Dear Resident:
On June 14, 1997, Chanhassen voters approved a $4.9 million referendum for parks, open space, and
trails. Six community trail segments were included in this proposal. As a resident residing adjacent to or
nearby one of these six new trails, it is our desire to engage you in the planning process for these trails
either through your active participation in public meetings or by sUnp1y keeping you informed.
Enclosed you will find a map depicting the proposed alignment for the trail in your area. Over the next
few weeks, stakes with colored ribbons attached will be placed in the field allowing you the opportunity
to see for yourself the proposec;itrai1 routes. Some staking hasalieadybeen completed for survey
control. Three.different ribbon colors are being utilized:
Orange: Indicates approximate centerline ofthe new 8 fto wide bituminous trail.
Blue: Indicates areas where "temporary" construction easements will most likely be needed. These
easements give the contractor the necessary elbow room to cOInplete their work. In addition, restoration
including "blending" and landscaping, is often accomplished within these easements. Landowner&are
compensated for temporary easement acquisition.
Green; Indicates areas wherepennanent easements will most likely be required. Land owners are
compensated for permanent easement acquisition. These easements are only being proposed where
absolutely necessary.
To open the doors for discussions regarding how the construction of these trails impact you, the
following public meetings have been scheduled. Written correspondence is also welcome.

Dear Project Stakeholder:
On June 14, 1997, Chanhassen voters approved a $4.9 million referendum for parks, open space
and trails. Two community park projects were included in this proposal-the construction of
Bandimere Community Park and the redevelopment of City Center Park. On Tuesday,
November 18, 1997, the Chanhassen Park & Recreation Department and Brauer & Associates
will host an initial program development meeting for both parks. These important gatherings
will be held in meeting rooms 3 and 4 at the Chanhassen Recreation Center, 2310 Coulter
Boulevard (adjacent to Bluff Creek Elementary School).
The City Center Park meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. The Bandimere Park meeting will start at
7:30 p.m. Please review the attached materials for more information about these upcoming
meetings. Take the time to complete the user group survey for the parks that are of interest to
you and bring the completed forms to the November 18th meeting.
The community's hard work on behalf of quality parks and recreation paid off. The exciting task
of designing these long awaited park projects is about to begin. We look forward to your input.
Sincerely,
Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director
Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Supervisor
Jeffrey Shoenbauer, Principal, Brauer & Associates

Introductory Statement
Overview of Project Work
Program / Meeting Agenda
User Group Survey for Field
Design
The Brauer & Associates, Ltd. team looks forward to working with
the citizens of Chanhassen on developing Bandimere Park and
redeveloping City Center Park. Both projects offer exciting
opportunities to provide much needed outdoor athletic facilities for
the community while still maintaining an appealing park atmosphere
that offers neighborhood park amenities, open space and greenery.
As part of the project, members of the community will have an
opportunity to participate in the design process to ensure that the end
result will be successful in meeting the needs of the community.
The following page provides an overview of the work tasks that
Brauer & Associates will be undertaking as part of the master planning
phase of the project. The November 18th meeting will focus on the
"Program Development" work task, in which we will consider
developmental issues and concerns and define the type of facilities
most desired for the two parks.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows:
. Introductions
. Project background
. Site analysis review
. Review of preliminary program (as previously defined by the City)
. Open discussion of issues and topic areas, including review of
"User Group Survey for Field Design" (see attached)
. Summation of program ideas and considerations
. Discussion of next step in the design process
Attached is a user group survey for gathering basic information about
the design for certain types of outdoor athletic facilities. Association
leaders, School District personnel, and other interested individuals
should fill out the survey to the extent possible.
For your convenience, the basic layouts for the two parks as
previously prepared are provided as a reminder of the type of facilities
that are being considered. Note that these layouts are only a starting
point for discussion and do not necessarily represent the final layout
or mix of facilities for each park.

Bandimere and City Center Parks -City of Chanhassen
Work Program - Master Plan Phase
FOCUS MEETING
Focus Meeting: The general purpose of the focus meeting is to allow the Brauer team
the opportunity to develop a very clear understanding of the scope of the project,
intended outcome, city's expectations of the consultant's services, confirm key
individuals, associations, committees, City staff members, etc. who will be involved in
the project or have information that will affect the project, and general review and
discussion about the issues and concerns related to this project.
SITE
ANALYSIS
Site Analysis: Through field research and review of site information and mapping, the
Brauer team will work (in concert with city staff, as appropriate) to identify the park's
physical characteristics and determine its developmental opportunities and constraints.
This will allow both the city and Brauer team to develop a clear understanding of the
site's unique characteristics.
PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT
Program Development: Developing a complete and comprehensive assessment of
needs, facility demands, and priorities is absolutely essential to the success of the
project and is viewed as one of the most important phases of the design process. The
Brauer team will work closely with the city to:
Identify and address the many issues affecting the development of this park.
Identify and define the development concerns, recreational uses, site amenities,
and facilities desired and appropriate for this park. (The list of development
concerns listed in the RFQ will be incorporated into this work task, thus ensuring
that each one ofthe issues listed will become an integral part of the design.)
Identify, qualify, and prioritize needs.
Develop evaluation matrix defining the development program (to be used to
evaluate the schematic concepts and master plan).
DEFINE LAND USE ZONES
AND PRINCIPLES OF
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Lane! Use I Sustainable Development: Working collaboratively with city staff, the
Brauer team will develop a Land Use Zone map and supportive text that begins the
process of determining the best use of the park within the context of its land
resources and the development program. The principles of sustainable development
-- a design that will endure public use and land practices that protect the land
resource -- will also be defined. Environmental impact (on & off-site) will be assessed.
SCHEMATIC CONCEPT
DEVELOPMENT
Schematic Concepts: Building upon the previous tasks, the Brauer team will prepare
alternative schematic concepts for the site. Given the number of issues already
identified by the city, there will be no shortage of options in developing these
concepts. Specific criteria affecting the concepts include: what are the ideal physical
relationships between the facilities proposed for the site within the context of the
Land Use Zones?; can the physical relationships be developed to limit the duplication
of support structures?; what opportunities does the site present and how can these
be taken advantage of in the design? The evaluation matrix will be used to evaluate
each concept.
MASTER
PLAN
AND
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Master Plan and Implementation Plan: Using the adopted concept plan, the Brauer
team will prepare a master plan (preferred plan) for the park. The master plan will
represent the design solution that best responds to the needs and desires of the city
while remaining within their ability to fund improvements over a reasonable period of
time. Since the master plan essentially refines the accepted concept, a host of more
specific issues will arise that must be addressed, such as: how can the relationships
between facilities be further refined, what "themes" need to be developed, how will
engineering aspects of the site affect development costs?
An implementation plan encompassing a cost estimate, phasing plan (if needed), and
set of action steps for implementing the master plan will also be prepared. This takes
into consideration cost estimates and the city's ability to fund the project.

Overview: The intent of this survey is to gather basic information about the optimal design for the facilities being
considered for the two parks from the perspective of the user groups that will be them for athletic
programs. Association leaders, School District personnel, and other interested individuals should fill out t
survey to the extent possible. The completed surveys should be brought to the November 18th meeting,
where we will openly discuss the optimal design standards for each of the facility types listed.
Please note that the survey only relates to ballfield and soccer field design standards. This is because thes
types of facilities tend to vary more than others and thus require more in-depth study. It should be noted
however, that we will also be discussing the optimal design standards for all of the other types of outdoo
facilities being considered for these two parks.
