Dear Mr. Peterson: 1
As a City official, I am compelled to notify you of your inappropriate driving behavior which I observed on
Wednesday, June 3 at approximately 3:30 p.m. I was traveling northbound on Market Boulevard in a City vehicle
with three other City employee passengers stopped at the West 78th Street intersection. You were stopped
behind me in your Pontiac (Lic. No. 647 GWB). Traffic on West 78th Street was quite heavy at that time
causing some delay in my ability to make a safe crossing through the intersection. You then proceeded to pull
along side of me into the right turnlane. Shortly thereafter, instead of making a right -hand turn, you proceeded
straight into the median area of the intersection stopping for a period of time before being able to cross the
westbound lanes and continuing to proceed north on Market Boulevard. This stunt was illegal and unduly
hazardous. If I were to have pulled out at the same time you had, we would have had two vehicles proceeding
into an intersection for which only one directional lane of traffic was designed. If a motorist, westbound or
eastbound, on West 78th Street were to have attempted to make a left turn at Market Boulevard, your stopped
presence in the median area would have blocked their sight lines of travel and you would have not yielded to
their right-of-way. Engineers, government and elected officials have a very challenging task in providing safe and
efficient transportation facilities for motorists. Your action was inexcusable.
I have forwarded the information from this incident to the Public Safety department for their records. In the
future, I would encourage you to obey traffic laws and use good sense in your operation of a motor vehicle. If
you have no regard for your safety and wellbeing, at least have consideration for others who share the road with
you.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CHANHASSEN

Dear Ann:
You requested that the City of Chanhassen make an attempt to estimate the amount of land
included in the Highway 212 right -of -way west of Lyman Boulevard, up to the Chanhassen
city line. By our calculations, the total right -of -way illustrated on MNDOT's official map
indicates there is approximately 266.3 acres of land located in this area. The price of raw
' land is a highly variable one. I believe it is reasonable to think of a range of prices rather
than settling on a single one. At this point in time, I believe a range from $15,000 to
$25,000 per acre is reasonable. This does not include cost of acquisition of homes or
' businesses or related impacts. To the best of my knowledge, right -of -way acquisition does
involve at least three farmsteads. Based upon the raw land calculations, I therefore believe, it
is reasonable to think that the total acquisition cost could range from $3.99 million to a high
' of $6.66 million.
• I hope that you find this information to be of use. Please feel free to contact me if you have
1 additional questions.

Re: Drainage Problem - PW052ii
Dear Mr. Danielson:
I have received your letter notifying the City of a drainage and erosion problem which is occurring on and
adjacent to your property north of Lotus Lake. This morning I viewed the site with my assistant and street
superintendent. The effects of the problem are clearly visible and it is also apparent that the pre - existing culvert
section has been crushed and is no longer functioning properly. The City will install a new pipe culvert to more
adequately carry the drainage underneath your driveway. The pipe inlet location of the culvert on the west side
of your driveway will be adjusted somewhat to the north to allow for a more straight flow drainage pattern
underneath the driveway. The disturbed section of your gravel driveway will be restored.
Your letter also mentioned the idea of deeding this area in question back to you and your neighbor. If you
would like this to occur, please send a letter with this request to my attention and we will take the issue before
the City Council ,
Street Superintendent, Mike Wegler, will be contacting you in the near future to discuss and coordinate this
project further. If you should have any questions, feel free to contact me at 937 -1900.
Sincerely,

