Attn: Elliott Knetsch Suite 317, Eagandale Office Center 1380 Corporate Center Curve Eagan, MN 55121 Dear Elliott: Enclosed find a copy of the most recent notice sent to Lowell Carlson. As we discussed during our meeting on January 10, 1996, upon receipt of my letter, you were to send Mr. Carlson and /or his attorney a notice of the city's intent to enter the property and construct a fence and assess the costs back to him, as provided in the terms of the Stipulation signed by Judge Goggins on March 15, 1994. I will begin soliciting bids so that we may proceed with installing the fence as soon as the frost is out of the ground. With the large residential development going in adjacent to Mr. Carlson's property, it is prudent that we obtain compliance with the terms of the Stipulation. Upon review of my notes, I discovered that on May 1, 1995, 1 spoke with Janet Carlson who informed me that Lowell was in the hospital and was unable to work on the building and fence. On June 21, 1995, Mr. Carlson submitted a registered survey of the property showing the proposed building. During the month of July, Mr. Carlson contacted staff several times in regards to revising the proposed building. As of this time, it is unclear as to what type of building, if any, Mr. Carlson will construct on the property. Mr. Carlson's intention was to construct the building prior to erecting a fence on the property. Mr. Carlson originally agreed to have the fence in place by June 6, 1994. The city staff tentatively agreed to several extensions provided that Mr. Carlson made an effort to clean up the property and remove the unnecessary materials so that the fence could be installed. As of today's ' date, very little, if any, work has been done to comply with the terms of the Stipulation. Pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation, staff will begin to solicit bids for the construction of the wood ' portion of the fence, which should help screen the equipment and materials from adjacent parcels. The chain link portion of the fence will be dealt with at a later date. Elliott Knetsch February 2, 1996 ' Page 2 Thank you for your assistance.

Enclosed please find a City map indicating the weight limit restrictions which will be imposed on local streets with the City. This letter is ' also intended to serve notice that the City of Chanhassen will not be granting weight restriction waivers and encourages you to take into account all measures necessary to fully comply with the seasonal road weight restriction limits. I also want to inform you that recent pavement management evaluations are indicating that many of the newly constructed roads within the City are showing signs of destructive failure much earlier than anticipated. We believe that a significant contribution to this problem are the overweight loads being carried on these roads, particularly during the spring thaw season. Therefore, the City has recently acquired its own weighing scale and intends to work cooperatively with the Carver County Sheriffs office ' to provide comprehensive surveillance and enforcement throughout the City this spring. With nearly a $100,000,000 replacement value, it is imperative that the City protect its investment in local roads. Therefore, I would ask that everyone do their part and abide by the seasonal weight limit restrictions. t Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this matter.

Therefore it is the City's desire to have this corridor be officially mapped as soon as possible. One major step which needs to be completed in order to officially map the corridor is to complete the environmental assessment (EA) document. The City of Chanhassen has retained the services of the Hoisington Koegler Group (HKG) who is familiar with the Trunk Highway 101 corridor and has performed some initial studies along Trunk Highway 101 in recent years. HKG estimates that it may take up to $25,000 to complete the EA which includes conducting an air quality and noise impact analysis, engineering and surveying by Orr- Schelen- Mayeron & Associates, and biological analysis. This figure does not include dollars that the City has already spent to date on preliminary studies for the corridor. Based on discussions from our recent meeting with MnDOT and Hennepin County on January 26, 1996, it is the City of Chanhassen's understanding that the costs for preliminary studies and EA reports conducted on the Trunk. Highway 101 corridor during this calendar year, in advance of an officially executed turnback agreement (anticipated to be completed by late 1996) will be eligible for reimbursement through the County Trunk Highway Tumback Account as a part of a future improvement project. It is the City's desire to complete the Trunk Highway 101 EA (south of Trunk Highway 5) this spring and official mapping during the early summer. The City is proceeding with the understanding that it will be reimbursed by Carver County through the MnDOT County Trunk Highway Turnback account upon the letting of a roadway improvement project along this corridor. If I am overstating or improperly assuming any points in this letter, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks, Roger. I Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN Charles D. Folch, P.E.

