Upon review of our files, I found a letter I had written to you dated May 21, 1991 regarding a previous billing error on your surface water utility rate. At that time, the City inadvertantly charged you a higher land use rate (54131 per acre per quarter) which is equivalant to a business park rate. Since then, your bill has been revised to reflect the current land use, industrial /office rate which is 532.24 per acre per quarter. I have confirmed my drainage calculations for your parcel and am confident that we are charging you the accurate rate per acre and therefore no adjustment in your billing is warranted. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, CITY OF CHANHASSEN h David C.

This charge is being assessed to ' every parcel of land in the city to address issues concerning storm water management, wetland protection and water quality improvements. 1 As with any new program there are occasionally errors found in the system. Unfortunately, one such error was made on the calculation of your user fee. The user fee is calculated based on the amount of run -off generated from the property. As with industrial or commercial type properties more storm run -off is generated compared to residential due to the amount of hard surface coverage i.e. parking lots and rooftops. Therefore, these types of properties pay a higher portion of the bill. 1 Please find enclosed a revised utility bill reflecting the accurate amount due based on the amount of run -off generated from your parcel of land. I apologize ' for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. • Sincerely, CI CHANHA.SSIId 1 avid C.

This letter is reiterating the concept that City Manager Don Ashworth and I discussed with you and Chief Deputy Castleberry prior to Bob graduating from his skills training. II Bob's title has been changed to Public Safety Officer in order to differentiate his position from that of Community Service Officer. As such, I anticipate the majority of Bob's duties to remain the II same as when he was a CSO, but playing an increased role in assisting me with the administrative matters. On duty, Bob will still be handling code complaints, animal control matters, as well r as attending meetings and assisting with the overall Community Service Officer program in Chanhassen. Bob has been issued navy uniform shirts to differentiate him from the CSO's, but, other than II the firearm the uniform is the same. As we had initially discussed, when Bob is on duty with the City of Chanhassen, he will be available to assist the Carver County II Sheriff's Department as needed. This is similar to how things have been for more than a year now, but now Bob will be able to assist your department with law enforcement calls as well. I believe some misunderstanding has occurred in that we would not want Bob to have to receive specific authority from a CCSO supervisor to respond to a call. Rather, if your deputy needs assistance, Bob should be II able to respond. For example, if there was an alarm call in Chanhassen, an accident within our City, or other call that would need two officers, and only one deputy is in town, your dispatcher could request Bob to go; the deputy could ask Bob to assist; or, I/ Bob could directly proceed to back up your deputy. Similarly, if the 2800 squad was tied up on a call, Bob would be available to take whatever calls needed to be handled in Chanhassen. It is our II III t4: PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 I Sheriff Al Wallin November 9, 1992 Page 2 understanding that Bob would have the implied authorization to g P assist your department as needed. If Bob is to be available at any time, I will want him armed at all times on duty. Also, we will want Bob to have your authorization to conduct radar 11 surveys or other traffic enforcement matters that might otherwise pull the 2800 squad off the road. While routine patrol and traffic enforcement would not be a specific part of Bob's job description, we would want him to take appropriate action if he observed a situation that would warrant action. I understand that some individuals have been concerned that Bob has 11 been in training with your department, but in our uniform. It is important for these individuals to realize that while Bob has been deputized, just as I have been, he remains our employee, while you 1 have been good enough to permit him to be trained by your FTOs. As we have discussed, if you would like to work out something with Bob so that he could work shifts for your department when he is not on duty here, and in a county uniform, that is fine with us. The City Manager and I believe that this cooperative step in creatively responding to the growing needs of public safety in Chanhassen is a very exciting one. This could not be done without the support of you and the deputies working with us. I am also very pleased at the positive response and support shown to Bob from the deputies that generally work outside of Chanhassen, and I know that Bob appreciates this as well. I hope this letter has helped clarify issues that people may have ' questioned. We all realize that this is an innovative step, and if the various "what if's" occur, we will work together to respond to them for the continued benefit of the community we serve. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you and Jim Castleberry, as well as your deputies (field training personnel & road deputies) , as well as City Manager Don Ashworth, for the trust that they have placed in Bob and myself to work with your department to make this work.

