FEASIBILITY REPORT 1
FORCIER PROPERTY AT FRONTIER TRAIL
STORMWATER QUANTITY AND QUALITY ANALYSIS ,
CITY PROJECT 93 -6 -3
CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA
APRIL 1993
1. INTRODUCTION - PRELIMINARY COMMENTS '
The Forcier property development is a 7 lot, 4.5 acre subdivision located west of the '
intersection of Frontier Trail and Frontier Court, south of Lotus Lake. The location of the
development is shown in Figure 1. ,
Although the Forcier property development only subdivides 4.5 acres, any storm higher than 1
a 10 -year will produce some runoff into the development from the 63 acres of upstream land. This
natural overland drainage route goes through a ditch located where the ponds are proposed (See 1
Figure 2). The existing 36 -inch trunk system can handle peak flows up to a 10 -year storm. The I
development must provide ponding and outlet structures Iarge enough to safely handle the
difference between 10 -year and 100 -year peaks, and keep high water levels 2 feet below the lowest 1
house. 1
Stormwater quality is a very important factor in this area because of the lack of upstream
treatment and the roximi to Lotus Lake. The SWMP identifies this area as a high priority '
P ty g
location for stormwater quality improvements. Any amount of stormwater quality pretreatment 1
39313.rpt 1
2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul, MN 55113 • 612 -636 -4600
performed at the development would both increase the treatment efficiency and reduce the cost
' of future downstream P onds.
1
2. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Several alternatives were modeled to identify the most cost effective drainage elements that
1 would meet water quantity and quality criteria. The following is a summary of the alternatives
1 modeled:
1 A) One Pond versus two Ponds Alternative: The small stormwater quality treatment
efficiency obtained with one pond, and the high amount of excavation necessary
1 to provide the required acre -feet of wet volume with only one pond, eliminated
this alternative in an early stage of the analysis as a cost effective alternative. In
addition, the 6 -foot drop between the East and West ponds would have made
very difficult the construction of one single pond, due to the limited area
1 available and minimum side slope requirements.
1 B) Water Quantity versus Water Quality Design: Due to the small size of the
ponds, using them to limit peak flows during a 100 -year event was proved to have
1 no impact in reducing the cost of the downstream trunk system. On the other
hand, rising the normal water levels of the ponds to obtain the maximum wet
volume possible for stormwater treatment purposes was proved to be the most
cost effective alternative.
C) Culvert versus Broad - crested weir at the West Pond Outlet To prevent oil spills
and debris from going into Lotus Lake, the West pond requires a skimmer
structure. Although the cost of a 36 -inch RCP outlet culvert is higher than its
' equivalent Broad - crested weir, the higher cost of the skimmer structure for a
Broad - crested weir outlet makes the weir alternative more expensive overall.

I 3. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS:
The proposed improvements for the Forcier property are shown on Figure 2. The following
I is a more detailed description of each one of the improvements:
1 A) Connection of 24 -inch Water Quality Trunk
The 24 -inch trunk is proposed to handle flows up to a 2 -year storm (design
I storm) from the upstream 63 acres. The flow will be diverted to the 24 -inch
trunk by means of a 2 -foot high concrete wall built in the 8 -foot catch basin as
I shown in Figure 3. Flows above a 2 -year storm will overflow the wall into the
I existing 36 -inch trunk. The inlet and outlet invert elevations of the proposed 24-
inch stormwater quality trunk are 919.2 and 918.7 respectively. The total length
I of the proposed trunk is 40 feet. Other proposed improvements are:
I * Remove existing C.B.
* Build new 8 -foot diameter C.B.M.H.
1 * Connection of 24 -inch trunk to new C.B.
* Riprap and restoration work.
1
B) Construction of the West Pond
II The west pond will be excavated to provide 0.33 Ac -ft of wet volume with a NWL
at 918.7 (See Figure 2). The pond area at NWL is 0.1 acres. Pond slopes of
1 10:1 are recommended for safety reasons in the first 1 foot of drop. Slopes of
3:1 and 2.5:1 are also recommended for the water quantity and quality portions
1 of the pond respectively (See Figure 2). Other proposed improvements are:
I * Outlet structure: 36 -inch RCP, 25 feet long, 5% slope, Invert =
918.7, flared outlet end.
I * Skimmer structure
* Seeding with mulch
1 * Riprap and restoration work
1 39313.rpt 4
1
1
C) Construction of the East Pond
1
The East Pond will be excavated to provide 1.01 Ac -ft. of wet volume with a
NWL = 915 (See Figure 2). The Pond area at NWL is 0.25 acres. Pond slopes
1
of 10:1 are recommended for safety reasons in the first 1 foot of drop. Slopes
of 3:1 and 2.5:1 are also recommended for the water quantity and quality 1
portions of the pond respectively (See Figure 2). Other proposed improvements
are: 1
* Outlet structure: 14' wide rectangular, broad - crested, grassed _
1
weir, 4% downstream slope at Invert = 915.0.
* Seeding with mulch.
* Outlet channel realignment.
D) 42 - inch RCP Crossing Frontier Trail
The existing 36 -inch CMP at Frontier Trail needs to be replaced by a 42 -inch
1
RCP with a new inlet invert elevation at 910.5 and outlet invert elevation at
909.8. The slope for the new 42 -inch will be 0.9 %. The existing 36 -inch CMP
1
can not handle 100 -year storms without producing a serious backwater effect on
the East Pond. To ensure the 2 feet minimum freeboard in lots 5 and 6 and 1
protect Frontier Trail, we need both to replace the existing culvert and lower the
existing invert elevation. The lowest house floor elevation at lots 5 and 6 should
1
be at a minimum of 919.0.
1
It is also possible to add another 30 -inch RCP, at an invert elevation of 910.5, to
the existing 36 -inch CMP to provide the 100 -year storm capacity. This option is 1
not contemplated in the cost estimate included in this report. Other proposed
improvements are: 1
* Inlet and outlet flared ends 1
* Remove and replace existing bituminous path
* Riprap and inlet and outlet excavation and restoration

