the Planning Commission. A brief summary of these items is provided below, and a full staff reportfor each of these items is provided as an attachment.Note: A proposed amendment to ban the keeping of birds of prey was also discussed during the November 19, 2019Planning Commission meeting; however, since the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Councildeny the amendment, staff has withdrawn the proposed amendment.DISCUSSIONSUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTSRemoving Standard Specification and Detail Plate Requirement for Permeable Paver SystemsReport Summary:The city’s pervious paver ordinance requires pervious pavement systems be designed in compliance with standardsestablished by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and follow the current version of the City ofChanhassen Standard and Specification and Detail Plates (City Standards). When staff investigated creating CityStandards for pervious pavers, staff discovered that due to the variety of pervious pavement systems and evolvingnature of pervious pavement technology, it would be cost and time prohibitive to create and maintain comprehensiveCity Standards. Additionally, City Standards are typically only used for public improvements or private projects thataffect the public rightsof way. Requiring a purely private pervious pavement system to adhere to a City Standardwould not be in keeping with how other private improvements are treated.Since the ICPI maintains a library with over 60 details and specifications for pervious pavement systems and theordinance already requires that pervious pavement systems be designed in accordance ICPI standards, staff believes itis unnecessary and redundant to create our own City Standards.Ordinance in Brief:Delete requirement to follow the current version of the City of Chanhassen Standard Specification and Detail Platesfrom the previous paver ordinance.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for clarification on the structure and nature of ICPI.The Planning Commission expressed concern that quality materials be used to construct Pervious Pavement Systems.The Planning Commission asked if the city was planning to have more pervious pavement system and staff clarifiedthat it was up to individual residents to determine if they wanted to install these systems. The Planning Commissionvoted unanimously to recommend approval.Clarify Language Governing Recreational Beach LotsReport Summary:Several sections of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards for recreational beach lots, particularly the sectiongoverning overnight storage and mooring, are poorly structured. In its current state, it is difficult to read and hard todetermine what provisions apply and in what circumstances they apply. The city frequently receives calls from HOAsinterested in amending their CUP or clarifying their understanding of what is and is not permitted, and the confusingstructure of this section of the code can sometimes exacerbate rather than resolve their confusion. This section alsocontains an outofdate reference that should be updated to continually reference the most recently adoptedcomprehensive plan. Finally, this section outlines a policy allowing adjacent lots under a common ownership to consolidatetheir docks that is confusing and unnecessary.Staff proposes to rewrite sections of the Code to clarify the intent of the portions that routinely cause confusion. Thesubstance and nature of the provisions governing recreational beach lots should not be changed, other than updating theoutofdate reference and removing unnecessary provisions, but phrasing and organization should be reworked in thehopes of creating a more userfriendly section.Ordinance in Brief:Replace reference to Year 2000 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary with reference to most recentlyadopted MUSA, organize subsection 7 into separate clauses addressing docking, storage on racks, and sailboatmoorings, rewrite subsections 8 and 9 to improve clarity, place provision governing daytime docking and seaplanes inits own subsection, and rewrite subsection 15 to improve clarity.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission verified that the proposed changes would not alter theexisting storage limits. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.Require Traffic Studies as Part of Site Plan ReviewsReport Summary:As the city builds out, there are fewer undeveloped sites available. This, combined with the fact that some of thebuildings in the city’s older developments are nearing the end of their functional life span, means that there is increasedinterest in redeveloping existing sites. Many times this redevelopment takes the form of a new use that has the potentialto generate more traffic than the preexisting use. In some cases, these developments may increase traffic to the pointwhere the level of service of the surrounding roads is decreased.The best way to determine the impact of a development on the surrounding roads is to conduct a traffic study;however, the city’s site plan application requirements and review standards do not require applicant’s to provide atraffic study. Staff is proposing amending this section of the City Code to require the inclusion of traffic studies with siteplan applications when requested by staff and to add maintaining an acceptable road system level of service to theevaluation standards. This change would ensure staff can obtain sufficient information to evaluate the impact ofproposed developments on the city’s road system and that the City Council can act to protect the public interest insituations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the road system’s level of service.Ordinance in Brief:Add “traffic study, if requested by the city” to the list of site plan application requirements and list “maintaining anacceptable road system level of service” to the site plan evaluation standards.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that the proposed amendment could apply to all siteplan throughout the city. Staff clarified that while there are currently situations where we can require traffic studies; thisis not always the case. The Planning Commission asked how traffic studies were conducted. Staff responded that theywere conducted by a consultant and the Engineering Department typically determined the relevant radius. The PlanningCommission asked when applicants would be informed of this requirement. Staff responded that it would typically bepart of the application, but that if the Planning Commission or City Council decided they required additionalinformation during the review process, it could also be required at that point.

Ordinance in Brief:
Establish Airport Zoning Overlay District for the portion of the city within Flying Cloud Airport’s Airspace Zoning
Limit, subject properties within the Airport Zoning Overlay District to Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance, and
adopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by reference.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval.
Remove Obsolete Parking Lot Configuration Graphic
Report Summary:
During the review of a recently proposed parking lot plan, Engineering staff noticed that there was a discrepancy
between the tables and clarifying graphic in section 201118. The graphic seemed to indicate that an aisle width of
13.5 feet would be permitted; however, the text of the ordinance requires a 15foot aisle width. The City Attorney
advised staff that the most recent ordinance would take precedence and recommended that the conflicting graphic be
removed.
Ordinance in Brief:
Remove conflicting graphic.
Public Hearing:
No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval.
Reconcile Vote Requirements for Removal of Commissioners
Report Summary:
Currently, two conflicting sections of the City Code govern the removal of appointed commissioners. In the event that
the City Council ever feels it necessary to remove an appointed commissioner, it is important that the City Code
outline a clear and unambiguous process. Staff recommends reconciling the passages in favor of the majority vote
provision.
Ordinance in Brief:
Delete language requiring a fourfifths vote of the City Council to remove commissioners and relocate language on
announcing and filling vacancies from Section 246.15 to Section 246.
Establish Electronic Message Center (ECM) Sign Fee
Report Summary:
While reviewing the City Code, staff discovered that the fee listed for electronic message centers (EMC) on the Planning
Department’s Application Fee Schedule and Sign Permit section of the website was not listed under the section of the
City Code that establishes permit fees. The city charges $100.00 for the review of permanent signs; however, due to the
increased scrutiny associated with EMCs, the city has been charging $300.00 for the review of signs including an EMC.
Staff has been unable to determine if or when the $300.00 fee was formally established or removed.
Due to the unique standards and additional review associated with EMCs, staff recommends formally adopting the
$300.00 fee that is currently being charged.
Ordinance in Brief:
Add a $300.00 Electronic Message Center Fee to list of sign permit fees.
Update Base Minimum Building Valuation Standards
Report Summary:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORTMonday, December 9, 2019SubjectOrdinance XXX: Amendments to Chanhassen City Code and Approval of Summary OrdinanceSectionCONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.7.Prepared By MacKenzie YoungWalters, AssociatePlanner File No: PROPOSED MOTION“The Chanhassen City Council approves an Ordinance amending Chapters 2, 4, and 20 of the Chanhassen CityCode, and approves a Summary Ordinance for Publication Purposes.”City Council approval of the proposed amendments requires a simple majority vote of the City Council and approvalof the summary ordinance requires a fourfifths vote of the entire Council.Approval requires a 4/5 Vote.SUMMARYOn November 19, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to take public input on the proposed changesto Chapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code. No member of the public spoke on the following proposed amendments:Remove Standard Specification and Detail Plate Requirement for Permeable Paver SystemsClarify Language Governing Recreational Beach LotsRequire Traffic Studies as Part of Site Plan ReviewsAdopt Zoning Standards for Solar Energy SystemsCorrect a Typographical Error in the Interim Use StatuteRestrict Merchandise Sold at Temporary and Special Events to Goods Normally Sold on SiteAdopt Minimum Driveway Configuration StandardsRequire SingleFamily Homes to have Walkways and Concrete Pads for Stairs and LandingsAdopt Airport Zoning StandardsRemove Obsolete Parking Lot Configurations GraphicThe Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt these ordinances amendingChapter 20 of the Chanhassen City Code.A brief summary of each item discussed and a synopsis of the Planning Commission’s discussion is provided below.The full staff report for each item is provided as an attachment.In addition to the above items, the following proposed amendments to Chapters 2 and 4 of the Chanhassen City Codeare proposed:Reconcile Vote Requirements for Removal of CommissionersEstablish Electronic Message Center (ECM) Sign FeeUpdate Base Minimum Building Valuation StandardsSince these amendments do not involve Chapters 18 or 20 of the City Code, a public hearing is not required and theydid not go before the Planning Commission. A brief summary of these items is provided below, and a full staff reportfor each of these items is provided as an attachment.Note: A proposed amendment to ban the keeping of birds of prey was also discussed during the November 19, 2019Planning Commission meeting; however, since the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Councildeny the amendment, staff has withdrawn the proposed amendment.DISCUSSIONSUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTSRemoving Standard Specification and Detail Plate Requirement for Permeable Paver SystemsReport Summary:The city’s pervious paver ordinance requires pervious pavement systems be designed in compliance with standardsestablished by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) and follow the current version of the City ofChanhassen Standard and Specification and Detail Plates (City Standards). When staff investigated creating CityStandards for pervious pavers, staff discovered that due to the variety of pervious pavement systems and evolvingnature of pervious pavement technology, it would be cost and time prohibitive to create and maintain comprehensiveCity Standards. Additionally, City Standards are typically only used for public improvements or private projects thataffect the public rightsof way. Requiring a purely private pervious pavement system to adhere to a City Standardwould not be in keeping with how other private improvements are treated.Since the ICPI maintains a library with over 60 details and specifications for pervious pavement systems and theordinance already requires that pervious pavement systems be designed in accordance ICPI standards, staff believes itis unnecessary and redundant to create our own City Standards.Ordinance in Brief:Delete requirement to follow the current version of the City of Chanhassen Standard Specification and Detail Platesfrom the previous paver ordinance.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for clarification on the structure and nature of ICPI.The Planning Commission expressed concern that quality materials be used to construct Pervious Pavement Systems.The Planning Commission asked if the city was planning to have more pervious pavement system and staff clarifiedthat it was up to individual residents to determine if they wanted to install these systems. The Planning Commissionvoted unanimously to recommend approval.Clarify Language Governing Recreational Beach LotsReport Summary:Several sections of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards for recreational beach lots, particularly the sectiongoverning overnight storage and mooring, are poorly structured. In its current state, it is difficult to read and hard todetermine what provisions apply and in what circumstances they apply. The city frequently receives calls from HOAsinterested in amending their CUP or clarifying their understanding of what is and is not permitted, and the confusingstructure of this section of the code can sometimes exacerbate rather than resolve their confusion. This section alsocontains an outofdate reference that should be updated to continually reference the most recently adoptedcomprehensive plan. Finally, this section outlines a policy allowing adjacent lots under a common ownership to consolidatetheir docks that is confusing and unnecessary.Staff proposes to rewrite sections of the Code to clarify the intent of the portions that routinely cause confusion. Thesubstance and nature of the provisions governing recreational beach lots should not be changed, other than updating theoutofdate reference and removing unnecessary provisions, but phrasing and organization should be reworked in thehopes of creating a more userfriendly section.Ordinance in Brief:Replace reference to Year 2000 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary with reference to most recentlyadopted MUSA, organize subsection 7 into separate clauses addressing docking, storage on racks, and sailboatmoorings, rewrite subsections 8 and 9 to improve clarity, place provision governing daytime docking and seaplanes inits own subsection, and rewrite subsection 15 to improve clarity.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission verified that the proposed changes would not alter theexisting storage limits. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.Require Traffic Studies as Part of Site Plan ReviewsReport Summary:As the city builds out, there are fewer undeveloped sites available. This, combined with the fact that some of thebuildings in the city’s older developments are nearing the end of their functional life span, means that there is increasedinterest in redeveloping existing sites. Many times this redevelopment takes the form of a new use that has the potentialto generate more traffic than the preexisting use. In some cases, these developments may increase traffic to the pointwhere the level of service of the surrounding roads is decreased.The best way to determine the impact of a development on the surrounding roads is to conduct a traffic study;however, the city’s site plan application requirements and review standards do not require applicant’s to provide atraffic study. Staff is proposing amending this section of the City Code to require the inclusion of traffic studies with siteplan applications when requested by staff and to add maintaining an acceptable road system level of service to theevaluation standards. This change would ensure staff can obtain sufficient information to evaluate the impact ofproposed developments on the city’s road system and that the City Council can act to protect the public interest insituations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the road system’s level of service.Ordinance in Brief:Add “traffic study, if requested by the city” to the list of site plan application requirements and list “maintaining anacceptable road system level of service” to the site plan evaluation standards.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that the proposed amendment could apply to all siteplan throughout the city. Staff clarified that while there are currently situations where we can require traffic studies; thisis not always the case. The Planning Commission asked how traffic studies were conducted. Staff responded that theywere conducted by a consultant and the Engineering Department typically determined the relevant radius. The PlanningCommission asked when applicants would be informed of this requirement. Staff responded that it would typically bepart of the application, but that if the Planning Commission or City Council decided they required additionalinformation during the review process, it could also be required at that point. The Planning Commission clarified thatthis would apply to all zoning districts. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.Adopting Zoning Standards for Solar Energy SystemsReport Summary:The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified supporting residential and business solar development that maintainscommunity character as a natural resources goal, and listed amending the City Code to include definitions, permitteduses and plans, and access to sunlight as it pertained to solar energy as a policy. The Natural Resources Chapter ofthe Comprehensive Plan clarifies this policy by noting that the city has prioritized tree planting which means publicinvestment in solar energy systems will be limited; however, the city wishes to facilitate the use of solar energy byprivate businesses and residences.Staff has reviewed the city’s existing solar energy provisions as well as literature and model ordinances produced bythe American Planning Association, the Great Plains Institute, and other organizations, and is proposing amending theCity Code to meet the policy objective stated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment wouldallow accessory solar energy systems as a permitted use in all districts, adopt relevant definitions, encourage roofmounted systems but allow for groundmounted systems where roofmounted systems are impractical, ensure thatsolar energy systems do not create nuisance glare, and establish basic design, installation, and permitting requirementsfor these systems. Staff is not proposing expanding the City Code’s existing provisions that protect access to solarresources, as the existing code strikes a good balance between solar resources and other considerations. Staff is notproposing any restrictions on private individual’s ability to enter into solar easements or adopt more restrictivestandards that they feel are better suited to their neighborhood.Ordinance in Brief:List accessory solar energy systems as permitted accessory use in all zoning districts, define terms related to accessorysolar energy systems, establish standards for accessory solar energy systems, establish permit and installationrequirements for accessory solar energy systems, and establish provisions for addressing abandoned accessory solarenergy systems.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked for an estimate as to how large a solar energy systemwould need to be to power an average sized house; staff estimated around 500 square feet but cautioned that it wouldbe highly variable. The Planning Commission asked how staff would ensure installers where reputable or qualified; staffclarified that the building permit process would require a licensed contractor. The Planning Commission clarified thatthe systems could be attached to the grid. The Planning Commission clarified that the zoning ordinance currentlyprohibits utility scale solar energy production. The Planning Commission asked what would happen if a building with aflat roof that was at its zoning district’s maximum height wanted to add solar panels; staff stated they would need avariance, but that if it was reasonably designed, staff would likely support the request. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Correct a Typographical Error in the Interim Use StatuteReport Summary:The intent of Interim Use Permits (IUP) is to permit temporary uses with set expiration points. The expiration point iseither a fixed date or period, for example 10 years from the issuance of the IUP, or a set event, for example theextension of urban services to the site. Both types of termination conditions are present within IUPs issued by the city;however, the general issuance standards for interim use permits section 20322(4) reads, “The date of event that willterminate the use can be identified with certainty.” As written, this would mean the city should only issue IUPs withfixed dates of termination, for example the 10year anniversary of the permit, and not for future events of an uncertaindate, like the availability of urban services.In order to be consistent with how IUPs have been issued and with the intent of IUPs, this section should read “dateor event”. Staff believes the use of the word “of” rather than “or” is the result of a typing error during codification, andproposes fixing the error. As noted earlier, this language would be consistent with the existing termination clauses aswell as the intent of the IUP ordinance.Ordinance in Brief:Change text to read “date or event”.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Restrict Merchandise Sold at Temporary and Special Events to Goods Normally Sold on SiteReport Summary:In 2017, the city revised the section of the City Code that governs temporary and special events to better addresslarger events and races. As part of these revisions, the city switched from listing “criteria for approval” to stating“grounds for denial”. The goal of this shift was to provide stronger legal justification for denying permits that the citybelieved could negatively impact adjacent parcels or overtax municipal infrastructure and resources. Most of thepreviously listed criteria for approval were rephrased and incorporated into the grounds for denial; however, therequirement that only merchandise normally sold or stocked by the occupants could be sold or promoted wasoverlooked.Due to this omission, properties with commercial zoning could theoretically apply for a temporary outdoor eventpermit to allow a business to set up a pop up shop in its parking lot. Since the goal of the ordinance is to allow forChanhassen’s businesses and organizations to promote themselves and host community events, rather thanaccommodating transient merchants, staff feels this is contrary to the intent of the ordinance. Staff proposes adding theomitted provision limiting merchandise sales to the section of the Code regulating temporary and special events.Ordinance in Brief:Add a requirement limiting goods sold at temporary and special events to those normally sold on site, with anexception for goods clearly accessory to the proposed event.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission clarified that private residential events were not covered bythis ordinance. The Planning Commission clarified that charities could fundraise by selling items. The PlanningCommission asked if a fee would be involved in event permits; staff stated that there is a $50 temporary event fee and$100 special event fee. The Planning Commission asked how people knew they needed permits; staff responded thatbusinesses were aware of the ordinance and that staff had sent out informational letters in the past. Staff clarified thatthe proposed ordinance only addressed the types of goods sold during events. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Adopt Minimum Driveway Configuration StandardsReport Summary:There have been several ongoing issues with driveways in the City of Chanhassen. The first is that builders who areinformed that they are over their zoning district’s hardcover limits are increasingly choosing to reconfigure driveways inorder to bring their proposed plans into compliance with City Ordinance. These reconfigured driveways sometimestaper so quickly down to the city’s 10foot minimum width that there is not enough space provided to park cars infront of the garage or the movements needed to enter and exit the garage are impractical.The second concern is that the driveway ordinance’s minimum 10foot side yard setback is more restrictive than theResidential Low and Medium (RLM) Density District’s 5foot side yard setback. This creates a situation where manylots with RLM zoning have garages located five feet from the side lot line, which necessitates an exemption from thecity’s 10foot side yard driveway setback.The final issue is that the driveway ordinance has been amended seven times since it was adopted in 2001. Many ofthese amendments added new subsections but did not place them under headings linking them to existing provisions.This has led to the current driveway ordinance being difficult for residents and builders to navigate.Staff is recommending expanding the minimum design standards to ensure that driveways provide sufficient offstreetparking and allow for functional movements, that the driveway setback be made commensurate to the property’sunderlying zoning for the first 20 feet, and that the section be reorganized to improve readability.Ordinance in Brief:Reorganize 13 existing subsections into six grouped subsections, rewrite subsections to improve clarity, requiredriveways to meet district’s side yard setback for the first 20 feet of length, allow reduction of setback to 5 feet afterthe first 20 feet of length or if exemption criteria can be met, require, subject design of required turnarounds toapproval by City Engineer, and require driveway to be the width of garage doors for the first 18 feet of length.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission asked how this would affect existing properties; staff notedthat most existing were either legal nonconforming or had received permission for their configuration from theEngineering department. The Planning Commission asked how nonfunctional driveways or overbuilt driveways wereapproved; staff explained that things are changed in the field or builders propose a poor design that technically meetscode and staff has to approve it. The Planning Commission asked what happens when things are not built to plan; staffclarified that after the fact enforcement actions were needed, which are difficult. The Planning Commission clarifiedthat permeable pavers could be used for the driveway. The Planning Commission asked what a zoning permit is; staffresponded it is a code check for improvements not covered by the State Building Code. The Planning Commissionvoted unanimously to recommend approval.Require SingleFamily Homes to have Walkways and Concrete Pads for Stairs and LandingsReport Summary:Sidewalks and entrance/stair landings are typical features of homes; however, there are instances where they areomitted from proposed projects in order to meet the requirements of the city’s zoning code. When these features arenot included, homeowners often discover that they are necessary and have them constructed after the fact. Often theseafterthefact additions are constructed without a permit and do not meet the requirements of the City Code, whichcan lead to the city having to take enforcement actions. Staff is proposing amending the Code to require applicants toinclude these features in order to give staff the ability to require the revision of projects that have a high potential ofcausing future problems.Ordinance in Brief:Require at a minimum a fourfoot wide walkway of improved surface connecting driveway and main entrance of homeand require at a minimum a threefoot wide landing for exterior stairs or access doors, unless a tenfeetbytenfeetpatio is already required.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission expressed concern that the use of the word assume wouldnot actually require walkways to be built and the use of the word deep could be confusing. The Planning Commissionclarified that these features could be construed using pavers and expressed concern that woodchips or nonhardscapewould be used. The Planning Commission asked how lot cover limits were determined; staff responded it was derivedfrom DNR standards and based on local characteristics. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommendapproval with amendments to address their concerns.Changes from Staff Report:Planning Commission amended the proposed ordinance to make it clear that these features were required, to requirethat walkways be constructed using bituminous, concrete or other hard surface material, and to clarify the requireddimensions of landings.Adopt Airport Zoning StandardsReport Summary:A portion of the City of Chanhassen is located within the Flying Cloud Airport’s Airspace Zoning Limit. Structures andtrees within this area are subject to the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance’s provisions limiting the maximumheight of structures and trees within the airspace zoning limit and requiring airport zoning permits for the construction ofstructures above a certain height within the airspace zoning limit. The Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance lists theCity of Chanhassen as the party responsible for administering and enforcing its provisions within the city’s municipalboundaries. In order to fulfill this responsibility, the city must adopt the provisions of the Flying Cloud Airport ZoningOrdinance as part of its City Code. Staff believes that the most efficient way to do this is to establish an Airport ZoningOverlay District and adopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by reference as additional standards forproperties within the overlay district. Staff believes this will have a minimal impact on the city.Ordinance in Brief:Establish Airport Zoning Overlay District for the portion of the city within Flying Cloud Airport’s Airspace ZoningLimit, subject properties within the Airport Zoning Overlay District to Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance, andadopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by reference.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Remove Obsolete Parking Lot Configuration GraphicReport Summary:During the review of a recently proposed parking lot plan, Engineering staff noticed that there was a discrepancybetween the tables and clarifying graphic in section 201118. The graphic seemed to indicate that an aisle width of13.5 feet would be permitted; however, the text of the ordinance requires a 15foot aisle width. The City Attorneyadvised staff that the most recent ordinance would take precedence and recommended that the conflicting graphic beremoved.Ordinance in Brief:Remove conflicting graphic.Public Hearing:No comments from the public. The Planning Commission had no comments. The Planning Commission votedunanimously to recommend approval.Reconcile Vote Requirements for Removal of CommissionersReport Summary:Currently, two conflicting sections of the City Code govern the removal of appointed commissioners. In the event thatthe City Council ever feels it necessary to remove an appointed commissioner, it is important that the City Codeoutline a clear and unambiguous process. Staff recommends reconciling the passages in favor of the majority voteprovision.Ordinance in Brief:Delete language requiring a fourfifths vote of the City Council to remove commissioners and relocate language onannouncing and filling vacancies from Section 246.15 to Section 246.Establish Electronic Message Center (ECM) Sign FeeReport Summary:While reviewing the City Code, staff discovered that the fee listed for electronic message centers (EMC) on the PlanningDepartment’s Application Fee Schedule and Sign Permit section of the website was not listed under the section of theCity Code that establishes permit fees. The city charges $100.00 for the review of permanent signs; however, due to theincreased scrutiny associated with EMCs, the city has been charging $300.00 for the review of signs including an EMC.Staff has been unable to determine if or when the $300.00 fee was formally established or removed.Due to the unique standards and additional review associated with EMCs, staff recommends formally adopting the$300.00 fee that is currently being charged.Ordinance in Brief:Add a $300.00 Electronic Message Center Fee to list of sign permit fees.Update Base Minimum Building Valuation Standards
Report Summary:
Building permit fees are largely determined by the value of the project. When permit applicants apply for a building
permit they are required to write in a value for the work they are doing. Since this valuation determines how much their
building fee is, some contractors significantly understate the value. In instances where the number written is clearly
incorrect, staff needs to have an alternative method available to determine the value of the improvement in order to
ensure that the correct fee is paid.
Currently, the ordinance refers to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as the source staff will use to
determine minimum building valuation data; however, they do not actually provide this data. Staff is proposing that the
International Code Council’s building valuation data be used instead.
Ordinance in Brief:
Replace reference to Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry with a reference to the International Code
Council.
RECOMMENDATION
A full discussion of these items can be found in the attached staff reports. Staff recommends that the City Council
adopt an Ordinance amending Chapters 2, 4, and 20 of the City Code, and approve a Summary Ordinance for
publication purposes.