For all the talk of family values, the need for change and "getting 1 under the hood," time and again George Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot all returned to the same message: creating and retaining jobs. 1 Each candidate in his own way spoke the gospel of economic development. Restore American competitiveness. Rebuild the country's manufacturing base. Keep jobs from going abroad. Translating this rhetoric into reality will be the task of the 1 newly - elected United States Congress and Minnesota Legislature when they convene in January. It won't be easy. 1 Primary underwriter Politicians often talk about jobs as a beginning, a chance for a person ,jqinnegasco® to start a new life. But to those most in need of employment, a job 1 often is a destination, reachable only if numerous obstacles can be overcome. Sometimes the obstacles are simply too great. 1 Supporting underwriters AT &T For public and private policies to focus only on the creation of jobs IBM Corporation 1 Northern States Power Company will not be enough. They must also help the person who doesn't have Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. the educational or social skills needed to hold a job.

TCF Bank Lutheran Brotherhood North American Life and Casualty Asplund Coffee Company, Inc. 1 Investing in "workfare" programs doesn't reduce public welfare spending if the workers don't have dependable transportation, reliable child care, affordable health care and other support 1 systems. Economic development in the 1990s must create new opportunities for more people, not merely redistribute existing resources. Public and private economic development policies should contribute to making the community a better place to live. And, economic development strategies must focus both on creating jobs and empowering people through training and social support programs to gain employment skills. 1 Accomplishing these goals will best be done through a new partnership for an economic development strategy between government and private businesses. For such a partnership to succeed, however, government and businesses must first overcome the mistrust that exists between the two when it comes to economic development. Government's rhetoric about a "broader" view of economic development makes many business t people nervous. Most businesses, for example, have seen too many programs that train people for jobs that don't exist. And, through all the programs, of course, has run the red tape. The mistrust is not a one -way street. Many in government believe businesses are interested only in the cheapest labor working in the cheapest location to deliver the highest profits. ' Yet, bringing the private and public sectors together is essential if economic development is to focus not just on creating new jobs, but providing new opportunities for our communities. Minnesota already has rich traditions of businesses investing in their communities and public- private partnerships. But economic development seems to touch a raw nerve in both sectors. The not- for -profit philanthropic community could be an essential bridge in a new partnership ' for an economic development strategy between government and businesses. The philanthropic community is a neutral ground in which good ideas from both the public and private sectors can be nurtured and given the chance to flourish. Private philanthropy can also support 1 experiments, pilot projects, and research and evaluation that government does not have the resources or flexibility for and that businesses see as either too risky or inappropriate. In fact, the philanthropic community already is instrumental in developing and supporting the infrastructure of programs that help prepare people for jobs and make it possible for them to maintain their employment. There are three immediate challenges facing Minneapolis in which a partnership of businesses, government and philanthropic organizations may be not just the best solution but the only solution. 1 1 1 First is the need to invest in the small businesses that are essential to revitalizing inner city neighborhoods. These businesses - -the small retail stores, restaurants and service shops- -not only employ Local residents, but they help define a neighborhood. They give a neighborhood stability. A private -public partnership can provide the seed money to help small businesses get started 1 and it can provide the training and on -going counsel to help the businesses succeed. Second, businesses and government must work in partnership to attract larger, thriving businesses. Businesses looking for relocation or expansion need to tell policymakers what it will take to locate in areas of high unemployment and government must listen. If tax incentives 1 such as enterprise zones are what are needed to make areas of high unemployment attractive, so be it. Third, a comprehensive economic development strategy must be developed for the future. That strategy, if it is to be effective, should include recommendations for economic development that will build comity, attract larger employers to the city and ensure a match between the needs of employers and people in our inner -city neighborhoods. Everyone has a stake in the success of an economic development partnership. If the challenges of our cities aren't met through economic development, then they will be addressed through higher taxes, more crime and a deteriorating society. 1 An economic development partnership of government, businesses and the not - for - profit philanthropic community is a matter of necessity, not Minnesota nicety. 1 1 1 1 1 Join other business and community leaders and voice your response to this commentary series and the economic development issues affecting the region at the Greater Minneapolis Chamber's November 11 Dialogue program.