A summary of the estimated construction costs (without including Engineering, Fiscal and
1 Administrative costs) for each one of the proposed improvements is shown in Table 3.

TABLE 3
i
CONSTRUCTION COST SUMMARY
1 Improvement Construction Cost
1 Connection of 24 -inch Water Quality Trunk $5,600
. Construction of the West Pond $11,525
1 Construction of the East Pond $6,200
Replacement of Existing 36" CMP by a
1 42" RCP at Frontier Trail $9,475
1 Table 5, at the end of this report, shows itemized costs for each improvement and includes
1 Engineering, Fiscal and Administrative Costs.
Costs for the 24 -inch water quality trunk includes the replacement of the existing C.B. 2 by
I an 8 -foot diameter C.B. manhole.
1 The excavation cost for both East and West Ponds has been estimated at $2.00 per cubic yard.
This cost assumes that most of the dirt will be used in -place for grading. It is important to point
I out that any change in the assumed excavation cost will affect the total sharing cost by the City
} g g Y h'
1 described in the next section. East pond costs also include the realignment of the outlet channel
I going into the Frontier Trail culvert.
Costs for the upgrading of the Frontier Trail culvert include removing and replacing existing
1 bituminous roadway at the culvert crossing. •

6. COST SHARE
1
The following is a description of the proposed cost sharing by the City of Chanhassen and the
the Forcier roe
I
developer of h p property at Frontier Trail.
1
6.1 Connection of 24 -inch Water Quality Trunk
I
This connection has the purpose of diverting runoff from the 63 acres upstream the Frontier
development into the proposed ponds for water quality treatment. Although runoff from lots 1 and 1
2 will go into the existing 36 -inch trunk and then into the proposed 24 -inch trunk, its contribution 1
to the total flow will be very small. Therefore, the City should contribute 100% to the cost of this
improvement. I
1
6.2 Construction of West and East Ponds
It was estimated that the P
developer would have had to provide 0.72 Ac -ft. of wet volume to I
P
bring the 4.5 acres of development to NURP stormwater quality standards. The proposed 1
improvements show 1.34 Ac -ft of wet volume provided. The 0.62 Ac -ft. of extra excavation should
II
be credited to the developer by the City. Therefore, the excavation and seeding costs of the
proposed improvements should be shared - 46% by the City and 54% by the developer as shown 1
in Table 4.
1
The 100 -year peak flows have not changed because of the stormwater quality improvements.
Therefore, all outlet structures to handle 100 -year storm events should be provided by the 1
developer.
1
The skimmer structure proposed at the West pond would have been a City's requirement for
final approval of the plans, and therefore should be provided by the developer. I
39313.rpt 11 1
t 3
6.3 Culvert at Frontier Trail
The existing 36 -inch CMP at Frontier Trail needs to be replaced by a 42 -inch RCP (or
equivalent) at a lower invert elevation to meet the 2 feet minimum free board in lots 5 and 6. The
' necessity for replacement of the existing 36 -inch CMP, or addition of 30 -inch RCP, is originated
by the proposed house elevations in lots 5 and 6. On the other hand, this culvert will also be
'
serving a 9 -acre area north of Lot 5, as well as other areas upstream the development. For these
g � P P
' reasons, the replacement cost should be shared 50% by the City and 50% by the developer as
•
' shown in Table 4.
The other possibility is for the developer to provide the additional 30 -inch RCP culvert needed
' to handle 100 -year peak flows at Frontier Trail. The estimated construction cost for this 30 -inch
RCP culvert is $6,320 as shown in Table 5.

DATE: May 13, 1993 1
SUBJ: Resignation of Park and Recreation Commissioner Koubsky
1
Dave Koubsky has tendered his resignation from the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr.
Koubsky has faithfully served the city in his capacity as a Park and Recreation Commissioner
since January of 1991. However, due to a change in employment and a move to another
community, Mr. Koubsky is no longer able to fulfill his position on the commission. Dave's
contribution to the public process of operating a Park and Recreation Commission has proved 1
valuable. The commission will toast Dave's accomplishments and bid him farewell on May 25,
1993, the night of his last meeting.
I intend to advertise this vacancy in the Chanhassen Villager on May 20 and 27. Applications
will be accepted through June 15, with interviews being conducted by the commission on June
22, 1993. The City Council will receive the commission's recommendation on July 12, 1993,
having the opportunity to interview candidates if they so choose that evening. This schedule will
allow the new commissioner to be on board for the July 27 Park and Recreation Commission
meeting.

