I believe it was productive and the start of a new and more cooperative relationship. I also r wanted to take this opportunity to review what we had agreed to. 1. The Watershed Board will consider new means of encouraging regular communication with the communities. This is likely to include the permanent establishment of a Technical Advisory Committee or some similar group. 2. Chanhassen will provide copies of our draft Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan for review by Watershed staff as soon as it is available. We look forward to gaining your input. Upon completion of the Plan, we will formally present it to the Watershed Board for official action. We anticipate that this plan will constitute Chanhassen's Local Plan as outlined in State law. 3. Mr. Haik pointed out that other communities in the District have already been given authority to locally administer permitting on behalf of the District. We anticipate assuming similar responsibility upon completion of our plan. 4. Our plan should incorporate a "wish list" of projects where cooperation and joint funding ' between the City and Watershed may be productive. This will provide the basis for future consideration in these areas. es tool PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 July 7, 1993 1 Page 2 Again, thank you for your efforts.

Atkins 1 8760 Lake Susan Court Chanhassen, MN 55317 I Re: Basketball Hoop Within City Right -of -Way File No. PW -258 I Dear Mr. Atkins: Over the past week City staff has received complaints to the recent installation of a basketball hoop I approximately 2 feet behind the curb at your address. As you may or may not be aware, the City requires that a permit be acquired for any private structure or I installation located within the City's right -of -way. We do not have record that a permit was obtained for this basketball hoop nor does the City grant permits to install basketball hoops within the right -of -way. Having the basketball pole and hoop located as such not only presents safety problems for both youth and motorists, but 1 this also creates some maintenance difficulties for the snow removal operations. Given that this type of installation is not permitted and that a number of complaints have been received, the City requests your cooperation in removing this basketball hoop within the next 30 days from the date of this letter. I If you do not remove it as such the City may exercise its right and remove the pole which you can then pick up at the City's Public Works maintenance shop. Your cooperation and attention to this matter is greatly appreciated! i Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN 1 Charles D.

I believe that they are correct for the April, 1992, time period. However, I must inquire as to why you are focusing on data that is already over a year out of date. Since that date, we have added at least another 250 housing units for a population increase of another 730 people. We are on an accelerating curve where we are likely to add over 300 homes in calendar 1993 and due to new plats, we could easily be near 400 homes next year. We have also recently annexed a lot containing a home that was formerly located in Shorewood. ' This home is now located in the Hennepin County portion of our community. If you like, I can supply you with a copy of the State Municipal Board and their action on this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you require additional information.

We have found Bonnie to be an unusually strong representative of local government concerns in a regional context. She has been a diligent worker attending a wide variety of meetings and being involved ' to the greatest extent possible. As a representative of the Metropolitan Council, she has been a bright light in an agency that has unfortunately become more recently known for its inertia rather than creativity. It is with this in mind, we urge you to consider reappointing Bonnie for the new District 15 seat. Our only regret is that with her interest in regional issues, she will no longer be in a position to work directly with us because of reapportionment. However, I am certain that our relationship with Bonnie will endure well into the future. Sincerely, i L > ' Donald J. Chmiel Mayor c: City Council 1 is ~ .

The first meeting focused on the goals of this study and what process the Recycling Committee would follow. The meeting was attended by four of the six haulers and two residents. The second meeting focused on alternatives to the current system, discussion by Charles Folch, City Engineer, on what problems there are with street damage due to weight restrictions being exceeded, and review of surveys to be performed. The Recycling Committee felt it important to receive input from the residents to see if they perceive a problem with multiple haulers and do they want a change. Approximately 120 residents will be interviewed over the phone to get their opinions. The consultant, Dean Johnson, is surveying the haulers licensed in Chanhassen and cities in the seven metro county to receive information on the current system in Chanhassen and what other cities do. Again, the second meeting was attended by the same four haulers and by some residents. We are hoping to have summaries of the three surveys by the next meeting, August 2, 1993 at 1 5:30 p.m.. The Recycling Committee will be reviewing the information provided by the surveys and determine if a different alternative should be recommended to the City Council. A recommendation from the Recycling Committee to the City Council should occur sometime in September, 1993. 1 1 1 1 is �� PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER I RICHARD M.