Dear Michael:
1 A few weeks ago, I received a copy of the Metropolitan Council's April 1, 1991, Provisional
Population Estimates for the City of Chanhassen. I have had an opportunity to review our
1 building permit files and believe that based upon this information, the total number of
households added in 1991 is reasonably accurate. I would also state that we agree with the
resulting household and population estimates indicated in your report.
1 I do, however, have two questions to raise with regard to this material. The first is
potentially a minor one. The 1992 census indicates 2.92 people per household in Chanhassen,
1 which I believe is on the high side of what is found in other communities in the Twin Cities.
This is fully reasonable based upon our primary reliance upon single family housing and the
nature of the families that reside in our community. I note that the 1991 projection decreases
this to 2.91 people per household. Obviously a decrease of 1 /100th of a household is not
terribly significant in and of itself. However, it causes me to raise a question as to whether
1 or not you believe that there will be a continuing trend towards decreasing household size. If
this is the case, I would like to understand your rationale behind it because I suspect that in a
community like ours, for at least the balance of the forecasting period currently under study
1 by the Metropolitan Council, that the average number of persons per household should not
appreciably decline. Chanhassen is far from reaching the stage of development occurring in
communities such as Richfield, Robbinsdale, and others that are experiencing decreases in
1 household size due to aging in place.
My second concern is potentially more troubling. On the information you presented, you
1 indicated that the 1991 population and household estimate is "essential to the estimation
process for the entire decade." Reliance on 1991 data raises two red flags. The first is that
the nation was in a recession during this time frame that had a particularly large impact upon
1
ot PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
Mr. Michael Munson
June 5, 1992
1
Page 2
housing development. The second is that, in the case of Chanhassen, our community
g P h' was
affected to an even greater extent by the lack of available lots and land for development due
to constraints imposed by the MUSA line. As you are well aware, Chanhassen has been able
to rectify this second concern through a large addition to the MUSA line. We are already
seeing substantial activity in this new area having approved subdivisions containing over 200
lots in the last two months alone.
My purpose in writing you is not to seek your agreement to use housing forecasts based upon
peak construction years or even to ask you to deviate from your reasonably placed reliance
upon regional and national demographic trends. I simply want to ensure that when the actual
ten year forecasts are made, that a correction of some sort is made for the 1991 recession, and
that in the case of Chanhassen in particular, the fact that 1990 through 1991 are not
representative years due to the lack of available land.
I would be happy to discuss this matter further with you and your staff should you so desire. 1
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,

TO: Local Government Key Contacts
The Metropolitan Council staff has prepared preliminary April 1, 1991, population and household
estimate for your community. The pi eliiiii& aiy estmmaica, together with a fau sheet containing
1 the data used to prepare your community's estimate, are enclosed.
These estimates are used by the Council to monitor population and household change in the
' Metropolitan Area communities and by the State Department of Revenue in their calculations of
local government aids. If you have questions about the Local aid formulas please address them to
Rich Gardner, Minnesota Department of Revenue, 296 -3315.
1 The 1991 estimates are built on housing information from the 1990 Census. Because an accurate
1990 base is essential to our estimation process for this entire decade, we need your assistance in
verifying the Census data shown on your fact sheet. We are interested in correcting any problems
you are able to identify. We are particularly concerned about the accuracy of the count of mobile
homes (manufactured housing) in areas outside of mobile home parks.
1 The Council would like to hear your comments or concerns before finalizing the estimates for the
State Department of Revenue at the end of June. To do this, we need your comments as soon as
possible. Please contact Kathy Johnson (291-6332) or Michael Munson (291 -6331) with
1 comments. Written remarks may also be directed to Ms. Johnson.
The population and household estimates are of great importance to the communities, as well as to
' the Council in its planning work. We want to provide estimates that are not only accurate, but
th treat each municipality fairly and consistently. 11 you have any questions or concerns, please
do not hesitate to call. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

' Dear Mr. Ashworth:
Thank you for your interest in the implementation of the federal Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act in Minnesota. The Northstar Workshop, held on May 27 and
28, was a first step in providing information about the Act, identifying diverse opportunities
and challenges offered in the Act, building partnerships and receiving input into the
' implementation processes. Feedback strongly indicates that the Workshop met the objectives,
yet considerably more work remains.
' During the Workshop the need for more communication and explanation of the Act repeatedly
emerged as essential for successful implementation. We are eager to share the information
and dialogue obtained at the Workshop by preparing an executive summary report.
' Moreover, a brief video tape highlighting the many aspects of the workshop is being
prepared. Raw video footage and the working papers generated in the small discussion
groups are available in Mn/DOT's Library, Room B -23, 296 -2385. The report and video tape
will be available in early July. You will receive the summary report in the mail, and all
attendees will also receive the video tape.
The challenges and opportunities for change presented by the new federal Act are seemingly
boundless. I encourage you to access and utilize the educational Workshop materials we are
' preparing. We will periodically send you additional information as implementation advances.
There will be other opportunities for direct involvement. The Department looks forward to
our continued partnership.
Once again, thank you for your interest and a special thank you to the Workshop participants.