Dear Ms. Porter:
1 I have had an opportunity to review the April 26, 1993, proposal from Tellus Environmental
PP Y P > P P
1 Consultants. The proposal represents a significant expansion of services that are to be undertaken
in conjunction with the Environmental Assessment (EA) document your firm is preparing for
Chanhassen's proposed North Highway 5 Access Boulevard. The scope of services is being
1 expanded to accomplish three goals:
Bring the EA into compliance with the revised guidelines established by the State Historic
Preservation Office;
Meet guidelines established by MnDOT Cultural Resources Staff to gain their support of
the EA and subsequent cooperation on construction and acquisition of the boulevard; and
Respond to MnDOT's need to upgrade the original Hwy. 5 Cultural Resource Survey to
1 meet current standards to meet time frames required to keep the Hwy. 5 and access
boulevard projects on the current construction time frame.
I have reviewed the need to upgrade the EA cultural resources serving with the Chanhassen
Housing and Redevelopment Authority. They have given city staff authorization to enter into
an amended contract. This letter will serve as our official confirmation that the contract
1 amendment is authorized with the following two understandings:
1. The total contract amount for the EA is to be increased by no more than $11,575, as
outlined in the attached proposal.

' RE: CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY IN CITY OF CHANHASSEN
1 Dear Ms. Porter:
Tellus Consultants offers the enclosed proposal to conduct a Phase I cultural
' resource survey in Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota.
The enclosed proposal is substantially revised from earlier proposals for this project
' because (1) the project area has substantially increased, (2) MN -DOT has
suggested need for geomorphological study, (3) the number of farmsteads to be
' recorded and evaluated has risen from 3 to 9, and (4) we have recognized a
possible need to conduct limited formal testing as part of this Phase I project.
' Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal. I look forward to hearing
from you and to working with you in the future.
Sincere! ,

PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT PHASE I CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY
IN CHANHASSEN, CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA
I
Tellus Consultants, Inc. proposes to accomplish a Phase 1 cultural resource survey
I
of corridors which may be impacted by construction of an access boulevard and
reconstruction of a portion of Trunk Highway 5 in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The
Phase 1 cultural resource investigation will be accomplished to provide information
I
necessary for an Environmental Assessment of the construction project, which is
being completed by Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc.
This proposal responds to a Request For Proposals issued by Barton - Aschman 1
Associates on March 15, 1993. The following technical proposal, schedule, and
cost proposal reflect the information contained in the Request For Proposals and
I
our experience in conducting similar investigations in the vicinity of this project.
Research Orientation 1
This investigation is intended to provide information about the locations, horizontal
1
and vertical extent, and general nature of historic and prehistoric cultural resources
within the project area. To the extent possible, this investigation will also provide
relative dates of cultural sequences, the integrity of cultural materials, and the
I
significance of cultural resources according to the Criteria for Eligibility for the
National Register of Historic Places. Preservation of significant cultural resources I
is the guiding principal of this investigation, and the methods and procedures for
this investigation will yield maximum information to allow project planners to avoid
affect to significant cultural resources.
I
Substantial formal archaeological testing is not within the scope of this Phase I
investigation, and to the extent possible this Phase I investigation will yield
information necessary to avoid the costs and delays associated with Phase II
evaluative testing and possibly Phase III data recovery. However, excavation of a
limited number of formal test units may identify whether Phase II testing or I
avoidance is appropriate, and excavation of a small number of formal units can be
accomplished quickly and at relatively low cost as part of this Phase 1
investigation. This Phase 1 investigation therefore will include some elements of a I
Phase II testing project.
Pre -Field Investigation
1
Prior to field survey, Tellus Consultants will obtain results of a search of the official
state cultural resources files to determine if historical or archeological sites have
I
been recorded or reported within the survey area or nearby. Tellus Consultants will
also consult atlases, plat maps, and other available sources which may indicate
1
I , ,
Chanhassen Proposal Page 2
1 previous land use or presence of historic or prehistoric features. A number of small
prehistoric sites are known to exist in the general vicinity of the project, typically
I on small knolls or hills adjacent to wetlands or lakes.
Geomorohological Investigation
1 The project area is in an upland setting and contains only three small drainage
crossings. In general, the project area is relatively unlikely to contain either deeply -
' developed surface soils or buried soil horizons sealed by non - organic strata such as
stream- washed silt or sand. However, cultural resources might exist in deeply
buried contexts in limited locales of the project area, and MN -DOT has
I recommended geomorphological investigation to define areas in which deeply
buried resources might exist. Geomorphological investigations will serve as a basis
for location of shovel probes and formal test units if appropriate.
I Geomorphological investigation will be accomplished prior to archaeological survey. •
Field Investigations
I Field methods will comply with Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office
guidelines for Phase I cultural resource inventory. The project area will be
1 intensively surveyed by a field team walking transects spaced at approximately 15
meter intervals. The direction of transects may vary slightly according to local
topography and survey conditions. Special attention will be given to areas
I exhibiting favorable ground surface visibility or access to subsurface conditions
(road cuts, cattle trails, rodent mounds, stream cut banks).
1 Limited shovel probing will be conducted in areas where vegetation or other
conditions do not allow adequate visibility of the ground surface to determine if
prehistoric or historic materials are present; shovel probing will be limited to areas
I with gentle slopes in which prehistoric or historic cultural resources are likely to
exist intact. Shovel probes will generally be no more than 40cm square and no
more than 50cm deep; probes will be placed at 10 -meter intervals or as necessary
I to adequately examine the survey area. Material removed from shovel probes will
be screened through 1 /4" hardware cloth; cultural materials will be collected for
later laboratory examination. Depth of each shovel probe and general soils
I conditions will be recorded. Probe holes will be refilled with screened earth.
Extensive excavation of formal test units is not within the scope of this project,
I but excavation of a limited number of formal units may be necessary to either
avoid unnecessary Phase 11 testing or to provide information useful for planning
I Phase II work. The dominant type of prehistoric site in the vicinity of this project
is sparse lithic scatter located on hilltops above lakes and other wetlands. Many of
these lithic scatters contain few diagnostic artifacts, and many sites have lost
1 stratigraphic integrity because of plowing and other disturbance. Shovel testing
1
•
•
Chanhassen Proposal Page 3
1
alone will probably not be sufficient to determine the abundance of artifacts, the
age and cultural affiliation, and the integrity. Tellus Consultants estimates that up I
to four prehistoric sites will be found in the project area, and we propose to
excavate one formal test unit in each of the prehistoric sites. Formal units will be
located in areas of relatively high artifact occurrence, as indicated on surface or in I
shovel probes, and units will be excavated in arbitrary 10cm levels to at least
20cm below the lowest level bearing cultural materials. All excavated materials
will be passed through 1/4-inch screen.
Site Recording
Four categories of cultural resources may be identified within the study area: 1
prehistoric archaeological sites, historic archaeological sites, architectural sites and
isolated finds. Sites of each category will be recorded according to specific criteria
as required by the State Historic Preservation Officer. •
When archaeological cultural material scatters are found, the location of each item
I
will be marked with surveyor's pin -flags to allow controlled identification of the
cultural materials and mapping of locations of diagnostic artifacts and
concentrations. Sites exhibiting extremely large amounts of cultural material may
I
be found; on these sites an attempt will be made to provide an accurate
approximation of amount and type of material types present. In some cases an
analysis zone or transect may be utilized to provide a means of determining overall
I
site density and material content from a limited sample of material from the site.
Site sketch maps will be generated by use of hand -held compass and tape. Site
boundaries will be determined to the degree possible by means of surface
1
examination and shovel probing; site boundaries will be marked with pin flags to
allow project planners to precisely locate the resources.
I
Data will be recorded in the field in the form of field notes, descriptive sections of
appropriate state site forms, 35mm format black and white photographs, sketch
maps, planview maps where appropriate, surveyors notes, large scale contour
project maps when available, 7.5' USGS topographic maps and information
recorded on artifact and field sample bags. All materials will be returned to Tellus 1
Consultants office and laboratory facilities for processing and analysis.
Historical archaeological sites will be recorded by generating a representative I
inventory of cultural material present, site boundary definition and plotting on 7.5'
USGS quadrangle maps, photographic documentation of the site, completion of
appropriate state site forms, and completion of a site sketch map. This I
methodology parallels that of prehistoric archaeological cultural material scatters as
discussed above.
1
1
1
Chanhassen Proposal Page 4
1 Architectural sites will be recorded in a manner similar to that used to record
historical archaeological sites: recording a representative inventory of cultural
' material present (if any), site boundary definition, photographic documentation of
the site and features, completion of site forms, plotting of the site on USGS 7.5'
quad maps and generation of a site sketch map. Recording of standing structures
' will include verbal description of general form, plan, materials, roof type, windows,
construction techniques, decorative treatments, and alterations or erosions of
original construction. Photographs will be taken from opposite corners of major
1 structures when possible, to show all exterior walls and all roof slopes. Additional
photographs will show particular construction features such as wall materials and
joining techniques.
' Isolated finds are generally considered one or two isolated artifacts. This amount
of cultural material is indicative of human activity in the area but usually does not
1 contain sufficient information to justify designation of an area as a site. Isolated
finds will be recorded on the appropriate state isolated find recording form,
including a brief description of the cultural materials. The location will be recorded
1 on a USGS 7.5' topographic map.
The surface collection strategy during survey will be to recover only those artifacts
' which could aid in the temporal or functional interpretation of the site. Locations
of the collected artifacts will be shown on site sketch maps or more formal site
feature maps. Limited collection at the initial survey stage eliminates unnecessary
' laboratory analysis and preserves the artifact assemblage in place for later testing
or mitigation investigations. Unless otherwise directed by the project sponsor,
collected artifacts will be considered the property of the surface land owner.
' Collected artifacts will be temporarily curated at Tellus Consultants facilities prior
to their return to the landowners.
1 Each prehistoric archaeological and historical archaeological site will be marked in
the field by the installation of a permanent datum. These permanent datums are
stakes manufactured from a length of 1/2" PVC water pipe. A Tellus Consultants
' field number will be written on the stake in indelible marking pen, and the stake
will be driven into a relatively secure location. The datum will be shown on site
' sketch and more formal site maps.
Site Evaluation
' Tellus Consultants routinely evaluates the National Register eligibility of historic
period resources as part of Phase 1 inventory, and will do so for this project.
1 Historical information about the historic sites will be sought from available local
residents during and following field survey. A complete title history will be
compiled for properties more than 50 years old, and names of persons associated
1 with each site will be sought in available historical and biographical sources
1
1
1
l
Chanhassen Proposal Page 5
concerning the respective city, county, and state. All structures and other historic
sites will be evaluated by a qualified historian or architectural historian according to
Criteria for Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. It is possible that
evaluation of historical archeological sites under Criterion D (likelihood to yield
important information) can not be completed without subsurface testing, but this
situation is relatively rare.
Prehistoric and historic archeological sites will be evaluated to the extent possible
prior to formal subsurface testing. Evaluation at completion of survey will include
consideration of the nature, age, and cultural affiliation of observed materials, the
geographical /topographical context of the site, soils conditions of the site area, and
whether the site area has been disturbed by human or natural forces. If the survey
does not yield information adequate to determine the National Register eligibility of
archeological sites, recommendations will be offered for further investigation or
avoidance of the sites.
Reporting '
Tellus Consultants will prepare a report of the survey and survey findings according
to pertinent standards of the State Historic Preservation Office and /or the State
Archeologist. The report will include (1) an identification of the project and project
area, (2) results of the pre -field records search, (3) description of field and archival
research methods, (4) inventory and evaluation of recorded sites within the project
area, (5) recommendations for management of recorded properties including further
investigation if necessary, and (6) list of cited references. The report will, at a
minimum, contain (1) a general -area map showing project location, (2) U.S.G.S. 1
topographical quadrangle coverage of the project area showing project boundaries
and locations of recorded historic and prehistoric sites and isolated finds, and (3) at
least one photograph depicting the project area. '
Schedule
All research, field investigations, and reporting will be completed by May 30,
1993. Tellus Consultants will make every effort to complete the investigation in
as short a time as possible.
Personnel
1
Tellus Consultants anticipates using three persons for this project: an Archaeologist
(M.A., Principal Investigator), an Historian /Architectural Historian (M.A.), and an
archaeological field assistant (B.A.). Tellus Consultants will provide clerical,
drafting, and report production support to the principal personnel. Additional
qualified staff are available to expedite Phase 11 testing /evaluation if necessary. '
•