Sec. 20-266. - Recreational beach lots.
Intent. The city recognizes that the use of lakeshore as a recreational beach lot may be an
intensive use of lakeshore that may present conflicts with neighboring uses of lakeshore
or the use of other lakeshore on the same lake or the lake itself. Further, beach lots may
generate complaints if they are not maintained to the same standards as single-family
lakeshore lots. Therefore, the city requires the following conditions for recreational beach

to read as follows:
Division 10. - Accessory Solar Energy Systems
Sec. 20-1093. - Accessory Solar Energy Systems
1) Purpose. It is the intent of this section to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan
and preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community’s citizens by
facilitating the safe, effective, and efficient use of accessory solar energy systems
installed to reduce the on-site consumption of utility-supplied electric energy. The
following solar energy standards specifically implement the following goal from the
Comprehensive Plan:
a. Support residential and business solar development that maintains community
character.
2) Definitions. In this division, the following terms have the stated meanings:
“Active Solar Energy Systems” means a solar energy system whose primary
purpose is to harvest energy by transforming solar energy into another form of
energy or transferring heat from a collector to another medium using mechanical,
electrical, or chemical means.
“Building-integrated Solar Energy Systems” means an active solar energy system
that is an integral part of a principal or accessory building, rather than a separate
mechanical device, replacing or substitution or an architectural or structural
component of the building. Building-integrated systems include but are not
limited to photovoltaic or hot water solar energy systems that are contained within
roofing materials, windows, skylights, and awnings.
“Passive Solar Energy System” means a solar energy system that captures solar
light or heat without transforming it to another form of energy or transferring the
energy via a heat exchanger.
“Solar Collector” means a device, structure, or a part of a device or structure for
which the primary purpose is to transform solar radiant energy into thermal,
mechanical, chemical, or electrical energy.
“Solar Collector Surface” means any part of a solar collector that absorbs solar
energy for use in the collector’s energy transformation process. Collector surface
does not include frames, supports, and mounting hardware.
9
“Solar Energy” means radiant energy received from the sun that can be collected
in the form of heat or light by a solar collector.
“Solar Energy System” means a device or structural design feature, a substantial
purpose of which is to provide daylight for interior lighting or provide for the
collection, storage and distribution of solar energy for space heating or cooling,
electricity generating, or water heating.
3) Standards.
a. Applicability. A system is considered an accessory solar energy system only if
it supplies electrical or thermal power primarily for on-site use, except that
when a property upon which the facility is installed also receives electrical
power supplied by a utility company, excess electrical power generated and
not presently needed for on-site use may be used by the utility company.
b. Exemption. Passive or building-integrated solar energy systems are exempt for
the requirements of this section and shall be regulated as any other building
element.
c. Location.
i. Whenever practical, all accessory solar energy systems shall be
attached to a building. If not designed to be attached to a building, the
applicant shall demonstrate by credible evidence that such systems
cannot feasibly be attached to a building due to structural limitations
of the building.
ii. In residential zoning districts, no portion of any accessory solar energy
system shall be located within or above any front or side yard or
within any required setback of any property, save that they may be
located within rear yards so long as they maintain a minimum rear
setback of ten feet. Ground-mounted systems on corner lots may not
be located in any yard abutting a street.
iii. In non-residential zoning districts, ground-mounted systems must
comply with the district’s setbacks.
d. Height.
i. Building- or roof-mounted solar energy systems shall comply with the
maximum height requirements in the applicable zoning district. Roof-
mounted systems on pitched or hipped roofs may not extend above the
peak of the roof.
ii. Ground-mounted solar energy systems shall not exceed the maximum
accessory structure height within the underlying zoning district.
10
e. Glare.
i. Reflection angles from accessory solar energy system surfaces shall be
oriented away from neighboring windows.
ii. Accessory solar energy systems shall be designed and located in order
to prevent reflective glare towards adjacent street right-of-way.
f. Screening.
i. Ground-mounted solar energy systems shall be screened from view to
the extent possible without reducing their efficiency. Screening may
include walls, fences, or landscaping.
g. Design.
i. Roof-mounted solar collectors shall be flush mounted on pitched or
hipped roofs, and shall not extend beyond the exterior perimeter of the
building on which the system is mounted.
ii. Roof- and building-mounted solar energy systems shall use dark
unobtrusive colors or colors that blend with the color of the roof or
building.
iii. All exterior electrical and/or plumbing lines must be buried below the
surface of the ground and shall be placed in a conduit.
4) Permit and Installation:
a. A building permit is required and shall be obtained for any solar energy
system prior to installation.
b. If roof-mounted, documentation shall be provided verifying that the roof can
safely support the proposed system.
c. The design and installation of accessory solar energy systems shall conform to
applicable industry standards, including those of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), or other similar
certifying organizations, and shall comply with the Municipal Building Code
and with all other applicable fire and life safety requirements. The
manufacture specifications shall be submitted as part of the application.
d. All grid connected systems shall have an agreement with the relevant utility
prior to the issuance of a building permit. A visible external disconnect must
be provided if required by the utility.
5) Abandonment. If the solar energy systems remain nonfunctional or inoperative for a
continuous period of one year, the system shall be deemed to be abandoned and shall
constitute a public nuisance. The owner shall remove and recycle the abandoned system
11
at their expense after a demolition permit has been obtained. Removal includes the entire
structure including transmission equipment.
Sec. 20-1094 - 20-1100. - Reserved.
Section 30. Section 20-1118 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 20-1118. - Design of parking stalls and drive aisles.
(a) Parking spaces shall be designed in conformance with the following: parking stalls shall have
a minimum paved dimension of nine feet by 18 feet. Stall and aisle dimensions shall be as
noted below for the given angle:

locations such that their use by noncompact cars will be encouraged;
(4) The design of compact car areas shall to the maximum feasible extent be such as to
discourage their use by noncompact cars; and
(5) Compact parking stalls shall not be permitted for high turnover parking lots.
Section 31. Section 20-1122 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended to read as follows:
Sec. 20-1122. - Access and driveways.
The purpose of this section is to provide minimum design criteria, setback and slope
standards for vehicular use. The intent is to reduce interference with drainage and utility
easements by providing setback standards; reduce erosion by requiring a hard surface for all
driveways; to limit the number of driveway access points to public streets and to direct drainage
toward the street via establishment of minimum driveway slope standards. Parking and loading
spaces shall have proper access from a public right-of-way. The number and width of access
drives shall be located to minimize traffic congestion and abnormal traffic hazard. All driveways
shall meet the following criteria:
1) Setbacks: Driveways shall meet the zoning district’s required side yard setback,
except in the following circumstances:
a. Beginning 20 feet from the front property line driveways may be setback a
minimum of five feet from the side property line or the distance of the existing
drainage and utility easement on the particular lot or parcel, whichever is
greater.
b. Encroachment into a side yard drainage and utility easement must be reviewed
and approved by the city and requires an encroachment agreement.
13
c. Driveway setbacks may be reduced subject to approval by the City Engineer,
if the following criteria are met:
i. The lot frontage on a lot that accesses a cul-de-sac “bubble” or
neck/flag lot does not permit adequate driveway access width or side
yard setback;
ii. The driveway will not interfere with any existing drainage swale or
easement in which a utility is contained;
iii. An easement encroachment agreement from the Engineering
department, if required, is obtained;
iv. The driveway must be designed to maintain stormwater drainage
runoff on the property to ensure that it will not direct runoff onto
adjacent properties;
v. Snow storage may not be placed on adjacent properties; and,
vi. A minimum 5-foot side yard setback shall be maintained.
2) Separation: On corner lots, the minimum spacing between the edge of the driveway
and the corner right-of-way line shall be 30 feet.
3) Grades: Driveway grades shall be between a minimum of one-half of one percent and
a maximum of 10 percent at any point in the driveway. The City Engineer may
approve driveway grades in excess of 10 percent if they determine that extenuating
circumstances exist. Examples of extenuating circumstances include bluffs, existing
steep grades, shoreland setbacks, wetland conditions, and tree preservation.
4) Design Standards: All driveways must be constructed in accordance with current
construction requirements/details. Additionally, they must adhere to the following
standards:
a. Within the right of way, driveways should access city streets at 90 degrees.
b. Driveways shall be surfaced with bituminous, concrete or other hard surface
material, as approved by the city engineer.
c. Accessory driveways shall be maintained as natural grass or be constructed of
bituminous, concrete, or paver surface.
d. For A-2, PUD-R for single-family detached houses, RR, RSF, R-4 and RLM
for single-family detached residential uses, the width of the driveway access
shall not exceed 24 feet at the right-of-way line. Inside the property line of the
site, the maximum driveway width shall not exceed 50 feet. For flag/neck lots,
the lot coverage of the driveway access within the neck portion of flag/neck
lots shall not exceed 33 percent of the neck's area.
e. For all uses other than those specified in paragraph (d) above, the width of the
driveway access shall not exceed 36 feet in width measured at the roadway
right-of-way line.
f. For all lots, no portion of the right-of-way may be paved except that portion
used for the driveway.
14
g. For all lots, the minimum driveway width shall not be less than 10 feet.
h. A turnaround is required on a driveway entering onto a state highway, county
road or collector roadway as designated in the comprehensive plan, and onto
city streets where this is deemed necessary by the City Engineer, based on
traffic counts, sight distances, street grades, or other relevant factors. If the
Engineer requires a turnaround, this requirement will be stated on the building
permit and the design of the turnaround must be approved by the City
Engineer.
i. The driveway must be at least the width of the garage door(s) for a distance of
18 feet starting at the garage door and extending outwards.
5) Number of Driveway accesses within residential districts are limited as follows:
a. One driveway access is allowed from a single residential lot to the street.
b. Separate driveways serving utility facilities are permitted.
6) Permits Required:
a. A driveway permit is required when any alteration is made to a driveway in
the public right-of-way.
b. A zoning permit is required for any other driveway work not in the public
right of way to determine if the improvement will meet zoning ordinance
requirements.
Section 32. Section 20-1565 to Section 20-1580 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended

SUBJ: Pervious Pavement Systems - Design Standards
SUMMARY:
City Ordinance prescribes the use ofthe City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail
Plates for the design of pervious pavement systems. To date, the adoption of detail plates and
standard specifications for pervious pavement systems into City Standards has not occurred.
One reason for this is that the intent and use of City Standards is to create universal design criteria
for the implementation and construction of public works projects. In addition, these standards are
typically utilized for the build-out of infrastructure intended for the city to own and maintain, or
private projects that have an impact on public rights-of-way. As pervious pavement systems are not
an adopted practice for public projects. it was never necessary to have such City Standards.
Along with requiring that designs meet City Standards, City Ordinance also requires pervious
pavement systems be designed to the lnterlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) standards,
which houses over 60 details and multiple specifications for pervious pavement systems. In
conjunction with these resources, ICPI also supplies information on finding certified installers,
distributors, manufactures, suppliers; a database oftechnical papers on pervious pavement systems;
other technical resources such as construction tolerances and recommendations; and technical
specifi cation guidelines designed for govemment agencies.

MEMORANDTJM
ISSUE:
City Ordinance requires engineered pervious pavement systems to be designed in accordance with
the current version of the City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail Plates (City
Standards). Currently, the city has no set standards.
Furthermore, there are many different types of pervious pavement systems. For example, there are
pervious pavements, porous pavemenls, pervious pavers, plastic/concrete grids, and amended soils,
just to name a few. Because of the plethora of systems, it would take considerable resources for staff
to keep City Standards up to date with best practices for every type.

Given the above difficulties and the fact that the ICPI maintains an extensive catalog ofpervious
pavement designs, which are already referenced by City Ordinance, staff proposes removing the
Ordinance's reference to City Standards. This will eliminate the need for the city to develop and
maintain a redundant set of standards.
Pervious pavement systems are suitable for a wide variety of private residential, commercial and
industrial applications. However, these systems require both proper installation and continual
maintenance to function properly. Staff addressed maintenance concems by requiring owners enter
into a maintenance agreement with the City, and addressed proper installation by requiring they meet
both City Standards and ICPI design standards. As staff worked to develop City Standards for
pervious pavement systems, it was determined that adopting independent City Standards would be
an unnecessary duplication ofthe work already done by ICPI.
In addition, City Sundards are generally reserved for the engineered specifications and details for
publicly owned infrastructure, thus, staff believes that it would be onerous to continually update and
track best practices and standards for private systems. Additionally, when it was investigated to
augment staff time by having a consultant develop these standards, it became clear that developing
and maintaining appropriate standards for the various types of pervious pavement systems would be
cost prohibitive. An initial quote for producing one detail plate specific to pervious pavers was
$5,000.00.
As ICPI has already established and continually maintains and updates industry standards and detail
plates for pervious pavement systems, staffbelieves it would be prudent to utilize ICPI's resources.
This is similar to how the city utilizes MnDOT Specifications for construction projects or Ten State
Standards for water and sewer specifications.
Staff recommends Altemative 2. Staff believes that rather than having two design standards for
pervious pavement systems (one by ICPI and one by the city), it would be more reasonable to have
only one.