membership is most valuable. Membership in NLC gives all of your
community's elected and top appointed officials the opportunity
to tap the experience and ability of municipal leaders
nationwide, to get the information and answers necessary for
sound decisions, and to become active in shaping policies that
will determine the success of our communities into the future.
NLC is the oldest, largest and most representative organization
serving local governments. As your voice in the nation's
capital, we need your continued support to insure the passage of
national legislation and the adoption of federal policies
favorable to local governments.
We look forward to your continued support and the opportunity to '
serve you in the months and years ahead.

SUBJ: Building Inspection Workshop
' As a result of the overall survey we conducted regarding building
Y g g g
inspection services over 'the last year, the Building Inspection
' Division hosted an educational seminar for mechanical contractors
that do work in Chanhassen. One of the issues that resulted from
the general survey was that the codes set forth by the State are so
' complex, and change so often, that it is difficult for those
working in the field to keep up on them. Therefore, a half day
seminar was offered, involving all of our building inspectors.
1 Thirty -five contractors attended, and as you can see from the
attached memo from Steve Kirchman, they were pleased with the
results.

Re: Request for Proposals 1
Dear Mr. Hoisington:
111
The City of Chanhassen is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to undertake a
Senior Housing Feasibility Study. Funded by a combination of Community Development
Block Grant and City Housing and Redevelopment Authority funds, the study will be utilized
to evaluate the feasibility of developing this housing over the next 3 -5 years. At this point,
it appears likely that if a housing project is to be developed, it would be under the auspices of
the HRA and/or City Council and located within one of our development districts.
The study project will be initiated by August and should be completed within 6 months
although the time frame will be subject to modification based upon the proposals we receive.
The selected firm will work directly with city staff and the Chanhassen Senior Commission to
complete the analysis. Ratification of study results will be by the Senior Commission, HRA,
and City Council.
The selection process will be handled by staff, with ultimate contract ratification by the 1
Commission and City Council.
The study should respond to the following issues: 1

Re: Request for Proposals
Dear Mr. Maxfield:
The City of Chanhassen is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to undertake a
Senior Housing Feasibility Study. Funded by a combination of Community Development
Block Grant and City Housing and Redevelopment Authority funds, the study will be utilized
to evaluate the feasibility of developing this housing over the next 3 -5 years. At this point,
it appears likely that if a housing project is to be developed, it would be under the auspices of
the HRA and/or City Council and located within one of our development districts.
The study project will be initiated by August and should be completed within 6 months
although the time frame will be subject to modification based upon the proposals we receive.
The selected firm will work directly with city staff and the Chanhassen Senior Commission to
complete the analysis. Ratification of study results will be by the Senior Commission, HRA,
and City Council. 1
The selection process will be handled by staff, with ultimate contract ratification by the
Commission and City Council. 1
The study should respond to the following issues:
Phase I • 1
Determine the size and nature of the existing/project market for senior housing in 1
Chanhassen. Due to geographic and demographic factors, the study area should

Dear Bill:
As you are aware, Chanhassen is working diligently with your staff, as well as representatives 1
from Barton Aschman, on aspects of final design for the upgrading of Hwy. 5 between
Powers Boulevard and Hwy. 41. On several occasions we have raised concerns that traffic
projections utilized in the original MNDOT analysis were outdated and could result in the
inclusion of inadequate design elements into the road construction. I have been told that the
proper procedure is to formally request through your office that new forecasting data be
developed and utilized and therefore, I am doing so by sending you this letter.
To the best of our knowledge, the original MNDOT design was based upon traffic projections
developed through the Metropolitan Council's Regional Model. These have been found to be
seriously flawed for several reasons, the primary reason being that the Metropolitan Council
significantly under - projected the amount of growth that would be occurring in the southwest
corridor. Evidence of this under -count is found by the fact that the Metropolitan Council
modified their projections in a limited extent to provide input into the Hwy. 212
Environmental Impact Study. We also note that until last year, the Metropolitan Council was
forecasting a population of 10,000, with 4,500 jobs for Chanhassen for the year 2000. The
U. S. Census supported the city's contention that these projections were significantly
exceeded in 1990. Further evidence is found in the Eastern Carver County Transportation
Study. This study was a cooperative effort between Carver County and a number of Carver
County communities, including Chanhassen, to develop a better idea as to what would be
occurring in this area and how should we best plan for it. Projections contained in this study 1
are considerably higher than other studies done to date. While we have not yet seen data that
is currently being developed by the Metropolitan Council based upon new forecast
information, we believe that if it accurately reflects what has occurred in the 1980s and what
is likely to occur in the next 20 years, it will be significantly different from earlier traffic
projections that have been made.

