Chanhassen, MN 55317 Lots 1435 -9, Carver Beach
,t.
Dear Paul:
I
We're finally getting ready to build there at the corner of Cree and
Carver Beach Road. As I was going back through my file, I came across
some of my original notes made several years ago. 1
r
According to my notes, when the very first inquiry call was made to
Sharmin Al -Jaff, she stated that the site was "unbuildable without a
variance" because it was "substandard size" and there were "questions"
about drainage. This was before she knew of my interest in listing
the property for sale on behalf of Mssrs Daughenbaugh and Tenney. In
fact, at the time, we were considering the property for our own per- k
sonal home. 6
Further, once the property was listed in MLS, inquirers who called the
City were told the exact same thing. This information was always con-
sistent, accurate, and complete. No caller I know of was ever told that
the site was "unbuildable without further qualification.
That's why it was so puzzling and disconcerting to hear neighbors at
the hearings state that they (and others) had been told by City staff
that the property was simply and unequivocably "unbuildable" without
any qualifying and clarifying of the actual status. Why would City
staff tell neighbors one thing and other inquirers another? Obviously,
they were told the same things, but chose to interpret differently or
listened selectively, or perhaps had self- serving selective recollect-
ions at the hearings. I
In any case, the record should be set straight. There is no reliable
indication that Ms. Al -Jaff ever gave out information that wasn't con- 1
sistent, accurate, and complete.
Thank you,
//- t.7.--4 ., ,

SOUTHWEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE
1991 ANNUAL REPORT ,
TO : Southwest Metro Drug Task Force Committee '
FROM: Sgt. William M. Hudson
Task Force Coordinator
DATE: 1/9/92 ,
Law Enforcement Agencies involved in Task Force:
Mound Police Department
Chaska Police Department
Shakopee Police Department
Prior Lake Police Department
Scott County Sheriff's Department
Carver County Sheriff's Department
Chanhassen Public Safety Department
St Boni /Minnetrista Public Safety Department
South Lake Minnetonka Public Safety Department.'
Task Force service area: '
Scott County, Carver County, and a portion of Southwestern
Hennepin, approximate population 125,000. 1
Agencies with officers assigned to Task Force:
Mound Police Department -two officers assigned, one as the
Task Force coordinator, and the other as an agent.
Carver County Sheriff's Department- one deputy assigned as
a agent. '
Shakopee Police Department- one officer assigned as an
agent. This agent was assigned for nine months of the
year.
Each county does have an attorney assigned to the Task
Force: Peter Ivy from Carver County, Gail Biez from 11 Hennepin County, and Conrad Skonieczny from Scott County.
Peter Ivy attends all committee meetings.
Officers assigned to Task Force in 1991: Sgt William
Hudson, Officers Limond, Lotton, Jackson, Nelson and
Deputies Spielman and Robbins.
Officer Jackson was hired on a contract basis to the Task
Force, served only 1 month, and was hired by Bloomington.
Deputy Robbins was assigned in the last half of December
when Deputy Spielman was reassigned to his department. ,
I
r
During 1991 the Task Force had one assigned officer
without any salary reimbursement. With this additional
1 officer, the Task Force had 5 officers assigned, which is
the goal of the Task Force.
Due to shortage of coverage this caused at the home
' agency, the officer had to be reassigned to his
department. •
Task Force location change:
The Task Force was housed at the South Lake Minnetonka
Public Safety building in Excelsior since 1987.
1 On 11/1/91, the Task Force moved to a new location, the
old Corps of Engineers office in the Chaska Municipal
building. The Task Force gained about four times the room
' it had at the previous location. It is hoped that the
Task Force will be at the new location for the next two
years.
With the added room at the new location, the Task Force
office provides each agent with his /her own desk and
computer terminal /working area, allowing the agents to
II utilize their time more efficiently.
Investigations conducted in 1991:
During 1991, 105 cases were made, involving 120 different
people. There were 40 search warrants executed resulting
in the seizure of 13 handguns and 22 long guns, and five
' vehicles. Summary Forfeitures have been filed on one
house, and another is under consideration.
The following are dollar amounts of drugs (street value)
that were seized /purchased
Cocaine $ 8065
Marijuana $ 59670
Marijuana Plants $ 32000
LSD $ 44240
Methamphetamine $ 16790
Mushrooms $ 500
Hash Oil $ 100
1 Value of Drugs Purchased /Seized $161,365.00
1
1
1

