Dear Dave:
In preparing their 1994 budget recommendations, the Chanhassen Park and Recreation 1
Commission confirmed their interest in expanding the west play structure at City Center
Park/Chanhassen Elementary School. If you recall, the first phase of the structure (tan and
green) was purchased and installed by the city in 1991, at a cost of $9,995.00. This year the
commission identified a fund reserve totaling $25,000.00 to match district dollars for purchase
of Phase II, or Phase II and III. Both of these phases could be installed, for approximately
$25,000.00 per phase. A small diagram depicting these phases is enclosed. Ms. Helen Merchant
has in her possession, a large rendering of the playground.
Pending approval of the Park Department's budgets, we stand prepared to participate with the
district in enhancing the play area at City Center Park/Chanhassen Elementary School. Please
forward a response to this inquiry at your convenience. 1

1 Dear Helen:
As you are aware, the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission chose to include S10,000 in the City's 1992
' Park Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement Program for play equipment at City Center Park. This
money was included as a 50% share toward the purchase of the second phase of play equipment for the west
playground. The City Council approved this allocation as part of the 1992 budget process.
1 The first phase of the Landscape Structures (green and tan play equipment) was installed last spring at a cost
of approximately S10,000. The second phase, as identified on the plan which I left with you, has a value of
approximately $20,000 installed. If the School District is in a position of funding 50% of this cost, S10,000, a
1 purchase order could be placed. As can be seen from the plan, the installation of the second phase will enlarge
the play value of this structure tremendously, wili7ing the entire length of the play surface already in place. The
third phase would further fill the area and can be purchased at any time in the future.
1 The completion of the playground improvement project this past fall was an exciting time for the School District
and the City. Superintendent Clough recently mentioned this project in a letter which appeared in our local
newspaper. It is the hope of the City and the Park and Recreation Commission that we can continue to improve
1 the opportunities at the school and playground through this joint venture.
I look forward to hearing from you in this regard.

Monn Valley Mining Area
Chanhassen, Ninnesota
1 Dear Mr. Hall:
II Following are comments on the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) /State Disposal System (SDS) referenced above.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is concerned with the sediment
II entering Rice Lake, which is located on the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife
Refuge. The heavy erosion results in a heavy layer of silt accumulation on
submergent vegetation in Rice Lake and restricts the potential for new growth
1 by increasing turbidity and drastically reducing the penetration of sunlight.
The objectives set for Rice Lake in the Refuge Master Plan cannot be met
because of this condition. Although sediment does enter Rice Lake from other
II areas, the severity is not equaled per unit area in any other area of the
watershed.
Past experience at the quarry has shown that erosion control practices have
I been insufficient to control runoff and resulting sedimentation. At the
present time, erosion from the quarry has resulted in up to 2 feet of
sand /gravel fill on approximately 0.5 acres of wetland on the refuge. The
II erosion from the quarry has created a delta of fill in Rice Lake that starts
at the culvert under US 169 -212. The fill material includes sand and rock up
to 4" in diameter. Not only does this have negative effects on the Minnesota
River Ecosystem but it is also a violation of the National Wildlife Refuge
I System Act. The erosion has also resulted in filling the 48" culvert under US
169 -212 with approximately 36" of sand /gravel.
I Because of the Service's concern with sedimentation into Rice Lake, I
recommend that Section B (Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements) be
revised to include a greater frequency of measurement of Total Suspended
II Solids. Measurements should be required after all rainfall events. The
current frequencies of measurement may not be sufficient to monitor the
effectiveness of erosion control efforts. Based on the summer /fall of 1993,
flow events during September /October resulted in a large amount of sediment

SUBJECT: Draft NPDES /SDS 1
Permit MN 0061662
Dear Mr. Hall: `.
The City of Eden Prairie, as an abutting community to Moon Valley, has interest in the
individual NPDES permit for this gravel mining operation.
Our Staff concurs that sediment from Moon Valley has washed over U.S. 169 -212 and deposits
into the Minnesota River bottom flood plain and Rice Lake. Rice Lake is located both in
Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. This sediment impact upon the floodplain and lake has occurred
over the years, and measures installed last year did not appear to control the problem. 1
The following comments are submitted on the permit: (Permit Item)
•
1. (B.) The effluent characteristics from the outfall should meet with the approval of the
D.N.R. and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service due to its impact upon the water quality
of the public waters /refuge area. 1
2. (C. 5,6 & 8) The City of Eden Prairie would want to be on a notification list of any
expansion plan or new outfall location. 1
3. (C. 10.) The requirement for temporary protection of exposed areas should be closely
monitored. This can have significant results in controlling erosion. 1
The City appreciates the opportunity to comment on the permit. This facility's operations has
periodically impacted the safety of U.S. 169 -212 (heavy sediment on and over the road) and the
water quality of a lake and floodplain shared by Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The proposed
permit should alleviate the past problems.

