Surveys indicated that 258 Chanhassen residents used the service. I am sure that the convenient location at the Public Works Building in Chanhassen had an impact on the number of people that showed up. Marcus Zbinden was supportive throughout the process by providing advice, assistance, and direction. Shawn Foley was extremely helpful on the collection days by answering questions and helping load appliances as they were brought in. Many positive comments were heard from residents that came to the drop off site, including that another collection day should be held in the future. 1 On behalf of the City of Chanhassen, I would like to extend my gratitude to you and your staff. We look forward to working with you again. Please consider having this service available in the 1 future. It was such a positive experience, I would like to participate in helping you organize a second collection. We suggest working on a fall clean-up if possible.

Since that time, we have received official responses from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (see attached letter) that would appear to preclude Chanhassen's continued participation in the program as an entitlement community under the auspices of Hennepin County. By way of a brief synopsis of the problem, Chanhassen's corporate boundaries are split between Carver and Hennepin Counties. By far the bulk of our population has always resided in Carver County; however, we have a very significant employment base in Hennepin County, with over 1,500 jobs located in this area. Under this "split place" situation, we have been able to participate under the Hennepin County CDBG program. Hennepin County is an entitlement area, thus, we have been assured of a steady source of block grant funds which we believe we have put to excellent use in our , community. In the past several years, the few homes that we had left in Hennepin County were removed either directly by the State of Minnesota or by the City of Chanhassen working on behalf of the State of Minnesota relative to highway improvement programs for Highways , 5 and 101. Since the 1990 census shows no population within the Hennepin County area of our community, James R. Broughman, Director of HUD Entitlement Communities Division, has determined that Chanhassen is no longer eligible to participate under the Hennepin County program. This represents a significant loss of funds for the city that jeopardizes our ability to respond to the needs of our low- moderate income, handicapped and elderly members of our community. 1 1 es- to 4: PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 1 ' August 11, 1992 Page 2 Chanhassen has artici ated in the CDBG program through Hennepin County for over a P P P 1�' g P decade. As I noted above, I believe we put this program to excellent use. Over the years we have provided subsidies for low to moderate income housing improvements, constructed handicapped accessible fishing piers and playground equipment in our city parks, and provided strong financial support for the South Shore Senior Center, which although it is located in Excelsior, has provided a useful service for Chanhassen residents. In recent years, the primary emphasis of the program has shifted to senior support services. We currently fund a part-time senior coordinator for the new Chanhassen Senior Center. This provides an exciting example of how federal funds are leveraged since the entire cost of construction for the senior center, approximately $150,000, was paid for by the City of Chanhassen. Other CDBG revenues are currently being used to support the Sojourn Adult Day Care Program, to offer the H. O. M. E. Maintenance and Assistance Program for senior and handicapped individuals, and conduct a feasible study for a potential senior housing project in our ' community. These services have proven to be of vital importance to our community and we believe that we have managed these funds in a highly professional manner. ' We have explored administrative solutions to rectifying this situation but have been unable to do so. We believe the situation of being a "split place" community having no population in the entitlement area is highly unusual and probably unique in the country. We further note ' that the loss of population in the entitlement county was through public action by an outside governmental agency. We would therefore request your support in obtaining approval for an amendment of Section 106(b)(5) for the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 Amended (Senate File #3031; House File #53 -347). We would suggest that it might be appropriate to add language as follows: ' "Should the qualifying area population of such a unit of local government be reduced to zero due to state or federal government action, the total population of such unit of local government shall be included in computing amounts under this section with respect to urban counties." If the above mentioned paragraph is incorporated into the act, it would resolve Chanhassen's ' uncertainties of being able to continue with the program, and we believe it does so without creating any significant loopholes that might degrade the effectiveness of a CDBG program ' elsewhere. Your assistance on behalf of the City of Chanhassen would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact either myself or Paul Krauss, City Planning Director for additional information. We would be happy to meet with members of your staff at their convenience, should this be necessary. 1 1 1 August 11, 1992 1 Page 3 1 Thank you in advance for your assistance. 1 Sincerely, /.;:vo....0 , - onald J.