i 1
The case break down is as follows:
Sale of marijuana 34 1
Possession of marijuana 24
Sale of cocaine 8
Possession of cocaine 7
Sale of LSD 15
Possession of LSD 2
Sale of methamphetamine 1
Possession of methamphetamine 6
Sale of mushrooms 1
Sale of alcohol to minors 6
Possession of stolen property 1
Cases involved the following counties:
Dakota County 5 Scott County 22 1
Carver County 36 Rice County 1
Hennepin County 40 Wright County 1
Cases charged federal 2 • 1
Cases charged state 103 •
The Task Force did not go out of its service area unless
} the subject of the investigation was in some way
furnishing drugs to person /persons in the Task Force
service area. The Task Force has found that
person /persons dealing in drugs do not stay in just one
location, but travel far and wide to other areas to buy or
sell drugs. This is what is referred to as networking. In
making arrest in any of the above cities, there is a
direct effect on the other cities in the Task Force
Service area. The Task Force in fact found it common place
for the person or persons arrested above to be selling and
or buying other than where they were arrested. 1
Significant cases made:
In reviewing the below cases, it will become apparent what 1
networking is and how it works. As already stated, there
may not have been a specific arrest made in a community in
the Task Force service area, but there is a direct effect
on other surrounding communities as a result of the
arrest. People who buy and sell drugs are for the most
part very mobile.
A Minnetrista couple, selling LSD in quantity in the
Minnetrista, St Bonifacious, Mound, and Excelsior areas
were arrested by the Task Force. From this the Task • Force
was able to make a case on the.couple's source which was
charged under a Federal Indictment (five counts). DEA was
1
1
II
asked to assist in this investigation due to the amount of
I inoney that was being spent, and the mid level status of
the source. The source is now facing 12 to 15 years upon
conviction. The agent from the Task Force purchased
approximately 7,000 hits of LSD, spending approximately
I $ 9, 000. This case will have an impact on the amount of
LSD coming into the Task Force service area as well as the
Minneapolis area.
1 The Task Force conducted an investigation on a Prior Lake
resident. At the residence occupied by two brothers, a
II search warrant was executed. As a result over 1/4 pound
of methamphetamine was seized along with several weapons
and approximately $6000. Due to the quantity of
methamphetamine, one brother was charged under Federal
I indictment and the other two under State statute in Scott
County. Forfeiture proceedings were also started on the
residence. The person indicted was a mid level dealer for
people in the Prior Lake, Savage, Shakopee and Jordan
II area. This person had been selling methamphetamine for
the last two years.
•
I The Task Force conducted an investigation on a Watertown
resident. This person was supplying small amounts of
marijuana to a large number of people in the Watertown,
Excelsior,Mound, Minnetrista, St Bonifacious, and Navarre
area. This person was going into Minneapolis to buy
quarter pounds of marijuana and then breaking it down to
II quarter ounces and selling it off. This person had been
supplying marijuana for a long time.
1 The Task Force conducted an investigation of a couple in
Florida sending high grade marijuana through the mail
I (UPS) to a Carver County couple. After the delivery was
received by the couple in Carver County, the marijuana was
to be kept until one of the couple in Florida would fly up _
to Minnesota, take delivery and take it to the Minneapolis
•
II area and sell it. The couple in Florida was using the
money they made to buy land in Minnesota they were going
to move to. The couple in Florida, had a prior narcotics
arrest and conviction.
1 The Task Force conducted an investigation on a Rice County
resident, supposed to be a mid -level dealer of marijuana.
An agent from the Task Force was able to buy a pound of
II marijuana from the source, and that buy was followed up .
with a search warrant. 15.5 pounds of marijuana was
seized and the source arrested. This source was supplying
II large quantities of marijuana to the Scott County and
Northfield area. The Task Force serving the Northfield
area and the Northfield Police Department assisted in the
investigation. .
II
II
11
i . .
II
1
The Task Force cdnducted an investigation on two couples
living in Plymouth, supplying marijuana to people. in the ;
Excelsior, Mound, Orono as well as the Plymouth area. An
agent from the Task Force was able to buy directly from
the two sources which was followed up with two search
warrants. As a result, both couples were arrested and
charged. Both couples advised they would buy quarter II
pounds of marijuana in the cities, then sell it off in
quarter ounces to people. One couple said that they were
selling to subsidize their welfare checks. 1
The Task Force conducted an investigation of a two
teenagers selling LSD and marijuana in the Excelsior,
Chanhassen and Chaska area. These two teenagers one of
II
which was a student and a Minnetonka resident the other
was a resident of Stillwater Minnesota, living on the
streets. The two teenagers had just started up their
II
business in dealing drugs. Their dealing was in the
Excelsior, Chanhassen, and Chaska area due to the demand.
The one student living in Minnetonka was receiving so many
- calls that he rented a pager to eliminate calls coming to
II
his houses. Both students said they were doing it for the
money. One student said he will do it again.'because it
was easy money. The arrest came when the Task Force made
a purchase of 1500 hits of LSD for $1900. Both students
II
were charged in Hennepin County Juvenile court.
All of the above cases are representative of a street 1
al level user /dealer, which the Task Force focuses on. If it
were not for the Task Force working on these types of
people, the majority of them would go undetected and would
II
still operating today, selling and or using drugs.
Total Income for Task Force:
Federal grant - $142,500 _ II
Match money $ 72,400 .
State buy money * $ 15,000
II
Miscellaneous $ 2,559
Restitution $ 2,729
Forfeitures allocated ** $ 14,692
Total $ 249,880 II
*: Approximately $ 1,421 remained in the Buy Fund at the
end of 1991; it was transferred to the Buy Fund for 1992. 1
* *: Required percentages were paid, along with the final
4th quarter salary reimbursement, to the South Lake
Minnetonka Public Safety Department totaling approximately II
$11,960. •

