Nomination for Board, Assoc of Metro Municipalities i1 1k BULLETIN _ as ociation of me�ro olitan municipalities I April 10, 1990 ' TO: Mayors and Managers FROM: Walter Fehst, President RE: NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS STILL NEEDED 1. NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS: ' You should have received a bulletin from me about three weeks ago requesting nominations for the AMM Board of Directors. ' Several of you responded and for that we are appreciative. However, the AMM Nominating Committee had its first meeting on April 9th. and determined that in order to provide better geographical representation on the Board, more nominations would be desirable. Additional nominations will be accepted from all areas but there is a specific need for nominees from cities in Anoka, Dakota, Carver and suburban Ramsey Counties. PLEASE FORWARD THE NOMINATIONS INCLUDING A BRIEF RESUME TO VERN PETERSON IN THE AMM OFFICE BY APRIL 20TH. BOARD DUTIES: ' As a reminder, the Board normally meets the first Thursday evening of each month and its main responsibilities are to ' adopt the yearly budget, determine the annual membership dues amount, approve legislative policy priorities and develop a yearly work program. However, Board members, if willing, are ' often assigned additional responsibilities such as chairing a Policy Committee, being a member of the Executive Committee, etc. I r 183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-4008 I i 1 2.

Following up on last years meetings 1 regarding this issue, I met today with Kevin Kretsch, president of this company that controls weeds. Mr. Kretsch has been exceptionally helpful in the past in evaluating samples, inspecting lakes, and assisting us in developing our aware- 1 ness of this situation. The system now in place to deal with suspected eurasian water milfoil is as 1 follows: 1) Weed samples will be sent to Lake Restoration for a free inspection; 1 2) If the sample is confirmed to be eurasian water milfoil, Lake Restoration will conduct an inspection of the site. If they have crews working in the area, this inspection will be free of charge; if not, there will be a 1 charge for it; 3) Once a location of milfoil is confirmed, Lake Restoration will coor- dinate the permit process with ONR and take 'immediate steps to eradicate using the most appropiate method; 4) Education to the community will occur thru the local newspapers, as 1 well as training be provided to Chanhassen Park personnel. I believe the above procedural guidelines Will put us in a good position to deal IIwith suspected milfoil. Please let me know if you have any questions. cc: Don C�mie1, Mayor 1 Don Ashworth, City Manager Steve Decatur 1 1 Al--- ---1 I CITYOF cc, I \ ., ., Jr: ClIANBASSEN , . „ __ ,. 1 „0 .„ . _. 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

The yellow half circles are a symbol of the New Horizon Day Care Center and I are considered to be signage (see attached definition) . In addition, the BN District only permits one wall sign per street frontage. The New Horizon Day Care Center has only one street I frontage and has four half circles; two of which are lit by flood lights and two which are backlit. You proposed to light the half circles last fall and at that time Istaff stated that the signs were not approved as part of the site plan and conditional use permit and that the ordinance would not permit them. I further requested that you submit a letter stating I exactly what you were proposing so that 1 could formally address the issue. Staff never received such a letter. IThe building contains :four half circles; _two .are yellow painted wood lattices lit by floodlights and located on the south and east side of the center and the remaining two are backlit located on the north and west side of the center. The _City has received I complaints on the signs that -are lit by flood lights. The Zoning Ordinance prohibits lighting which is visible off the site from which it originates. All lighting must be downcast and shielded. Cindy Geisen of New Horizon Day tare stated that the half circles must be lit to provide safety and protection. She stated the lit I half circles were used in lieu of parking lot lights which can be more offensive to neighbors. The City agrees that the site should be safe for employees there at night or early morning but upon IIinspection at night cannot see how the lit half circles provide any II ' Mr. Randy Pedersen April 9, 1990 Page 2 protection. The light is reflected straight out and does nothing to light the parking lot and entrances. ' In summary, the half circles cannot be lit and must be turned off immediately. If you wish to submit an application to amend the ' site plan and for a variance to the Sign Ordinance, please contact me. You should be forewarned that staff will oppose your request since there is no hardship to support the variance and since there have been complaints. Until such an application is made and ' approved the roof lighting must be turned off. If the half circle lighting is not turned off by Friday, April 13, 1990, the City will refer the case to the City Attorney's Office. ' Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