I a m most appreciative for your time, interest, support and for the assistance of l our respective staffs. TH 212 is an approved and priority project for the State of Minnesota. It has been in various planning stages co r over 30 years; the EIS and first segment design are now completed, and the project is ready for nstruction. It is an important highway system for our communities, outstate Minnesota, business and commerce and the overaii quality of life. Ik e learned last week that the Department of Transportation faced severe financial difficulties and was delaying H 212 by approximately/ two years. Other major projects across the State were receiving similar delays. Further, over 2.0 to 202 en_ veering positions were vacant, operating budget shortfalls were possible, and i nDOT's overall crec,b.l.,y anc tradition of performance were at jeopardy. Contributing factors are: I •ISTEA has not been `u:ly funded. Expectations were that past and present federal administrations wo:.!d put money into the economy and fully fund these programs. I •The State of Minnesota did not pass a Transportation Funding Bill. An executive decision was made to withdraw a tax proposal because of concerns of the impact of a federal gas tax increase. I •Support was not believed to be present in the State House of Representatives for a gas tax increase. The State Senate did pass a Transportation Funding Bill, but the House did not take similar action. •Next year is an election year, which will make these funding issues even more difficult to resolve. I rtat rans o icn funding is essential for the State of Minnesota. A cooperative and bipartisan effort is required to P cus on the underlying issues and provide strong support for taxing authority in the upcoming election year. h ank you for your consideration of these thoughts.