Chanhassen Proposal Page 6
The geomorphologist for this project will be qualified under the Minnesota
Historical Society's standards, published spring, 1993.
Budget
1 Tellus Consultants proposes to accomplish this investigation under a two - tiered,
fixed price arrangement:
Tellus proposes to accomplish all research, survey, shovel testing,
artifact analysis, site recording, and reporting for a fixed sum of $15,
375.50. A detailed itemization is appended to this proposal for this
basic proposal.
Tellus proposes to accomplish excavation of up to four formal test
' units, analysis of artifacts from these units, and reporting of these
excavations for an additional sum of $1,000 per test unit (per site).
This budget item is offered separately because test units may not be
' needed if prehistoric sites are not found in the study area, and fewer
than four formal test units may be required if fewer prehistoric sites
' are found within the project area.

1 Dear Mr. Linzie:
Thank you for spending time with me on Monday to discuss Chanhassen's recently approved ISTEA grant
I application. As I stated over the phone, it was our clear intent to apply for funding solely for the
pedestrian bridge and that is in fact what our application was based upon. We believe the pedestrian
bridge is ideally located for a variety of reasons, one of which includes its location adjacent to a potential
I park and ride facility. This park and ride facility has been identified on city planning efforts undertaken
in the Highway 5 corridor and has received conceptual support by the Hwy. 5 Task Force, the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority and the City Council. However, since the park and ride facility involves
a large number of individuals and groups who must work together on this proposal, we were unable to
I package it along with our bridge request in the current round of ISTEA funding. Therefore, the decision
was made to request funding solely for the bridge. In our Monday conversation, you indicated that you
were aware of this situation. On behalf of the city, I do want to reassure you that we are making good
I faith efforts to make the entire package a reality. In many ways the bridge will serve as a catalyst to
move the project along. We have already retained the assistance of the Hoisington Koegler Group to work
with property owners, developers, area residents and Southwest Metro Transit on the park and ride
1 proposal and are in fact holding our first neighborhood meeting on that shortly.
I am attaching a letter that I recently sent to Southwest Metro Transit on this matter for your files. I
1 appreciate your understanding of this matter and your encouragement of the city's working towards
completion of the entire project. We are prepared to proceed with the development of the pedestrian
overpass on the schedule that has been agreed to and will be working with your staff accordingly.

Dear Diane: 1
I had a conversation with Jim Lasher yesterday concerning our ISTEA grant proposal. As you
are aware, we have had several discussions with both Jim and yourself concerning the grant
application. As you know the City of Chanhassen specifically made the request solely for the
pedestrian bridge over Highway 5, and in no way requested any funding for any portion of the
proposed park and ride facility that may be located on the adjacent parcel. However, after
rereading the application, I found that we were not explicit as to the fact that neither Southwest
Metro nor the other parities involved have not yet come to an agreement on the park and ride 1
facility on this site. This is unfortunate and I recognize that I committed to both of you that this
would be clearly stated and for this I must apologize. The application was prepared with a very
short turnaround time to meet MnDOT guidelines. While it was prepared by a consultant 1
working for the city, it did go out under my signature and I honestly should have caught this
error. A park and ride facility in this area is consistent with plans that have been developed with
the city. We do understand that Southwest Metro has not yet committed to the site or the
proposal, but has only agreed to work with the city on ascertaining its potential. I continue to
truly believe that this is the optimal place for Southwest Metro to locate, and I trust that this will
become apparent to your board as planning proceeds in the future. A copy of our ISTEA
application and MnDOT approval letter is attached for your files.
After speaking with Jim, I called MnDOT Offices to inquire as to whether or not the grant was 1
approved under any misunderstandings. I spoke with Merritt Linzie, Director of Office of
Highway Programs. Mr. Linzie was in charge of the ISTEA review process and our grant
approval letter came under his signature. I outlined the situation to Mr. Linzie and expressed
concerns mentioned above. I indicated that we only applied for funds for the bridge and this was
clearly stated. Mr. Linzie indicated that he was aware of the fact that the park and ride facility
was another project and that it had not yet been approved by the parties involved. He
encouraged us to proceed on working with you and the other parties to make it a reality. I