The proposed amended pervious pavement ordinance would read as follows:
Sec. 20-921. - Pervious pavement.
Properly designed, installed, and maintained pervious pavements have the capacity to allow for
stormwater detention and/or infiltration. When not properly designed, installed, and maintained
pervious pavements fail to facilitate the detention and/or infiltration of stormwater. Additionally,
pervious pavements contribute to the creation ofheat islands and do not provide the same surface
water management benefrts as native vegetative cover. For these reasons, it is necessary to regulate
the lot coverage, desigrr, installation, and maintenance of these systems.
(l) Lot coverage.' Pervious pavements are considered to constitute lot coverage; however, when
built to the standards espoused in this section they do not constitute impervious surfaces.
Systems not built to the standards espoused in this section are considered to constitute
impervious surfaces.
(2) Localion restricl ions :
a. Pervious pavements may not be installed in areas where trash or garbage receptacles
will be stored.
(3) Design and installarion:
a. A building permit is required for the instillation ofpervious pavement systems.
b. Pervious pavement systems must be designed to provide for rate and volume control
for the first half-inch oftreatment area @
Treatment area includes the total
square footage ofthe pervious pavement system plus the total square footage of
impervious surface draining directly to the pervious pavement system.
c. To meet the city's definition of pervious pavement, the system must: 1) be designed in
compliance with standards established by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute
(ICPI); 2) be installed by an ICPI certified installer; and 3) be designed to meet or
exceed the standards listed in paragraph (3)b.
d. The city engineer may permit pervious pavement technologies other than permeable
interlocking concrete pavers, so long as the city engineer determines: I ) they are
fimctionally equivalent or better; 2) the system is desigred in compliance with
accepted guidelines and is installed by an appropriately certified installer; and 3) the
system will meet or exceed the standards listed in paragraph (3)b.
(4) Maintenance:
a. The owner ofa pervious paver system must enter into a maintenance agreement with
the city to ensure the system performs as designed in perpetuity. This agreement must
conform to the manufactures guidelines, and stipulate the frequency and type of
maintenance to be performed,

(5) District restrictions:
a. Planned Unit Developments Residential Districts (PUDR) are limited to the lot
coverage specified by their ordinance and/or compliance table. For PUDRs created
before June 1 1 , 201 8, the terms hardcover, hard surface, impervious surface, and
similar phrases, shall be understood to mean lot cover inclusive ofboth pervious
pavements and impervious surfaces, and in no circumstance shall the failure of the

Standards for Beach Lots
ISSUE
The section ofthe City Code governing recreational beach lots can be difficult to read and
interpret, contains outdated references, and provisions that are not consistent with current city
policy.
Several sections ofthe Conditional Use Permit (CUP) standards for recreational beach lots,
particularly the section goveming ovemight storage and mooring, are poorly structured. ln its
current state, it is difficult to read and hard to determine what provisions apply and in what
circumstances they apply. The city fiequently receives calls from HOAs interested in amending
their CUP or clariffing their understanding of what is and is not permitted, and the confusing
structure ofthis section ofthe code can sometimes exacerbate ralher than resolve their confusion.
This section also contains an out-of-date reference that should be updated to continually reference
the most recently adopted comprehensive plan. Finally, this section outlines a policy allowing
adjacent lots under a common omership to consolidate their docks that is confi.rsing and
unnecessary.
Staff proposes to rewrite sections ofthe code to clarifo the intent ofthe portions that routinely cause
confirsion. The substance and natue ofthe provisions goveming recreational beach lots should not
be changed, other than updating the out-ofdate reference and removing ururecessary provisions, but
phrasing and organization should be reworked in the hopes of creating a more user-friendly section.
Sec. 1-2. - Rules of Construction and Definitions. Defines the term "Recreational beach lot".
Sec.20-266. Recreational beach lots. Details the intent ofand standards for recreational beach
lots.

SUMMARY
RELEVANT CITY CODE
Planning Commission
Standards for Beach Lots
November 19,2019
Page 2
Ordinance 80, passed in 1986, established the framework ofour existing zoning code and lists
recreational beach los as a conditional use within residential districts. No standards, other than
those generally goveming conditional uses, were put in place, nor was the term recreational
beach lot defined.
Ordinance 80-A, passed in 1987, defined the term "Recreational beach lot" and established limits
for urban and rural recreational beach lots.
Ordinance 83, passed in 1988, recodified the City Code into its current organizational structure
and adopted standards goveming recreational beach lots. These standards have not been
significantly changed since their adoption.
Beach lots with non-conforming use permits tend to be older, often created by provisions within
a subdivision's development contract or, more rarely, they are the result ofa use ofthe parcel
predating city ordinances. Between 1992 and 1993, city staff undertook a project to determine
what rights these prop€rties had and to determine the extent of their non-conformities. For those
properties, a non-conforming use permit was issued by the City Council to formalize how they
were being used and to prevent any expansion ofthe non-conformity beyond its verifiable
historic level.
Staffis often contacted by homeowners associations or property owners that have recreational
beach lot rights granted by non-conforming use permits or conditional use permits to ask if they
can modifo or expand their beach lot. Many times, they are interested in adding docks or
increasing the amount of ovemight watercraft storage on the site. Due to the way portions of the
existing ordinance run together and the fact that related provisions are spread throughout the
section, they often struggle to decipher what is and is not permitted. The difficulty in interpreting
this section also means it is challenging for staff to help them understand what the ordinance
permits.
Stalfs intent is to clearly break up and outline the ovemight storage provisions, simpliff
language and sentence structure, and cluster related provisions to make this portion ofthe Code
more accessible to residents and assist staffin explaining how the ordinance applies to a given
2
Ordinance 377, passed in 2004, moved the standard goveming recreational beach lots to section
20-266 (ftom section 20-263), and removed the 1987 date from the "grandfathered clause" in 20-
266(12).lt also fixed a formatting error where one of the subsections was not properly
numbered.
ANALYSIS
There are approximately 26 recreational beach lots in the city. About halfofthese beach lots
operate under a conditional use permit and the other half operate under a non-conforming use
permit. Typically, the beach lots operating under a conditional use permit were created after
1986 and they meet the requirements ofthe existing conditionals use permit ordinance.

property. Staffdoes not intend to substantively change the ordinance. Since all recreational
beach lots are govemed by either a non-conforming use permit or a conditional use permit, any
alteration to the content ofthis section would either create a legal non-conformity or require the
amendment of the various beach lot permits. This would become especially problematic for the
beach lots operating under non-conforming use permits, as large amounts of time, research,
written affidavits, inspections, and, in some cases, legal action was required to establish those
permits. Additionally, many HOAs have painstakingly created systems to allow for fair use of
their beach lots and any alteration ofthe standards goveming these lots would have a significant
impact on them and their members. Finally, recreational beach lots can have significant impact
on other lake users and altering their standards without extensive public input would be
inappropriate.
Staffis proposing two minor changes to the content ofthe existing ordinance. Currently, the
ordinance references the 2000 Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) with language
indicating that it anticipates this line will be expanded. Currently, the city's comprehensive plan
shows the 2020 MUSA line encompassing the city and this has been the case since the last
comprehensive plan was adopted. Staffproposes amending the recreation beach lot ordinance to
reference the MUSA established by the most recently adopted comprehensive plan. This update
will remove any confusion caused by the outdated reference and remove the need to update the
ordinance every time a new comprehensive plan is adopted.
The other change is removing the subsection that reads:
'No dock shall encroach upon any dock set-back zone, provided, however, that the owner ofany
two abutting lakeshore sites may erect one common dock within the dock setback zone
appurtenant to the abutting lakeshore sites, ifthe common dock is the only dock on the two
lakeshore sites and if the dock otherwise conforms with the provisions ofthis chapter."
Not only is this provision confusing and poorly constructed, it does not serve a function.
Theoretically, this provision would allow a homeowners associated (HOA) that owned two
adjacent parcels of riparian land to consolidate both parcel's docking rights into a single dock
located on the lot line. In practice, the city would not consent to the creation ofa new subdivision
where the association beach lot was spread over two adjacent parcels and there would be no
benefit to the HOA in having two parcels rather than one. Additionally, in a situation where the
HOA did own two parcels and wanted to place the dock on the lot line, staffcould
administratively create a zoning lot to allow this placement under the code's other provisions.
Finally, staffis aware of only one existing beach lot that is comprised of two parcels, and this
beach lot is a non-conforming use that would not be impacted by this change. Staff proposes
rewriting this subsection to read, "No dock shall encroach upon any dock set-back zone."
l)Do nothing. Staffis experienced at reading the ordinance in its current form, and has
documentation of previous interpretations to support its application of the ordinance.

ALTERNATIVES
2)Amend Sec. 20-266 to improve readability, update the out-of-date reference, and remove
unnecessary provisions.
Staff recommends Altemative 2. The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 20-266. - Recreational beach lots.
lntenl. he city recognizes that the use of
lakeshore bymCtiple-pa*ies as a recreational beach lot may be an intensive use of
lakeshore that may present conflicts with neighboring uses of lakeshore or the use of
other lakeshore on the same lake or the lake itself. Further, beach lots may generate
complaints ifthey are not maintained to the same standards as single-family lakeshore
lots. Therefore, the city requires the following conditions for recreational beach lots, in
addition to such other conditions that may be prescribed in the permit:
(1) Recreational beach lots shall have at least 200 feet of lake frontage.
(2) For purposes ofthis subsection, the following terms shall mean those beach lots
which are located either within (urban) or outside (rural) the Year2000
Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary as depicted in the most recently
adopted comprehensive plan.
(3)
a. Urban recreationol beach /or.'At least 80 percent ofthe dwelling units,
which have appurtenant rights ofaccess to any recreational beach lot, shall
be located within 1,000 feet ofthe recreational beach lot.
b. Rural recreational beach /ot: A maximum of 50 dwelling units (including
riparian lots) shall be permitted appurtenant rights ofaccess to the
recreational beach lot. Upon extension of the Metropolitan Urban Service
Area boundary into the rural are4 the urban recreational beach lot
standards will apply.
Except as specifically provided herein, no structure, ice fishing house, cnmper,
trailer, tent, recreational vehicle, shelters (except gazebos) shall be erected,
maintained, or stored upon any recreational beach lot. For the purpose of this
section, a gazebo shall be defined as, "a freestanding roofed structure which is
open on all sides."
No boat, trailer, motor vehicle, including but not limited to cars, trucks,
motorcycles, motorized mini-bikes, all-terrain vehicles or snowmobiles shall be
driven upon or parked upon any recreational beach lot.
No recreational beach lot shall be used for ovemight camping.

MacKenzie Young-Walters, Associate Planner
November 19,2019
Site Plan - Traffrc Impact
DATE:
SUBJ:
The section ofthe City Code that regulates site plans does not require a traffic study or explicitly list
traffic impacts under its evaluation standards.
SUMMARY
As the city builds out, there are fewer undeveloped sites available. This combined with the fact that
some of the buildings in the city's older developments are nearing the end oftheir functional life
span means that there is increased interest in redeveloping existing sites. Many times this
redevelopment takes the form ofa new use that has the potential to generate more traffrc than the
preexisting use. In some cases, these developments may increase traffic to the point where the level
of service ofthe surrounding roads is decreased.
The best way to determine the impact of a development on the surrounding roads is to conduct a
traffic study; however, the city's site plan application requirements and review standards do not
require applicant's to provide a traffic study. Staff is proposing amending this section of the City
Code to require the inclusion oftraffic studies with site plan applications when requested by staff
and to add maintaining an acceptable road system level of service to the evaluation standards. This
change would ensure staff can obtain sufficient information to evaluate the impact ofproposed
developments on the city's road system and that the City Council can act to protect the public
interest in situations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the road system's level ofservice
Chapter 20 - Zontng, Article II. - Administration and Enforcement, Division VI. - Site Plan Review

built environment. To accomplish these goals, the City Code specifies what materials should be
submitted with a site plan application and the standards that a site and building plan should meet.
Despite the fact that the ordinance's intent statement implies that offsite impacts on neighboring
properties and traffic should be addressed, the application requirements and standards within the site
plan ordinance are very focused on the site itself. This intemal orientation is because applicants only
have control over property they own, so the review process fiocuses on how they are developing their
property and how it accesses the public right ofway and surrounding parcels. Additionally, the city
has historically been engaged in greenfield development. In these cases, large projects that could
create significant traffic impacts were required to either dedicate right-of-way and construct public
streets or build private streets to accommodate their intemal traffic circulation. These types oflarge
developments were also guided to locate near collector or arterial roadways that could absorb the
traffic generated by the developments.
As some ofthe city's older commercial and industrial buildings age, there is increased interest in
redeveloping these properties. Often times the proposed redevelopment is a more intense use than
the existing building could accommodate, and, in some cases, the traffic infrastructue that was
constructed as part of the initial development may not be able to adequately support the new use.
Due to the intemal focus ofthe site plan ordinance, it is difficult to evaluate and address these types
of offsite impacts.
Staff first became aware of this concem several years ago when a number ofolder properties
redeveloped to incorporate drive-thru facilities. The city addressed concerns over drive-through
stacking and impacts by amending the City Code in 2017 to classifu all drive-throughs as conditional
uses, and adding a provision to the condition use permit (CUP) standards for drive-throughs
allowing the city to require a vehicle stacking study as part ofthe CUP application. This amendment
has allowed staff to more effectively evaluate and respond to subsequent requests to construct new
drive+hrough facilities within the city.
With the continued interest in redeveloping existing sites, it is important to ensure that the city has
access to sufficient information to evaluate traffic impacts for all types of uses, not just drive-
thoughs. Staffis proposing adding a provision to the site plan application requirements allowing
staff to require traffic studies and adding maintaining an acceptable road system level ofservice to
the site plan evaluation standards. This change would ensure staff can obtain suffrcient information
to evaluate the impact of proposed developments on the city's road system and that the City Council
can act to protect the public interest in situations where a proposal will unacceptably degrade the
road system's level of service.

Comprehensive Plan.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified supporting residential and business solar development that
maintains community character as a natural resources goal, and listed amending the City Code to
include definitions, permitted uses and plans, and access to sunlight as it pertained to solar energy as
a policy. The Natural Resources Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan clarifies this policy by noting
that the city has prioritized tree planting which means public invesunent in solar energy systems will
be limited; however, the city wishes to facilitate the use of solar energy by private businesses and
residences.
Staff has reviewed the city's existing solar energy provisions as well as literature and model
ordinances produced by the American Planning Association, the Great Plains Institute, and other
organizations, and is proposing amending the City Code to meet the policy objective stated in the
2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment would allow accessory solar energy systems as
a permitted use in all districts, adopt relevant definitions, encourage roof-mounted systems but allow
for ground-mounted systems where roof-mounted systems are impractical, ensure that solar energy
systems do not create nuisance glare, and establish basic design, installation, and permitting
requirements for these systems. Staffis not proposing expanding the City Code's existing
provisions that protect access to solar resources, as the existing code strikes a good balance between
solar resources and other considerations. Staffis not proposing any restrictions on private
individual's ability to enter into solar easements or adopt more restrictive standards that they feel are
better suited to their neighborhood.

Issue I: Ovemiew on solor energ) systems
Solar energy systems can be active or passive. Passive systems utilize solar energy without
transforming it to another form ofenergy or transferring it via a heat exchanger. Examples ofa
passive system would be skylights to naturally light the interior ofa house, large south facing
windows to allow the sun to help heat the house, or utilizing construction materials that absorb
sunlight and radiates it into the interior ofthe house. Since passive solar energy systems are integral
design elements ofa building, they are not addressed in this report. Their use would be governed by
the building code and general zoning provisions applicable to all buildings.
Active solar energy systems fall into two major categories: 1) photovoltaic systems that convert
sunlight into energy, and 2) solar thermal systems that use solar energy to create heat. Photovoltaic
systems can be mounted at a fixed angle or placed on tracking devices that follow the sun. These
systems can be ofvastly different scales ranging from large solar farms that produce enough power
to supply a community to small residential systems that partially meet the needs of a single-family
home. Within communities such as Chanhassen, they most often take the form of relatively modest
roof-mounted systems designed to provide energy for on-site use.
Solar thermal systems are often used to heat water as part of residential hot water systems. Such
systems can also be used for space heating/cooling or heating spas and swimming pools. These
systems do not typically generate electrical energy, but rather reduce the amount ofelectricity
needed to heat water or a building.

Issue 2: llhot scale/lype of syslems should be allowed?
Solar energy systems can be ofvastly different scale. Large solar energy systems designed to
produce significant amounts ofenergy for sale to utility companies are not currently permitted by the
city's zoning code, nor does the 2040 Comprehensive Plan contemplate permitting such uses. Staffs
proposed ordinance would only apply to accessory solar energy systems where the energy generated
is primarily intended for on-site use.
From a zoning perspective, the differences between the various types ofactive solar energy systems
are not significant enough to require separate regulations. In instances where system design has
extemal impacts, for example using solar reflectors rather than collectors, general design provisions
limiting placement, height, and glare should be sufficient to prevent negative impacts. Staff believes
it is appropriate to use broad language and definitions that can encompass all types ofactive solar
energy systems so that overly specific language does not unintentionally prevent the use ofnew
innovations in solar energy systems. As was previously noted, passive/building inte$ated solar
energy systems would continue to be govemed by the state building code and general zoning
provlslons.
Issue 3: Howfilhere should lhese systems be allowed?
The 2040 Comprehensive Plans goal of supporting residential and business solar development is best
achieved by classi$ing accessory solar energy systems as a permitted use in all ofthe city's zoning
districts. This classification will allow property owners in the city the option of installing accessory
solar energy systems that comply with the city's zoning code by applying for and receiving a
building permit. Staffbelieves that classiffing these systems as conditional uses, which would
require public hearings and City Council approval, would subject them to an excessive and
unnecess:rry level of scrutiny.
Issue 1: Potenlial impact on neighbors
The most common concem that municipalities have about allowing solar energy systems in urban
environments is the possibility ofthe solar panels creating glare that annoys the neighbors or poses a
danger to motorists. Cunently, the city's Planning Department reviews building permits for solar
energy systems in order to ensue that their proposed location will comply with the glare provisions
of the city's nuisance ordinance. To date, all of the residential solar energy systems that have been
installed in the city have been roof-mounted systems, which, by virtue oftheir elevation and
orientation, have a low potential for affecting neighboring properties or motorists. The city has not
received any complaints about glare generated from solar energy systems.
Generally, glare is not a signihcant issue for systems using solar collectors since they are designed to
absorb sunlight rather than reflect it. Solar collectors are constructed ofdark-colored materials and
covered with anti-reflective coatings in order to minimize the reflected light since reflected light
represents a loss ofoperation efficiency. The glare produced by solar collectors is similar to that
produced by a glass window, and since panels are angled towards the sun, most ofthe light reflect is
3
Planning Commission
Accessory Solar Energy Systems
November 19,2019
Page 4
directed up and away. Additionally, when glare is generated, it tends to be for a relatively short
duration due to both the daily and seasonal movements ofthe sun.
Some solar energy systems do utilize reflectors rather than solar collectors. These systems do have
the potential to reflect enough light to cause glare issues. In most cases, these issues can be mitigated
through a combination of location, screening, and system design.
Staff proposes to address potential glare issues by requiring solar energy systems to orient reflection
angles away from neighboring windows, requiring systems to be located where they will not direct
glare towards public right ofways, expressing a preference for roof-mounted systems, and requiring
screening for ground-mounted systems.
The other potential impact ofaccessory solar energy systems is aesthetic. Some neighbors may find
these systems to be visually obtrusive or unsightly, or be concemed that the proliferation ofthese
systems could significantly alter the character oftheir neighborhood.
These types of concems can be applied to any other type of accessory use in residential
neighborhoods, and accessory solar energy systems should be subject to the same types ofprovisions
that govem other accessory structures. Staffproposes requiring roof- and building-mounted systems
to use dark unobtrusive colors or colors that blend into roofor building that the system is attached
too, and requiring ground-mounted systems to be located in the rear ofthe structure outside ofany
required setbacks. A screening requirement is also proposed for ground-mounted systems and these
systems would be subject to their District's maximum accessory structure height.
Issue 5: Should Homeownerc Associalions be able to restrict these systems?
Cities have the option to adopt language preventing homeowners associations (HOA) from adopting
more restrictive requirements for solar energy systems than are present in the City Code. The
advantage ofthese tlpes ofprovisions is that they ensure that interested citizens have the ability to
install solar energy systems meeting the city's guidelines regardless of what neighborhood they
happen to live in. These provisions can also avoid the conflicts that can arise when a resident buys
and installs a system after receiving a permit from the city, only to have the HOA inform them that
the HOA's bylaws do not allow the system in question. It should be noted that the city is often
unaware of HOA restrictions and that it is up to the HOAs to notify residents of their rules and, if
necessary, enforce their regulations.
The downsides to these types of provisions is that they can be seen as govemment overreach and
preempting local control. Some residents feel that they and their neighbors should be able to
determine what types ofaccessory uses are suitable for their neighborhood. It should be noted that
an amendment preventing more restrictive requirements would not just prevent an HOA from
banning solar energy systems, it would also prevent them from exercising more moderate limits such
as establishing higher aesthetic criteria, requiring additional screening, or imposing minimum
efficiency standards for solar energy systems.

