1-494 Corridor COmtnassioa Proposed Changes to the 1.4494 Corridor
Ross Thwfiuwou - Chair Commissiom
David Lindahl - City Staff Rep, i
Lisa Raduanz - Consultant
REQUESTED ACTION:
5upoort changing the mission and goals, and expanding the raernbership of the 1.494 Corridor Commission to
the following:
Promote the complete reconstruction of I -494 from the Minnesota River to 1 -94,
Urge Feds, %&DOT, Metro Council, and others to fund reconstruction through strong lobbying efforts.
Expand membership to include all stakeholders (especially businesses).
Cownlit additional staff resources if needed to attemi Commission meetings.
PRESENTER:
Lisa Radu=z ofLGR, Inc., , Ae present a summary ofthe proposed changes to the City Council. LGR. Inc. was
retained by the Cortamission in 1995 as part of a two -year contract to promate ridsharing programs throughout
the corridor, The contract is being financed through a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CNIAQ) gmm
through the Federal Transportation Administration.
BACKGROUND:
The C=Crd pion mmtMft includes the cities of Maple Grove, Plymouth, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Edina.
Bloomington, and Richfield It organized in 1996 for two reasons:
To help complete the EIS for reconstruction of 1.494 from Minnesota liver ,o I- -394.
To promote the use ofrk6gWi1g, transit, and staggered work hours to help reduce growing peak hour
travel congestion on 1-494,
Complete reoonstnrction of 1-494 was planned to begin in 1996, but has been pushed Out 10 -15 years by
MaDOT anti, the Metro Council because of a lack of fimdmg. The reconstruction plans included adding general
use lanes, ride -share and transit lanes (High Occupancy Vehicle HOV lanes), rebuilding bridges, and installing
ratty meter bypass lanes for buses and ride -share vehicles. Without HOV and meter bypass lanes, there are no
advantages (time savings) for those ride - sharing or using buses. In other words, it is a waste of effort u
reduce travel demand through ridasharin& until the freeway is improved. This is why the Commission is
proposing to shift its focus Stom managing travel demand to advocating for the reomst'ruction of 1-494.
SUPPORT INFORMATION: Please review the attached mission, goals, strategies, and proposed
restructuring.

Re: Response to Tires Plus and Applebees Purchase Agreement Questions
Dear Mr. Burdick:
This letter is in response to your memo dated March 7, 1997. Listed below are the clarifications
of the purchase agreements with Tires Plus and Applebees.
Apple American Partnership of Minnesota /Tires Plus Group Ltd.
1. Yes, they received 525,000 worth of TIF to offset their utility charges associated with a full
service restaurant. The purchase price was reduced by 510,000 for soil corrections at the
time of closing and this was not TIF related. Tires Plus did not receive TIP, soil corrections,
or utility credits.
2. You received the full and completed purchase agreements on both transactions.
3. Not knowing what information you are looking for, I would request that you schedule a time
with Karen Engelhardt, the city's office manager, to review the files and make any copies you
may need.
Tires Plus Group Ltd.
1. See answer to question 5 under Apple American Partnership of Minnesota.
Apple American Partnership of Minnesota
1. The buyer felt we were requesting too much green space so we added this language for their
comfort level. They received no compensation because the non - impervious surface covering
was less than 35 %.
Mr. Brian Burdick
March 12, 1997
Page 2
2. They will receive the entire $25,000 credit as stated early in this letter.
3. Yes, she was paid $20,000 as stipulated in the purchase agreement.
4. No, as I have been informed by the city attorney's office, purchase agreements need not be
notarized.
5. This parcel is located west of the Chanhassen Inn, south Highway 5, and north of West 79
Street. The city /HRA purchased this parcel from Tires Plus who had rights to this property.
The city purchased this site to expand our holding pond capabilities and for wetland
mitigation. The city has no plans to sell the land for development and Applebees requested
that in writing.
If you have any questions regarding my response, please do not hesitate to call me. If not, you
may contact Karen Engelhardt to set up a time to review the files and determine which
agreements you want copies of for further review.