Attn: Alan Gray, City Engineer II Eden Prairie, MN 55344 BUSINESS PHONE: (612) 937 -2262 I PROJECT LOCATION: The project site covers 419.5 acres east of Riley Lake in the N 1/2 and SE 1/4 Section 19, T. 116 N., R. 22 W., City of Eden Prairie, U Hennepin County, Minnesota. Approximate Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates for the location are Zone 15, North 4965000.00, East 460000.00. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The project (now named Bearpath, but formerly Marsh II Creek) includes an 18 -hole championship golf course (a Jack Nicklaus signature course), a 299 unit residential development, and related road construction, including a segment of the proposed Dell Road and a realignment of Riley Lake I Drive. The City of Eden Prairie is a coapplicant for the Dell Road and Riley Lake Drive construction. The golf course is intended to help meet the demand for additional golf course facilities in the area. It also would increase the I development value of the site so that fewer units are necessary for a profit (approximately 1,050 residential units could be included in the site according to zoning ordinances). It has been designed to reduce the environmental impact of development in an environmentally sensitive area. The residential development I would provide additional housing in an area that is rapidly developing. Although the site is owned by five different owners, this proposal is also consistent with the City of Eden Prairie's preference that the site be developed as a 1 comprehensively planned development that minimizes impact on the environment. To this end, the City and the applicant have included these two public road projects in this application because the alternative analysis (avoidance- minimization- 1 compensation sequencing) for both the public and private projects are closely related and are best evaluated jointly. The project has been modified following discussions with the Corps of Engineers and representatives of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Minnesota Department of II Natural Resources, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. II June 30, 1993 1 CENCS -CO -R (91- 30137- IP -JJY) SUBJECT: Notice of Application for Permit to Place Fill in Wetlands QUANTITY, TYPE, AND AREA OF FILL /ADVERSE IMPACT: The proposal includes 2.84 1 acres of wetland fill. The site has 69.8 acres of wetland, including three sphagnum bogs (see attached plans: basins F, 0, and Y). Total wetland area, including several wetlands that extend off the site, is 82.8 acres. About 0.63 acre (primarily type 2/3 wet meadow /shallow marsh area) would be filled for the construction of Dell Road. (Some fill could be avoided by aligning Dell Road further west, but that alignment would render development of the Bearpath site economically infeasible, according to the applicant. The applicant also maintains that filling for the road allows a comprehensive and environmentally less damaging development of the entire site.) Approximately 0.42 acre (primarily type 2/3/8 wet meadow /shallow marsh /sphagnum bog wetland, including some wooded fringe) would be filled for the golf course construction (about 0.18 acre would be on the edge of a sphagnum bog, which was first thought to be a more common type 2 wet meadow - sedge meadow wetland). (Avoiding this fill would create a golf course that does not meet standards, primarily too long of a carry from tee to green, and would involve the loss of mature trees.) The remaining 1.78 acres of fill would be for access road and lot fills (about half in type 1/2 seasonally flooded basin /wet meadow areas that have been farmed but also half in partly wooded fringes of type 3/4 shallow marsh /deep marsh areas and small wooded or shrubby basins). (Avoiding this fill would involve the loss of a substantial number of lots and construction of long cul -de -sacs and awkward, less safe, street alignments.) (See the plans for information on impacts. The applicant provided additional information to the Corps of Engineers and other agencies on alternatives and impacts that is too long to include in this notice. It is available for inspection in the Corps office.) Two bogs have been completely avoided in terms of fill but would receive some pretreated runoff. The applicant has prepared a plan to provide sufficient, pretreated storm water to two bogs that would not be filled. The plan is being modified to include a third, more recently discovered bog. The City of Eden Prairie has tentatively committed itself to adopting a bog monitoring plan, although the City Council has not officially approved it. No other wetlands would be drained, inundated, or excavated for this project. The applicant would appropriate some ground water for golf course irrigation, but this pumping should not adversely affect any surface waters or wetlands. One wetland on the site (originally proposed to be wetland Q but now proposed to be wetland N, at the suggestion of the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Corps) would be used as a reservoir for this water, but the impacts on the wetland would be negligible. Additional bounce would be less than 0.5 inch (with a daily return to normal conditions). MITIGATION: The applicant has attempted to avoid, minimize, and compensate for adverse impacts on wetlands in consultation with the Corps of Engineers and other agencies. This consultation is continuing. The development has been reduced from approximately 400 to 299 residential units to minimize impacts. Lots are also large (190 are 0.5 acre or larger). (Approximately 1,050 residential units could be included in the site according to zoning ordinances.) The surrounding area is rapidly developing. Because the site is owned by five different owners, it could become separate residential areas or other types of development if someone else does not buy the site and develop it according to the City of Eden Prairie's preference that the site be a comprehensively planned development that minimizes impact on the environment. The City of Eden Prairie and the applicant have also worked together to include the road construction in this development, rather than include this work as a separate application. Overall, this coordination may have reduced environmental impacts although it may have increased the wetland fill required for Dell Road. The applicant also proposes to create and restore 3.01 acres of wetland as mitigation (see below). This new wetland would be primarily 2 1 June 30, 1993 CENCS -CO -R (91- 30137- IP -JJY) SUBJECT: Notice of Application for Permit to Place Fill in Wetlands type 2/3/4 (wet meadow /marsh), similar to the areas that would