RE: NPDES Permit No. MN 0061662
Applicant: Moon Valley Aggregate, Inc.
I Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 15895.1 • .
Thank you for sending the Metropolitan Council public notice on the draft NPDES referenced
1 above. We have administratively reviewed the permit renewal application and offer the following
comments.
•
I In January 1990, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and EPA developed a goal to reduce
nonpoint source pollution in the•Minnesota River by 40 percent by July 1996. The Council
responded by adopting an interim nonpoint source pollution strategy which took effect September
I 30, 1992. That strategy calls for use of National Urban Runoff Program (NUR ?) criteria in
designing stormwater ponds and Best.Management Practices (BMPs) in dealing with nonpoint
source pollution.
1 According to this permit application, stormwater is discharged to •Rice Lake at outfall 010. Rice
Lake discharges to the Minnesota River after high rainfall events. Stormwater discharge from the
. site is in violation of turbidity standards and turbidity and total suspended solids (ISS) are a
1 major problem in the Minnesota River: To obtain the best•'uveraU view of exact amounts of TSS
discharged to Rice Lake, the Council recommends that the permit require monitoring which
focuses more on a composited event -based sample rather than a instantaneous grab sample.
Because of turbidity violations in the past, the Council also recommends a stormwater
• management plan be required for the site. The interim strategy described above provides the
1 necessary components to control ling nonpoint source pollution.
Sincerely, .

SUBJ: Park Improvements
As you are aware, the park/street crews are overbooked with projects. Many of these "projects"
are park improvements which were scheduled as a part of the department's annual capital
improvement programs. With work unable to be completed, citizen unrest with the lack of
progress became apparent. In an effort to alleviate these problems, I solicited quotations for a
variety of the held -over work items. This work list was developed based on the level of priority
111
placed on each item. Finely Brothers Enterprises and Kusske Construction were sent quote
sheets. With the lateness of the season, Kusske Construction elected not to submit quotes. To
ensure that the prices received from Finely Brothers were competitive, I reviewed them with
Charles Folch, Mike Wegler, and Dale Gregory. Of the eight items, we determined five of them
were priced at a level which was in the interest of the city. A copy of the confirmation letter
to Finely Brothers in the amount of $17,739 is attached for your signature. Much of the work
is asphalt related and can be completed within two weeks. All of these items were budgeted as
a part of the 1992 or 1993 Capital Improvement Programs.

Dear Mayor:
Thank you for your letter regarding proposed amendments to
the Safe Drinking Water Act and the associated problem of
unfunded mandates. I appreciate your having taken the time to
share your views with me on this important matter.
The House Energy and Public Works committees both approved
' legislation this year designed to help states finance
construction of drinking water treatment plants that are needed
to comply with federal mandates. H.R. 1701 which would amend the
Safe Drinking Water Act, would authorize $3.6 billion over four
years to establish a new revolving loan program under the
Environmental Protection Agency.
' The second bill, H.R. 1865 would authorize $2.6 billion over
three years for drinking water treatment assistance. However,
this legislation differs in that it would use the revolving loan
fund structure already in place under the Clean Water Act to
distribute money to the states.
I understand the financial and regulatory concerns of
' smaller communities with respect to the Safe Drinking Water Act.
I have a long history of opposing federal mandates, and I have
promoted legislation to fund mandates, such as the Safe Drinking
Water Act amendments. State and local governments are suffering
financial hardships across the nation, and I find it
unconscionable that the federal government continues to impose
unfunded mandates without regard for community needs and
1 budgetary constraints.
For your review, I have enclosed a copy of the statement
1 which I gave on the Senate floor on October 27, 1993 in honor of
National Unfunded Mandates Day.
' As a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and
Public Works, I will have the opportunity to closely examine any
Safe Drinking Water legislation that should come before the
Senate. You may rest assured that I will work to ensure that the
' final bill accommodates the need for funded mandates, as well as
the need for a safe drinking water supply.

