SUBJ: Status of RALF applications
' In December, 1993 and January, 1994, the City Council passed resolutions authorizing staff to
submit applications to the Metropolitan Council for Right -of -Way Acquisition Loan Fund
(RALF) monies to purchase the Charles Adelman, parcel #1, and Frank Fox, parcel #2,
' properties in the attached map within the Highway 212 corridor.
Staff has been advised that the applications have been reviewed by the Minnesota Department
' of Transportation (MnDOT) who has certified that the properties are within the highway
corridor and has encouraged the acquisition of the properties. The application for RALF
approval is scheduled for review by the Metropolitan Council Committee of the Whole on
April 14, 1994. It will then be reviewed by the Metropolitan Council on April 21, 1994 for
preliminary approval.
' Once the city receives notification of preliminary approval from the Metropolitan Council, we
must initiate two appraisals of each property. Staff will prepare a bid request for MnDOT
approved appraisers. Following MnDOT appraisal certification, the city may initiate
1 negotiations with the property owners. The city then submits a final application to the
Metropolitan Council for RALF approval. City Council must still grant final approval for the
use of RALF funds for the acquisition of these properties.

RE: Chanhassen Audit
' Dear Sir /Madam:
Our office is legal counsel for the City of Chanhassen. You
' have asked for our response on pending or threatened litigation in
which we represent the City. Our response is as follows:
1. MOON VALLEY AGGREGATE, INC. v. CITY OF CHANHASSEN
a) Description of the nature of the matter. Plaintiff seeks
' to have the Chanhassen mining ordinance declared uncon-
stitutional. The City has counterclaimed seeking an order
that plaintiff must comply with the ordinance.
' b) Progress of the matter to date. The court has determined
that the ordinance is constitutional and that plaintiff
must submit an application. The extent of any conditions
' that the City may impose upon plaintiff's mining
operation has been decided by the court. A decision on
the amount of the restoration fund is expected in April
or May 1994.
C) How the City has responded. The City interposed an
Answer, filed a Counterclaim, and is vigorously defending
the case.
d) Evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome
and estimation of amount or range of potential loss.
Plaintiff is not seeking monetary damages. The court has
already determined that the mining ordinance is enforce-
able.

Letter of Support for STPASTEA Application, Highway 5 and Access Boulevard
Project I
As you are aware, the construction of the Highway 5 access boulevard from Powers Boulevard
to Audubon Road is essential in order to maintain a viable access to Chanhassen's Lake Ann
ommunity Park. The possibility that this segment of roadway, including the trail underpass of
both Highway 5 and the new boulevard at Riley Creek, could be completed within the next 2
years is great news. General congestion at the intersection of the park's entrance road and
Highway 5 has increased on an annual basis. ` During the months of May, June, July and August,
extreme stacking conditions occur Monday" through Friday evenings at peak departure hours of
approximately 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. At these times each night, four to six games conclude
resulting in 120 to 180 vehicles attempting to exit the park within a 10 to 15 minute time period.
I have both witnessed and participated in this mass exit on numerous occasions. Traffic gaps are
few and far between, and when they present themselves, the ",park" traffic tends to take advantage
of them by exiting in gang fashion. This often forces the opposing traffic to slow down or go
around the now accelerating merging traffic.
A second concern stems from the various occasions when we,.actually request the Highway Patrol
perform traffic control at the park's intersection with Highway 5.. The most dramatic example
of this is at the conclusion of the city's annual 4th of July Celebration when in excess of 2,000
vehicles are backed up for more than 30 minutes to exit the park. For the record, there are a
total of 412 paved parking spaces within Lake Ann Park. During special events, such as the 4th
of July Celebration, overflow parking areas are utilized.
Lake Ann Park is the city's largest community park at over 100 acres in size and is considered
a regional attraction for seekers of leisure and recreation. The park encumbers approximately
50% of the shoreline of Lake Ann and features a 360 ft. beachfront, a two -story picnic /recreation
shelter, three reservation picnic sites, a public boat access, fishing pier, four public docks, seven