be adversely affected, but it may include some tree and shrub plantings to help replace lost vegetation. Although some of the mitigation area would be adjacent to basin N, ' the 3.01 acres does not include the area within subbasins Nn and Ns that could be enhanced by connecting them to restore a more natural hydrology in the basin. In addition to the wetland creation, the applicant has also developed a plan to protect two of the bogs on the site and to provide them with sufficient clean ' runoff and pretreated storm water. Buffer zones around the bogs and restrictions on lawn and street chemicals (including fertilizers, herbicides, lime, and salt) would also protect the bogs. The City of Eden Prairie is committed to setting up a plan that includes water quality monitoring of the two bogs, although the plan must still be approved by the City Council. If approved and implemented, this proposal may protect the integrity of the bogs, although it is still under review. This plan may be extended to include the third, more recently discovered bog. Water quality in the creek and wetlands would be further protected by the construction of 27 NURP (National Urban Runoff Program) ponds with 7.2 acres of surface area that would pretreat storm water to settle out sediment and remove nutrients and other pollutants. In addition, deadend drainage and landlocked nonwetland depressions would drain runoff from golf course greens and tees through tiles that empty into the NURP ponds. ' VEGETATION IN AFFECTED AREA: The 419.5 -acre site includes about 194 acres of crop land, about 115 acres of woodland, 40 acres of brush /grassland, part of Riley Creek and 28 wetland areas (including 7 basins on the State Protected Waters Inventory) that cover 69.8 acres. More than 71 acres of the woodland would remain after development. Wetland area would increase to 71.5 acres, and wetland /water area (including NURP ponds) would increase to 78.7 acres). The remainder of the ' upland would be converted to residential areas, golf course, and surfaced roads, although existing trees and shrubs would be retained wherever feasible. Some of the affected wetlands extend off the site; total area of the affected wetlands is ' 82.8 acres. These wetlands include a number of relatively high quality open - water, marsh, and wet meadow areas, three bogs, and some wooded - shrubby wetlands. The higher - quality wetlands generally have a wooded buffer surrounding them. Not all of the wetlands are high quality. Some of them have been farmed, and several areas appear to include former wetlands that have been drained and converted to cropland. The site include wetlands adjacent to Riley Creek, including State - protected wetland 27 -978W; State - protected wetlands 27 -975W, 27 -976W, 27 -979 W, ' 27- 1000W, and 27- 1003W; State - protected wetland 27 -977W (which includes a sphagnum bog); and other headwaters and isolated wetlands (including two other sphagnum bogs). The site is also partly bordered on the southwest by Lake Riley. The ' proposed wetland fills are primarily in partly wooded, partly grass -sedge fringes of larger wetlands, small wooded or shrubby basins, and areas of disturbed, farmed wetland, although some fill is proposed for a bog. Almost half of the proposed wetland fill area appears to be mainly reed canary grass or mixed reed canary grass and other vegetation, with some sedges, goldenrods, smartweeds, foxtails, and cattails. Perhaps half comprises small wooded or shrubby wetland pockets or wetland fringes that have sedges and grasses, red osier and gray dogwood, ' cottonwood, aspen, silver and red maple, black and green ash, American elm, common elderberry, and raspberry. About 0.18 acre of proposed fill is on the fringes of a sphagnum -sedge bog that has sedges, sphagnum moss, cattail, Labrador tea, reed canary grass, dogwood, and aspen. The interior of this bog is primarily sphagnum, cottongrass and other sedges, and scattered small trees and shrubs. (Plants in this bog have not been fully inventoried, although the other bogs on the site were inventoried by Steve Eggers of the Corps of Engineers.) 1 3 1 June 30, 1993 CENCS -CO -R (91- 30137 -IP -JJY) SUBJECT: Notice of Application for Permit to Place Fill in Wetlands SOURCE OF FILL MATERIAL: Fill would come from existing borrow pits, commercial sources, or from on site. Only clean fill would be used. SURROUNDING LAND USE: The surrounding land is mixed agricultural and 1 residential, although the area was primarily agricultural until recently. Residential development of the area is occurring rapidly. Some adjacent properties are either under development or are proposed for development. Lake Riley lies to the west of the site. The lake and a small park adjacent to it receive fairly heavy recreational use. State Highway 212 is proposed for construction just north of this site. This highway and other proposed road construction would probably accelerate development of the surrounding area. THE FOLLOWING POTENTIALLY TOXIC MATERIALS COULD BE USED AT THE PROJECT SITE: Construction equipment and vehicles using the site would use petroleum products for fuel and lubrication, although the risk of contamination is relatively small. Some chemicals (fertilizers and herbicides) would be used on the golf course, although a series of ponds and tiles would help filter out or settle out these chemicals before they discharged into any wetlands or other waters. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT WATER QUALITY HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED BY THE APPLICANT: Silt fences, plantings, and other erosion control measures would be used to limit sedimentation and erosion. The applicant has developed a plan to protect two of the bogs on the site and to provide them with sufficient clean runoff and pretreated storm water (see below). Lawn and street chemicals would be restricted in the bog watersheds. The City of Eden Prairie is committed to setting up a plan that includes water quality monitoring of two of the bogs, although the plan must still be approved by the City Council. This plan may be extended to the third, more recently discovered bog. If approved and implemented, this proposal may protect the integrity of the bogs, although it is still under review. Water quality in the creek and wetlands would be further protected by the construction of 27 NURP ponds with 7.2 acres of surface area that would pretreat storm water to settle out sediment and remove nutrients and other pollutants. Deadend drainage and landlocked nonwetland depressions would drain runoff from golf course greens and tees through tiles into the NURP ponds. 3. REPLIES /COMMENTS.