Issue 6: Should lhe cily guarantee solar access?
Minnesota law allows for the creation ofsolar easements that protect a property's solar access tn
perpetuiry. Typically, these easements prevent adjacent properties from building structures or
planting vegetation that would block sunlight from reaching a solar energy system. Some
communities have adopted ordinances that allow them to require developers to enter into solar
easements as a condition ofa PUD, subdivision, or conditional use permit. A few cities throughout
the nation have adopted provisions guaranteeing solar access throughout their communities.
Currently, Chanhassen requires subdivisions to take potential solar energy design features into
account, lists not resulting in the destruction or damage ofsolar access as a condition for granting
conditional use permits, and requires commercial, industrial, office-institutional, and multi-family
developments to consider solar effects in their site design. The city's current approach requires staff
and developers to be mindful of potential impact of development on solar resources, but does not
prioritize solar resources over other natural resources.
Statutory provisions or solar easements ensuring access to solar resources do guarantee that the
functionality of an installed solar energy system will not be impaired by future development, but
they can also come into conflict with other environmental resources. For example, an already
existing tree could grow to height where it begins to shade a solar collector or new homeowner may
find they are unable to plant trees due to a neighbor's solar energy system. In these cases, blanket
provisions protecting solar access for the installation ofa new solar energy system may create
conflicts with pre-existing trees.
The city has chosen to prioritize tree cover in its 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and for this reason, staff
does not propose adopting any new Code provisions guaranteeing solar access or requiring solar
easements. Private citizens would still have the right to purchase or grant solar easements to
guarantee permanent solar access for their solar energy systems.
Staff proposes allowing HOAs and similarly empowered neighborhood level organizations to
determine what, if any, additional requirements are appropriate for their community.
ALTERNATIVES
l) Do nothing. The glare ordinance and state building code provide sufficient guidance to allow
roof-mounted systems in residential districts.
2) Amend the City Code to include definitions, standards, and list accessory solar energy
systems as permitted uses in all districts.

2) DeJinitions,In this division, the following terms have the stated meanings:
"Active Solar Energr Systems" means a solar energr system whose primary
purpose is to harvest enerry by transforming solar enerry into another form of
enerry or transferring heat from a collector to another medium using
mechanical, electrical, or chemical means.
"Building-integrated Solar Enerry Systems' means an active solar enerry
system that is an integral part of a principal or accessorJ building rather than a
separate mechanical device, replacing or substitution or an architectural or
structural component of the building. Building-integrated systems include but
are not limited to photovoltaic or hot water solar energr systems that are
contained within roofing materials, windows, skylights' and awnings.
"Passive Solar Enerry System" means a solar enerry system that captures solar
light or heat without transforming it to another form of enerry or transferring
the enerry via a heat exchanger.
"Solar Collector'means a device, structure, or a part ofa device or structure for
which the primary purpose is to transform solar radiant energi into thermal,
mechanical, chemical, or electrical energr.
"Solar Collector Surface" means any part of a solar collector that absorbs solar
enerry for use in the collector's ener5/ transformation process. Collector surface
does not include frames, supports, and mounting hardware.
"Solar Enerry" means radiant enerry received from the sun that can be
collected in the form of heat or light by a solar collector.
"Solar Energr System" means a device or structural design feature, a substantial
purpose of which is to provide daylight for interior lighting or provide for the
collection, storage and distribution ofsolar enerry for space heating or cooling,
electricity generating, or water heating.
3) Standards.
a, Applicability. A system is considered an accessory solar enerry system only if
it supplies electrical or thermal power primarily for on-site use, except that
when a property upon which the facility is installed also receives electrical
power supplied by a utility company, excess electrical power generated and
not presently needed for on-site use may be used by the utility company.

Section 20-322(4) reads, "The date ofevent that will terminate the use can be identified with
certainty." This section should read "date or event".
In 1990, the city created interim use permits (lUP) and began classifoing uses that it desired to be
temporary in nature as interim uses. The purpose of IUPs are to accommodate uses that are
curently appropriate to an area, but which the city anticipates will not be appropriate in the
future. The main difference between an IUP and a conditional use permits (CUP) is that a CUP
will continue to be in effect so long as the use is maintained, whereas IUPs have built in
expiration clauses.
ANALYSIS
The intent of IUPs are to permit temporary uses with set expiration points. The expiration point
is either a fixed date or period, for example l0 years from the issuance of the IUP, or a set event,
for example the extension ofurban services to the site. Both types of termination conditions are
present within IUPs issued by the City; however, the general issuance standards for interim use
permits section 20-322(4) reads. "The date ofevent that will terminate the use can be identified
with certainty." As written, this would mean the city should only issue IUPs with frxed dates of
termination, for example the 1O-year anniversary ofthe permit, and not for future events ofan
uncertain date, like the availability of urban services.

Temporary Events - Allowable Merchandise
FROM:
SUBJ:
ISSUE
When the temporary sales and events ordinance was updated in 2017, the prohibition on selling
merchandise not normally stocked by the occupant ofthe premises was removed. This created
the potential for pop up retail businesses to operate under temporary event permits within
commercial disticts.
In2017, the city revised the section ofthe City Code that governs temporary and special events
to better address larger events and races. As part ofthese revisions, the city switched from listing
"criteria for approval" to stating "grounds for denial". The goal of this shift was to provide
stronger legal justification for denying permits that the city believed could negatively impact
adjacent parcels or overt.x municipal infrastructure and resources. Most ofthe previously listed
criteria for approval where rephrased and incorporated into the grounds for denial; however, the
requirement that only merchandise normally sold or stocked by the occupants could be sold or
promoted was overlooked.
Due to this omission, properties with commercial zoning could theoretically apply for a
temporary outdoor event permit to allow a business to set up a pop up shop in its parking lot.
Since the goal of the ordinance is to allow for Chanhassen's businesses and organizations to
promote themselves and host community events, rather than accommodating transient merchants,
staff feels this is contrary to the intent ofthe ordinance. Staff proposes adding the omitted
provision limiting merchandise sales to the section ofthe Code regulating temporary and special
events.

Sec. 20-964. - Temporary outdoor events, sidewalk sales, seasonal sales, and special events.
Establishes the intent oftemporary and special event ordinance, permit requirements for events,
application process, grounds for denial, permit conditions, and provisions for administration and
enforcement of the ordinance.
Amendmenl Hislory
Ordinance 80 passed in 1986 established the framework for the existing zoning code and listed
temporary outdoor display of merchandise for sale as a conditional use within commercial
districts. Granting temporary sales permit required Council action and no standards beyond those
associated with general conditional use permits (CUP) were established.
Ordinance 83 passed in 1988 reorganized the City Code, established a definition for temporary
outdoor sales and established CUP standards for them in section 20-290. These new standards
took into account traffic and parking impact and allowed for the administrative review of
temporary sales permits. Both retail promotions and produce stands were allowed under this
ordinance.
Ordinance 243 passed in 1995 amended section 20-290 to provide ajustification for regulating
temporary sales, to stipulate the required permit application process, establish criteria for
approval, list the permitted tnes ofsales, and stipulate the general conditions that were placed
upon these permits. One ofthe criteria for approval was that only merchandise normally sold or
stocked by the occupant on the subject premises could be sold.
Ordinance 377 passed in 2004 relocated section 20-290 to section 20-312 and temporary outdoor
sales were moved from conditional to permitted accessory uses within commercial districts. A
section was also added further regulating the location ofdisplays associated with temporary
events.
Ordinance 5 1 1 passed in 20 I 0 relocated section 20-3 I 2 to section 20-964 and expanded the
section to explicitly address temporary outdoor events, seasonal and sidewalk sales activates
rather than just temporary outdoor sales.

Ordinance 619 passed in 2017 expanded the section to encompass special events and to require
race addendums for events leaving the applicant's prop€rty. Temporary events and sales were
added to both the industrial office park and office institutional district's list of permitted
accessory uses. This section ofthe Code was significantly altered to include unique provisions
and requirements for temporary sales, seasonal sales, and special events. The criteria for
approval section was replaced with grounds for denial section. The limitation ofsales to
merchandise normally sold and stocked by the occupant on the subject premises was not
retained.

Note: These standards have been relocated within the City Code several times, which makes it
extremely challenging to trace the history ofthese provisions. Staff has done its best to note the
relevant changes, but some amendments may have been missed.
The intent ofthe city's special and temporary event ordinance is to allow local businesses and
organizations the opportunity to promote themselves or organize community events that require
the temporary use ofan outdoor location. In 1986, the ordinance was originally designed to
accommodate weekend promotions and sidewalk sales; however, in 1988 it was it was
subsequently expanded to accommodate and regulate seasonal produce stands. In 1995, a formal
permitting process and prohibition on the sale ofmerchandise not normally sold on site was
established.
As business started to engage in more promotional events that did not neatly fall into the
categories of retail promotions or seasonal produce stands, the ordinance was revised in 2010 to
allow for more general temporary outdoor events as well as seasonal and sidewalk sales. The
prohibition on outside merchandise remained as the intent was still to allow an existing business
to promote itself, rather than permit transient merchants to operate within the city.
In 2017, the city noticed a significant increase in the number of permit applications for races and
walks. The city realized that the existing temporary event ordinance was not designed to evaluate
the impact that large events that left the applicant's property could have adjacent parcels and the
city's trail, sidewalk, and road system. Additionally, several organizations were hosting large
events with thousands of attendees that were far beyond the scope that had been anticipated by
earlier ordinances. In response to this, the city rewrote the temporary and special event ordinance
to create three categories ofevent permits, a race addendum, and establish criteria for the denial
of permits. Most of the preexisting limitations on permits where carried over; however, the
prohibition on the sale of merchandise not normally sold on site was not.
This prohibition was not carried over because staffbelieved that the prohibition on activities not
permitted by zoning or other statute was suffrcient, and because ofthe potential for desired
temporary and special events to include the incidental sale ofgoods. For example, a bank's open
house may feature a food truck or a church's charity walk might include t-shirt sales. Staff felt
that this increased flexibility was especially desirable for special events, particularly those hosted
by non-profits that typically had no on-site commercial activity.
Unfortunately, by not including this prohibition, staff undermined the intent ofthe ordinance.
Without the restriction to goods typically sold on site, pop-up tent vendors and otler transient
merchants could be permitted by ordinance. For example, a gas station could apply for a
temporary event permit to allow an outside merchant to set up a weekend t-shirt stand in their
parking lot. Since 1995, it has been the explicil intent ofthe temporary and special event
ordinance to prohibit pop-up parking lot stands.
3
ANALYSIS
Staff believes that a criterion for denial should be added to the section ofthe City Code
regulating temporary and special events that prohibits the sale of merchandise not normally sold
on the property, with an exemption for seasonal sales and goods accessory to the event.
Structuring the prohibition in this manner will prohibit transient merchants from operating under
a temporary event permit, but will allow for food trucks and limited sales associated with special
events. It will also accommodate concession sales at events hosted by non-profit organizations,
like churches and schools, which typically do not sell merchandise on site. Finally, seasonal sales
would continue to be allowed, accommodating traditional community fixtures like produce
stands and Christmas tree lots.
Staff feels the above proposal will balance providing some additional flexibility in permitted
event activities with prohibiting pop up parking lot sales.
ALTERI{ATIVES
I ) Do nothing. The city rarely receives these types of requests, and business owners are
typically leery of leasing portions oftheir parking lots to unaffiliated entities.
2) Amend Sec. 20-964 to include a prohibition on sales of merchandise not normally sold by
the occupants of the premises, with exceptions for the sale ofgoods that are clearly
accessory to the proposed event.
Staff recommends Altemative 2. The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec.20-964. - Temporary outdoor events, sidewalk sales, seasonal sales and special events
(7) Grounds for deniol. A sales or event permit application may be denied if based on the
application and other relevant information, the city finds that:
a. Information contained in the application or otherwise submiued by the applicant is false
or insufficient to allow for an effective evaluation ofthe proposed sale or event.
b. The applicant fails to provide required or requested supplemental information after
having been notified by the city that additional documentation is required.
c. The applicant fails to agree to all conditions and terms of permit.
d. The applicant has outstanding fees due to the city, unresolved code enforcement or
noncompliant building permit issues, has violated the terms and conditions ofa
previously issued sale or event permit, or has had a previously issued sale or event
permit revoked by the city.
e. The type of sale or event is not permitted by zoning or other statute.

MEMORANDUM

Driveway Standards
FROM:
DATE:
SUBJ:
The city's minimum driveway standards are not sufficient to ensure that functional driveways are
installed, nor do the required side yard setbacks align with some ofthe city's zoning districts.
Additionally, the existing driveway ordinance contains redundancies and should be reorganized to
improve clarity.
SUMMARY
There have been several ongoing issues with driveways in the City of Chanhassen. The first is that
builders who are informed that they are over their zoning district's hardcover limits are increasingly
choosing to reconfigure driveways in order to bring their proposed plans into compliance with City
Ordinance. These reconfigured driveways sometimes taper so quickly down to the city's l0-foot
minimum width that there is not enough space provided to park cars in fiont of the garage or the
movements needed to enter and exit the garage are impractical.
The second concem is that the driveway ordinance's minimum l0-foot side yard setback is more
restrictive than the Residential Low and Medium (RLM) Density District's S-foot side yard setback.
This creates a situation where many lots with RLM zoning have garages located hve feet from the
side lot line, which necessitates an exemption from the city's lO-foot side yard driveway setback.
The final issue is that the driveway ordinance has been amended seven times since it was adopted in
2001. Many ofthese amendments added new subsections but did not place them under headings
linking them to existing provisions. This has led to the current driveway ordinance being difficult for
residents and builders to navigate.

ISSUE
Staff is recommending expanding the minimum design standards to ensure that driveways provide
sufficient off-streel parking and allow for functional movements, that the driveway setback be made
commensurate to the property's underlying zoning for the first 20 feet, and that the section be
reorganized to improve readability.

Sec. 20-908. - Exempts driveways from all yard setbacks.
Sec. 20-l122. - Access and driveways: Establishes the design criteria, standards, and setbacks that
govem all driveways within the city.
Amendment History
l) Ord. 117 passed in 1990 created Sec. 20-1122 and required proper accesses with width and
number of access drives to minimize traffic congestion and hazard (Note: This section was a
relocation of virtually identical provisions created by Ord. 80 in 1986.)
2) Ord. lzA passed in 1991 amended Sec. 20-908 1o allow driveways in any required yard.
3) Ord. 330 passed in 2001 created the base of the existing ordinance. It established that
driveways could be setback five feet from the side yard after the first 20 feet. Existing design
standards, reduction/encroachment provisions, and access limitations created.
4) Ord. 377 passed in 2004 established the Residential Low and Medium Density (RLM)
District, which had altemating s-foot side yard setbacks.
5) Ord. 409 passed in 2006 clarified that a l0-foot setback existed for the first 20 feet.
6) Ord.423 passed in 2006 amended RLM setbacks to be five feet on the garage side and l0
feet on the house side with a minimum separation of l5 feet between structures.
7) Ord. 452 passed in 2007 established additional design criteri4
8) Ord. 507 passed in 2010 tweaked language regarding encroachment agreements, elaborated
criteria for reducing driveway setbacks, and stated permit requirements.
9) Ord. 612 passed in 2015 established criteria for permitting the City Engineer to allow
driveways with grades over l0 percent.
l0) Ord. 6t9 passed in 2017 limited maximum impervious surface of driveway within flag lots to
33 percent.
I 1) Ord. 628 passed in 2017 replaced the term impervious surface with lot coverage.
Issue I: Selbacks
The first ordinance addressing driveway setbacks was passed in l99l and allowed them to be placed
within any required yard setback. This essentially meant that driveways could be placed up to the
property line, unless a drainage and utility easement was present. In 2001, the driveway ordinance
was amended to state that driveway setbacks could be reduced to five feet after the first 20 feet from
the road or if circumstances warranted. The verbatim minutes associated with this amendment stated
that the Planning Commission was trying to balance allowing residents to place parking pads for
boatVtrailers alongside their garage with not having driveways, especially those associated with side
loading garages, paved right up to the lot line. In 2006, the ordinance was further amended to clarify
that a l0-foot setback existed for the first 20 feet from the road, since the original language did not
actually state what setback, ifany, existed for the first 20 feet of driveway length.