Mr. Charles Folch

' ballfields, volleyball and tennis courts, two play areas, and a trail system. Traffic volumes
entering and exiting the park are estimated to exceed 100,000 trips annually.
' The second exciting component of this project is the trail improvements which would be realized.
At present, a substandard trail segment connects Lake Ann Park to downtown Chanhassen on the
' north side of Highway 5. This trail is in need of replacement. Of equal importance is the trail
connection which would be made with the burgeoning residential and commercial/industrial park
populations south of Highway 5 via the Riley Creek pedestrian/bikeway culvert underpass. This
' creek corridor is in public ownership and is identified as a key component in the City's
Comprehensive Trail Plan. Upon passing under Highway 5, connections to both Powers
Boulevard and Audubon Road are either in place or planned. The critical links in this system,
however, are the underpasses of Highway 5 and the new access boulevard.
These improvements, the construction of the access boulevard and complimenting trail system,
' represent the best of both worlds, offering a safe and efficient motor vehicle entrance /exit to the
park while simultaneously providing an alternate source of transportation for those who wish to
make use of it.

RE: Application of MnDOT for STP Funds for T.H.5
' Dear Members of the Transportation Advisory Board:
The Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition is a nonprofit corporation which
was formed for the purpose of supporting improvements to Trunk Highway 5 and
construction of a new Highway 212 between Interstate 494 and Cologne.
' The Coalition supports the application of the Minnesota Department of Transportation
for the widening of T. H. 5 including frontage roads from Powers Drive in Chanhassen
to T.H.41.
i The cities of Chaska and Chanhassen and Carver County have previously
contributed financially to the completion of the engineering design for these
improvements.
Between 1986 and 1990 the average daily volume of traffic on T.H.5 increased by 50%
from 20,500 to 30,500 vehicles per day.
' The number of accidents per million motor vehicle miles on T . H . 5 is significantly
higher than the state wide average.
' The school district serving Chaska an Chanhassen (Independent School District
No. 112) has scheduled construction of a large new elementary school at the
southeast corner of T . H . 5 and Galpin Road in Chanhassen which is scheduled to
' begin operation on September 1, 1995.
One of the large industrial parks located within the City of Chaska accesses T. H. 5
' by means of Galpin Road.
For all the foregoing reasons, we believe widening of T. H. 5 to T. H. 41 at the earliest
possible time is important to travelers through Chanhassen from western Minnesota,
as well as local individual and business users of T. H. 5.
We urge approval of MDOTIs application for construction funding for this project.
Thank you for your consideration of our request.