It is anticipated that access will be available through August 1, 1993. _bera._=r, access will not be available. If you have any questions, please call me.

As we discussed, the area of the bluff line in the vicinity of the Eden Prairie /Chanhassen border is adjacent to the Moon Valley Gravel Pit. The city has been in litigation over this gravel pit for nearly three years with the goal of limiting further expansions. In court action to date, the applicant's grandfathered rights extend only to the area that is currently being mined, when this is extended due east to the Eden Prairie city line. The majority of the mature trees remaining in this area are located on an adjacent parcel to the north that is owned by the Moon Valley operator, for which no grandfathering rights exist. Thus, it is protected by the existing City's Bluff Line Ordinance and we have every expectation to maintain tree ' cover in this area. Additionally, the city is currently working on an improved tree preservation ordinance. While this draft ' ordinance is still being worked on by a subcommittee, we expect to have it available for implementation by the end of summer. When development actually does occur in this area, it no doubt will be subject to this ordinance as well. Intensive development is not likely to occur until city services are available and ' this is unlikely for the foreseeable future. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information. The City of Chanhassen supports your efforts to preserve mature tree cover and we believe that our efforts can only be viewed as being ' complimentary.

Recently, the City hired Barton Aschman Associates in association with Lee Frelich to complete an evaluation of seven sites in the City of Eden Prairie. One of those sites is owned by Darril Peterson and is located in the southwest corner of Eden Prairie on the Chanhassen /Eden Prairie border. I have enclosed a copy of portions of the Barton Aschman report that refer to the evaluation of the Peterson property. Please note that Dr. Frelich has identified a maple basswood forest on the western edge of the Peterson property. According to Mr. Frelich, approximately 20 acres of this big woods forest is located within Eden Prairie and another 20 acres is in Chanhassen. It is located on the property that is presently being mined 1 for gravel. The Natural Resources Study Committee is evaluating each of these seven sites prior to ' recommending which sites should be considered for acquisition by the City of Eden Prairie. Our consultant indicates that "It would not make sense to purchase this area of woods without the adjacent woods because both are on a steep slope and development of the woods outside to the west would lead to severe erosion, visual degradation and invasion of exotic species such as European buckthorn and honeysuckle." The committee has requested that I contact Chanhassen officials to determine if there is any likelihood that the City of Chanhassen may be interested, now or in the future, in preserving this segment of woods. I would appreciate hearing from you regarding this request as soon as possible, as the committee 1 will be making a final report to the City Council on July 6th. a_ _ 1 1 1 Paul Krause June 14, 1993 Page 2 I look forward to hearing from you in regarding this consideration.