Page 3
Currently, all properties in the city are subject to the same driveway setbacks, regardless oftheir
underlying zoning district. Driveways are required to be setback 10 feet from the side yard for the
first 20 feet from the road after which the setback may be reduced to five feet or the width ofthe
propeny's drainage and utility (D&U) easement, whichever is greater. The Code does allow
driveway setbacks to be reduced with the approval ofthe City Engineer ifcertain criteria are met;
however, one ofthe criteria is lot frontage offa cul-de-sac or neck/flag lot that does not permit
adequate access width while meeting the side yard setback. Provisions are also made for granting
encroachment agreements into the side yard D&U easements.
Issues have arisen because the RLM district and several Planned Unit Development-Residential
(PUD-R) Districts have S-foot garage side setbacks combined with 25-foot front yard setbacks.
When homes are built with garages five feet from the side lot line and a 25-foot long driveway. it is
not possible to design a functional driveway that maintains a 10-foot side yard setback for 20 feet of
the driveway's 25-foot length. Stafls practice has been to have the City Engineer grant driveway
setback exemptions for these properties; however, this means these homes require additional
administrative approvals as part of the building permit process. Additionally, the exemptions clause
in the driveway setback ordinance is intended to address extenuating circumstances associated with
flaglneck and cul-de-sac lots, rather than accommodate every property in a suMivision.
This diffrculty could be addressed either by eliminating the side yard setback for driveways, by
reducing it to five feet for all properties, or by making it commensurate with a property's zoning.
The first option creates the possibility for parking areas next to the garage that go up to the lot line.
Staff regularly receives calls fiom neighbors concemed about boats, trailers, and campers being
stored near the lot line, which is allowed by ordinance, and allowing homeowners to install
permanent parking surfaces up to the lot line would likely increase the number and severity ofthese
concems. In addition, allowing the installation of pavement and associated gading right up to lot
lines has the potential to divert runoff onto neighboring properties and otherwise negatively affect an
area's drainage. Finally, installation of permanent surfaces near or on the lot line is likely to increase
the number of lot line disputes that occur, especially since the city does not conduct inspections to
verifo that structues, like parking pads, permitted through zoning permits are installed in the
proposed location.
The second option would address the issue, but would potentially cause snow storage and driveway
run offissues for Single-Family Residential (RSF) Districts and PUD-Rs designed and graded with
l0-foot side yard setbacks in mind. Reducing these properties' driveway setbacks to five feet would
also facilitate closer driveway spacing within the right ofway, and could create aesthetic situations
where two large driveways on adjacent properties could be separated by as little as l0 feet. Finally,
these properties are already allowed to reduce the driveway setback to five feet after the first 20 feet
of lengh, which permits the creation of side parking pads.
The third option would address the issue by allowing properties designed to have I S-foot rather than
20-foot separation between adjacent structures to install driveways that line up with their garages.
Issues such as the minimum distance between driveways would be mitigated by the fact that these
districts typically require altemating 5- and lO-foot setbacks. Some of the city's more recent
3
Planning Commission
Driveway Standards

Page 4
PUD-RS, like Arbor Glen, have already adopted language establishing S-foot driveway side yard
setbacks; however, an ordinance change would be needed to address older existing PUD-Rs and
properties in the RLM district.
Staffbelieves that making driveways' side yard setback commensulate with a property's zoning
district's side yard setback while continuing to allow a reduction to five feet after the first 20 feet
would be the best remedy for this issue.
Issue 2: Minimum Slandards
When builders and homeowners are told that they are at or over their property's lot cover limit, they
generally try to find areas of paved surface that can be removed rather than redesign and reduce the
size ofa proposed house or addition. Driveways are often the first target for reduction.
In some cases, the proposed driveway configurations do not accommodate off-street puuking and
create dilficulties in entering and exiting the garage. While the driveway ordinance establishes a
minimum width of 10 feet, a maximum width of 24 feet at the right of way line and a maximum
width of50 feet within the property, it does not allow staff to require a practical driveway
configuration. In several cases, prospective homebuyers have contacted the city about the possibility
ofreceiving a variance to expand driveways that were reduced to meet lot cover requirements due to
the diffrculty ofnavigating these driveways. In other cases, builders have poured driveways
significantly larger than what was proposed to address the deficiencies ofthe approved driveway.
which causes the property to exceed its lot cover limits and requires the city to take enforcement
actions.
Staffbelieves that it is reasonable to require that driveways be designed to facilitate adequate ingress
and egress to the garage and provide a number of off-street parking spaces equivalent to the number
of garage stalls. To accomplish this, stalf is proposing that driveways be required to extend the width
ofthe garage doors for a distance ofat least l8 feet before tapering down to a reduced width. Staff
chose 18 feet because it is the city code's minimum depth for a parking stall and it would provide
adequate maneuverability within the driveway.
Issue 3: Reorganizalion ond Clarity
The city's driveway ordinance has been amended seven times since it was established in 1990. The
result is an ordinance with 13 numbered subsections without headings where provisions goveming
similar elements are not always located near each other. For example, subsection I notes that its
setbacks do not apply to cul-de-sac or neck/flag lots, but the criteria for reducing those setbacks are
contained in subsection 8, and subsection 5 notes an additional setback not mentioned in subsection
l.
Staff proposes reorganizing the driveway ordinance into six main categories, each of which will
contain all of the relevant clauses. For example, the clauses currently contained in subsections l, 5,
and 8 would all be placed under a new subsection called "setbacks". Staffbelieves this will make it
4

easier for all parties to read and implement the city's driveway ordinance. The proposed formatting
and organization can be found in the recommendation section at the end ofthis report. As part ofthe
reorganization, numerous non-substantive changes to the wording and grammar ofthe provisions are
also included and redundant language has been removed.
1) Do nothing.
2) Amend the City Code to reorganize the driveway section.
3) Amend the City Code to reorganize the driveway section and update the side yard setbacks.
4) Amend the City Code to reorganize the driveway section, update the side yards setbacks, and
expand minimum design standards.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Altemative 4. Staff believes: 1) that expanded minimum design standards will
reduce the number of non-functional/impractical driveways that are installed; 2) that aligning
driveway and yard setbacks will reduce the number ofexemptions requested; and, 3) that
reorganizing the section will increase its clarity.
The proposed amended driveway ordinance would read as follows:
Sec.20-1122. - Access and driveways.
The purpose of this section is 1o provide minimum design criteria, setback and slope standards
for vehicular use. The intent is to reduce interference with drainage and utility easements by
providing setback standards; reduce erosion by requiring a hard surface for all driveways; to limit
the number of driveway access points to public streets and to direct drainage toward the street via
establishment of minimum driveway slope standards. Parking and loading spaces shall have proper
access from a public right-of-way. The number and width ofaccess &ives shall be located to

Sidewalks and Concrete PadsSUBJ:
The City Code does not require single-family homes to have sidewalks or concrete pads for stairs,
landings, and access doors, other than those from a dwelling to the outdoors. These features are
common-sense amenities that help facilitate safe ingress/egress and their subsequent addition can
cause properties to exceed their permitted lot cover.
Sidewalks and entrance/stair landings are typical features ofhomes; however, there are instances
where they are omitted fiom proposed projects in order to meet the requirements ofthe city's zoning
code. When these features are not included, homeowners often discover that they are necessary and
have them constructed after the fact. Often these after-the-fact additions are constructed without a
permit and do not meet the requirements olthe City Code, which can lead to the city having to take
enforcement actions. Staffis proposing amending the Code to require applicants to include these
features in order to give staff the ability to require the revision of projects that have a high potential
of causing future problems.

Sidewalks and Concrete Pads
November 19,2019
Page 2
Homes typically feature an improved surface connecting the driveway to front entryway. These
walkways provide easy and safe access to the home and also help keep the interior ofa house clean
by reducing the amount ofdirt brought in from crossing the yard. An entry walkway is a basic
amenity that is either constructed along with the home or added soon after the house is complete.
Over the last year, there have been a few instances where builders or homeowners have proposed
omitting or removing the entr)$/ay in order to get under the property's lot cover limits. These
proposals, while permitted by the City Code, create long-term issues for future property owners. ln
the case ofnew construction, the new owners typically try to install the sidewalk immediately after
purchasing the home. When they consult with the city, they are surprised and frustrated to discover
that the property cannot accommodate a simple paved walkway. There have also been instances
where landscapers have installed the sidewalk at the puchaser's request without pulling a permit and
the Foperty cannot pass its as-built inspection due to being over its permitted lot cover. For older
homes where applicants propose removing existing sidewalks to free up lot cover for a different
project, there have been cases where the segments have been subsequently replaced or were simply
not removed. In both ofthese situations, after-the-fact enforcement and compliance are problematic,
and homeowners are understandably frustrated to discover that their home cannot have a common
sense feature.
Historically, the city had a similar issue with patios where builders would install patio doors but not
leave sufficient lot cover available to provide for the installation ofa patio. In 2006, the city
addressed this problem by adopting Ordinance 423, which requires builders to show a ten-foot-by-
ten-foot future patio outside of access doors not connected to a sidewalk or stoop. While there are
still issues with homeowners wishing for a larger patio area than can be accommodated, this has
given the city the ability to require builders to provide for a functional patio area outside of patio
doors. This provision has resulted in significantly fewer issues caused by homeowners not having
reasonable use oftheir property due to builders constructing homes that utilize the entirety ofthe
property's available lot cover.
Issue 2: Landings
Exterior doors and stairs, such as those providing access from the ground to a deck or porch,
typically feature a small concrete landing. These landings help provide safe access to the doors and
stairs by preventing frequent travel from wearing divots in the lawn. Landings are typically small
enough that they do not create lot coverage issues; however, problems can arise when the door or
stairs are located directly adjacent to drainage and utilities easements.
)
Staffbelieves that a similar provision would help address the issues that can arise when builders and
owners try to maximize building size by removing or severely reducing the size of entryway
sidewalks. It is significantly easier to prevent lot cover issues fiom being created during the building
phase than it is to correct them after the house has been built and concrete has been poured. Staff is
recommending that a four-foot walkway be required to connect the main entrance to the driveway.
Planning Commission
Sidewalks and Concrete Pads
November 19,2019
Page 3
This is not generally an issue for doors that are part ofa principal structure within zoning districts
with l0-foot side yard setbacks, since the typical side yard drainage and utility easement is only five
feet. However, the Residential Low and Medium Density District and some Planned Unit
Developments allow for 5-foot side yard setbacks along a home's garage side. Additionally, the
city's yard regulations allow uncovered stairs and landings to project up to six feet into required
setbacks. Problems can arise when deck stairs are oriented to terminate right at the start of easements
or when access doors are located immediately adjacent to easements. In these cases, encroachment
agreements cannot always be issued for the installation of landings.
Staff has observed that when the installation of a landing is problematic, builders typically choose to
remove the landing from the proposed project; however, these features are often installed as part of
subsequent landscaping efforts without a permit. The installation of landings without encroachment
agreements or in places where encroachment agreements would not have been issued can create
issues for the city when it needs to utilize its easements. Cunently, staff does not have the ability to
require revisions to proposed access and stair locations that have a high potential to create future
problems.
Staff would prefer to be able to require buildings and stairs to be configured to accommodate the
inevitable addition ofa landing rather than attempt to conduct after-the-fact enforcement actions.
Staff is recommending that landings with a minimum depth of three feet be shown running the width
of stairs and access doors.
ALTERNATIVES
l) Do nothing. Most homes include these features, and the lot cover amounts are typically small
enough that most properties can accommodate their addition.
2) Amend Sec. 20-905 to require new detached single-family homes to include sidewalks, and
pads for stairs, landings, and access doors other than those fiom a dwelling to the outdoors.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Altemative 2. The proposed amendment would read as follows:

and in order to enforce this zoning ordinance. the city must adopt it into its zoning code.
A portion of the City of Chanhassen is located within the Flying Cloud Airport's Airspace
Zoning Limit. Structures and trees within this area are subject to the Flying Cloud Airport
Zoning Ordinance's provisions limiting the maximum height of stnrctures and trees within the
airspace zoning limit and requiring airport zoning permits for the construction of structures
above a certain height within the airspace zoning limit. The Flying Cloud Airport Zoning
Ordinance lists the City of Chanhassen as the party responsible for administering and enforcing
its provisions within the city's municipal boundaries. In order to fulfill this responsibility, the
city must adopt the provisions of the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance as part of its City
Code. Staff believes that the most efficient way to do this is to establish an Airport Zoning
Overlay District and adopt the Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance by reference as additional
standards for properties within the overlay district. Staffbelieves this will have a minimal impact
on the city.
Minnesota Statues 360.063 Airport Zoning; Authority, Procedure: Allows for the creation of
joint airport zoning boards in cases where t}te airport hazard area crosses county or municipal
boundaries. This board has the ability to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning
regulations.
Minnesota Statues 360.069 Airport Zoning Adminisuation: Requires that airport zoning
regulations provide for administration and enforcement ofthe regulations by an appropriate
permirissuing agency.

Only a small portion of the city adjacent to Lake Riley is located within Flying Cloud Airport's
airspace zoning limits. Upon examination of the airport zoning ordinance, staff found that the
most restrictive height limit placed upon a parcel within the City of Chanhassen was the
requirement ofan Airport Zoning Permit for stnrctures 240 feet or higher. The tallest structure
permitted by City Code outside of the Central Business District, which does not have height
limits, would be a tower with a maximum height of 225 feet; however, since all of the property
within the airspace zoning limits is zoned for residential use, the maximum height within that
area would actually be 105 feet. Theoretically, a variance could be issued to exceed this height,
but it is highly unlikely the city would consent to a variance for a structure that more than
doubled its district's maximum height.
Unlike the City Code, the airport zoning ordinance also regulates the maximum height oftrees.
Since the tallest tree in the state of Minnesota is a 130-foot tall white spruce in Littlefork, staff
does not believe that it is likely the adoption ofthe airport zoning ordinance will impact any
existing or future trees within the city.
Finally, it should be noted that Sec. 20-907 of the City Code exempts some struclures, such as
flagpoles, and architectural features, such as church spires, from the height limitations prcsent in
the Zoning Code. Since the tallest flagpole in the United States of America is 400 feet tall and
the tallest church in the United States is 392 feet, it is possible, though again unlikely, that a
resident could propose a 240+ flagpole or church spire that would trigger the airport zoning
permit.
Given the above, it is staffls beliefthat adopting the airport zoning ordinance will not in any way
hinder the use or development ofthe parcels that will fall within its overlay district.
1) Amend the City Code to establish an Airport Zoning Overlay District and adopt the
Flying Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance.
2) Do nothing.
Staff recommends Alternative 1, which would allow the city to administer and enforce the Flying
Cloud Airport Zoning Ordinance. The proposed amendment would read as follows:

SUBJ:
ISSUE
The clariSing graphic in section 20-1 I l8 ofthe City Code is from 1990 and does not depict the
ordinance's current standards.
SUMMARY
During the review ofa recently proposed parking lot plan, Engineering stalf noticed that there was a
discrepancy between the tables and clariffing graphic in section 20- 1 1 18. The graphic seemed to
indicate that an aisle width of 13.5 feet would be permitted; however, the text ofthe ordinance
required a lS-foot aisle width. The City Attomey advised staff that the most recent ordinance would
take precedence and recommended that the conflicting graphic be removed.
Sec. 20-l 1 18. - Design of Parking Stalls and Drive Aisles. Lists the desigr standards for parking lot
stalls and drive aisles, and contains clarifying tables and graphics.
Amendment Hklory
Ordinance 80 passed in 1986 establishing the framework ofour existing zoning code and requiring
parking stalls and areas to meet the standards set forth in the city's Design Handbook.
Ordinance I I 7 passed in 1990 added specific parking lot design standards to the City Code. These
standards required an 8.5-foot by 18-foot parking stall and allowed for 45-degree angle parking stalls
to 13.5-foot wide one-way aisles. A clari$ing graphic was adopted as part ofthis ordinance.
Ordinance 321 passed in 2001 removed a provision allowing for aisles not located between two rows
of ninety-degree angle parking spaces to be twenty-two feet wide.
Ordinance 377 passed in 2004 changed the stall requirements to 9-feet by l8-feet and increased the
aisle width for 45-degree angle parking stalls to l5 feet. The pre-existing graphic was not mentioned
or depicted in the amending ordinance.

November 19,2019
Page 2
ANALYSIS
It appears that when ordinance 377 was passed it did not contain any provision for removing or
altering the graphic appearing in section 20-l I 18. The graphic was likely overlooked due to its
location at the end ofthe section; below the section on compact car parking. This location, combined
with the fact that the graphic is somewhat difficult to decipher, may have caused staff to believe it
depicted the compact car standards and was not related to general parking standards. Regardless of
the reason for the omission since the graphic was not specifically addressed by the amending
ordinance, it was not removed.
Staff believes that the existing tables and text ofsection 20-1 I 18 provide sufficient clarity that a
graphic is unnecessary, and that given the difficulties and expense associated with creating and
codifuing a new graphic, the simplest way to resolve the discrepancy between the graphic and text
would be to remove the graphic.
ALTERNATIVES
l) Amend section 20-l 1 18 to remove the conflicting graphic.
2) Create a new graphic and amend the ordinance to replace the incorrect graphic with a correct
graphic.
Staff recommends Altemative 1. The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 20-1118. - Design of parking stalls and drive aisles.
(a) Parking spaces shall be designed in conformance with the following: parking stalls shall have a
minimum paved dimension of nine feet by l8 feet. Stall and aisle dimensions shall be as noted

SUBJ: Vote Requirements for Removal of Commissioners
Section 2-46 ofthe City Code states that it requires a four-fifths vote ofthe City Council to
remove an appointed commissioner; however, Section 2-46.15 states that commissioners may be
removed by a majority vote ofthe City Council. These contradictory sections should be
reconciled.
Currently, two conflicting sections ofthe City Code govem the removal of appointed
commissioners. In the event that the City Council ever feels it necessary to remove an appointed
commissioner, it is important that the City Code outline a clear and unambiguous process. Staff
recommends reconciling the passages in favor ofthe majority vote provision.
Sec. 2-46. - Appointment to city committees and commissions: States that applicants serve until
removed by a four-fifths vote olthe City Council or until the expiration of their term of
appointment.
Sec. 2-46.15- Resignations and removal from commissions: States that commissioners may be
removed from office by a majority vote of the City Council.
The City Attomey discovered this inconstancy while researching the votes required for various
actions by the City Council. The City Attomey recommended that the contradictory provisions
by reconciled in favor ofthe majority vote provision.

Vote Requirement for Removal of Commissioners
November 19,2019
Page 2
ANALYSIS
Section 2-46.15 was added by ordinance 363 on January 12,2004 which relocated the sections
goveming the composition and responsibilities of the Planning Commission, Park and Recreation
Commission, Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Environmental Commission, and Senior
Commission to Chapter 2 and established Section 2-46.15 to address the resignation and removal
of commissioners. Ordinance 363 was intended to govem the city's various commissions;
however, it did not amend the language in Sec. 2-46 which also made provisions for the removal
of commissioners.
ALTERNATI VES
1)
2)
3)
Amend the City Code to require a majority vote for the removal of a commissioner.
Amend the City Code to require a four-fifths vote for the removal of a commissioner.
Amend the City Code to require another threshold for the removal of a commissioner.
RECOMMENDATION
staff recommends Altemative 1 which would provide for the removal of commissioners by a
majority vote of the City Council. The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 2-46. - Appointment to city committees,-and commissions, and boards.
All vacancies on committees, commissions, and boards shall be advertised to seek
applicants. Vacancies shall be announced in the city's ollicial newspaper and posted within
city hatt. Applications shall be available at the city clerk's oflice and shall be forwarded to
the city council within the time prescribed. The city council may interview applicants
before making appointment. with the exeePtien ef the heusing and redevelepment autherity;
aAll appointments shall be by majority vote of the City Coun cil. enee-appeinte*,-a+applieant
Vacancies during a term shall be filled for the unexpired portion ofthe term.
Sec. 246.15. - Resignations and removal from city committees, commissions, and boards'
2
Staffbelieves it is appropriate to reconcile the discrepancy in favor ofthe most recently adopted
ordinance, since it contained a section that specifically addressed the resignation and removal of
commissioners; whereas, Sec. 2-46 govems appointments more generally. It is likely that Sec. 2-
46 was not amended due to an oversight in drafting ordinance 363.
Ifthe Council believes it is desirable to have a higher threshold for the removal of
commissioners, the discrepancy can instead be reconciled in favor ofSec. 2-46 which requires a
four-fifths vote for the removal of commissioners or the Council can establish a different
threshold for the removal of commissioners.