Mr. Don Ashworth, City Manager, has referred your letter to my attention I for response. First of all, I would like to explain what the surface water program is all about. The surface water program is a program designed to protect and improve our natural environment. It focuses on three distinct areas - protecting and improving water I quality, preserving sensitive wetlands and managing storm water. The primary problems impacting our lake water quality and wetland preservation is non -point source pollution. Examples of non -point source pollution are eroded soils, organic and chemical wastes. The I program is also designated to identify these non -point source pollution problems and to limit introduction of this type of pollution into our water systems. It is also our intent upon developing a system of removing these pollutants before storm water is discharged into our 1 lakes and wetlands. Although you do not have storm sewer in your neighborhood, this utility bill reflects a user I fee for the surface water management program that the Qty has implemented in October of 1990. This user fee is being charged to every parcel of land in the City based on land use. The fee is calculated based on the amount of runoff generated from the property. For I example, industrial and commercial -type properties would generate more runoff than residential -type uses due to the amount of hard - surface coverage, i.e. parking lots, rooftops. Therefore, these types of properties pay a higher portion of the bill accordingly. Based on 1 review of your parcel, I have determined approximately one - fourth of your 2.35 acre parcel is above wetland -type conditions. The remaining three- quarters of the parcel is seasonally 1 - 1 t0, PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 Ms. Betty Wold • November 3, 1992 Page 2 1 inundated with runoff from the surrounding neighborhoods. Yours and your neighbor's backyard is a natural low area and accordingly will retain runoff. 1 Attached for your convenience is a copy of the fee structures for the different types of land use. I have highlighted the cost breakdown for residential properties such as yours ($3.22 per lot). This is on the assumption that the residential lot is one -third of an acre. By comparison, approximately one -half of an acre of your property is above the wetland -type condition and therefore you are actually being charged less than say other typical one -third acre residential parcels in the City. Again, thank you for your letter. I hope this letter gives you a little better idea of what the I surface water program is designated to provide. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, I CITY OF CHANHASSEN 1 4 Alci—r•- 1 David C. Hempel Sr. Engineering Technician DCH:ktm Encs.

Sanitation facilities in the existing building may be used, however the 1 fixture count must comply with the requirements of UBC table 5 -E. Determination of compliance involves calculating the total occupant load of the existing building and the additional relocatables and comparing t resulting required number of fixtures with the existing number of fixtures. - _ 5. Foundations must be below frost'as required by the State Building Code (SBC) . The foundation is = subject "to =nors�al inspections. ' 6. Prefabricated classrooms must conform to SBC 1360.

I have, though, developed some potential options for temporary classroom space. 11 First, we recently completed a survey of available lease space in the community for properties in excess of 5,000 sq.ft. Those locations are: 1 309 Lake Hazeltine Drive - 10,450 sq.ft. - 100% air conditioned - $3.50 sq.ft. II 306 Lake Hazeltine Drive (Big Stone Canning) 5,000 -7,500 sq.ft. - this is fully finished office space - $6.00 sq.ft. II Further information on these opportunities can be obtained from Mark Steingas at 470 -6006. Interestly, at the present time no other industrial or large commercial vacancies exist. 1 The second option would be discussing the potential of utilizing the five classrooms at the Hazeltine Gates Building which served as St. Thomas's evening MBA classrooms. Attached is a letter from Miki Dzugan which outlines this option. Recently, I talked with Miki further and she stated the University also had approximately 8,000 additional square feet on the third floor, west wing. As an alternative to purchasing temporary classrooms the City of Chaska would be willing to construct an addition to the Community . Center providing 8 -10 classrooms for use at the Middle School.

In addition as part of this option, additional core facilities such as gymnasiums or ' potentially lunchroom space could be provided. If there is interest in this option the City would be willing to prepare more detailed proposal with costs and design.