Dear Karla and Troop 1596:
1 Due to the efforts of the Girl Scouts in the captioned matter, we experienced a much better
turn out than expected at our HHW Collection. We always try to contact as many people as
we can to let them know of our collections. Your Troop went beyond the call of duty in
1 offering to distribute the door knockers to almost every household in Chanhassen! Because
of your willingness to work hard at this, we reached an estimated extra 160 households, who
participated in our program solely in response to the door hanger you provided them. That
1 means that we were able to clean up the homes in Chanhassen and remove the toxicity of
the garbage much more extensively than anticipated.
1 Your commitment to the environment and to the betterment of life for us all was demonstrated
in your involvement with this Collection. Carver County is grateful to you, and I applaud your
efforts.

Dear Mr. Krauss:
This proposal is submitted in response to a request from the City
of Chanhassen to conduct financial feasibility analysis for the
proposed senior housing development. The work program outlined in
1 this proposal is designed to accomplish the following objectives:
1. Determine the City's eligibility and operational criteria
' for the proposed senior housing development.
2. Identify financing programs that are consistent with those
objectives.
3. Conduct financial feasability analysis taking into
consideration the City's senior housing objectives and
eligibility criteria.
4. Prepare a financing program for the proposed development
' based on applicable programs and City objectives.
The proposed program focuses on investigating a variety of public
and private financing programs and examining them in relation to
' the City's housing objectives and operating characteristics of the
proposed development. The work program outlined below is designed
to prepare a financing plan that is consistent with the City's
1 housing objectives.
' Work Program
Financial feasibility analysis will be conducted for the proposed
senior housing complex. Tasks associated with this type of
1 analysis are discussed below:

o Start Up Meeting
A start up meeting will be held with the client at the 1
beginning of the engagement. The purpose of this meeting
will be to identify resident eligibility criteria and
operational objectives for the proposed senior housing
project in Chanhassen.
o Financing Programs 11'
Available financing programs will be identified and
reviewed including, but not limited to, state, federal,
mortgage and tax credit incentives. Resident eligibility
criteria and operational objectives will be prioritized and
matched with financing programs. Those financing programs
that are consistent with City objectives will be identified
and used as a basis for financial feasibility analysis.
Financing programs which best meet these objectives will
then be identified as potential sources of funds for the
senior housing project.
o Development Cost Analysis 1
A development budget will be prepared utilizing estimated
construction costs obtained from Elness and Associates and
estimated land cost obtained from the City of Chanhassen.
Soft -costs and financing fees will also be estimated.
o Financial Feasibility 1
Financial feasibility analysis will be conducted and will
include preparation of a 10 -year cash flow proforma. The
proforma cash flow statement will include all sources of
revenue, operating expenses, taxes, reserves and debt
service.
For those financing alternatives that provide tax sheltered
income, the cash flow proforma will further be developed
into an after -tax income statement. The income statement
will reflect the tax shelter implications of the proposed
development. At this time, it is anticipated a maximum of
three alternatives will be evaluated.

o Public /Private Financial Structuring
1 The amount and type of public financial assistance required
will be estimated based upon the debt service which can be
supported by the development's free and clear income, total
' development cost, and the estimated return required to make
the project attractive to a developer. A preliminary
development program will be prepared that combines the
' strengths and assets of both public and private sectors and
meets the City's objectives.
' The approach outlined in the above work program is designed to
identify appropriate financing programs and relate them to the City
of Chanhassen's objectives to create a financially viable
development. The results of our work will be documented in a final
report designed to meet client needs. The client will be provided
with five bound copies of the final report. The report will
contain appropriate graphics, tables and explanations of our
principal findings, conclusions and recommendations.

Report Purpose ,
This proposal was prepared with the understanding that the results
of our work will be used by the client to develop a financing plan
for the proposed senior housing in Chanhassen. Our report will be
prepared for that purpose and will be subject to the following
qualifications:
o Our analysis will not ascertain the legal and regulatory
requirements applicable to this project, including zoning,
other state and local government regulations, permits and
licenses. No effort will be made to determine the possible
effect on the proposed project of present or future
federal, state or local legislation, or any environmental
or ecological matters.
o Our report and analysis will be based on estimates,
assumptions and other information developed from research
of the market, knowledge of the industry and discussions
with the client. Some assumptions inevitably will not
materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may
occur; therefore, actual results achieved will vary from
the analysis.
o The proposal was prepared with the understanding that the
report contents will not be used in marketing materials or
circular offerings.
o Our report will be intended solely for the purpose
described above and should not be used for any other
purpose without our prior written permission. Permission
for other use of the report will be granted only upon
meeting company standards for the proposed use.