MEMO TO: MR. TODD GERHARDT, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRIAN H. BURDICK
DATE: MARCH 7, 1997
SUBJECT: PURCHASE AGREEMENT INFORMATION FOR TIRES PLUS GROUPE LTD.
AND APPLE AMERICAN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF MINNESOTA
Dear Todd
At this time, we have reviewed both purchase agreements which you sent to us per my request of
February 19, 1997. Again, we thank you for the prompt response in sending these purchase
agreements to our office.
After review of these purchase agreements we have a few questions and issues which we would
appreciate clarification and explanations. They are as follows:
In reference to both of the purchase agreements, we have the following questions and
clarifications:
1. Was there any type of TIF financing available for either or both of these transactions? If TIF
financing was indeed available, did either of the buyers actually use TIF financing for these
projects?
1 Are these purchase agreements you sent to us on February 19, 1997, the full and complete
agreements on both of these transactions? That is, there appears to be some omissions on both of
these agreements. For example, the Tires Plus agreement does not have a date on the first page
and is missing page eight, (it appears this could be a critical important page) and these
agreements do not appear to be notarized. As you know, there is a page included with both
agreements to be notarized. However, the information has not been completed and signed
accordingly.
In addition, it appears there may be other agreements involved in both of these transactions_ such
as a declaration of cross access, utility and parking easements and so forth. Obviously, these
types of additional agreements /addendums would be of critical importance to these purchase
agreements. Todd, the questions is, would you please send to us any and all additional
agreements relating to these two transactions. k
:OM : PHONE NO. : 6124747543 Mar. 07 1997 01:39PM P3
In relations to the Tires Plus Groupe Ltd purchase agreement, we have these specific comments
and questions. They are as follows:
1. On page seven, item 8.1 of the purchase agreement, there is a reference to the City of
Chanhassen "acquiring title to the real property ............................" Would you please clarify this
item and explain this in detail. At the end of the first paragraph under heading 8. 1, the purchase
agreement reads " The total amount to be paid by the City of Chanhassen for Tax Parcel ID 425-
35 -00320 shall not exceed $120,000.00." Would you please clarify this and explain what this
means?
In relation to the Apple American Partnership of AZinnesota purchase agreement, we have these
specific comments and questions. They are as follows:
1. It appears there was a credit to the buyer (purchaser) of $8.50 per square foot for each square
foot of non - impervious surface covering exceeding 35% of the total square footage of the subject
property, based on the final plan for development of the subject property approved by the City of
Chanhassen. Please clarify and explain this in detail. Also, how much credit, if any, did the
buyer receive?
2. How much credit, if any, did the buyer receive up to a maximum of $25,000 in assistance for
utility services?
3. Was the buyer's broker paid the full comunission of $20,000 as stipulated in the purchase
agreement?
4. The final page 12 (twelve) has been appropriately executed. However, page 15 (fifteen) has
not been notarized as required. Was this purchase agreement notarized?
5. On page 10, Item 9.2. This item states "Seller shall not construct any improvement on Tax
Parcel #25 -35- 00320 ". What does this mean?
Todd, I realize we are asking for quite a lot of additional information to clarify these purchase
agreements. However, it appears that this additional information is of critical importance in
order to clearly review both of these purchase agreements for our references. We most certainly
appreciate your help with all of this and would appreciate your prompt response.
Please call with any questions.

Dear Karen:
Thank you for your note on the development of the " Pauly's" property.
The Planning Staff and the City Council share your concern regarding
development in this area. With St. Hubert's moving to another location
and possible redevelopment in this area the City Council will be
reviewing development options in this area in early June. The
historical significance of this area is important to take into
consideration for any future development or redevelopment in the area.
Again, thank you for your note and I will try to keep you informed of
decisions and recommendations of the Council.