I For your information, I previously checked with the Clerk of

CLAIMANT: Deborah Carpenter -Rand
OUR CLAIM NO: 192843 -63
Dear Mr. Scott:
This correspondence will serve to respond not only to your letter of
February 5, 1992, but also your telephone call to me on February 10, 1992.
Evidently there are two unresolved issues since my correspondence dated
January 29, 1992.
We are in complete agreement with your letter of February 5, 1992, and the six 111
proposals made therein are understood and agreeable in light of our Reservation
of Rights cited in my January 29, 1992, letter. We apply defense costs
incurred by the City against the City's $5,000.00 deductible. Also, we will
not disclaim coverage for indemnification just because the City preferred your
firm carry the defense. Essentially, the only thing that has changed this case
from the norm is that we are not paying for your firm's defense of the case
because of the City's choice and rejection of our offered defense through Joe
Marshall.
Let me know if any other issues remain unresolved. I look forward to your
future reporting with developments regarding this case.
Very truly yours,

Re: TH 101 North Leg Project
City of Chanhassen Project No. 88 -22B
Dear Mr. Crawford:
As we review the elements of the new Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (MEAL we are encouraged by the flexibility and funding possibilities
of this new legislation.
As you are aware, the City of Chanhassen is in the process of completing a staged construction plan for the relocation of TB 101 from downtown Chanhassen,
The South Leg and Highway 5 portions of the staged construction have been started and are planned to be completed in 1992. Our engineering consultant, BRW,
Inc., is currently in the process of preparing plans for the TH 101 North Leg project, which is also currently proposed to be constructed in 1992. The TB 101
' North Leg project is the final stage necessary to allow the realignment of Til 101
To date, the City of Chanhassen has used or had planned to use City funds to complete the South Leg and North Leg porticns of the TB 101 relocation work.
In view of the new ISTEA legislation and flexibility of funding, we would value your opinion as to the possible availability of some of these funds for our current
1 TB 101 North Leg project
Your consideration of this issue would be greatly appreciated. I weld be available to discuss this with you at your convenience.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN

Dear Mr. Lorenz:
RE: Petroleum Storage Tank Release Investigation and Corrective Action
Site: Sinclair Station, 7910 Dakota Avenue, Chanhassen
Site ID #: LEAK00004987
1 The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has received notification that a
release of petroleum has occurred from storage tank facilities which you own
and /or operate.
Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank
releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the extent of the release
and take actions needed to ensure that the release is cleaned up. A person is
' generally considered legally responsible for a tank release if the person owned
or operated the tank either during or after the release.
We are aware that an initial investigation of the site has occurred and
petroleum contaminated soil and /or ground water has been identified. The MPCA
staff is therefore requesting you to take the necessary steps to investigate and
clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA technical documents.
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you hire a qualified
consulting firm who has experience in conducting petroleum release site
investigations and taking corrective actions. The MPCA requires that the site
investigation fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and /or ground
Water contamination caused by the release. We reserve the right to reject
proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have
not been fulfilled. In addition, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours if
you discover free - floating petroleum product on the surface of the ground water.
If you do perform the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major
portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a
fund which in certain circumstances provides partial reimbursement for petroleum
tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Petro Board. More
specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board (612/297 -1119 or
612/297 - 4203).