FROM: Jo Ann Olsen, Senior Planner
1 DATE: June 8, 1993
1 - SUBJ: Tree Board Update
1 A Tree Board was created to plan and implement tree preservation/reforestation, disease
control and maintenance policies, etc., and to allow Chanhassen to meet the requirements of
becoming a Tree City USA. The Tree Board is made up of a representative from the Park
1 and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, City Council and four residents.
Basically, the Tree Board is reviewing what the existing situation is in Chanhassen and in
1 terms of forested areas, what direction the city should take. We have found from the DNR
survey of remaining forested areas, that only 5% of the original forested areas in Chanhassen
remain and that some of these forested areas are "pristine" and should be preserved or at least
I developed very carefully. With this baseline in mind, the Tree Board has established some
objectives. The following are some of the subjects that the Tree Board has listed as
1 priorities:
1. Develop a purpose for the Tree Board, with goals and intent.
1 2. Complete the tree inventory and tree stewardship plan conducted by the City and the
DNR.
I 3. Create an improved tree preservation and landscape ordinance.
1 4. Plan Arbor Day activities.
5. Develop educational material for residents/buildings /developers, etc.
I 6. Develop reforestation plans for public property.

The city has just recently hired a forestry intern to work with the city for six months. Jeff
Schultz, the forestry intern, has just graduated from the University of Minnesota with an
undergraduate degree in Urban Forestry. Jeff will assist in the projects initiated by the Tree 1
Board. So far the Tree Board has participated in a successful Arbor Day event, is nearing
completion of a first draft of the improved Tree Preservation Ordinance, has developed a
purpose and has worked on the Tree Stewardship plan. 1
I have attached for your review a copy of the draft Tree Stewardship plan, the draft purpose
1 statement and a list of job responsibilities for the Forestry Intern.

February 1 I th Meeting
Our February 11th meeting was spent defining the values of trees and
1 writing the intent /findings and purpose of the Tree Board. The following is
the transcription of the flip charted ideas, generated at this meeting, for
' everyone to review. We have also attempted to edit the copy and even
expand on some of the writings - all additions to the original text are set in
bold type. Please peruse at your leisure and come with any additions or
deletions at our next meeting. All comments are welcomed
Rewrite Ordinance - We'd like to be on a "fast track" in rewriting the city's
1 landscape ordinance. One way to do this is to meet twice a month. Please
review your schedule for the next 4 months and see how this fits. Let's
discuss on Thursday.

Chanhassen Management Plan 1
February 24, 1993
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is w assist the Chanhassen city p engineers, ineers and elected I
g
officials in making informed decisions about the forested portion of their city. The information
included in this report was gathered by the Department of Natural Resources, Forestry Division
I
at the request of the City of Chanhassen.
The City of Chanhassen is located west ofMinneapolis in the second ring of suburbs surrounding 1
the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The city is served by Minnesota Highways 101, 5,
41 and several hardtop secondary county roads. This area has been under extensive development
I for several years.
The history of Chanhassen was literally carved out of the surrounding area thousands of years
ago Receding glaciers formed and deposited mineral soils. The temperature gradually warmed
and precipitation increased. Plant life flourished and oaks originated as the first large woody
inhabitants. Elm, basswood, ironwood and eventually sugar maple became established on
I
increasingly rich soils. In recent centuries, dense forests covered most of Chanhassen Township.
The early European settlers were impressed by this dense forest filled with big trees, and named
it the "Big Woods ".
1
THE "BIG WOODS"
1
The "Big Woods" was once the largest continuous area of sugar maple- basswood forest in the
I
state, ranging 3,030 square miles. It was a large and stable forest able to survive insect attack,
fire or windstorm. Its substantial area offered habitat opportunities for numerous and varied
wildlife. The magnificent trees of many ages and sizes seemingly assured this woodland a lasting
I
future.
This was not to be. The forest gave way to development. Homesteads, farms, towns and cities
1
were carved out of forest. Paths became roads and highways. Millions of trees were harvested
for lumber and firewood and land was opened up to agricultural uses. What exists in
Chanhassen today are woodlots surrounded by civilization.

I DESCRIPTION OF THE FOREST COVER TYPES IN CHANHASSEN
The "Big Woods" forest type consisted of the following species: red oak, bur oak, white oak,
I black cherry, black walnut, bitternut hickory, butternut, green ash, white ash, sugar maple,
American basswood, hackberry, elms and ironwood. The remnant "Big Woods" forest that
remains is very similar in composition to the original forest. The descriptions of the forests that
l were inventoried are listed in the table in the appendix. The general descriptions that are used
in this report are for two main forest types, either Northern Hardwoods or Oaks.
I Northern Hardwoods consist of predominantly sugar maple and American basswood species.
There may also be a component of oaks, elms, hickory, etc. The forests of this type in this report
are almost all in the 100 year old age group and have been pastured as part of the agricultural
I practices of years ago.
The Oak type consists primarily of red, bur or white oak or some combination of the three.
I There can also be other species of trees from the "Big Woods" forest type. These forests may
have some susceptibility to oak wilt. If the type is primarily red oak, there will be even a greater
problem with construction damage than with other forest types.
I The following information is a report of field data taken from forest inventory information
gathered during the summer of 1992. For more information regarding specific tree species refer
1 to the Tree Species section of the management notebook.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1 This forest is predominately red oak with northern hardwoods species playing a subdominant role.
These red oaks are approximately half way through their lifespan. The red oaks are susceptible .
RIO construction damage, so any development of this woodlot should be well thought out to protect
the root systems of the oaks.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The main component of this woodlot is basswood with some sugar maple. This forest is young
with many years to go before maturity. Basswoods are capable of surviving root disturbance.
Northern hardwood stands sustain damage from site disturbance better than red oak woodlots.