1500 Norwest Financial Center
7900 Xerxes Avenue South
Bloomington, MN 55431 -1194
Re: Site Plan Permit #96 -8, Variance #96 -8, and Conditional Use Permit #96 -3 for Nancy Lee
and Patrick Blood dba Paws, Claws and Hooves Pet Boarding, LLC (the "Applicant ").
Dear Mr. Griffith:
This letter is in response to your letter dated February 27, 1997, addressing terms and /or conditions
of the above referenced agreement.
Section 20 -30 of the Chanhassen Zoning Ordinance entitled "Recording Permits"
requires all variances, conditional use permits, and site plan approvals to be recorded against
the title of the property for which a permit is granted (copy enclosed). Until these documents
are recorded against the title of the property, the city may not issue any type of construction
permit. When staff prepared the agreements for your client to sign and record, it was done in
a "Findings of Fact" format. When the City Attorney reviewed the documents, he infonned
us that "Findings of Fact' formats are not recordable and it would need to be changed.
On December 9, 1996, staff issued a foundation permit for your clients to start grading the
site and preparing the building pads. At that time, I explained to your clients, in the presence
of David Hempel, Assistant City Engineer and Steve Kirchman, Building Official, that the
"Finding of Fact" document which they had previously signed will need to be revised and
signed and that I will mail the new agreement to them. The agreement which you refer to in
your letter was sent via certified mail, however, it was returned to the City as unclaimed.
Staff then mailed the documents via regular mail. This agreement was forwarded to your
office for review.
2. No comment.
Mr. William C. Griffith, Jr.
March 17, 1997
Page 2
3. The site plan which appeared before the City Council showed minimum tree removal. In
fact, the buildings were situated in areas that were void of vegetation. The wetland should
have been delineated before site plan approval was given. In order to save the applicant the
up front expense, the City took a proactive position and allowed them to proceed without the
delineation. As a condition of approval of the application, your client was required to
delineate the wetland on site and meet all wetland setback requirements. After the
delineation was completed, it was discovered that the edge of the wetland extends farther
into the site than was presented on the site plan. To meet the wetland setbacks, the
Commercial Kennel building was shifted to the east and into areas occupied by mature trees.
Rather than taking the plan back to the City Council for amendments to the approved
application, and to help your clients, staff processed the change administratively. The
change in placement required more grading and additional tree loss. The City Ordinance
requires tree replacement. Your clients have two choices. The first choice is to follow the
letter of the ordinance which requires a tree survey denoting all mature trees on site, the inch
caliper of these trees, percentage of canopy removed, and tree replacement plan. I have
enclosed a copy of these requirements for your information and to show how cooperative the
City has been in order to accommodate your clients. The second option is to sign the
enclosed agreement and submit a letter of credit at 110% of the cost of restoring the site.
4. The City Ordinance also requires all disturbed soils to be re- vegetated and stabilized
immediately after the completion of grading. A Letter of Credit is required prior to the
issuance of the building permit to guarantee compliance with the letter of the ordinance.
This amount is calculated at 110% of the actual price of restoring all disturbed areas (Section
18 -61 (d) (11)).
5.a. Section 20 -237, Revocation and inspection states that the City may revoke the permit
following a public hearing for violation of the terms of the permit (copy enclosed).
5.b. Section 20 -236, Expiration states that if substantial construction has not taken place within
one year of the issuance of this permit, the permit is void unless an extension is granted by
the City.
5.c. Section 1 -9, General penalty; continuing violations states that violation of the City Code is
a misdemeanor punishable to the maximum extent authorized in Minnesota Statutes Section
412.231. Each day any violation continues is a separate offense (copy enclosed).
6.a. The City Council approved a metal construction stable building and a metal, brick and wood
commercial kennel building. Metal buildings are prohibited in Chanhassen, which your
client requested. Staff supported and recommended approval of a variance for your clients.
The City Council voted to approve the variance allowing the stable to be constructed of
metal and denied the metal construction of the commercial kennel. The commercial kennel
was approved to be constructed of wood and metal. The language stands.
Mr. William C. Griffith, Jr.
March 17, 1997
Page 3
6.b. Section 20 -57, Violation of conditions imposed upon variance; termination for nonuse,
states that a variance shall become void within one year following issuance unless substantial
action has been taken by the petitioner in reliance thereon (copy enclosed).
All requirements in Section 8- Exhibit B are standard conditions that have been approved by
the City Council for all Conditional Use Permit applications.
In your letter you stated that you look for my cooperation in regard to this application. I have been
cooperating from the first day when I met with your clients and agreed to recommend approval to
amend the zoning ordinance in the Fringe Business District to accommodate their business. I
accepted incomplete, substandard plans and processed them. The City normally rejects incomplete
applications. When your client requested not to delineate the wetland until the City Council makes a
decision on the project, staff bent the rules one more time and allowed the site plan to proceed
without the wetland delineation which is required by ordinance as part of the application submittal.
From the first day of meeting with your clients, I have made copies of all ordinances pertaining to
the site plan, conditional use, and variance requirements. Staff has tried to explain the requirements
repeatedly.
The final building permit application will not be issued until the agreement has been signed. Two
copies with a revised business name (as pointed out correctly in your letter) are enclosed. Please
have your clients sign them and return them as soon as possible so they may be recorded with Carver
County.
I have done nothing but cooperate with your clients in processing this application. Now it is our turn
to look for your cooperation in this regard.