SUBJ: Electronic Message Centers (EMC) Sign Fee
ISSUE
The city’s website and Application Fee Schedule both list the fee for electronic message centers as
$300.00; however, there is no fee listed for electronic message centers within the City Code.
SUMMARY
While reviewing the City Code, staff discovered that the fee listed for electronic message centers
(EMC) on the Planning Department’s Application Fee Schedule and Sign Permit section of the
website was not listed under the section of the City Code that establishes permit fees. The city
charges $100.00 for the review of permanent signs; however, due to the increased scrutiny associated
with EMCs, the city has been charging $300.00 for the review of signs including an EMC. Staff has
been unable to determine if or when the $300.00 fee was formally established or removed.
Due to the unique standards and additional review associated with EMCs, staff recommends formally
adopting the $300.00 fee that is currently being charged.
RELEVANT CITY CODE
Sec. 4-30. – Fees Set: Establishes the city’s Permit and Administrative Fees. It lists fees for
temporary and permanent signs, but not electronic message centers.
Sec. 20-1252. – Permit and Variance Fees: States that sign permit fees will be established by the
City Council and listed in Chapter 4 of the City Code.
Sec. 20-1276. – Electronic Message Center Signs: Establishes standards for electronic message
centers.
ANALYSIS
The City Code states that sign permit fees will be established by the City Council within Chapter 4 of
the City Code. Since at least 2006, a $300.00 fee for EMC sign applications has been listed on the
Planning Department’s Application Fee Schedule; however, going back to Ordinance 368, which was
enacted in 2004, there is no specific fee established for EMC signs. Staff is uncertain if the $300.00
Planning Commission
Electronic Message Centers Sign Fee

fee was removed by omission at that time or in a previous amendment of the city’s fees. The city
does not receive a large number of applications for EMCs. For example, in 2018 the city received
two EMC permit applications.
The stated intent behind the city’s sign permit application fee is to cover the costs associated with
permit review, installation inspection, and periodic enforcement activities and compliance checks.
EMC signs have a higher fee because they have additional standards that must be reviewed during
the initial review and because the changeable nature of their displays means they can have
significantly greater enforcement costs over the life of the sign. Typical static display signs do not
change significantly after they are installed, and baring issues with brightness do not have the
potential to generate complaints. EMC’s can be reprogrammed after installation to violate the city’s
restrictions on animated and flashing messages. Additionally, there can be compliance issues with the
daytime/nighttime brightness levels established by Sec. 20-1276. Historically, the city’s businesses
have been very good about complying with the ordinance, but the increased fee exists to cover the
increased initial scrutiny and the potential for future enforcement and compliance issues.
For these reasons, staff recommends formally establishing the $300.00 EMC fee.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Amend the City Code to formally establish the $300.00 EMC fee.
2) Treat EMCs like other signs and change the website and fee schedule to reflect this.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Alternative 1, which would formally list the EMC sign fee that is currently being
charged in the City Code.
The proposed amendments would read as follows:
Sec. 4-30. – Fees Set.

SUBJ: Base Minimum Building Valuation Standards
ISSUE
The City Code states that base minimum building valuation shall be established by the most current
version of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Building Valuation Data; however, this
organization no longer provides this information.
SUMMARY
Building permit fees are largely determined by the value of the project. When permit applicants apply for
a building permit they are required to write in a value for the work they are doing. Since this valuation
determines how much their building fee is, some contractors significantly understate the value. In
instances where the number written is clearly incorrect, staff needs to have an alternative method
available to determine the value of the improvement in order to ensure that the correct fee is paid.
Currently, the ordinance refers to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as the source staff
will use to determine minimum building valuation data; however, they do not actually provide this data.
Staff is proposing that the International Code Council’s building valuation data be used instead.
RELEVANT CITY CODE
Sec. 4-30. – Fees Set: Establishes the fees for various city issued permits, including building permit fees.
BACKGROUND
The city’s building official was reviewing the city’s fee structure and noticed that it references a data
source that is no longer available.
ANALYSIS
Building permit fees help defray the costs associated with building plan review and inspections. Building
permit fees are established by City Code and are based on the value of the improvement being made. In
order to determine the value of an improvement, the city requires applicants to list the value of the
improvement on the building permit application.
Todd Gerhardt
Base Minimum Building Valuation Standards
December 9, 2019
Page 2
2
Some contractors significantly underreport the value of their project in an effort to lower their building
permit fee. In cases where it is obvious to staff that the reported value is unrealistically low, the city
needs a way to determine an alternative amount. This alternative amount is the base minimum building
valuation.
Currently, the City Code states that base minimum building valuation shall be established by the most
current version of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Building Valuation Data; however,
the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry does not actually provide this information. The lack of
an authoritative source and method for determining base minimum building valuation makes it difficult
for staff to determine if listed values are truly reasonable and to dispute reported values that are
significantly lower than what has been reported for similar projects conducted by other builders in the
city.
In order to address this, staff is proposing that the City Code’s reference to the Minnesota Department of
Labor and Industry be replaced with a reference to the International Code Council. The International
Code Council releases building valuation data twice a year that allows a defensible building valuation to
be determined based on the use type and square footage of a building. Staff believes referencing a
reputable and regularly updated source will allow for a justifiable determination of base minimum
building valuation and will make it easier to evaluate and challenge atypical building valuations,
ensuring that the correct fee is paid.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Amend the City Code to reference the International Code Council to determine minimum base
building valuation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Alternative 1 which would provide a regularly updated source for determining
minimum base building valuations. The proposed amendment would read as follows:
Sec. 4-30. - Fees set.
The fees and charges for the various permits required by this Code are set forth as follows:
(a) Building permit and fire prevention fees:
1. Building permit fees shall be as set forth in Table 1-A. When submittal of plans is
required, and the valuation is more than $3,000.00, a plan review fee equal to 65 percent
of the permit fee, shall also be charged. Base minimum building valuation shall be as
established by the most current version of the Minnesota Department of Labor and
Industry International Code Council Building Valuation Data.

Subject Approve Consultant Agreement for Lake Lucy Road Rehabilitation Project
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.10.
Prepared By Erik Henricksen, Project Engineer File No: Project No. 2003
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council approves a consultant contract with WSB & Associates in the amount of $78,423.00 and
authorizes the preparation of a feasibility study for the Lake Lucy Road Rehabilitation Project No. 202003.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2019, the Engineering Department prepared and released a request for proposals (RFP) for
consultant services for the project.
On November 22, 2019, the Engineering Department received three proposals from consultants for professional
services for the Lake Lucy Road project.
DISCUSSION
Lake Lucy Road is a collector street located on the east side of Lake Minnewashta between State Highway 41
(Hazeltine Boulevard) and County Rd 117 (Galpin Boulevard) and is in need of roadway pavement rehabilitation. The
city's Capital Improvement Plan has planned for the rehabilitation of Lake Lucy Road in 2020. Staff utilized the city's
Pavement Management Program and site investigations to determine the project limits as shown in Figure 1. The
project includes a 0.66mile long urbanized street corridor. The existing road section was originally constructed
between 1994 and 1998.

The existing road section was originally constructed
between 1994 and 1998.
Figure 1: Project Area Map
Lake Lucy Road is designated as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) route. The city will utilize State Aid funding and
special assessments to finance the street improvements. In addition, special assessments to benefiting properties are
proposed to be included for supplementing the street funding for the project. City utility funds will be used for funding
of the utility improvements as required.
The average pavement overall condition index (OCI) is 63, which is within the range where overlays should be
considered. While the preliminary geotechnical information is currently being prepared, it is anticipated that the
surfacing improvements can be accomplished via a mill and overlay.
As with any overlay project, minor spot repair of curb and gutter and other public utilities are anticipated; however,
major replacements of utility mains is not anticipated. The consultant will incorporate in the feasibility study and
subsequent design all inspection reports and input from staff regarding utilities. Furthermore, the consultant will
perform an evaluation of the storm sewer capacity within the project area to determine if additional capacity is needed
and recommend improvements.
Proposed improvements will address current NPDES and Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District
requirements in regards to water quality treatment and best management practices for stormwater runoff related to
construction activities.
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Consultant engineering services are necessary for this street project including preparation of the feasibility report,
surveying, preliminary and final street design, utility design (as necessary), SWPPP preparation, construction
administration, and preparation of asbuilt drawings.
Staff solicited a request for proposals (RFP) to three engineering companies: WSB & Associates, KimleyHorn &
Associates, and SEH, Inc. Proposals were received from all of the consultants and are summarized below:
Proposals Fee
WSB & Associates $78,423.00
SEH, Inc.$94,880.60
KimleyHorn & Associates $97,720.00
All of the proposals were received prior to the deadline and in the correct format, and were comparable from the
perspective of understanding the project. The proposal received from WSB & Associates presents the lowest cost
alternative from a firm the city has extensive experience working with. WSB & Associates was awarded and is
currently completing the Lake Drive East project. Their work in Chanhassen and other communities has been

Re: Proposal Response for Professional Services for Lake Lucy Road Rehabilitation
City Project No. 20-03
Dear Mr. Bender:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide professional services for the design
of proposed improvements to Lake Lucy Road. WSB has hand-picked a team that we believe has the
experience and expertise necessary to successfully complete this project.
We are proposing to keep the same project team that has worked on the City’s Orchard Lane Street
Reconstruction Project (C.P. 18-01) and the Lake Drive East Street Improvement Project (C.P. 18-02). This
will provide consistency in our project delivery as well as maintain the City’s level of comfort in dealing
with our staff. We have a long history of working with the City of Chanhassen and are looking forward to
continuing that relationship with the Lake Lucy Road Rehabilitation Project.
WSB did not receive any addenda but we acknowledge receipt of email correspondence providing
additional direction regarding necessary State Aid plan review elements. Please contact Nick if you have
any questions/concerns or to discuss our next steps forward. We appreciate the opportunity to propose on
this project and we look forward to your favorable consideration.
Sincerely,

Project Understanding | 6A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
Project Understanding
The City of Chanhassen is seeking professional
engineering services for feasibility, design, surveying,
and construction administration for improvements
within the 0.66-mile-long Lake Lucy Road Corridor.
Lake Lucy Road is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) street
and the City will be using State Aid funds to finance a
portion of the project. As a result, the plans prepared
for the project will incorporate MnDOT design standards
and will be formatted for State Aid review. In addition
to State Aid funds, special assessments to benefitting
properties are proposed, which will require State
Statutes Chapter 429 processes be followed with
project implementation.
Additional surface improvements include replacement
of pavement on the adjacent bituminous trail,
installation of ADA-compliant ramps, and replacement
of curb and gutter at various locations.
The stormwater collection system in the area is likely
in need of minor repair work, such as rebuilding
structures, casting replacement and replacement of
damaged cone sections. The final scope of work will be
determined by field inspections performed by City staff.
In addition to the minor storm sewer repair work, the
project will also include a storm sewer capacity analysis
to determine if additional capacity is needed. WSB will
review existing City and Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
Watershed District (RPBCWD) hydraulic and hydrologic
models to identify drainage issues in the project area
and prepare a memorandum summarizing potential
stormwater improvements. SITE PHOTOS
Project Understanding | 7A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
The twelve-inch diameter trunk watermain within
the project corridor is ductile iron which has several
documented breaks. An investigation into this history is
necessary to provide a recommendation for watermain
improvements. WSB will analyze data from the City
such as break history and maintenance records and
collaborate with City staff to determine effective
strategies for extending the useful life of the existing
utility. Alternatives methods to open cut replacement
such as CIPP lining and pipe bursting will be explored
for any recommended replacement.
The sanitary sewer system within the project area
consists of PVC pipe that ranges between 8-10 inches
in diameter. WSB will review the televising videos and
reports provided by the City along with City inspection
reports to determine the extent and locations of
system repairs to extend the service life of these
facilities. Potential repairs may include chemical and
grout sealing of joints and manholes; replacement
of deteriorated cone sections; and point repairs of
the sewer pipe. It is our understanding that final
improvements to the system will be selected by the City
based on the project consultant’s recommendations.
We understand that geotechnical services will be
required for the design of the project. Geotechnical
services will not be coordinated through our scope
of services. These services will be acquired under a
separate contract by the City therefore we have not
included an allowance for geotechnical services. We
will work with the selected firm and use a collaborative
approach to determine the most economical
improvement for the project area.
Work Plan/Approach | 8A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
TASK 1:
Design and Bidding Services
Work Plan/Approach
Based on our understanding of the project, WSB proposes the following scope of services.
The schedule provided presumes award of the consultant contract on December 9, 2019 and
estimates substantial construction completion in Fall 2020.
1.2 Storm Sewer System Evaluation
The storm sewer capacity within the Lake Lucy Road
corridor will be evaluated to determine if additional
capacity is necessary to meet State Aide Requirements.
WSB will create existing conditions hydraulic and
hydrologic models to identify existing infrastructure
and drainage issues. Existing conditions model will be
developed using a combination of existing hydraulic
and hydrologic models from the City and Riley
Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD),
topographic survey and utility data, as-builts, and LiDAR
data. A storm sewer system evaluation memorandum
will be provided summarizing findings of modeling
analysis along with potential stormwater catch basin of
pipe capacity improvement options for consideration.
It is assumed that recommendations will be limited to
those options that maintain the mill and overlay project
classification to prevent additional permitting and
permeant stormwater management requirements for
the project.
1.1 Project Management
Project management is an essential task that WSB
includes with each project to maintain an open line of
communication between the City and our team. Proper
execution of this task allows us to monitor project
progress in relationship to project budget in order to
minimize schedule and scope deviations. This task
also involves quality assurance and control reviews of
documents and processes to maximize efficiency in the
project development process.
Work Plan/Approach | 9A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
tile in various locations to supplement the existing
stormwater system and extend the life of the road. It
is assumed that the improvements will be limited to
those options that maintain the mill and overlay project
classification to prevent additional permitting and
permanent stormwater management requirements for
the project.
WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENTS
The results of the watermain investigation will be
discussed with City staff to determine the extent,
location, and type of watermain replacement and/or
rehabilitation. Watermain, valves and hydrants in need
of repair or replacement will be incorporated into the
plans. Anode bags may be considered for installation
at the location of these repairs to minimize future
deterioration of the pipe and extend its useful life.
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
The City will provide the televising videos and reports
of the sanitary sewer system prior to the completion of
the feasibility study. WSB will review the information and
any available City inspection reports to generate a list of
recommended improvements that can be incorporated
into the final design of the project.
1.3 Preliminary Plans
WSB will complete a preliminary design for all components within the project, which will serve as the basis for the
feasibility study. The preliminary design will address the following features:
PAVEMENT DESIGN
WSB will review existing pavement distresses in
conjunction with the recommendations made from
the geotechnical exploration obtained by the City.
This will allow for the development of a pavement
section that will address anticipated traffic loading and
existing subgrade soil conditions. WSB will provide
recommendations on techniques, such as the Texas
Under Seal, to help control reflective cracking. The
Texas Under Seal has been used by MnDOT with similar
pavement sections and has proven to be a cost-effective
way to drastically reduce early reflective cracking.
TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS
The existing bituminous trail in the corridor will be
improved with this project. Using the City’s pavement
management scores for the trail segments, WSB will
recommend removal and replacement options. The
project will also include installation of ADA-compliant
curb ramps.
STORMWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Based on the results of the storm sewer evaluation and
direction from City staff, improvements to the storm
sewer system will be included in the plans. In addition,
WSB will investigate options for the installation of drain

methodology
As part of the feasibility report, WSB will prepare a
presentation and handout materials for the project
public hearing and attend and facilitate the public
hearing as needed.
1.6 Final Design/Plan Preparation
Feedback from residents at neighborhood meetings
and the public hearing, along with input from City
staff, will provide the basis for the final design and plan
preparation. Once the City Council has ordered the
project following the public hearing, WSB will complete
the final design, which will include the following:
All elements of the final design will be documented in
the construction plans prepared for the project. The
construction plans will also detail miscellaneous items
necessary to complete the project. The final plan set
may consist of the following plan sheets, as well as
others necessary for bidding the project:
• Title sheet
• Alignment sheet (per MnDOT)
• Geometrics (per MnDOT)
• Statement of Estimated Quantities
• Project tabulations (per MnDOT)
• General construction details
• Removal sheets
• Street and storm sewer plan and profile sheets
as needed (mill and overlay/spot storm repair)
• Watermain and sanitary sewer plan and profile
sheets as needed for spot repairs
• Surface water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP)
• Restoration and turf establishment plans
• Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
1.5 Feasibility Report
Upon obtaining the City’s approval of the preliminary
design, WSB will prepare a feasibility report that will
include the following:
Work Plan/Approach | 11A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
1.8 Preparation of Assessment Rolls
WSB will prepare the preliminary assessment roll at the
feasibility stage of the project, based on preliminary
costs. The assessment roll will include all necessary
information, including parcel identification numbers,
property owner name and address, along with the basis
of assessment and assessment amount. The preliminary
assessment roll will be updated based on final design
quantities for use at the assessment hearing and then be
updated again after the bids are received for the project.
The City may consider an alternative to the unit
assessment methodology due to the unique nature of
the project area. WSB will provide preliminary and final
assessment rolls based on one assessment methodology.
1.9 Bidding Services
Upon authorization from the City Council to bid the
project, WSB will provide bidding support services,
including plan and specification reproduction and
distribution, fielding questions from potential bidders,
and providing a final engineer’s opinion of probable
cost. WSB will also attend the bid opening and
prepare a tabulation of bids received and a letter of
recommendation for contract award.
Quantities will be calculated and tabulated on a bid
proposal form that will be distributed with the plans
and specifications for potential bidders to submit their
individual bids. An engineer’s estimate of probable cost
will also be created and given to the City for review
prior to bidding.
The project manual will be prepared based on the
City of Chanhassen’s Standard Specifications for
Construction and will contain all contract documents
relating to the project.
1.7 Permits
Based on the nature of the construction and overall size
of the project, the following permits will be prepared
and submitted on behalf of the City:
-Minnesota Pollution Control Agency –
NPDES Construction Activity Permit. This
permit will not be required for the mill and
overlay component of the project.
-Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed
(RPBCWD) – Erosion and sediment control.
-MnDOT Work in Right-of-Way – Work
adjacent to TH 41 (Hazeltine Blvd)
-Carver County in Right-of-Way – Work
adjacent to CR 117 (Galpin Blvd)
Work Plan/Approach | 12A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
Topographic Survey
WSB will perform the design survey at this stage to
create accurate base mapping and provide a more
in-depth construction estimate as part of the feasibility
study. The preliminary design survey will be completed
using conventional survey methods with invert
verification of sanitary and storm sewer structure.
Existing right-of-way and/or road easements will be
mapped, property pins located where available, and
tree locations and size will be included in the survey.
Base Mapping
Base mapping will be created from the survey data
collected (i.e. property pins) and from City data, such
as plat maps and current deeds for unplatted property.
Information on private and public utilities will also be
incorporated into the base map to identify potential
conflicts at the feasibility level. As an added benefit,
base mapping and design will be created utilizing 3-D
Civil Design in AutoCAD. WSB has developed templates
specifically for use in drafting and designing with the
TASK 2:
Survey for Design Services
Initial underground data to be collected will be primarily based on a Gopher State One Call design locate. Following
the locate request, WSB will contact each private utility company to inform them of the project and gather mapping of
individual private facilities in the project site. Additional work performed and information to be collected will include
the following:
3-D program. These templates will be provided to
the City along with the base files for the project at no
additional cost to the City.
WSB 360
The existing Google Street View data from the project
area is from 2014 and is too outdated to reliably
document the existing conditions of the project area.
As an added benefit, and at no additional cost to
the City, WSB will use a vehicle-mounted camera to
photograph the existing conditions within the project
corridor. This detailed camera view will record the
preconstruction condition of all project components
visible from the roadway, eliminating the need to have
City staff document the preconstruction conditions
using traditional still-frame camera images. WSB
360 includes camera systems that integrate directly
with Google Street View. This process enhances the
public involvement, project design, and resident
communication during the construction phase. This
information will be uploaded to Google Maps to provide
current images in the Street View feature.