of your May 7, 1992, letter to the City Attorney. Staff has made a recommendation to the 1
City Council, which was for a considerably smaller building than you had proposed. As you
are aware, the City Council agreed with staff's recommendation. I have spoken with the City
Attorney and given him your position of being unwilling to accept the City Council's decision
on this matter. Based upon your position, we have no recourse but to refer this back to the
court for resolution. I have been informed that the City Attorney has been in contact with
your attorney and I expect that we will have further contact within the near future. 1

This is a follow up to my letter of June 5, 1992, to inform you that it is imperative that the work
you are to perform under contract with the city be completed by June 30, 1992. As I am sure
you can understand, and as you have observed, Lake Ann Park is very busy throughout the
summer months. I would have preferred a completion date of June 1, 1992, but with the passing
of that date, all work must now be completed by June 30, 1992. On July 3 and 4, 1992, the city
will host its annual Fourth of July Celebration at Lake Ann Park, attracting 3,000 - 4,000
residents and visitors. This is a very important event for our community. Failure to complete
all work by June 30, 1992, including final restoration, and a complete and detailed cleaning of
construction areas and affected parking lots, will not be tolerated.
If you have any questions in this regard, I can be reached Monday through Friday between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 937 -1900, and after hours and on weekends at 443 -2846.

PROPOSAL FOR UTILIZING SENIORS AS VOLUNTEER II
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS
This proposal is in response to Mayor Chmiel's commitment to I
utilize seniors in assisting with providing public safety services
to the City of Chanhassen. In particular, there has been a
suggestion that seniors be used as volunteer Community Service
Officers. Therefore, this proposal is to respond to that
recommendation.
Many public safety agencies utilize volunteers, and this approach II
has been discussed on occasion here as well. By utilizing
volunteers, while in a very limited capacity, exposure to the
community by identifiable personnel has increased certain coverage
I
in other cities.
By putting a trained, uniformed volunteer in a marked vehicle, we
I
could expand our visibility, particularly in city parks.
Rather than outfitting a volunteer in the expensive uniforms, with
I
the equipment that we provide our Community Service Officers, I
believe a windbreaker with identification on it would be a very
effective, less costly alternative. A radio could be available as
well. I would recommend that a portable cellular telephone be
I
purchased because of the expectation that situations would arise
that they would need to consult with a Chanhassen Public Safety
Officer or a Carver County Deputy, much more than a full -time
II
employee might. This expense would be approximately $400.00 plus
a relatively small air time fee.
Volunteer CSOs would report to the Public Safety Director; however, 1
every attempt would be made to schedule them when an experienced
CSO would be on duty to provide assistance. As a volunteer would
become more experienced and self confident, they would have the
I
option of scheduling a time when they would be more on their own.
Of course, they would never be on duty without the available
assistance from a deputy.
II
Training would be made up of 20 hours riding with a Community
Service Officer to cover such issues as radio protocol, what they
can and can't do, what to do in an emergency, etc.
II
Given the volunteers, I believe this program would justify an
attempt this year.