Dear Mr. Brandt:
The purpose of my letter is to formally express the City of
Chaska's strong support for the applications of both the
Minnesota Department of 'Transportation and City of Chanhassen for
' the use of STP funds for the upgrading of Trunk Highway 5. The
City of Chaska's first priority would be to see the application
from MnDOT for the widening of Hwy. 5 including frontage roads
from Powers Drive in Chanhassen to T.H. 41 at the northerly
border of Chaska undertaken. If the Transportation Advisory
Board finds that the project can only feasibly be implemented
through a phasing approach, we would then support the smaller
' project proposed by the City of Chanhassen.
The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Carver County has previously
� j made significant financial contributions to the completion of the
h engineering design for the Hwy. 5 improvements. Although the
Hwy. 5 corridor is not located within the corporate limits of
Chaska, we have recognized for a long time that it is a critical
�i highway connection for our community.
Between 1986 and 1990 the average daily volume of traffic on
' Trunk Highway 5 increased by 50% from 20,500 to 30,500 vehicles
per day. A significant reason for the increase relates to the
rapid job growth within the Chaska and Chanhassen area. During
the 1Ill's the total employment within the Chaska community alone
increased from 3 to over 8 This rapid job growth has
continued in the 1990 Although these economic development
activities have had a positive impact on the economy for the
southwest section of the metropolitan area, it has placed severe
constraints on the limited highway corridors.
MAR -23 -94 WED 9:37
It is for these reasons that the Chaska City Council at a recent
meeting formally went on record supporting the Hwy. 5 Improvement
Projects urging the Tr�1s
the
these as significant p a pplications from the City of
not to consider submitting any app
Chaska, rather it opted to recognize the importance of the Hwy. S
improvements, making this their key priority.
If you have any questions concerning the City position on these
improvements, please feel Free to contact me at your convenience.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Since the mid- 1980's, I have been writing an update to clients and other interested
persons regarding current cable television issues. Most recently, many of you have received the
update while I was at the law firm of Moss & Barnett. You will note from the new letterhead
that I have moved to the firm of Fredrikson & Byron. Working with others in the
communications practice at Fredrikson & Byron, I will continue to provide you updated
information, ideas and suggestions to help you understand the continuing changes occurring in
the cable television and telecommunication industries.
Fredrikson & Byron is a full service law firm of 117 attorneys, with offices in
Minneapolis and London. A telephone card is enclosed with my new phone number and the
names of other key contacts here. Please feel free to call me if you would like more information
or have any questions about this move.
' This update is not intended to provide legal advice, but to give you practical information
and to provide a service to you. It you want to know more about any topic covered by this
update we would be most pleased to prov(de the additional information you desire.
r THE FCC'S FEBRUARY 22 ACTIONS ON RATE REGULATION
Last year, the FCC announced procedures for implementing new rate regulatory
requirements under the 1992 Cable Act. Municipal officials and cable operators alike were
somewhat astounded by what appeared to be very complex procedures, but many municipalities
made the appropriate applications and began a process to examine the rates of cable companies
over which they had regulatory authority. Then, on February 22, 1994, the FCC determined
that another round of procedures and requirements would be implemented, including a process
by which the potential for benchmark rate reduction of up to an additional seven percent (7 %)
over the ten percent (10 %) reduction that had been the goal in last year's procedures. These
new procedures and requirements announced by the FCC on February 22, 1994 are expected to
be issued before the end of this month.
i
I
FREDRIKSON & BYRON, P.A. Page Two
Attorneys At Law March 25, 1994
Under the old rules, the rate regulation process entailed delays for small systems. The
new rules are expected to set forth streamlined procedures that permit cable systems in smaller
,
communities to more easily comply with the rate regulation requirements. And unlike the prior
rules, it is believed that the new rules will clarify the regulatory options for
municipalities embarking upon rate regulation, including clarification of the right to voluntarily
decertify and to delegate regulatory authority to a third party. The new rules are also expected
to strengthen municipalities' enforcement powers.
The regulations about to be issued will also prescribe procedures for a cost of service
'
review. The Cable Act of 1992 granted cable operators the option to request a "benchmark
review" or a "cost of service" review of their rates, but the FCC has never issued procedures for
conducting a cost of service review. The new rules are expected to address this open question.
We anticipate that the FCC will be conducting seminars and other forms of instructional
forums to aid both cable companies and municipalities to better understand the rules and the
procedures that are required. We will furnish information to you about the dates and places of
these instructional programs.
CURRENT FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Congress is currently considering a number of bills that will have long lasting impact on
the regulatory authority of municipalities. Some of the bills being considered by Congress
include:
1) HR3636 sponsored by Representative Edward Markey, Chairman of the
,
Telecommunications and Finance Subcommittee of Energy and Commerce and
Representative Jack Fields, ranking minority member of that Committee.
This bill, which was acted upon by the subcommittee on March 1 and the full committee
during the week of March 14, will allow local telephone companies to provide video
programming directly to subscribers in their own telephone service area. The bill does not
require the telephone companies to obtain a franchise from the regulating municipality unless the
video programming distribution system is a separate and distinct system from the telephone
The bill contains no requirement for public, educational or governmental access
'
operation.
channels, and the telephone companies wo not be required to pay a franchise fee for the use
of the right -of -way.
'
2) Senate 1822 sponsored by Senator Ernest F. Hollings Chairman of the Senate
Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, Senator John C. Danforth
and Senator Daniel K. Inouye.
,
Much like the House bill HR3636, this Senate bill would permit telephone companies to '
compete against cable companies in their own service area, but will not subject the telephone
companies to the same franchise requirements or other regulations that currently govern cable
television companies.
Recently, the National League of Cities met in Washington, D.C. and, like many other
groups representing municipalities, encouraged Congress to consider a number of important
issues affecting municipalities including: I
1 Page Three
FREDRIKSON & BYRON, P.A. March 25, 1994
Attorneys At Law
1) The revenue implications for municipalities;
2) The privacy safeguards needed to protect local government information;
3) Ownership and monitoring the information superhighway.
Other groups including The National Association of Telecommunications Officers and
Advisors (NATOA) and the Alliance for Community Media have urged the retention of
community programming services and advocate for the ability of municipalities to require
channel capacity, as well as other requirements for public, educational and governmental access.
NATOA has issued an action alert urging municipalities to write to their congressmen
and inform them of the positive nature of municipal involvement in the regulation of cable
television, and in the future regulation of the so-called information superhighway. Unless
municipalities take the time to speak out, it is possible that local control over the use of the
right -n-f- way may he Chang -1 alter 14 P\, inn

THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S NATIONAL
INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROPOSAL
Vice President Gore has outlined a national policy by the current Administration which
includes recommendations on the House and Senate bills described above, and which targets the
much discussed so- called information superhighway. The "National Information Infrastructure"
as conceived by the Administration is a plan to assure access to the delivery of voice, video, and
data communication services to every house, business and institution in the country. The
policies outlined by Vice President Gore are intended to overcome barriers or restrictions to such
access. Such potential barriers or restrictions include, the monopolistic character of the existing
Bell operating companies, problems associated with the delivery of service to all individuals,
i.e., a universal service policy, and overly burdensome regulations. Municipal groups need to
convey to the Administration that the local role in the "National Information Infrastructure" is
positive, and that the local authorities are in the best position to encourage the development of
such channels of access and to ensure that community needs will be met.
VID EO DIALTONE
There is also on the horizon significant announcements from the FCC concerning the
development by telephone companies of video dialtone cervices. Based on the 1992 FCC rules,
telephone companies can, on a common drier basis, provide video services on their telephone
systems. Many telephone operators in large metropolitan areas have announced that they intend
to move ahead on the development of such services. Is this a new type of competition for local
cable operators? What will the impact of this competition be? We will continue to update you
on this subject as more information becomes available and developments occur.
UMMARY OF NEXT UPDATE
In our next issue, we will provide:
• an in -depth analysis of the new rate regulation rules, procedures and requirements;
• information on public, educational and governmental access, including a summary of the
ideas being advanced and developed in municipalities across the country. Additional
subjects can be included in our update upon request. We welcome your comments and
suggestions. Please feel free to call or write us.

Under ISTEA, states are asked for the first time to prepare statewide long-range multi -modal transportation
plans are Intended to Influence the development of STIPs, Incorporate results from the
'
manag These
ement systems and coordinate planning with the MPOs and other unb of government.
Over the Iasi year, Mn/DOT has conducted Interviews, focus groups and facilitated discusslom with
representatives from federal and state agencies, transportation Interest groups, regional, metropolitan, county
'
and city government and managers with'i t`, , The purpose of these efforts was to deterrNne
optimal purpose, roles and dimensions .' e e`: .: �,,Aa's statewide multi -modal transportation Plan. In
addition, activities were Initiated to defirk ►r .. purify mwonships between the statewide mufti-modal
transportation plan and recent Mn/DOT strategic managergent planning which has resulted in the
development of a vision and ten strategic directions that must be addressed to achieve the vision.
Based on the work conducted over the last year, a consensus has emerged on the need for a statewide
transportation plan which will provide an over- arching framework for Integrating the modes of transportation
and guiding transportation Investment decisions.
A proposal has been prepared for developing Minnesota's statewide multi -modal transportation plan. The
proposal Is made up of the following sbc elements: (1) People and goods movement conditions and trends:
(2) Transportation and its role In supporting other state social, economic and erndronmental objectives; (3)
Translation of several of Mn/DOTs strategic directions Into statewide operational polkcy; (4) Guidance for

•
toll financing iswdnlikely to be sufficient as a sole
source of financing for the 212 project;
•
the 212 project has a number of attributes which make it
potentially appropriate for toll financing; and
•
although a number of potential investors have expressed
interest in the Highway 212 project as a potential toll
facility, they are hesitant to proceed with further
evaluation of the project without completion of a toll
feasibility study (and they are unwilling to undertake
such a toll feasibility study themselves).

funding for new highway construction projects is likely to continue
for the indefinite future.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request that you authorize
use of $75,000 of the Demonstration Grant Funds previously
authorized for use by MNDOT on the Highway 212 project for
' preparation of an economic feasibility study of the possible use of
toll financing of a portion of the proposed Highway 212 project.
We purpose that the study be undertaken by a nationally recognized
expert in this field. If you have any questions concerning this
matter, we would be happy to meet with you or otherwise respond as
you deem appropriate.