Exceptions and Deviations | 17A Proposal for Lucy Road Rehabilitation (City Project No. 20-03)
Exceptions and Deviations
During the review of the RFP that has been provided, we believe the following
exceptions needs to be considered in order for proper project delivery:
• Resident Notification or Survey and Neighborhood
Meeting: December 3rd
• Consultant Contract Award: December 9th
• Neighborhood Meeting: December 19th (aerials/project
location)
• Draft Feasibility Report: January 9th
• Accept Feasibility Report/Notice of Public Hearing:
January 27, 2020
• Public Hearing/Authorize Plans and Specs: February 10, 2020
• Approve Plans and Specs/Authorize Ad for Bid: March
23rd (assumes 90 percent plans and state aid review in
process)
• Bid Opening: April 17, 2020
• Neighborhood Meeting: Late April/Early May
• Call Assessment Hearing: April 27, 2020
• Assessment Hearing/Award Contract: May 25, 2020
• Start Construction: Mid-June 2020
• Substantial Completion: Fall 2020
We anticipate a minimum of a two-week extension starting with plan approval through the start of construction if
significant utility improvements are required based on the findings of the storm sewer capacity analysis and watermain
improvement recommendations (I.e. storm sewer pipe replacement, watermain rehabilitation/service replacement).
Survey
The preliminary survey time allotted assumes minimal snow cover between December 10, 2019 and December 20, 2019
and that residents were notified of the survey work prior to award of the consultant contract. If significant snowfall is
present once the survey work is authorized, additional time may be required and the fee may need to be renegotiated
beyond the hours proposed.
Design
The fee provided assumes spot watermain replacement (valves, hydrants) and minimal storm sewer replacement
(castings, 3-4 structures). If significant utility improvements are required based on the findings of the storm sewer
capacity analysis and watermain improvement recommendations, then additional fees may need to be negotiated
beyond the hours proposed.
Schedule
The RFP requests that the feasibility report be brought to Council on January 9, 2020, with a bid time frame of late
February. We do not believe this schedule is obtainable with the MN State Statute requirements for the 429 process,
state aid review, and bidding requirements. We are suggesting the following for a project schedule assuming only spot
watermain replacement (valves/hydrants), spot storm sewer improvements, and surface improvements only requiring a
mill and overlay.

Subject Authorize Payment for Parcels 12 and 31, Highway 101 Improvement Project
Section CONSENT AGENDA Item No: D.11.
Prepared By Bruce Loney, Interim Director of Public
Works/City Engineer
File No: Project No. 201408
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council Approves Administrative Settlements as to Parcel 12, Dypwick property, and Parcel 31
Myslivecek/Abramovich property, for the Highway 101 Improvement Project No. 201408.”
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
On May 13, 2019, Council authorized the Director of Public Works and the City's rightofway acquisition agent for
the Project to submit written offers of compensation on behalf of the City to the owner(s) of each of the parcels of real
estate which will be affected by the Project.
DISCUSSION
Property from Parcel 12, the Dypwick property located at 10300 Great Plains Boulevard, is needed to make
improvements to Highway 101. The project requires 1,855 square feet of temporary easement and 9,768 square feet
of fee acquisition. An offer of $12,550 was made to the owners. A tentative agreement has been reached with the
owners for an additional $5,000, for a total of $17,550. The additional payment is for increased fencing cost, the
mailbox, and to avoid condemnation.
Property from Parcel 31, the Myslivecek/Abramovich property located at 10151 Great Plains Boulevard, is needed
to make improvements to Highway 101. The project requires 1,009 square feet of temporary easement and an offer
of $500 was made to the owners. A tentative agreement has been reached with the owners for an additional $1,000,
for a total of $1,500 to avoid condemnation.
Robert Lindall, Kennedy and Graven, Chartered, attorney for the city, is recommending this settlement as well as
Sonya Henning, Henning Professional Services, rightofway agent for the city who has personally been working with
the owners.

MOTION BY: SECONDED BY:
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR SOUTHWEST TRANSIT
WHEREAS, a Replacement Transit Service Program was established by the Minnesota
Legislature in 1984 to continue Metropolitan Transit Service Program under Minnesota Statutes
Section 473.388; and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie, all being municipal
corporations organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota, pursuant to authority conferred
upon the parties by Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.59, 473.384, 473.388, and related statutes;
and
WHEREAS, the Cities of Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie, entered into a Joint
Powers Agreement, to provide Replacement Transit Services dated July 21, 1986, which has
since been restated in 1994, 1996, 2005, 2012, and in 2016; and
WHEREAS, through this Joint Powers Agreement, the agency “SouthWest Transit” was
formed; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council was charged to provide financial assistance under
Minnesota Section 473.388 which up until 2002 meant 90 percent of the tax revenues which
would accrue to the Council from the tax it levied under Section 473.446 in applicant City; and
WHEREAS, in 2002 funding for transit shifted from property taxes collected for transit
operations within the metro area transit taxing district to the Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST)
account where 21.5% of the MVST collected went towards metro area transit; and
WHEREAS, of the MVST funding allocated for metro area transit, Metro Transit and
the Metropolitan Council’s Transit Operations received 82.85 percent of the funding and the
suburban transit providers received 17.15 percent of the funding; and
WHEREAS, in 2008 the MVST funding allocation for metro area transit increased from
21.5 percent of the statewide MVST collection to 36 percent; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature did not mandate a formula for the distribution of the
increased MVST funding for regional transit; and
WHEREAS, on the average Metro Transit/Metropolitan Council has retained over 96%
of the additional MVST funding leaving 4% for the other suburban providers including
SouthWest Transit; and
2
WHEREAS, SouthWest Transit was provided over $500,000 in transit assistance from
the State General Fund through the Metropolitan Council for the 2018-2019 biennium; and
WHEREAS, beginning with the 2020-2022 biennium, the Metropolitan Council
eliminated any share of the State General Fund provided for transit to suburban transit providers;
and
WHEREAS, SouthWest Transit, along with the other suburban transit providers, all have
capital needs related to expanding and maintaining its facilities, and for bringing in regional
technologies it has not received funding for; and
WHEREAS, the Council has not included any capital requests for any of the suburban
transit providers in its 2020 Legislative Bonding Request; and
WHEREAS, SouthWest Transit is limited by the Metropolitan Council’s fare policy to
charge fares that would keep local and special event services cost-effective; and
WHEREAS, SouthWest Transit continues to bring a cost-effective, innovative, and
entrepreneurial approach to transit to some of the fastest growing areas in the State; and
WHEREAS, through its approach, SouthWest Transit has had tremendous ridership
growth, continues to have on-time performance and customer satisfaction ranking above 99%
annually, and has brought innovations such as transit oriented development; coach vehicles; Wi-
Fi, real time mobile apps, and micro-transit to the metropolitan region.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City of Chanhassen supports
SouthWest Transit efforts to:
• Reinstatement or replacement of the funding lost when the Metropolitan Council made
the decision not to provide any of the General Fund it receives for transit to the suburban
systems. This loss amounts to over $500,000 to SouthWest Transit and over $1 million
to MVTA.
• Provide an equitable distribution of the RAMVST funding (the additional 14.5% of
MVST funding provided to the Metropolitan Council for all regional transit operations in
2008). Currently 96.4% of RAMVST funding goes to Metro Transit and the
Metropolitan Council, and the suburban providers receive 3.6%. (Note the initial MVST
spilt derived when transit came off the property tax in 2002 had a split of 82.85% to
Metro Transit/Metropolitan Council, and 17.15% to the suburban providers.)
• Provide funding to meet our vehicle and facility expansion needs, as well as to keep our
facilities maintained and in a “state of good repair”.

• Provide funding to incorporate regional technologies we have been denied that include
OMG Routers; Ubisense Transponders; Cubic Go-To Validators; Dead Reckoning
Capabilities; MTrac; Fareboxes; and Ticket Vending Machines.
• Provide an exemption from the regional fare policies as it relates to local and micro
transit service and special events.

RE: Avienda - Preliminary Plat, Rezoning, and CUP extension
Dear Kate,
Level 7 Development, LLC has been working diligently to meet the conditions of the grading permit,
finalizing our Phase 1 development plans, and continued marketing of the property to end users. The
ownership group is preparing to move forward with mass grading and Phase 1 of the infrastructure
installation in spring 2020, inclusive of Bluff Creek Drive and Avienda Parkway connections, at which
point we will pull the grading permit. As a reminder, the Council granted approval of our Preliminary
irlat, Rezoning, Conditional Use Permit and Wetland Alteration permit on July 10,2017 and extended
these preliminary approvals (including grading permit) until December 31 , 2019. We are hereby
requesting that these approvals be extended to June 30, 2020. This will allow us to begin grading in
2020 with a goal of completion of Phase 1 infrastructure by Fall2O2A.
As we finalize the development plans for the potential end users of the Avienda project, we expect to
request minor alterations to the approved PUD plans and look fonruard to presenting an updated plan
at a future Council Work Session. Our plans are to present these updated plans at a Council work
session in March 2020 and prepare a formal submittal in the spring for approval of the of the updated
PUD plans and a revised final plat in the summer.
We appreciate the City of Chanhassen's cooperation and look forward to delivering a high-quality
development for the community. Please reach out to Kendra Lindahl at Landform with any questions
regarding this request.

information is needed to determine if the project meets the WCA requirements.
• A Technical Evaluation Panel meeting is needed to review the application.
• If the application is deemed to meet the avoidance and minimization criteria of the WCA, a
mitigation plan that adequately replaces wetland functions and values is needed.
• City Staff has reviewed mitigation options. City Staff recommends the applicant provide
wetland mitigation via the purchase of wetland bank credits, at a ratio of 2:1, in accordance
with WCA requirements.
• The applicant shall contribute $300,000 to the city for water quality improvement projects
within the watershed.
Mr. Bahram Akradi
Avienda Planning Case 2017-10

Wetland Functions and Mitigation
If the project meets the WCA sequencing and shows that the wetland impacts need to occur for
the project (i.e. if the project meets wetland avoidance and minimization requirements), the rest
of the WCA review for this project is dependent on wetland replacement.
The WCA requires that wetland replacement must replace the public value of wetlands lost
because of an impact. The public value of wetlands is generally based on the functions of
wetlands including: water quality, flood water attenuation, public recreation and education, and
fish/wildlife/plant habitats. The WCA uses the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method
(MnRAM) to determine functions and values. The City completed a citywide MnRAM in 2006.
The applicant has completed MnRAM as part of the application process. For the onsite wetlands
that were previously evaluated by the City, the applicant’s MnRAM has either the same result or
a slightly higher quality results for the wetlands.
The table above shows the wetland management categories from the application. The standard
categories that the city uses, which are in conformance with state guidance, is as follows:
• Preserve: These are the highest quality wetlands and have high quality habitat and native
vegetative diversity.
• Manage 1: These are a lower quality than Preserve, but still show high habitat quality and
plant diversity.
• Manage 2: These wetlands have been impacted by stormwater, invasive species, or other
impacts and are lower quality than Manage 1. They likely still provide some habitat and
may have some native plant species.
• Manage 3: These wetlands have been impacted the most and may provide a stormwater
treatment function and have minimal native plants. These are the lowest quality wetlands.
The wetlands proposed to be impacted by the project are either Manage 2 or Manage 3 wetlands.
Some have historically been excavated. These wetlands do not contain a diversity of native
plants. They do provide stormwater and floodplain treatment for downstream wetlands as they
are at the headwaters of the Bluff Creek and Lake Susan watersheds. Downstream waters are
impaired for water quality.
Wetland mitigation that replaces wetland functions and values at a minimum of a 2:1 ratio is
required and can be met in a variety of ways:
• Onsite mitigation: New wetlands are created or restored within a project area. This could
address replacing functions and values in the same area, but the current layout does not
provide opportunity for a reasonable creation or restoration project. Also, creating new
Mr. Bahram Akradi
Avienda Planning Case 2017-10
July 18, 2017
Page 9 of 9
wetlands takes time and there are many factors to consider for its success.
• Replacement in the same subwatershed: New wetlands are created or restored within the
same minor or major subwatershed as the project. This would allow wetland functions
and values to be replaced within the subwatershed where the project is located and the
project layout would not have to be altered to fit mitigation on site. However, a suitable
site would need to be located.
• Purchase of wetland credits from a wetland bank: There are several wetland banks in the
state and applicants can purchase credit from these already created wetland areas. It is
preferred in the WCA rules that a bank within the same bank service area be chosen to
purchase credit for a project.
• Some combination of these mitigation options: An eligible project can also use a
combination of these mitigation options.
As stated, if the project is determined to have met the avoidance and minimization criteria for the
wetland impact, wetland mitigation for the lost functions and values would be required at a
minimum of a 2:1 ratio. Currently, the applicant is proposing mitigation through the purchase of
credit from three wetland banks in Blue Earth, Stevens, and Rice Counties. These banks are in
the same bank service area, and only one is in the same major watershed area.
• In addition to the wetland bank credits, City staff recommends that a condition of
approval will include that the applicant shall contribute $300,000 to the city for water
quality improvement projects within the watershed.

2. Conditions of Approval. The City hereby approves the permit on condition that the
Developer abide by its terms and furnish the security required by this permit and meet all conditions of
the City Council approved for final plat and grading plan.
3. Plans. The proposed plat shall be graded in accordance with the City approved plans. The
plans shall not be attached to this permit. If the plans vary from the written terms of this permit, the
written terms shall control. The plans are:
Grading and Soil Erosion Control Plan for Avienda Plat
4. Time of Performance. The Developer shall complete the grading, drainage and erosion
control in the plat by December 31, 2019. The Developer may, however, request an extension of time
from the City. If an extension is granted, it shall be conditioned upon updating the security posted by the
Developer to reflect cost increases and the extended completion date.
5. Erosion Control. Erosion Control Plan shall be implemented by the Developer and daily
inspected by its Engineer. The City will inspected the proposed plat area as needed and may impose
additional erosion control requirements if deemed necessary. The parties recognize that time is of the
essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and
schedule or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action as it deems
appropriate to control erosion. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of any
proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and City's rights or
obligations hereunder. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred for
such work within thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. A
NPDES General Permit to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Construction Activity (MN R100001)
must be obtained before any soil disturbing activity begins. In compliance with MN R100001 Part
III.C., A temporary sediment basin must be provided for every 5 acres of disturbance. Prior to receiving
a grading permit developer must submit a dewatering plan including proposed staging of dewatering
equipment, and materials being used. All dewatering activity done during construction must have prior
approval from City Water Resources Staff. A certified SWPPP Inspector must be identified, and contact
information provided, before any soil disturbing activity begins. All disturbed, unworked slopes 3:1 or
greater require erosion control blanket or equivalent stabilization within 7 days.
6. Grading Plan. The proposed plat shall be graded in accordance with the grading plan. Within
thirty (30) days after completion of the grading and before the City releases the security, the Developer
shall provide the City with an "as constructed" grading plan and a certification by a registered land
surveyor or engineer that all ponds, swales, and ditches have been constructed per plan and functioning
to meet approved storm water requirements.
7. Clean up. The Developer shall promptly clean dirt and debris from streets that has resulted
from construction work by the Developer, its agents or assigns.
8. Security. To guarantee compliance with the terms of this permit, the Developer shall furnish
the City with a cash escrow or irrevocable letter of credit, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, from
a bank ("security") for $500,000. The bank and form of the letter of credit shall be subject to the
approval of the City. The letter of credit shall be for a term ending December 31, 2020.
9. Responsibility for Costs.
A. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Developer shall pay all costs incurred by it or the
City in conjunction with the grading, drainage and erosion control, including but not limited to legal,
planning, engineering and inspection expenses incurred in connection with approval and acceptance of
the permit, the preparation of this permit, and all costs and expenses incurred by the City in monitoring
and inspecting the grading, drainage and erosion control.
B. The Developer shall hold the City and its officers and employees harmless from claims
made by itself and third parties for damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from permit approval
and work done in conjunction with it. The Developer shall indemnify the City and its officers and
employees for all costs, damages, or expenses which the City may pay or incur in consequence of such
claims, including attorney's fees.
C. The Developer shall reimburse the City for costs incurred in the enforcement of this
permit, including engineering inspection and attorney's fees.
D. The Developer shall pay in full all bills submitted to it by the City for obligations incurred
under this permit within thirty (30) days after receipt. If the bills are not paid on time, the City may halt
all work and construction.
10. Developer's Default. In the event of default by the Developer as to any of the work to be
performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the Developer shall
promptly reimburse the City for any expense incurred by the City, provided the Developer is first given
notice of the work in default, not less than 48 hours in advance. This permit is a license for the City to
act, and it shall not be necessary for the City to seek a court order for permission to enter the land. When
the City does any such work, the City may, in addition to its other remedies, assess the cost in whole or
in part.
11. Insurance. Developer shall take out and maintain or cause to be taken out and maintained
until six (6) months after the City has accepted the public improvements, public liability and property
damage insurance covering personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage which may
arise out of Developer's work or the work of its subcontractors or by one directly or indirectly employed
by any of them. Limits for bodily injury and death shall be not less than $750,000 for one person and
$2,000,000 for each occurrence; limits for property damage shall be not less than $1,000,000 for each
occurrence. The City shall be named as an additional insured on the policy, and the Developer shall file

Subject Ordinance XXX: Amendment to City Code Chapter 4, Fees
Section NEW BUSINESS Item No: G.1.
Prepared By Greg Sticha, Finance Director File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
“The City Council adopts an Ordinance amending Chapter 4 of the Chanhassen City Code revising the fees for
2020."
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
City fees are designed to cover the cost of providing a specific service.
DISCUSSION
Wetland Boundary and Type Determination
The city is responsible for making a wetland boundary and type determination for wetlands in the community.
However, we currently do not collect any fees for this and are covering the fees via general funds. The property
owner or developer is required to hire a wetland specialist to create the initial wetland boundary and type study. They
then submit this to the city for a decision.
The requirements for a wetland boundary and type determination include:
Notification of application.
Field review of wetland.
Review by Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) if necessary.
Notice of decision.
Staff is recommending that we establish a $500 fee for this application, which is consistent with other communities and
will, generally, cover the costs associated with meeting this requirement. The city has been paying a consultant to
perform this function, so our cost should be reduced when brought back in house.