In fact, it is anticipated that by the end of this week the entire roadway segment will have a compacted Class 5 base in place. Unfortunately, due to the uncertainty in weather beyond the end of this week, concrete curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing cannot be placed this fall. However, the compacted Class 5 base will provide an ample driving surface throughout the winter months. Snow plowing for Minnewashta Parkway will be performed by the City of Chanhassen maintenance department. Any specific problems related to snow plowing should be directed to the City. During the spring thaw, the roadway will be inspected on a frequent basis to identify and repair any frost boils or soft spots that should occur. If you would like to report any problems related to the road surface condition, please notify the Engineer's office at 448- 8838 and the contractor will then be notified. Work on the roadway will then begin again as soon as soil and weather conditions permit. On another note, for those residents who had mailboxes existing along Minnewashta Parkway, a notice will be distributed to you with information on mailbox location and service during the winter and early spring months. In summary, residents south of Trunk Highway 7 and north of Glendale Drive will have their mailboxes located at Linden Circle. Residents south of Glendale Drive and north of Kings Road will have their mailboxes located at Stratford Ridge. Residents south of Kings Road and north of Maple Shores Drive will have their mailboxes located at Red Cedar Point Road. Residents south of Maple Shores Drive and north of Trunk Highway 5 will have their mailboxes grouped at Hawthorne Circle. Again, more detailed information concerning mail box location and service will be provided in flyers distributed to the affected property owners only. 1 t 4, PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 I November 17, 1992 Page 2 i On behalf of the City, I would like to express our appreciation for your patience and tolerance through the inconveniences associated with this difficult road construction process. 1 We will continue to manage this road situation as best that we can during this winter season.

City Council Monday evening, November 9, 1992. Her request was to ask if the City Council would act on her claim against the city because of water in her basement. The basis for the claim appears twofold - 1). The contractor graded her rear yard 4orrectly; and/or 2) The city required the developer, through a development contract, to provide a notice to s potential purchasers that an architect or engineer sign off on the plans. There is no proof (at City Hall) that an architect or engineer did sign the plans. I did not get the impression that Ms. Miller was seeking advice from either our Building or Engineering Departments as to how corrections could be completed. In contrast, I sense that her purpose was to again submit the claim for action by the City Council. I believe I made an error in advising her that she should appear on our next regular agenda allowing time for publication and review of background materials. Your response to this procedural question is requested. Background - The requirement to have an architect or engineer sign off on the construction plans originated in the Planning Department. During the time prior to the development (Fox Chase) being approved, we had approved similar plats for Lotus Lake Estates and Trolls Glen. All three were similar in that they had reasonably sized back yards, i.e. 50 to 100 feet. However, the 50 to 100 foot back yard was in fact a drop off directly into a lake. Our planners are not architects or engineers, but they were concerned that a future purchaser did think about the issue of building his house on a cliff and take whatever precautions may seem appropriate so that his or her house did not drop down the ravine as had occurred in parts of California during that same time frame. It is almost ironic that Ms. Miller is using this particular section of the development contract (copy attached), as the basis for seeking damages. Although Ms. Miller currently 1 tat PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 7 Roger Knutson November 13, 1992 Page 2 considers that the city is at fault, it may be found that our inclusion of that section may i , strengthen her position for relief from one of the three parties logically at fault, i.e. the original 4 general contractors/his subcontractor, previous owner for non - disclosure, or architect/engineer. Unfortunately, Ms. Miller has not found relief through those parties logically at risk and, is for this reason, looking to the City of Chanhassen. Part of her claim lies on the basis that the city 1 does not have the original plan set. State law requires that cities maintain residential plan sets I for 6 months following issuance of the permit. We generally maintain those plan sets for _ -= approximately 1 year. As I noted at the Council meeting, it would be physically impossible for 1 a growing city like ours to maintain these plan sets. Typically, a homeowner, contractor, or architect do maintain these. Again, the three likely parties to the damage claim appear to be unwilling to provide her with a plan set or to correct the grading. = Re- Statement of original Question - In light of the above facts, did this office properly advise Ms. Miller that she should reappear before the City Council and, if not, what advice should have been I i given? 1 a y J, 1 r 1 R ) 1 . :1 1 • 1 1 - 1 • 1 CAMPBELL, KNUTSON, SCOTT & FUCHS, P.A.
