September 4, 1996
Approval of Temporary Soccer Field, United Mailing Site
At the August 26 city council meeting, Mayor Chmiel presented the concept of leasing a site from United Mailing,
Inc. for a temporary soccer field. The Mayor had discussed this idea with Mr. Jerome Carlson, CEO of the Instant
Web Companies and long time resident of Chanhassen. Upon conclusion of the discussion that evening, the
following motion was made:
"Councilman Mason moved, Councilwoman Dockendorf seconded to direct staff to prepare a
grading plan and lease agreement with Mr. Carlson for one dollar to develop the site adjacent to
United Mailing as a soccer field with a condition that staff not spend more than $1,000 in
preparing these documents and that the money should come from staff's current budget. All voted
in favor and the motion carried."
In response to this directive, please find attached a grading plan and soccer field lease. Upon acceptance of these
documents, staff will commence final planning prior to initiating construction. The field work (filling, grading,
seeding) associated with this project will be completed in- house. A watershed permit and interim use permit will be
required.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council approve execution of the United Mailing soccer field lease, accept the
grading plan submitted, and authorize final planning and construction of the temporary soccer field.

I COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS:
Mayor Chmiel: Mike, I wasn't at the Housing and Redevelopment Authority because of another
meeting that I had that night. Would you like to elaborate on what...
' Councilman Mason: I wasn't there either.
Mayor Chmiel: Okay.
' Councilman Mason: Todd, have you got any comments? You were there.
Todd Gerhardt: I was there. Mark was there. There was really two items on the agenda. One
was the refinancing, or the financing for the resale of the Hanus facility. That item was tabled to
direct staff to go back and look at, and see if the repurchase agreement is still valid. Staff has
' contacted the City Attorney's office and they're reviewing that at this point. Where the HRA felt
that the agreement might not be valid is that it ran out in October of 1995. However, after
t reviewing that repurchase agreement, it was our obligation to set up a closing so thus it's the
attorney's opinion that the repurchase agreement is still valid. It was our responsibility to
establish the closing. So that will be back on for HRA's consideration again in September.
' Second item was an update on the refinancing of the bowling center for back taxes. To date
appraisals have been completed which have been forwarded over to the financial institutes that
are looking at providing that financing and we should know more in about a week and a half.
Mayor Chmiel: Good. Thanks.
Todd Gerhardt: Minutes were approved.
Mayor Chmiel: Colleen.
' Councilwoman Dockendorf: We met last week and are working on the 1997 budget. Southwest
Metro. One of the good pieces of news to report is that due to the passage of the local levy
' authority this past session at the Minnesota Legislature, we now have approximately $300,000.00
more dollars in our budget than we did last year. And we're pouring all of that into service,
including a bus to St. Paul.
' Mayor Chmiel: Okay. How about the Bluff Creek corridor. Kate, maybe you can.
' Kate Aanenson: Yes, thank you. I'd be happy to comment on that. I hope all of you received
your second draft of the Bluff Creek. We are planning on a work session, which is a regularly
scheduled Planning Commission meeting on September 4`" from 6:00 to 8:00. Besides the
Planning Commission we've invited the Council and the Park and Rec Commission. We'll have
the consultants that worked on the draft plan. It's really to get you oriented and direction and
' philosophy behind the document before Planning Commission holds a public hearing so
h you'll attend and we'll just be sending another reminder of that. But again that's the
Mayor Chmiel: Todd, can you give an update on the Park Task Force?
Todd Hoffman: Or Nancy. Co -Chair Mancino.
Nancy Mancino: Nancy Mancino, 6620 Galpin Boulevard. Current Chair of the Park
Referendum Task Force. We're just getting back going again. We had a month and a half recess
so Alison ... two weeks ago ... starting meetings. We will be meeting two, the second and fourth
Monday of the month and so we'll be starting ... land options. Getting together a survey.
Creating a survey for a telephone survey in January. And we will be getting back to you at the
end of September and get you the project schedule and giving you an update. For an update.