Surface Water Management Fees
The City’s Surface Water Management Plan was first adopted in February of 1994. Based upon recommendations in
that plan the City established surface water connection fees as a means of financing citywide improvements
recommended in the plan’s implementation section. The initial fee was based upon the cost of the recommended pipes
and ponds in the 1994 plan. The fees were apportioned according to acreage and intensity of land use and intended to
be a more equitable distribution of the cost associated with stormwater runoff. This did not consider longterm
maintenance of the facilities or increased regulatory requirements.
Twenty four years after the 1994 plan was adopted the City is entering its third generation plan. In the past 24 years
the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (NPDES MS4) permit
was issued and revised. This permit allows the City to operate its storm sewer system. Our local Watershed Districts
have also implemented Rules and Standards the City must meet. This has resulted in increased storm water and
surface water management requirements.
The city has begun to look at the significant life cycle costs of maintaining our existing infrastructure as well as the cost
of repairing damage caused by runoff in the past. Chanhassen has been replacing storm sewer infrastructure with every
road reconstruction project. This has ranged in cost from $50,000 to over $400,000 per project. The amount of
infrastructure has increased substantially over what the city had in 1994 and this amount continues to grow with each
new development. For example, it is estimated that if all ponds were cleaned out this year, the cost would be $2.5
million for the excavation alone. These costs will continue to increase.
Other costs not considered included the City’s pollution reduction requirements for the eight lakes and creeks that do
not meet State water quality standards. For instance, meeting the reduction requirement for Bluff Creek could cost the
City approximately $5.8 million.
For 2020, Ehlers & Associates, the city’s financial advisor, recommends a two percent increase to the surface water
development fees.
Amend Section 430 (c) 3.

Fees are based on the developable land. Undeveloped areas such as wetlands and buffers placed into an outlot,
public parks, and public rightofway are exempt from these fees.
Sewer and Water Fees
A lateral connection charge replaces a missed assessment. When the city installs a pipe next to a property, some
owners choose not to connect. In some instances, the city may not have assessed the property owner for their portion
of the pipe. When those properties eventually connect, the lateral connection charge approximately covers the cost of
the omitted assessment. These charges are only levied in rare instances. Trunk hookup charges, on the other hand,
are for core utility infrastructure such as wells, lift stations, and trunk main oversizing. Every new lot in the city that
hooks up to the utility system pays a trunk hookup charge.
Hookup fees paid at the time of final residential subdivision approval remain the same for sewer at $691.00/unit and
increase for water from $2,311.00 to $2,392.00/unit. The remainder of the sewer and water hookup fee is collected
with the building permit at the rate in effect at that time. The total sanitary hookup fee remains the same at $2,302.00
and the total water hookup fee is increasing from $7,704.00 to $7,974.00. Parcels within the Lake Ann Sewer
District will also be subject to the Lake Ann Trunk sewer fees in addition to the sewer trunk hookup fees. The Lake
Ann Interceptor hookup fee remains at $1,971.00 and the subtrunk fee remains at $2,068.00. Commercial,
industrial and institutional developments pay the total hookup fee at the time of building permit. Trunk hookup fees
are based on the number of sanitary access charge (SAC) units assigned by Metropolitan Council for office or
industrial/commercial buildings.
Lateral connection charges are charges for utility infrastructure which has been constructed by the city but were not
assessed to or paid for a property. Sewer lateral connection charges remain the same at $7,710.00 and water lateral
connection charges increase from $9,508.00 to $9,841.00.

Based upon recommendations inthat plan the City established surface water connection fees as a means of financing citywide improvementsrecommended in the plan’s implementation section. The initial fee was based upon the cost of the recommended pipesand ponds in the 1994 plan. The fees were apportioned according to acreage and intensity of land use and intended tobe a more equitable distribution of the cost associated with stormwater runoff. This did not consider longtermmaintenance of the facilities or increased regulatory requirements.Twenty four years after the 1994 plan was adopted the City is entering its third generation plan. In the past 24 yearsthe National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (NPDES MS4) permitwas issued and revised. This permit allows the City to operate its storm sewer system. Our local Watershed Districtshave also implemented Rules and Standards the City must meet. This has resulted in increased storm water andsurface water management requirements.The city has begun to look at the significant life cycle costs of maintaining our existing infrastructure as well as the costof repairing damage caused by runoff in the past. Chanhassen has been replacing storm sewer infrastructure with everyroad reconstruction project. This has ranged in cost from $50,000 to over $400,000 per project. The amount ofinfrastructure has increased substantially over what the city had in 1994 and this amount continues to grow with eachnew development. For example, it is estimated that if all ponds were cleaned out this year, the cost would be $2.5million for the excavation alone. These costs will continue to increase.

Executive Summary of the Utility Rate
Analysis for 2020 Rates
CITY OF CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA
Utility Rate Study December 2019
Chanhassen, Minnesota Page 1
Introduction
The goal of a rate study is to ensure the long-term financial health of the utility
enterprise funds. Toward this end, the City of Chanhassen annually updates its utility
rate study. It reviews both its quarterly charges and development fees. This rate
study provides a recommendation for the 2020 user rates and development fees of
the water, sanitary sewer, and storm water utilities.
The rate study reviews each utility fund to ensure that the recommended rates and
fees will be adequate to support all operations and capital costs in 2020 and into the
future. We completed a ten-year financial projection for each utility fund. This report
details the findings and the recommendations for each utility, reviews development
fees, and summarizes a sample 2020 utility bill for a homeowner in the City of
Chanhassen.
Methodology and Assumptions
Ehlers prepared a 10-year cash flow projection for the water, sewer and storm water
utility funds through the year 2029 to examine projected cash flows in future years and
estimate the user rate increases necessary to meet all financial obligations of the utility
funds while maintaining and building adequate cash reserves.
The cash flow analysis method determines future revenue requirements by
incorporating operating and maintenance expenses, transfer payments, current and
future debt service and future capital projects. We also include future growth estimates
in the model. The primary financial inputs in the development of the analysis were the
City’s audited financial statements, budget documents, and Capital Improvement Plan.
The cashflow projections include the following assumptions:
3-4% annual inflation on operating costs.
4% annual inflation on capital expenses.
5% annual inflation on MCES disposal charges.
80 new residential units for 2020, 130 new residential units 2021-2024 then 120
new residential units per year thereafter and 25 new commercial SAC units per
year as discussed with City staff.
Future water use will remain at 2019 expected consumption, despite anticipated
growth. This is a conservative assumption to reflect the trend of declining per
capita water consumption in the City.
Utility Rate Study December 2019
Chanhassen, Minnesota Page 2
Funding capital improvements for a growing community as well as replacing aging utility
infrastructure drive the need for adequate utility revenue. City staff developed a 10-year
Capital Improvement Plan for each utility (See Appendix A). All capital costs are in
today’s dollars and have been inflated 4% annually beginning in 2020. The total inflated cost
is at the bottom of the table.
Water Fund
The rate study proposes a 5% annual water rate increase in 2020 and beyond. The
recommended increase of 5% is consistent with last year’s rate study. The 5% rate
increases will help pay for the City’s projected investment in expanding and improving the
water system as well as water projects completed as part of the Street Improvement
Program. Between 2020 and 2029, the City plans to spend $21 million on capital
improvements (in today’s dollars) from the water utility fund. This is a 25% increase over the
same time period in last year’s rate study. The $4.2 million increase in capital expenditures
is due to additional water main replacement projects and other water infrastructure
completed in connection with street reconstruction projects. The chart below outlines some
of the major water system capital projects in the City’s capital improvement plan.

Despite the overall increase in future capital expenditures, we have been able to maintain
5% annual increases similar to the prior years’ recommendations through increased reliance
on debt. Eighty-seven percent of future capital projects are expected to be financed. If
capital costs increase faster than anticipated, annual rate increases will need to be higher
than 5% in the future as the Water Fund does not have the financial capacity to support
additional debt with the current revenues projected.
Sewer Fund
The driving factors in setting sewer rates are the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services’ (MCES) disposal charge and planned capital costs. The MCES disposal charge
represents over 50% of the operating expenses within the Sewer Fund. The city has been
informed that there will be a 9.7% increase for 2020. Capital costs have increased from last
year’s planned amounts by 13% (in today’s dollars). Similar to the Water Fund, the capital
increases are largely due to increased funding for sewer replacements under street
reconstruction projects.
The recommended sewer rate increase of 5% in 2020 and beyond reflects the inflationary
increases in the MCES disposal charge plus the planned capital costs.

2010 MUSA Sanitary Lift Station 2025 $950,000
Despite the overall increase in future capital expenditures, we have been able to maintain
5% annual increases similar to the prior years’ recommendations because two major
projects (the 2010 MUSA Sanitary Lift Station and the Lower Bluff Creek Utility
Improvements) were delayed. These improvements will occur when prompted by
development activity.
If capital costs or MCES disposal charges increase in the future, higher annual rate
increases will be required. Many of these potential future costs (i.e. rising construction costs
and MCES disposal charges) are outside of the City’s immediate control.

Storm Water Fund
Managing storm water is a significant and increasingly complex mandate imposed on cities
by the state. Meeting new storm water requirements is expensive and puts pressure on all
cities to increase storm water rates. In addition, the City of Chanhassen has increased the
allocation of costs on road reconstruction projects it plans to complete within its Capital
Improvement Plan. Specifically, from last year’s Capital Improvement Plan to this year’s,
there was a 70% increase (in today’s dollars) in capital costs. The major projects within the
Storm Water fund are outlined below.
Storm Water - Major Projects Year Amount
Storm Water Pond Improvements Annually $300,000
Storm Water Infrastructure Maintenance - Average Annually $82,500
Street Improvement Program - Average Annually $580,000
It is recommended that the City adopt a 5% increase over last year’s rate.

Commercial/Industrial
Base Charge $28.99 $30.44 $31.96 $33.56 $35.24 $37.00
In the past, the City has funded its storm water projects with cash. Between 2021 and 2029
the capital expenditures per year are expected to average $1,000,000 and we anticipate the
City will need to finance 63% of its capital project costs. This represents a change from last
year’s rate study when only $400,000 of bonding was anticipated over the ten-year
projection period.
Cash Reserves
Cash balances in the utility funds serve several purposes. Adequate cash balances provide
the needed cashflow for the city during potential seasonal mismatches between revenues
Utility Rate Study December 2019
Chanhassen, Minnesota Page 6
and expenses. In addition, the City needs to have cash on hand as of December 31 each
year to make its February bond payments.
Appendix B is the 10-year cash flow analysis for the City’s utility funds. The cash flow
analysis projects the user rate increases necessary to meet the estimated annual expenses
of the utility and maintain a minimum recommended reserve level (“Target Working
Capital”).
The following graphs show the projected year end cash balance in each utility fund as
compared to the Target Working Capital. For the water and sewer funds, the Target
Working Capital equals 50% of annual operating expenses plus 10% accumulated
depreciation.
Utility Rate Study December 2019
Chanhassen, Minnesota Page 7
For the Storm Water Fund the Target Working Capital was established at $1,000,000 in
2016 and inflates 4% annually to keep up with construction costs. The graphs above show
that the City is projected to meet its goals for cash reserves for each utility.

Community Comparison
Each community has different demands on its utility systems that make it unique – different
growth patterns, groundwater sources, soil conditions, usage patterns and infrastructure.
Therefore, one should set rates based on documented need, as the City of Chanhassen
does through its annual rate study. Nevertheless, it is informative to know how the City’s
rates compare to other developing communities with similar characteristics – the KFS
communities Chanhassen has previously identified as well as its neighbors. Figure 1 shows
a sample 2019 bill for a residential customer who uses 26,000 gallons of water and sewer
in each KFS city and Figure 2 shows a sample bill for adjacent communities.

Development Fees
How quickly the City grows will impact the utility fees collected, the hook-up revenues, and
storm water area charges. For the rate study, we have assumed that there will be 80 new
residential units to be constructed for 2020 and 130 new units from 2021 through 2024
and 120 units per year thereafter as discussed with City staff. In addition to the residential
growth, 25 SAC units per year are assumed to come from commercial development and
new irrigation meters.
This rate study’s recommendation for a 3.5% annual water hook-up fee increase and no
increase to sewer hook-up fees is consistent with last year’s rate study and balances the
need to keep developer fees competitive while also covering growth related infrastructure
costs. The proposed water and sewer developer fees for a single-family home are listed in
the chart below.
The city also charges developers a Storm Water Area Charge when land is platted to pay
for off-site storm water improvements. Most developments receive a credit for a portion of
this charge for completing certain on-site improvements that reduce water run-off and
improve water quality. Staff estimates the average credit is about 50%. The fees, before the
credit, are listed in the chart below and are proposed to increase 2% annually, consistent
with last year’s rate study.

The City requested Ehlers to provide a comparison of hook-up fees and area charges for
three sample developments:
1.A single-family home;
2.A 100-unit multifamily development on 4 net developable acres; and
3.A 130,000 square foot industrial development with 34 SAC units on 8 net
developable acres.
The comparison was made with both neighboring communities and the City’s identified KFS
cities. Please see Appendix C for the sample comparisons.
Summary
We recommend keeping the City’s existing rate structure and implementing the following
percentage rate increases for 2020:
Utility Fee Percent Increase
Water Usage Rates 5%
Sewer Usage Rates 5%
Stormwater Utility Fee 5%
Water Hook-up Fee 3.5%
Sewer Hook-up Fee 0%
Storm Water Area Charge 2%
These rate increases accommodate the City’s increased commitment to funding street
reconstruction projects and maintain adequate cash reserves.

Subject Resolution 2019XX: Adopt Final Levy & 2020 Budget and 20202024 CIP
Section NEW BUSINESS Item No: G.2.
Prepared By Greg Sticha, Finance Director File No:
PROPOSED MOTION
The City Council adopts the attached resolution establishing the 2020 final levy of $11,741,368 and approves total
general fund expenditures of $11,899,700. It also approves the CIP for 20202024 in the total amount of
$106,696,900.
Approval requires a Simple Majority Vote of members present.
BACKGROUND
On September 23, 2019, the City Council approved the preliminary levy in the amount of $11,741,368.This includes
an increase in the total levy of $721,500 or 6.55%.This would result in an increase in the city portion of the property
tax bill on the average home in the city by about $45.
Since setting the levy in September staff has not been made aware of a change in economic conditions or other factors
that would impact any of the General Fund expenditure line items.
The budget includes:
$177,100 (1.61%) increase in levy dollars due to new construction
A 16% reduction in healthcare costs
Building permit revenue budgeted same as 2019
A 3% increase for cost of living and merit pay
A 5% increase in the police services contract
The average home in Chanhassen increased in taxable market value by 5%
Includes increased service levels for expanded duty crews $150,000
Includes new Street Maintenance Department Employee $80,000
Includes new Park Maintenance Department Employee $80,000
Includes $350,000 for Pavement Management Program Funding
The CIP document reviewed in October only had minor changes in proposed projects that were moved for construction
timing reasons.None of the delays has a significant impact on the overall condition or ability to keep utility infrastructure
maintained appropriately.
Staff will be reviewing the impacts of the budget and levy in a PowerPoint with city council similar to what was

Total General fund spending in 11 years has increased $1,894,200 in
total ($172k/year) for an average annual increase in spending of 1.7%
$1,680,000 of the $1,894,200 above, was for wage increases, health
care increases, taxes, pension costs and increased added seasonal and
part time hours.We have the exact same FTE count in 2019 as 2009
$431,900 of the $1,894,200 was for increases in the policing services
contract
$51,000 of the $1,894,200 was for required assessing services contract

Description
project funds the expansion and upgrades to the City telephone systems, excluding cellular equipment and service which remains an
individual department budget item. The current City telephone system is a Mitet model 5000 and is located in the server room at City Hall. This
system provides phone service for City Hall, the Library, Public Works, the Recreation Center, Fire Station 1 and the Water Treatment Plants.
Justification
A central PBX system simplifies the management of phone services and allows for the integration of phone services with other City applications
such as unified messaging and fax services. The PBX system was replaced with a Mitel 5000 in 2012. Additional IP handsets will be ordered as
replacements for existing Inteftel digital phones at City Hall and the Fire Station. The current call accounting software is going end of life in 2020
and will be replaced with an add on module to the Phone Manager application implemented in 2019. The system will reach its projected service
life in 2022 at which time other options such as a hosted or hybrid solution will be evaluated.

Description
This project originally funded the purchase ofan electronic records retention system in 2002. Laserfiche was the vendor chosen for the project.
This project is now used to fund its add on modules and the replacement costs for associated scanning equipment, which have a useful life
of 5 to 7 years. Additional client licenses are planned to accommodate additional users and project workflows in 2020. Additional
modules are proposed for later years to allow for improved integration with the City web site.
Justification
is system allows for quick and simultaneous retrieval of documents from any computer on the City network. Both physical document storage
and the occurrence of lost or misfiled documents will be significantly reduced. In addition, documents specified for public access can be
made available to the public from any internet capable computer or mobile device. The system was upgraded to the Laserfiche Avante
atform in 2015. This upgrade included a new workflow engine, web enabled clients and improved auditing and scanning functions. Workflows
automating the scanning and importing of documents were started in 2015. Additional workflow will be created to manage property
records. The I 0 user Public Portal starter module included with the Avante upgrade was upgraded to 25 users in 20 19. An upgrade
the enterprise Public Forms is proposed in2020 which will allow staff to create publicly accessible forms that will integrate with internal

ln addition, several packages which are no longer offered for sale to new customers will also be going
up in price by 510.00 per month. Those include the Elite Pak, Whole Home Pak, Performance Pak and
One Star Packages.
' Depending on the terms of each customer's promotional package, these rate changes may not impact a customer
until their current promotional package expires.
2 Mediacom bills monthly in advance. As a result, the increases for both the Local Broadcast Surcharge and
Regional Sports Surcharge arc based on our best estimate of the cost increases our company will incur for
broadcast and regional sports programming. Mediacom will "true up" customer bills in a subsequent month if it
turns out that our estimate was too high or too low.

Despite massive customer migration away from traditional pay TV services, the owners of the
channels we carry continue to raise their rates. lnstead of adjusting their prices to help slow
customer losses, the channel owners are getting even more aggressive, driving prices higher
and higher for the remaining cable and satellite customers. At the same time, many of these
same channel owners are making much of their content available direct to consumer over the
internet in smaller packages and, in many cases, for better prices.
The long-term effect of all the price increases pushed down by the channel owners onto cable
and satellite companies is that traditional video bundle is no longer affordable. This has
forced many consumers to migrate to web based over-the-top services for their
entertainment needs.
It is becoming more evident that the future of video is over the internet, so we have tried to
make it easy for customers to access content online by deploying consumer friendly TiVo
devices that easily navigate between traditionaltelevision and over-the-top services like
Netflix and Hulu. ln addition, we have continued to invest in our fiber-rich network to make
sure our customers have access to the ultra-fast broadband speeds needed to support
bandwidth intensive online video services they are increasingly using.
To accommodate price sensitive customers, Mediacom introduced a lower cost broadband
service earlier this year called Access lnternet 60 with retail price of $29.99. ln addition,
Mediacom has broadly launched a low-cost internet service for low-income customers
featuring 10 Mbps download speeds for $9.95 per month. The service, called
Connect2com pete, is offered in partnership with EveryoneOn and is available to families with
students participating in the National School Lunch Program. Additional information is
available at www.media omc2c.coc m
Mediacom appreciates the opportunity to continue to serve your community's
telecomm u nications needs. lf you have any questions, please contact me directly at (507)
831-4878 or tsu nd e(a med iacomcc.com. Customers with inquiries should call 855-633-4226
TTtseta,Sunde
The decision to make price adjustments is always a difficult one as we know when we raise
prices, we lose customers. This is an issue plaguing our entire industry. Analysts project that
cable and satellite companies will lose over 6 million video customers in 2019 and over 6
million more in 2020. AT&T/DirecTV lost over 1.4 million customers in the 3rd quarter of 2019
alone.