If you do not respond within 30 days, MPCA staff will assume you do not intend 1
to comply with this request. In this event, the MPCA Commissioner may order you
to take corrective action at the site. If you do not comply with the
Commissioner's order, it may be enforced in court or, alternatively, the MPCA
could spend its own money cleaning up the release and then seek to recover its
costs from you or other responsible persons through legal action. Failure to
cooperate with the MPCA in a timely manner may also result in reduced
reimbursement from the Petro Board.
If you conclude that the release in question is not from any tank which you have
owned or operated, please notify the MPCA immediately and explain the basis of
your conclusion.
A packet of fact sheets is enclosed for your information. 1
For site specific questions, please contact me, the site's project manager, at
612/297 -8589. In addition, all future correspondence should be addressed to me.
If you have any general questions regarding the leaking underground storage tank
program please call 612/297 -8673.
Thank you. 1

Re: Parcel No. 25- 0101520
II Lake Ann Interceptor Assessment
Project No. 87 -35
Dear Mr. Turcotte:
Your recent letter addressed to the City Clerk /Manager concerning
II the Lake Ann Interceptor assessment has been referred to my
attention. I have reviewed the project assessment notification
file to verify that your Parcel No. 25 - 0101520 was on the mailing
list for the hearing notices for the Lake Ann Interceptor Project
II No. 87 -35. Indeed, you were on the list.
As I am sure ,you are aware, an assessment for the Lake Ann
II Interceptor was not initially levied against your property. This
is due to the fact the City Council adopted an assessment roll
specifying that all properties within the defined service area
the Lake Ann Interceptor, with an existing dwelling, would be
II assessed one unit at a rate of $850 per unit. Since your parcel
did not have an existing dwelling, it was not assessed. Should you
apply for a building permit to construct a single - family structure
II on this five -acre parcel, among the building permit charges, you
will be required to pay an $850 charge directly related to the
assessment for the Lake Ann Interceptor project. Should further
II subdivision of your property occur in the future, each lot created
would be charged $850 for the Lake Ann Interceptor assessment.
Your letter stated that you were under the assumption that your
cost would be approximately $2,750. If you are constructing only
II one dwelling on the property, you will only be assessed $850 for
the Lake Ann Interceptor. .
II You had also stated in your letter that you felt the assessment is
unfair and unjust particularly since "...the City of Chanhassen
requires us to install an overly environmentally protective and

• highly expensive septic system which we plan to install in June of
1992 ". Please be aware that the City of Chanhassen's requirements
for the installation of a septic system are based on the guidelines
of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Uniform Building
Code as required by law.
You had also stated that it is your belief that development for
your area is not planned for at least 10 years. Your property is
currently less than - mile from the Lake Ann Interceptor and
considering the amount of development inquiries the City has
recently received for property located in the Lake Ann service
area, it is very likely that sewer availability will happen much
sooner than 10 years. In fact, depending on one particular
development proposal local to your property, trunk sanitary sewer
could be available within the next year or so.
Finally, the City, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission's 1986 Lake Ann Interceptor Project, basically
purchased flow capacity in the interceptor line to serve the Lake
Ann district. Special assessments to properties within the service
district were basically deferred for approximately 5 years since
this area was outside the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA).
However, as of May of 1991 the MUSA boundary was expanded to
include the remaining area within the Lake Ann service district
including your property. Therefore, in the summer of 1991,
assessments were levied as this utility infrastructure is now
available to the service district.
I hope that this letter has adequately addressed and clarified your 1
concerns. Again, 1 would like to emphasize with the construction
of one dwelling on the 5 -acre property, you would be charged $850
related to the Lake Ann Interceptor.
Sincerely, 1

Significant marketing activities to date include:
* Article on HOME Program in Chanhassen Villager
* Article published in City newsletter
* Direct mailing, with a HOME Program insert, sent from the
City to all seniors
* HOME Program video presentation at Chanhassen Senior
Commission meeting
* HOME Program informational flyers distributed in area
including Carver County Municipal offices
* Brochures sent to individuals in Chanhassen in response to
requests /calls made to the HOME Program office
In the first two months three Chanhassen residents have signed up with
Betty for snow removal service (one of the Chore services offered by the
Program) and she has recruited local volunteers to provide that work
when needed. Betty has also been successful in recruiting homemakers
and a skills bank worker from the area. Winter months, as is typical for
' the whole construction /rehabilitation industry, are generally the
slowest for the Program. With the advent of warmer weather, people
will once again become more cognizant of needed home repairs and
chores like lawn mowing.