Dept. of Transportation
I 1500 Co. Rd. B2 West
Roseville, MN 55113
1 Dear Evan:
You have asked for information concerning the long term use /reuse of the Jeurissep farm located
I on Pioneer Trail relative to the Indirect Source P'ermit for Hwy. 212. Information provided by
MnDOT indicates that it is not "economically feasible" to protect this one home from impacts
due to the highway.
' The farm is located outside of the current MUSA lin in
e an area our Comprehensive Plan has
designated for a 1995 Study Area. This designation implies that the future use of this area
1 should be defined in this time frame, although it is not likely to be brought into the MUSA line
in this time frame. We are in fact proposing to undertake such a study in the near future.
Additionally, when we completed our Comprehensive Plan in 1991, we thought this area would
be brought into the MUSA line concurrent with Hwy. 212 construction. However, as you are
aware, the construction keeps ,getting delayed due to financial constraints. At the same time,
' development pressures in Chanhassen have been accelerating, advancing the date we will need .
to bring this area into the system much earlier than we thought a few years ago. While there has
been no official action taken to determine when a MUSA line amendment may be requested, it
I is my belief that it will occur in the next 3 -5 years.
As indicated above, land use determination for the area in question remains to be made in the
I future. A reasonable guess is to assume that the area would contain low to medium density
residential uses. However, in the past, the Planning Commission has discussed having a high -end
office park near the County Road 17 interchange. This issue will be determined by the planning
I effort we will be undertaking for the study area. Under any likely scenario, it is likely that the
farmhouse would be removed. Typically, it would be considered to be incompatible with
potential development to keep an older farmhouse. To the best of my knowledge, the home has
I no intrinsic historic value that would warrant an investment in upgrading. However, you should
be aware that the owner has approached the City about creating a new lot to accommodate a
home for his son. Any such investment in a new home or the upgrading of the existing home
I
1
Mr. Evan Green 1
November 10, 1993
Page 2 1
could make their removal or relocation uneconomical and new development would likely provide
for their preservation.
I
If the home(s) are preserved in the future, the City may well have no way to encourage the
installation of noise mitigation. In instances where new development is being proposed, we
commonly request increased setbacks, use of landscaped berms, etc. to offer enhanced buffering.
Unfortunately, we are not in any position to guarantee MnDOT that either the City or developer
would be willing to assume the full responsibility for providing the mitigation and we are not
111
going to be able to give you a definitive plan until the area actually develops.
Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information. 1

The Honorable Donald J. Chmiel II
Mayor
City Of Chanhassen II
Coulter Drive
Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317-9683
Dear Donald: 1
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about unfunded federal
mandates.
II
Like you, I think this is one of the most important problems facing
our state and local governments.
I am outraged that for the past several years -- primarily because of II
lack of federal funds -- Congress has passed legislation requiring
states to set up various, sometimes ridiculous programs but has not II provided the money to implement them.
Congress has been too slow in realizing the weight of this burden it II places on states and local communities. By requiring compliance with
countless unfunded federal mandates, Congress forces these
governments to either raise taxes or divert money they would
ordinarily use for police, fire or other necessary services. 1
That is why I am a cosponsor of H.R. 1295, which would require the
Congressional Budget Office to estimate what a bill will cost state
and local governments and private industry prior to consideration.
Again, thanks for your input on this important issue. Please let me
know whenever I can be of assistance.

1 Next meeting: Nov. 16, 1993, 5:30 pm for pizza at Lukes.
I Summary of Oct. 26 meeting
Present: Luke, Margie, Arlene, Therese, Sue, Cheryl
Cheryl was able after 12 hone calls to
P contact Prof.
Goodpastor, Chair of U of St Thomas Business dept and
foremost authority on Business Ethics in the USA. He
will gladly address a combined lunch meeting of our
chambers but will be in India during Values Week. We
I chose March 21st as the target date. His fee is $750
which we plan to be covered by the admission price.
The chambers will be contacted now by Luke and Margie
and Sue to ask if they are willing to do this.
I Luke and Cheryl will prepare a letter to raise financial
support for Values Week which will go to ALL businesses
1 in Chan, Chaska, Victoria, Carver they will include
some mention of Prof. Goodpastors upcoming address. The
new letterhead will be used; mailing will be done using
bulk rate at Comm Ed or CHS we hope.
Chan Bank will be going ahead with Outstanding Youth Award
again this year. We still have not heard from 1st National
about the Crystal Acheivement Award Luke will talk with
Li Kevin McShane. If they say no then Luke will begin asking
around about a new sponsor for it.
Saturday Event: Barry Fox is excited to provide the opening
music from 6:30 -7:00 that night. We have a start!
Pam Carney at CMS sent a video of what her drama students
would like to do for the elementary schools during Values
Week...it is great!
GAPS: Business chat during Values Week? ask Bob R
Ministerium: a brief visit should do nicely this year
CMS: Arlene suggested the R & R committee there has
planned 3 events for Jan,Feb,March so they should
be fine
CHS: What to do here? Margie will talk with Jim O.
to see if he has any ideas.
Saturday Event: while we have a beginning the rest
of the evening will need attention.
Arlene is finalizing brochure on Values for public info.
She is also looking into little golden rulers to use for
publicity. ie: give to ministerium when we go there.
.,
Sincerley,
Margie