Ackmann County Administrator I A-2300 Government Center Minneapolis, MN 55487 II Dear Mr. Aokmannt Your letter to Mr. Feeney, Manager of the HUD office in Minneapolis, has been referred to me for reply since my office is II responsible for national policy for the Community Development Block Grant (CPBG) program. In your letter, you take issue with _ some portions of a letter sent by Mr. Nagoski, Director of HUD's Data Systems and Statistics Division to Ms. Hayden of Hennepin County's Office of planning and Development. Specifically, you question the basis for the decision reflected in that letter. that HUD will not include the City of Chanhassen in the formula II computation of the Urban Hennepin-County's share of CDBD funds for Federal fiscal years 1992 and 1993. In your letter, you cite section 106(d) of the Housing and II Community Development Act of 1974 (the Act), as amended, BUD Notice CPD 90 -24, and 24 CFR 570.307(d)(2). You conclude that each of these clearly indicates that once a unit of general local government elects to participate with an urban county, it will 11 remain a part of that urban county for . the period of time for which the county is qualifying for such status. It is true that HUD generally makes the point that, in I deciding to sign a cooperation agreement, a participating unit of g overnment is to understand that it is making a decision that will be binding for the entire period of the urban county I qualification. This is an important point for such units of government because it carries with it the disqualification of the participating unit from receiving funds from the State under the CMG small Cities program. However, the Department has not previously encountered the situation that has now developed with • respect to the City of Chanhassent that it so- Galled "split place" would have population residing in the county at the time of I joining the urban county consortium but would not have Any population residing there some time during the remainder of the qualification period. I cc: Sue Miller Lou Thompson John Nagoski 1 • Thomas looney, 5.9S, Minneapolis Office, Office of the Manager II 1 . 1 . ' • • / E ( . . • . .M -. Vrl/1 I f ♦Y..r. �/1 ♦ • r .. .r .w � ' • 2 Nevertheless, we are now faced with that situation, and we must abide by the Statute. In consultation with RUD's Office of General Counsel, we determined that the language in section 106 concerning he formula calculation clearly blocks the ino],usion of the balance of Chanhassen's population in the formula for determining the urban county's entitlement amount. This means that the county will receive no money to meet the needs of that II portion of the City. The basis for our conclusion is found at section 106(b)(5) of the Act, as cited in the Hr. Nagoski's letter. That section reads, in parts "In computing the amounts under this section with respect to any urban county, there shall be included all of the area of II any unit of local government which is part of, but not located entirely within the boundaries of, such urban county if the, part of such ueit of local government which is within" the boundaries of such urban county would otherwise be included in computing the amount for such urban county under this section " (emphasis added). You question this interpretation because that section refers to II the "area" and does not specifically mention the population or other formula factors. However, the area a community is not II used in the allocation. The factors that are used in that formula include the characteristics of population, poverty and certain housing elements that are located within the arse. (Section 102(b) of the Act requires HUD to use the most recent data available from the Census Bureau for purposes of formula oomputations each year.) Because the area of the City that is located within Hennepin County dose not now contain any of those II characteristios, as reported by the U.E. Bureau of the Census, there is nothing that would be included in the formula for that area. Hence, the County reosi.ved no money for the portion of the City that is within the county boundaries. further, based on the i language in section 106(b)(5) as cited above, we concluded that there was no basis for including in the formula the characteristics of the City that are located outside of Hennepin II County. Since neither the law nor the regulation precludes an urban!' county from expending some of its entitlement funds outside its jurisdiction the County, at its option, may use some of its 1992 funds for this purpose. However, this seems to be an unfair outcome, since under section 106 of the statute the State will bell i ts re s share of credit funds. the entire Department its ha of fu • 1 I . v FROM : E'KJ%t',� 1 NU i4 Wt., i .x pm . u • ..1- . ..... -- - ` -_ • 3 1 . stated in the March 11, 1992, letter to Me.

This was not intended to mean that the City and County must take action to nullify the cooperation agreement.

When Pierce proposed his Stratford Ridge project I was in favor of what he was trying to do, but having seen the way that he has proceeded I feel strongly that more rigid controls should be placed on building sites after a certain period of time. Drive by this spot and take a look -- his drainage ditch is a mockery and has accomplished very little. The only good thing to be said about the weed growth is that it covers up the ditch. His retaining wall along the ditch has no tie -backs and will start toward the ditch one day soon. The trees that have been planted in that area appear to have been planted after the lots are sold. I ' think that sodding and trees should be a condition upon which permits are granted. As to setbacks, take a boat ride around Red Cedar Point. Variances granted in that area have turned a beautiful park into a fishing camp and have completely destroyed the relationship between land and buildings. I do not know what has happened in other places, but I gather that the enclosed is "more of the same ". Whay have setbacks if granting of variances is more or less a standard practice? I do not know the Ways, nor do I have an opinion as to the validity of their request. I just have the feeling that enough is enough. Yours truly, • 11 ' e e XL" - .� Hennepin Conservation District • Memorandum 1 To: Mayor Don Chmiel, City of Chanhassen • From: David Anderson, Chairman Dare: 30 July, 1992 ' Subject: Informal review of the Hennepin Ground Water Plan 1 The Hennepin Conservation District is holding a series of informal meetings with local governments to review the Hennepin County Ground Water Plan. The second meeting was held on 24 June at the Minnetonka city hall. Discussion focused ' on three issues: mandatory language in the city requirements, cost to cities, and the structure of the joint - powers organization. We have looked at mandatory language directed at cities (Chapter 3). A copy of the amended section has been sent to your city manager /administrator /clerk. We recognized and sympathized with the issue of cost, but in the absence of any cost estimates or specific suggestions could not and cannot make any improvements to the plan. We recognized potential problems with the structure of the joint - powers organization. The only suggestion was that representation could be by watersheds rather than cities. This is ' fine if cities so choose and the plan allows such action. Hence, no changes to the plan are contemplated unless we receive specific suggestions about the structure of the JPO. You and members of the city council are cordially invited to attend these meetings. The ' next meeting will be held from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, 20 August, 1992, at the Minnetonka city hall, located at 14600 Minnetonka Boulevard (County Road 5) west of I- 494. We will meet in the Shady Oak Room. Please call James Piegat or Leigh Harrod at our office if you have any questions regarding the Hennepin County Ground Water Plan. • 1 1 ' 205 Ridge Plaza Bldg. 12450 Wayzata Boulevard Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343 Telephone (612) 544 -8572 0 Printed on recycled paper CITYOF Obt ‘ r'i CHANHASSEN 6 90 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