CONCLUSION
Red oak and sugar maple are two tree species that are particularly sensitive to construction
damage. Any damage sustained by the root system of these trees will result in partial or full
mortality of the tree. Root disturbance would include not only cutting the root systems, but also
burying the roots, removing soil away from the roots, compacting the soil around the root system
with heavy equipment or by stacking construction materials on the roots. See brochure on
Construction Damage in the Protection section of the management notebook. 1
There are two dominant forest types in Chanhassen; oaks and northern hardwoods. - Within these
1
two types, are trees that are sensitive to site disturbance. Both of these forest types need to be
managed properly in order to insure that existing woodlots in Chanhassen now will be sustained
for future generations. Woodlots need to be evaluated individually in order to decide the best
management plan for the speck forested area and how this managed woodlot fits into the City
of Chanhassen wooded area as a collective group.
There is little forest left from that of pre-settlement times. The forested areas of Chanhassen
include approximately five percent of the land area of the city. Essential, is a thoughtful land
usage policy regarding these woodlots in order to insure that green space and park areas are
available to the people of Chanhassen. The inventory confirms the observation that most of the
woodlots left in the city are very old, in excess of 100 years and generally in good condition.
These remaining remnants of the "Big Woods" are going to provide beauty and recreation for
years to come, if they are allowed to continue to grow and develop.

To the Personnel Dept.:
Recently I was informed by Gary Johnson, University of
Minnesota Urban Forestry Advisor, that a forestry internship was
available in Chanhassen. I previously contacted Jo Ann Olsen,
Senior Planner, to find out how to apply for the job. Enclosed
is my resume and an application for employment. I have also
received confirmation, by phone, of an interview date scheduled
for May 6th at 1:30 p.m. ,
Based on information I obtained from speaking with Jo Ann
Olson, this internship appears to be an excellent opportunity to
gain experience in urban forestry. I will be graduating from the
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities with a B.S. in Urban
Forestry this June and would enjoy the chance to put this
knowledge to work for Chanhassen.
Please contact me at 379 -7500 anytime if there are any
schedule problems. Otherwise, I will be at 690 Coulter Dr. by
1:30 on thursday, May 6th. I will call if there is a need for
rescheduling.

MEMORANDUM i I
TO: Scott Harr, Public Safety Director
FROM: Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director - 1/
DATE: June 8, 1993 I�
SUBJ: Hunting Within Chanhassen City Limits
As administrator of the city's annual goose removal program, it is my opinion that the
availability of hunting areas within the City of Chanhassen reduces our dependence on the 11
removal program. The individuals participating in hunting in Chanhassen do so at their own
expense, while the removal program relies on general revenues. As you are aware, the Minnesota
Landscape Arboretum harvests deer by night shooting as a control measure. Collisions with 11
motor vehicles is another effective, although undesirable, controller of deer populations. In
summation, my message in this regard is that although the general welfare of the public is
paramount and the landscape of the city is changing rapidly; hunting within the city's boundaries
remains an effective tool in controlling undesirable wildlife populations.

May 20, 1993
Present: Arlene Borner, Greg Schol, Luke Melchert, Cheryl
Nelson, Margie Karjalahti
Values Week 1994 is scheduled for February 20 - 26, 1994.
Linda Groskreutz has it in the community schedule and
has set aside CHS gym from 4:00 on for Sat.night the 26th.
The purpose of this meeting was report on the progress of
each subcommittee to recruit new members:
Finances: Luke asked for names of people to contact from
Chanhassen and Victoria for this committee. He will
work with Jeanne to finish up our budget needs for 1993.
The fiscal year ends June 30 for Community Ed.
Sweatshirts: Pam Pokorny said she's asked several people to
join her on this committee but all have said it is too
far away to make a commitment yet. She feels confident
when the time comes help will be there. Greg Schol will
be contacting Pam to sell sweatshirts at River City Days.
Margie wondered if Chanhassen's July 4th would be another
time to make them available....she'll contact Todd Hoffman
at Chan Park & Rec.
Publicty /Speakers /Ministerium: Margie, Jeanne, Arlene....
and new recruit Vonnie Barto. Arlene reported the CMS
Respect & Responsibility Committee is making plans for
93/94 and are interested in storytellers. We need to
be encouraging them and coordinating with them. If we
hope to address cultural diversity issue with storytellers
in 94 we might use the Black Storytellers Alliance which
comes highly recommended by Sue Hines who saw them at
Guardian Angels. Other storytellers might include some
local talent from the Native American community, and
other recommendations given this committee. We will
report in next meeting on our research in this area.
Arlene will check also on Bob Stromberg as a speaker.
Schools: Arlene, Margie, Therese Berquist & Kay Molnau
will meet in the late summer to discuss ideas.
Businesses: Cheryl said she would contact Candy & Jerry
to get together before meeting in fall. They feel
that as they make business contacts regarding Values