Mayor Chmiel: Good. Thank you Nancy. The thing that I wanted to talk about is the lack of
soccer fields within the city. As you remember last winter we had some discussions in regard to
the basic needs for soccer fields. We have a gentleman in our community who has a piece of
property in and adjacent to, and that's Mr. Jerome Carlson. Over at the United Mailing they have
some additional land that they felt could be utilized for short term until they particularly have
concerns on expanding United Mailing and he would be willing to have us utilize that and it
would be a leasing portion and the price is right. It's about $1.00. It's going to need a little bit of
grading and some additional work. It doesn't appear it's going to be that bad or that much. And
some of the fill that is going to be needed can be gotten from some of the city's maintenance
department and excess fill is available from the local road construction project. But the city
maintenance department could also do this work, which would save us a few more dollars. What
I would like to do is get Council's endorsement to direct staff to prepare a grading plan and lease
agreement with Mr. Carlson for the dollar and to develop the site as a soccer field. I would also
place the condition that staff not spend more than $1,000.00 in preparing these documents and
the money should come from staff's current budget.
Councilwoman Dockendorf And their salaries.
Councilman Mason: Just a quick question on that. What's the city's liability in a situation like
that?
Mayor Chmiel: I think I'll let Roger answer that.
Councilman Mason: You know in the event of injury.
Mayor Chmiel: Well I would imagine we would have the same coverage on that...
Don Ashworth: Anytime that we go over with the schools, they always ask us for an
endorsement on our insurance policy and that's really more for their protection.
Councilman Mason: I just, out of curiousity, the cost on that's pretty neglible?
Don Ashworth: Yeah, we've never received a bill for it.
I
r
1
Councilman Mason: Oh. Well that sounds good to me.
Councilwoman Dockendorf: And parking would be off hours I would think. Well of course they
have three shifts.
Mayor Chmiel: Well they have, when they go through, they still have sufficient parking within
the lot.
Councilman Senn: What kind of terms are you talking about?
Mayor Chmiel: Well, that'd be up to his discretion as to when they probably plan on moving that
expansion. It doesn't look like that's, how long Todd?
Todd Hoffman: I would think we'll get five years out of it hopefully. It may be shorter than that
but it will take a year to grow grass. So we would grow grass next year and play on it the spring
of 1997. It's been out there for quite some time right now. If we can get 5 years out of it, then
the soccer folks would be very happy for those five years. And the sixth year if it goes away,
they would be very sad but.
Councilman Mason: Well I'm willing to take that risk.
Councilman Senn: Well I mean it sounds real generous on Jerome's part. I think it'd be nice to
see the cost information in terms of what it's going to take to do it and I mean just in terms of our
thought process, how does that compare to improving the same way a portion of Bandimere,
which we already own and we don't have to lose the improvements later. I mean again, but again
cost wise it may be so far off that you know we'd say geez. You know Jerome's deal is fantastic.
Let's jump at it but we don't know enough to know that yet.
Mayor Chmiel: Bandimere is a dire need as well as you know. Upgrading within that park and I
think we had an estimate on that several years ago and that was about a million dollars.
Councilman Senn: But that's to do the whole, that's to do the whole park.
Mayor Chmiel: That's the entirety of the park.
Councilman Senn: And that's what I'm just saying, we should look at it...
Todd Hoffinan: The current infrastructure that's in place down at Instant Web and United
Mailing is the real treat here. The parking that's adjacent to it. The access. Bandimere has no
access. No parking. And grading would be significant there to get a field in place. The soccer
organizations have been beating on my door to start initial improvements or temporary
' improvements or call them what you will at Bandimere. That really takes a full scale, or at least
a large portion of a full scale effort to get on the level and get this site graded. To get the parking
lots in and having infrastructure in. We have Jim Tyson now on staff as a heavy equipment
1
operator and we leased a CAT for the summer to do all these park projects so the folks that want
to get rid of the fill will dump that there free of charge. We will place it. Place the top soil and
then seed the site so are costs are going to be real, a contract to put in a silt fence at $500.00-
$600.00 and some other real minor costs. Seed.
Councilman Senn: It sounds like your cost specifications are...
Mayor Chmiel: Okay Mike, you made a motion. Is there a second?
Councilwoman Dockendorf: Absolutely.
'
Y
Councilman Mason moved, Councilwoman Dockendorf seconded to direct staff to prepare
a grading plan and lease agreement with Mr. Carlson for one dollar to develop the site
adjacent to United Mailing as a soccer field with a condition that staff not spend more than
$1,000.00 in preparing these documents and that the money should come from staff's
current budget. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