During 1992, the Coalition has I worked cooperatively with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) to complete the highway design joint powers agreement, to finalize the Highway 212 I environmental impact statement, and to obtain additional federal funding to facilitate the design and programming of the various construction projects. I New Hwy 212 is an 18 -mile project which will not represent an alternative to TH 5 or existing TH 212 until it is fully constructed. While the planning and development of the projects move toward the western portion of the corridor, the Coalition will be involved in I the implementation phases that will hopefully begin in the eastern end of the Corridor in 1993. The Coalition, for example, will assist MNDOT with the traffic circulation plan for the initial construction phases and will continue to advocate for additional federal and 1 state funding for the projects and for state programming of additional stages of 212. We appreciate your past financial assistance. As you develop your 1993 budget, we I request that you continue your generous contribution to the Coalition. Being aware of the 1992 amount that was used for general Coalition activities and the design contract, we are requesting a contribution of $5,000 rather than $10,000. Our intention would be that 1 the 1993 contribution fund only general Coalition activites and not the design contract which we think is fully funded. 1 Thank you again for your past support and participation.

This cost -share money is to be applied to implementing Eurasian 1 watermilfoil control programs. Once an agreement is reached between your organization and the Department of Natural Resources on the best use of these funds, a contractor selected by the State II will perform the necessary work. Preliminary results of the 1991 applications of aquatic herbicides 1 for Eurasian watermilfoil control indicate the best work was accomplished during the fall.

If you have any information in this regard, I would be appreciative if you would contact me. 1 I have enclosed some of the information documented from the previously investigated case for your information.

I have often stated that the City of Chanhassen is highly regarded by the Metropolitan Council and other agencies because of our forward thinking efforts to appropriately manage and protect surface water in our community. r The enclosed memo indicates that the Metropolitan Council's interim strategy to reduce non - point source pollution in the river will take effect on September 30, 1992. After that date, the Metropolitan Council will require modifications to comprehensive plans to ensure that they incorporate the required use of ponding areas meeting NURP standards, use of best management practices to mitigate impacts from development, and that the community adopt 1 the Minnesota DNR Shoreland Regulations. Effectively, we have already complied with the three requirements or are in the process of r doing so. We already utilize NURP standards and best management practices on a defacto basis as developments are approved. However, it is imperative that the Best Management Practices Handbook, developed by Bonestroo Engineering for the city under the Surface Water Program, be adopted by reference into city ordinances so that these standards can be informally applied. The SWMP committee is in the process of making final recommendations and changes to this and we expect to have it to the Planning Commission and City Council by fall. As to the third requirement regarding shoreland regulations, the city currently operates under , the DNR's existing shoreland protection standards. We are in the process of reviewing their current proposals and are preparing ordinance modifications that we believe would be 1 vas, PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 SWMP, Planning Commission and City Council July 31, 1992 Page 2 reasonable and consistent with the DNB's goals. We do not believe that adopting the DNR program by reference, as is currently the case, would be appropriate since it contains numerous standards that simply do not apply in the Twin Cities. Staff will be getting back to the Planning Commission on these standards in the fall. Chanhassen staff responded to a request for comments on the Metropolitan Council program. Our concerns are discussed on Page 11 of the document. • - I ; 8. The Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will work with State of Minnesota agencies to reduce nonpoint source pollution to area water bodies in Greater Minnesota. 9. The Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will monitor the effectiveness of the above - mentioned interim steps to address the nonpoint source pollution problem in the Minnesota River Basin. If sufficient progress has not been made by 1994 to reduce nonpoint source pollution to the Minnesota River, the Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will work to devise a solution designed to meet the EPA/MPCA goal of 40 percent reduction by 1996.