Re: Solid Waste Abatement Projects Grant
Dear Mr. Lein:
The City of Chanhassen requests 1994 grant funds for solid waste abatement programs in
Chanhassen. We understand that the city's allocation is $7,280.00. We intend to use the
funds in the following manner:
Compost bins for home composting $2,662.50
Composting site operations $3,117.50
Educational programs $1,500.00
Total $7,280.00
We understand that once these projects are approved by the Environmental Services Division,
then the city will need to enter into a contractual agreement with Carver County prior to
dispersement of the funds.
If you have any questions or need additiofial information, please contact Bob Generous,

Dear Mr. Ashworth:
Each year Carver County budgets funds to be used at the city
level for solid waste abatement projects. This money comes from
several sources, including grants from the State and the Solid
Waste Service Fee that the County began collecting with the
property taxes in 1992.
The Environmental Services Department has a system to distribute
those funds which allows both small and large cities the
opportunity to receive funds on a equitable basis. Each city
will be allocated a base of $2,000, and the remaining funds will
be divided by the City's percent of the total County population.
Using this method, the City of Chanhassen will be allocated
$7,280.
I
u
In order to distribute the funds, I first need a written request
from the City of Chanhassen describing how the grant money will
be used. After the project has been approved by the
Environmental Services Department, the City of Chanhassen will
need to enter into a contractual agreement with Carver County.
After the contract has been completed and approved, we will
disperse the funds.

This is to follow -up our recent discussions related to extra services for the Chanhassen Estates area
street and utility improvement project. The following is a brief explanation of items that are
beyond the scope of our fixed fee percentage contract.
1. As you are aware, we have spent numerous hours analyzing the viability of saving trees in
the Chanhassen Estates project area. This effort was much more than anticipated under our
current contract. The additional effort has been billed as extra services at an hourly rate.
2. The survey and informational packet that was put together, mailed and analyzed has also
been charged to an extra services portion of the project. This is not something normally
done on projects of this nature and, therefore, was not included in our original scope. To
date we have accrued in excess of $3600 against this task. I anticipate this exceeding $4000
before it is completed. This will be billed on our April invoice.
3. If council requests changes to the plans, a significant effort may be required if the street
width changes or the watermain is relocated. Street width changes will require review, and
possible modification, of all of the plans including, curb lines, catch basin locations, storm
pipe grades, storm structure inverts, hydrant locations, and cross sections. The work related
to such a change would be billed as an extra service.
Please indicate your approval of the above at your earliest convenience.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.

Thank you for expressing an interest in furthering your education and career goals in the area of
fire inspections. I have discussed your working as a volunteer with the City Manager, who
endorses the idea of your assisting Fire Marshal Mark Littfin on a voluntary basis.
You and I have discussed the fact that as a volunteer fire inspector, you will have the opportunity
to work with and learn from Fire Marshal Littfin. You and I have discussed the fact that this
is being done on a voluntary basis, and as a result there will be no compensation in the form of
salary or benefits from the City of Chanhassen to you. This is an excellent opportunity for you,
however, to further your goals of becoming a professional firefighter.
You have also expressed an interest in making yourself available on a voluntary basis to work
with the Community Service Officers. I think this activity on your part would also help you by
permitting you to become familiar with Public Safety procedures and dealing with the public in
a variety of situations. Again, this activity would be done on your part voluntarily, with no
payment or benefits being received from the City.
During your involvement as a volunteer fire inspector, you will be under the direction and control
of Fire Marshal Littfin, and when you are acting as a volunteer Community Service Officer, you
will be under the control of Officer Zydowsky. You are not to pursue Community Service
Officer activities until you have completed the training program, which can be arranged with
Officer Zydowsky.
Letter to Greg Hayes

you in your future career pursuits. Please let me know what I can do to be of assistance to you.