Sharmin Al -Jaff,

Re: Site Plan Permit No. 96 -8, Variance No. 96 -8 and Conditional Use Permit No. 96 -3 for Nancy Lee
and Patrick Blood d/b /a Paws, Claws and Hooves Pet Boarding, LLC (the "Applicant ");
Our File No. 22,253 -00
Dear Ms. Al -Jaff:
On behalf of the above Applicant, I have reviewed the proposed agreement delivered to my client by letter
dated January 29, 1997 (the "Agreement "). I have the following comments with regard to the proposed
Agreement:
1. The City did not adopt a condition of approval requiring that a development agreement be
executed by the Applicant. In fact, I question the practice of having an applicant execute any
findings document, because findings are an affirmative act of the City in its review of the
application, not of the Applicant. Unless there is specific authority for requiring a development
agreement, my client will not execute the Agreement as a condition of obtaining building permits.
2. The developer is "Paws, Claws and Hooves Pet Boarding, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability
company."
3. In paragraph 4, please clarify what you mean by "required landscaping" because specific
landscaping was not required, other than restoration by "seed or sod within two weeks of
completion of construction."
4. In paragraph 5, your requirement for a letter of credit or equivalent is not a condition of approval.
As such, the applicant will not submit such security in order to obtain a building permit.

5. The following conditions of site plan review have been added after the city's final action on this
matter:
a. Condition No. 18 regarding termination of the permit;
b. Condition No. 19 regarding lapse of use;
C. Condition No. 20 regarding criminal penalty.
6. The following conditions of approval of the variance have been added following final City
Council action on Variance No. 96 -8:
a. Condition No. 1 reciting that the approval of a variance to allow the metal building for the
commercial stable building and reciting denial of the variance for construction of a metal
commercial kennel building.
b. Condition No. 2 regarding lapse of a variance if not used within one year.
7. All of Exhibit 8 has been added following City Council action on this matter. Other than those
City code requirements which clearly and specifically apply to this use, I cannot recommend that
my client agree to additional conditions of approval.
As I stated in my letter to City Manager, Don Ashworth, dated December 5, 1996, the Applicant has
encountered a number of delays due to requirements proposed after final approval by the City Council,
and the inability of staff members to clearly articulate what is required to process and obtain building
permits. This situation is only exacerbated by an after - the -fact requirement that the developer execute a
development agreement which contains a substantial number of new conditions which were not adopted at
the time of final approval of the above - application. Your letter states that you will not be able to process
any further applications on this project until the agreements have been recorded at Carver County
recorder's office. As I stated at the outset, this is not a condition of approval of this project. Therefore,
the Applicant will not comply with these requirements to obtain a building permit.
The final building plans for this project will be completed in the next two to three weeks. Thereafter, on
or around March 15, 1997, this office will file for a building permit, and related permits for construction
of the project. I will advise my client to comply with each and every condition of final approval of this
project, and any specifically applicable City Code requirements. However, my client will not comply
with any conditions imposed after the fact, or unofficially adopted by request of city staff.
Again, my client has experienced significant additional costs as a result of delays and additional
requirements. We will entertain no further delays. We will aggressively enforce our client's right to
obtain a building permit in a timely fashion.
We will look for your cooperation in this regard.