The following report answers the six questions prepared by the Commission. Q1. Discuss what the original intent was for the HRA purchasing the building. Al. The HRA acquired the Pauly /Pony / Przymus Buildings with the intent of razing them and redeveloping the property. The Pony and Przymus Buildings have been razed. Alternative , plans for this site have included a park, office space or a library. Q2. Discuss the success /failure of similar centers. A2. Brooklyn Park considered a teen center a few years ago. The proposal was community driven ' (Grass Roots) but failed to materialize. The City is currently working on the Zane Avenue Youth Center (see attached article). Hutchinson opened a teen center in 1989, named Dry -Dock, in a vacant bar. All of the fixtures, decor and video games were intact upon occupation of the building. A permanent part-time employee was assigned to the center. The failure to attract the youth( "street hangers ", "cruisers ", ' etc.) that the center attempted to target and budget constraints led to its abandonment. Mankato opened a teen center on Pike Street that operated out of a free - standing commercial , _. huilding _ for, 4- 5__ ,Vears..:The�facility. closedadue;to.=a.lack. of. support, Hopkins students have recently approached the city council and school district to create a chemically free center. The students are investigating a temporary lease on a vacant railroad depot. The group is attempting to raise $100,000 in investment capital. Minnetonka students caught wind of the activity in Hopkins and are now exploring alternatives for themselves. I I Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission ' February 21, 1996 Page 2 PC Q3. Expose the terms of the present lease with Russ Pauly, specifically, what agreements have been made over how the building's interior will look upon Mr. Pauly's Departure? A3. Mr. Pauly has the right to gut the building upon his departure. Pauly's owns the furnishings and fixtures and plans on taking them to their new location. Q4. Prepare an estimate of monthly and annual electricity and gas (lights and heat) expenses. A4. $3,000.00 Q5. Prepare a report portraying an example of what the annual operating costs for such an operation could be. A5. This question does not merit the investment of further staff time in the absence of a commitment to this process. Q6. Explore further the concept of operating the center as a non - profit business. A6. This question does not merit the investment of further staff time in the absence of a commitment to this process. Mayor and City Council Don Ashworth, City Manager Todd Gerhardt, Assistant City Manager Grant Recipient Sends Its Thanks D MRPA Board of Directors and MRPA e On behalf of the 1,400 youth living within 6,200 apartment units in Brook- lyn Park, we would like to thank the Minnesota Recreation and Park Asso- ciation for the donation to support the Zane Avenue Youth Center summer recreation program in Brooklyn Park. The Zanewood Park community building will be transformed into a youth center headquarters during the summer months and will be an exten- sion of the already existing Community Resource Center which is located just around the block. The youth center will contribute towards a stronger and more empowered community within the Zane Avenue corridor and will house recre- ation programs for preschoolers, youth, and teens. The City will be working together with other youth serving agencies in Brooklyn Park in order to maximize each other's resources for youth and teen summer programs in our community. Other agencies, such as YMCA, Tree House, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts will also use the center as a location for bus pick -ups and program locations. The city's programs —Our Kids, Our Little Ones, and Our Teens — will be conducted at the center. Field trips and special events will be planned. The programs offered will provide positive recreation activities and increase participants' awareness of the benefits of making positive choices with what to do with their leisure time. Through participation and interaction with adults, se - eenr Mffincrease in ns and youth. By teaching life skills, children will become more self- confi- dent and have a greater sense of feeling safe'and secure in their neighborhoods.' Children and their parents will have opportunities to build positive relation- ships with their neighbors instilling a stronger sense of community spirit and civic responsibility within a socioeco- nomically depressed area. The funding will provide staff, supplies, and bus transportation for special events, classes, sports programs, art and music, cooking, and family activities for 10 weeks during the summer. The total budget for the summer program is $14,000. Many of the activities will be free or very low cost to participants. With MRPA as a collaborative partner, we plan to recognize your organization by includ- ing your logo on all publicity. MRPA will be promoted throughout our program as a contributing partner. An evening family picnic is planned as a kickoff for the center on the last day of school. Without the financial support of the MRPA for this project, we would not be able to proceed with this program.

The committee reviewed the playground plan and decided to recommend the purchase of the equipment. The committee is asking that the Commission confirm your intention to provide matching dollars for this project. Recommendation - It is recommended that the Commission recommend the City Council designate up to $7500 in matching funds for the purchase of a phase II playground expansion at the Chanhassen Elementary/City Center Park "west" playground. These dollars to be drawn from a fund 410 - Park and Trail Acquisition and Development reserve established for this purpose.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some information on an investigation we conducted in response to a concerned resident regarding the legitimacy of the attached solicitation from Hale House in New York. The mailer appears to be something for an organization within the City, if not the City itself. Because I received no response from Hale House, I worked with the Minnesota Attorney General's office, learning that Hale House was not licensed to conduct solicitations in Minnesota. They pursued the matter with Hale House. I later received a response from a representative of Hale House further explaining their position, including the fact that they actually are a charitable organization assisting poor families with premature infants, HIV infected infants, cocaine babies, etc. While the purpose sounded noble, I explained that this situation could have been alleviated had they responded to my initial request. As a result of these efforts, Hale House and their fund raising representatives have changed their solicitation approaches, and are working things out with the Attorney General's office. This entire process took well over three months, and exemplifies how a situation can be pursued to the benefit of the city at large.

PAUL. MN 55101 -2130 ' TELEPHONE: (612) 296 -9412 Scott Harr City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 Re: Solicitation conducted by Hale House Center, Inc. Dear Mr. Harr: I have received your November 28, 1995 letter to the Attorney General concerning a Hale House Center, Inc. charitable solicitation received by Chanhassen resident I apologize for the delay in providing you with a response. We appreciate it when citizens and other government officials take the time to apprise our office of issues that concern them. Minnesota law requires charitable organizations that solicit contributions in this state register with the Attorney General. Registration does not constitute approval or endorsement. Rather, it means potential donors can evaluate whether or not to give to a charity by reviewing the program and financial information on file with a public office. Hale House Center, Inc. located at 154 West 122nd Street, New York, NY 10027, is not presently registered to solicit contributions in this state. The Attorney General will contact Hale House Center to seek its compliance with state charity registration laws. As you may be aware, while states may require a charity register, the United States constitution affords free speech protections to the organization. According to a representative of Hale House, the reference in the solicitation to the "Chanhassen Annual Fund Drive" merely means the appeal is being mailed to a person in Chanhassen. Unfortunately, we did not receive the entire mailing and cannot evaluate whether it falsely represents that money raised through the appeal somehow benefits the City of Chanhassen. It appears donations go to a New York charity that has no apparent programs in Minnesota. This practice of localizing appeals is unfortunately somewhat common. The .Attorney General,recentl.y . fi.led -an-action against-a- Norida:.eharity that, -among other problems, used localized appeals that were alleged to be deceptive. If further information develops on Hale House's solicitations, it will be evaluated for legal violations.