PRESS RELEASE
1 PROPOSAL FOR UTILIZING SENIORS AS VOLUNTEER
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS
' In response to Mayor Chmiel's commitment to utilize seniors to
assist with providing public safety services to the City of
Chanhassen, the Chanhassen Public Safety Department, in cooperation
with the Chanhassen Park & Recreation Department, has proposed to
utilize seniors to act as volunteer Community Service Officers.
1 Seniors wishing to participate in this new program will have the
opportunity to assist the Public Safety Department by patrolling
city parks in a marked vehicle, in order to provide routine
assistance or summon help as needed. It is our intention to
increase visibility in our parks by providing additional visibility
through the use of seniors. Training will include use of
communications equipment, providing routine assistance, and
' cooperating with the Carver County Sheriff's Department and
Chanhassen Public Safety staff in making the Chanhassen parks a
fun, safe place to be.
1 Interested people should contact Public Safety Director Scott Harr
at Chanhassen City Hall, 937 -1900, ext. 3.

RE: Volunteer Senior CSO Program
Dear Sheriff, 1
This letter is to briefly summarize a program that Mayor Chmiel has
asked be implemented. This program is utilizing seniors as II
volunteer Community Service Officers, to add visibility in the
parks in Chanhassen.
Volunteers would be provided with training and some sort of 1
identifying apparel (either a T- shirt, wind breaker, etc.). My
present intention is to provide them with a portable cellular phone
to use rather than utilizing the radio. Because this program is
I
developing rather rapidly, I am certainly open to suggestions.
If you have any thoughts, concerns, or ideas, please let me know. II
I will keep you apprised of the developments of this program.
Sincerely,

1 SUBJ: Illegal Building Occupancy at former Sunny Acres Produce Stand
g g P Y Y
n the P
In March, t e Crty Public Safety staff received an inquiry about the potential construction of
' an agricultural building at 850 Flying Cloud Drive. Skip Cook, owner, stated that the purpose
of the building was to support agricultural uses and inquired as to whether or not a building
permit was necessary. State law exempts agricultural buildings from building permit
' requirements and he was informed that, based on this, no further action from the city would
be required. However, in a joint letter generated by Public Safety and Planning staff, he was
informed that this exemption only applies to building permits for agricultural purposes. Other
' uses were not covered by this exemption and in fact would likely be considered inconsistent
with the zoning of the area (letter attached).
' Public Safety staff later received a complaint regarding trucks delivering barrels of material at
night to this site. The Carver County Environmental Services Department was asked to
investigate. They found that Mr. Cook was operating or leasing his building to an operation,
' that was in the business of crushing used oil filters as a part of a recycling operation, out of
this supposed agricultural building. Application was made to Carver County for a hazardous
waste material handling license.
1 Staff has been in contact with Mr. Cook stating that this operation is in violation of both the
zoning ordinance and city building code. Essentially, he is operating a manufacturing use out
of an agricultural district, which is a direct violation of city ordinance. We believe he also
constructed the building under false pretenses and note that there are numerous violations of
building codes, which should be enforced if an industrial operation or hazardous materials are
to be allowed. Several of these violations deal with occupant safety and with protecting the
environment from hazardous materials.
Mr. Cook has been in contact with city staff on numerous occasions inquiring as to ways in
which staff could more leniently interpret codes to his benefit. We have consistently stated
1
�� PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
Don Ashworth 1
June 17, 1992
Page 2 1
that we are not in a position to do so, nor would we desire to do so, given the circumstances
involving this operation. We indicated that he would be able to appear before the City
Council to address the matter directly, but that we were going to enforce the codes as adopted
by the city. We believed that Mr. Cook was going to address the City Council at the last I
meeting, but he did not attend.
Staff has asked the City Attorney to get involved to file a formal complaint to have this I
matter rectified. We believe, that in view of Mr. Cook's blatant disregard of ordinances, that
there was no other recourse. The original court arraignment was set for last week. Mr. Cook
apparently asked for and received a continuance based upon his representations that he was I
attempting to work out a compromise with the city. A new court date has been set for July
20. Staff will keep the City Council informed as to continuing events pertaining to this
matter.