Peterson Site in association with Lee Frelich . _ mi - 1 . al I IN i identified in one of the prairies. Most high quality prairie remnants in Minnesota have I one or two state endangered or threatened plant species. Protection 1 M g Parts of this site are protected by steep slope ordinances. lig Protection of the maple - basswood forest would necessitate protection of the remainder 1 of this community to the west, in Carver County. Protection from water quality deterioration, sedimentation of the stream, and erosion from up -slope developing areas to the north of the site would be necessary. nil Stewardship I IIM Restoration of some parts of the oak savanna is impractical. These areas should be I maintained as oak woodland. Restorable oak savanna would require cutting of juniper trees and prescribed burning for maintenance of the community. Deciduous forest near MI the maple - basswood forest is successional and should develop into a sugar maple forest I without management. Prairie communities should be maintained with prescribed burns. The management guidelines for specific exotic species should be followed. II a " of this tract to a mosaic of natural communities would involve a hue ' Restoration o huge of labor and is probably not practical. Many acres of juniper, elm, and box elder would have to be cut and removed from the site before prescribed burns were carried , I out to restore the prairie, savanna, and oak woodlands. The reason for this is that these dense young stands of trees may torch up during a fire, leading to an out -of- control I I situation. Without removal of these trees, the fire would be too intense and kill the old open - grown bur oaks, which would be one of the most desirable features to maintain. Prescribed burns would be required every two to three years in perpetuity to maintain I ino the open prairie and savanna areas. Oak woodlands could have prescribed burns every 20 years, or be allowed to succeed tc sugar maple, which would never require burning. III One management option would be to prescribe burn the south facing steep slopes along 1 the highway, along with the hilltop prairie areas, and simply let the rest of the area III succeed to sugar maple forest. The rank B areas of sugar maple forest would revert to I A stands within a few decades, but the rest of the forest would take 100 years or more to reach an A grade bigwoods forest. lal I IN I IM SR -21 I 1 Peterson Site (C5 -C6, D -1, 3, and 5) 91 II An Ecologist's First Impressions I There is a strong allure in finding one site with more than just a little of several ecological niches. Here one finds prairie, savanna, woodland, forest, and a little wetland all with alot of topographical relief for variety. There are two problems: too much use 91 has created abuse, and the fire- maintained communities are just about beyond salvaging. Ecological Assessment This tract contains several semi - natural communities in addition to cultivated fields and a homestead /lawn /barn area: 1) Bigwoods maple - basswood forest, 2) oak woodland, 3) oak savanna, and 4) dry prairie. The major advantage of this site is its large size and a mosaic of several natural communities. The major disadvantage is that none of the III communities is in excellent condition (rank A or AB) compared to some of the other sites under consideration. Mitchell woods and Riley Creek woods both have bigwoods stands that are larger and /or better quality. The Charlson site has a larger and better I savanna and prairie remnant. The bigwoods forest near the western boundary of the property (about 20 acres), as well as that on the adjacent property (another 20 acres), is grade B, with many large sugar maples 80 to 120 years old, with a few older and larger trees. The spring ephemeral cover on the forest floor is relatively poor compared to Mitchell woods and the Riley II Creek woods. It would not make sense to purchase this area of woods without the adjacent woods because both are on a steep slope and development of the woods outside to the west would lead to severe erosion, visual degradation, and invasion of exotic I species such as European buckthorn and honeysuckle. The remainder of the maple basswood forest is grade C to D, and has low diversity of native herbs, young maples only 20 to 40 years old, weedy trees such as box elder, and artificial small meadows and plantings. I The oak woodland and savannas on the property are grade C to D. They are highly fragmented by farm fields, unpaved roads, and have been invaded by sugar maple, American and Chinese elm, juniper, and box elder. There are many very old (100 to 300 I years) open grown bur oak that were savanna trees in presettlement times. However, now they have invading tree species growing up through their open and wide- spreading crowns. 91 The prairie areas have many native grass and other herbaceous species. However, they were formerly grazed (30 years before present) and have been invaded very heavily by I leafy spurge and juniper. The prairie remnants would have a rank of C because they are small and have so much leafy spurge.