Re: Permits at 850 Flying Cloud Dr.
r Dear Mr. Cook:
' The purpose of this letter is to record the results of our
telephone conversations on 3/18/92.
' You inquired as to whether or not you needed a building
permit to build a pole barn on your property. Agricultural
buildings do not require building permits. To qualify for
this exemption the building must meet two criteria: 1. It
' must be on agricultural land, and 2. It must be designed,
constructed and used to house farm implements, livestock or
agricultural produce.
r You stated your property is in excess of ten acres, that you
farm the property, and that the building will be used for the
' purposes stated above. Based on this a building permit is
not required.
I asked the Planning Department if the proposed pole barn
' will meet City zoning ordinances. Their opinion is:
This property is zoned A -2, Agricultural Estate District.
' The use currently on the property, Sunny Acres, is
considered a legal nonconforming use. Because of this
status the use cannot be expanded without approval of the
' Board of Adjustments.
Staff has made the interpretation that your request for a
pole barn has been made for the agricultural use defined
I above; therefore a pole barn under the agricultural use
would be permitted without the approval of the Board of
Adjustment. If it is determined that the use is not for
' agricultural purposes you will be in violation of City
zoning ordinances.

On Wednesday, June 10, 1992, I received a call from Cindy Hilgers at WCCO Channel 4
Television. Ms. Hilgers called to express her interest in airing the story of illegal tree cutting
at Carver Beach Park in WCCO's Community News series. Upon honoring her request, we
' arranged for a WCCO crew to be on site on Thursday, June 11, at 1:00 p.m. Paula Engelking,
a field producer, and a camera crew produced the story on site with reporter Bill Hudson. They
' were at the park shooting footage and interviewing neighbors for approximately 2 hours. The
story was then edited and aired on the 5:00 p.m. news that evening. The Carver County Sheriff's
Department continues to follow leads in this regard.

mostly maples, had been c -t t du'::1 on
Carver Beach Park land. The trees

DearTodd:
I At your request I have completed an inventory of trees cut on city property P city P Pe Y across
from the residence at 6780 Lotus Trail. The list that follows describes in detail my
I findings. Trees listed as "current" appear to have been removed during the current
growing season. Trees listed as "old" were cut in prior years. Sizes listed are the diameter
I of the tree at the point where it was cut, generally4 to 6 inches above the ground. Please
note that additional trees may have been cut in the past but decay and overgrowth of brush
make determination of this less certain.

In addition to the trees listed above, an Ash tree of 3 n diameter and a Willow tree
were damaged by the tall of the 8" maple listed above.
Replacement of cut trees will be difficult at best given the slope of and access to the
site. It would be next to impossible to plant trees larger than 2 1/2" diameter. I would
suggest an approach commonly used to mitigate trees lost or removed during construction.
The trees cut could be replaced by a number of 2 1/2" diameter trees, the sum of whose
diameter would equal or exceed that of the cut trees. In this case, 51" of tree diameter were
cut and could be replaced by 21 trees each having a diameter of 2 1/2 ". You could figure on 1
a replacement cost of approximately $ 400 each for trees of this size for the varieties listed.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter.

SUBJ: Agreement with Park Road Day Training Rehabilitation Center
As ou may be aware, the city has been working with the Park Road Center providing a seasonal
Y Y tY g P g
park maintenance position for James Gordien. Jim has been dragging the ballfield infields and
i policing trash at Lake Ann Park for the past month. Jim is employed and compensated by Park
Road for his work under this agreement. Jim and other clients of Park Road happen to have
' physical or mental impairments. In response to the positive nature of Jim's work arrangement,
Park Road inquired as to the availability of work to employ a crew of six clients for
approximately six weeks. In responding to this request, I developed a park clean-up project
' which will result in every city park being cleaned up. The crew will also police for broken glass,
pick rocks and pull weeds in the city's newly established parks and playing field areas. I
requested that Park Road develop a contract in this regard, allowing an understanding of
' agreements made to be documented. The attached contract is the result of this request. Total
liability for the city under this contract is $900.00 or $150.00 per week. Fund 145 -4020,
Recreation Programs, Salaries and Wages, Temporary, can absorb this cost.
It is staff's recommendation that the city enter into this agreement with Park Road. The six
member crew will be accompanied by two program staff on a daily basis, and will work three
' hours per day, five days per week over the six week contract.