Commissioner Denn stated that $65.0 million in highway projects scheduled for letting in state fiscal year 1993 (July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1994) will be delayed. In subsequent year, projects will also be delayed. As a result of the deferrals, the Highway 212 letting schedule has been 1 revised as follows: Segment Stage Description Old Date New Date I 1 Prairie Center Drive 2/95 11/96 1 Interchange I 2 Mitchell Rd to Wallace Rd 10/95 11/96 I I 3 Wallace Rd & CSAH 4 10/95 11/97 II 4 CSAH 4 to Lyman Blvd. 7/97 Post 1997 5 Lyman Blvd. to TH 41 7/97 Post 1997 The segment 3 and 4 projects (west of 41) are not programmed at this time. Project Deferrals and State Funding 1 The deferred projects represent a $65.0 million or 15% decrease in MNDOT's $400.0 million previously proposed construction program. In order to fully fund the $400.0 million program, Commissioner Denn 1 stated that the federal government must fully fund the ISTEA program and a state revenue increase equivalent to an .08 cent motor fuels tax must be approved by the Legislature and Governor. Because these actions seem unlikely at this time, MNDOT's construction program for the immediate future has been 1 reduced to $335.0 million. Coalition Submits Application for Federal Funds The Coalition has submitted an application for federal funds to our Congressional delegation. Unlike prior 1 applications, the recently submitted document had to include information regarding private participation, construction schedules, cost /benefits, and public support. The application requested $6.0 million in federal 1 fiscal year 1994 funds. The application request will be initially discussed in the House. Representatives Minge and Ramstad have been working with Rep. Sabo and the Minnesota delegation members to obtain support for the application. 1 Toll Road Legislation Passed and Signed by Governor: Coalition to Examine Potential Governor Carlson has signed enabling legislation to permit public and private organizations to build, and 1 1 1 1 I operate toll facilities (bridges, highways, tunnels). Coalition President Bob Lindell has met with representatives of the Minnesota Transportation Group (MTG) to solicit a proposal from MTG. The MTG is a consortium of public finance, engineering, technology and construction firms that sponsored the legislation and is advocating its implementation. At the meeting it was agreed to further examine possible application I of the legislation to the new TH 212 project. As part of the research, MTG representatives could be invited to meet with the membership. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 CITYOF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

The location for this building has taken into consideration the alignment for the future Arboretum Boulevard access road along the north side of Trunk Highway 5 and the topography of the area. This location is the only level area suitable for the building and negates the need for any grading. The size of the building structure is proposed to be 40 feet wide by 120 feet long similar in material and style to the existing metal storage building located adjacent to this site. The intention of this building is agricultural in nature by providing storage for park maintenance material and equipment used for maintaining all of the City parks and adjacent tree nursery. If you should have any questions or need additional information on this matter for your presentation to the Planning Commission, please let me know.

This memo is to provide you with an 1 update as to the status of conditions in and around Chanhassen, and to advise you of actions we are taking in response. Because of the road and bridge closures (particularly crossing the Minnesota River), 1 traffic has been negatively affected. We have contributed coverage by our Community Service Officers to the traffic control efforts of the Minnesota State Patrol, Carver 1 County Sheriff's Department and Chaska Police Department. We have also been assisting with spectator and crowd control. Additional traffic enforcement has been initiated to respond to increased traffic levels. 1 As you may have seen on TV, heard on the news or seen in the paper, the Chanhassen Fire Department played a very significant role in rescuing several individuals that were 1 trapped in the river after being swept off of a bike path by the river's current. You may not be aware of the fact that the Chanhassen Fire Department plays a very significant role as a member of the Carver County Dive Team, and their training paid off extremely 1 well. We have also made equipment available to the cities more directly affected by the flooding, and we have a contingency plan in place to assist the area fire departments 1 should circumstances worsen. Several properties in Chanhassen adjacent to the river are being affected by the flooding. 1 This City has assisted with diking behind the Western Motel; I have been in contact with the PCA regarding the water getting into the vehicle storage of State Wide Salvage; we are making ourselves available to assist the homes along the river; and, have worked 1 with the owners of the radio station tower located on the south side of Highway 212 across from the Seminary. We have also made ourselves available to all agencies responding to the flooding should the need arise. 1 d el PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 1 Page 2 I have activated our emergency operations center on a small scale, per our City Emergency Management Plan, to respond to this situation. At this time, in addition to the above outlined responses, the Public Safety Department is making itself available for questions and requests for assistance. Questions, concerns, needs or rumor verification can be directed to Chanhassen Public Safety (937 -1900, ext. 3). Either Bob Zydowsky (home, 496 -4027; digital pager 640 -3939) or I can be contacted at any time (home, 942 -9151; digital pager 640- 3975), if we are not available through the office should you wish to contact us. Emergencies should be directed the 911 phones at the Carver County Sheriff's Department. On Wednesday, June 23, I had the opportunity to view Chanhassen, as well as the rest of ' Carver County being affected by the floods, with the State Patrol helicopter. There is no question that while Chanhassen is being affected perhaps the least of areas in the County, Carver County is being very affected by this flooding. We will continue to monitor and respond to this situation as needed. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