ACTION ALERT: CITIES SHOULD OPPOSE SENATE AID CUTS y/2/1 ' 404 m_ve a. c:‘....p of n,i•Lc. A/a,/�..-. 112#f- This ACTION ALERT is a warning that there is still a threat that the deep aid cuts contained in the Senate tax bill may be adopted by the tax conference committee currently meeting to develop a compromise. It is imperative that you personally contact your legislator. Each Senator needs to understand the damage which will be caused by the harsh cuts in the Senate tax bill. Each Representative needs to understand that 1 cities can deal with the cuts in the House tax bill, but that they should not compromise with the Senate proposal. Even if your legislators are not members of the conference committee,your legislators can pressure the ten House and Senate conferees to resist the large,permanent Senate cuts. The attached printout compares the 1990 aid cuts proposed by the House tax bill compared pared to the cuts proposed by the Senate tax bill. ' The Senate plan has very deep,punitive cuts in aid to cities for both 1990 and 1991. The Senate plan will cut cities,spending authority--not just state aids. Under the Senate bill,levy limits for cities over 2,500 will be permanently reduced by the combined amount of the 1990 and 1991 cuts(the addition of columns #2 and #3 on the printout) to prevent cities from levying to recover the lost state aids. ' Considering the size of the Senate cuts,it is unlikely that cities under 2,500 will be able to levy to replace all of the lost revenue. ' Furthermore,the Senate's aid cuts are ill-conceived. Under the Senate plan those cities that are eligible for large WA increases under the current law for the Pay 1991 formula will end up with the largest cuts in their levy bases. The Iegislature is considering dealing with the state budget shortfall mainly by slashing state aid to cities which receive only 18 percent of all state property tax aids and credits. APR 121993 CITY OF CHANHASSEN 1 1 Page 2 Action Alert 1 ' Action is needed in the following ways -- ■ • Contact your legislators by letter Inform your legislators about what city services and jobs will have to be cut as a result of the proposed aid ' and spending cuts. Be as specific as possible! Urge your legislators to use a portion of the state's $550 million rainy day reserve fund to avoid such damaging cuts. Also send copies of this letter to: ' Governor Rudy Perpich Senator Roger Moe, Senate Majority Leader Senator Doug Johnson, chair of the Senate Tax Committee ' Representative Bob Vanasek, Speaker of the House Representative Paul Ogren, chair of the House Tax Committee ' These decision-makers need to hear from cities of all sizes and all areas of the state about the impacts of the Senate proposal. 1 Legislators addresses and phone numbers are in the back of the LMC directory of city officials,or call the Capitol operator at(612) 296-6013. ' • Contact your legislators during the easter weekend Most legislators will be in their district during the Easter weekend(April 13-15). This will probably be the last opportunity for city officials to personally discuss the damage that large cuts to city aid and levy authority could cause to city services and personnel. ' • Contact your local press ' Inform your local press of the magnitude of the proposed Senate cuts. Identify budget cuts that the city would have to make if these cuts were accepted by the legislature. Note:Cities with populations over 2,500 which have"0"aid cuts shown in the print-out will still have their levy limit bases cut by 0.6 percent(House bill) or 2.11 percent(Senate bill). Some cities would also lose municipal state highway aid under the Senate bill.

Minn. Stat. Sec. 462.357 provides: ' Subd. 7. Permitted single family use. A state licensed residential facility serving six or fewer persons or a ' licensed day care facility serving twelve or fewer persons shall be considered a permitted single family residential use of property for the purposes of zoning. Subd. 8. Permitted multifamily use. Unless otherwise provided in any town, municipal or county zoning regulation as authorized by this subdivision, a state licensed ' residential facility serving seven through sixteen persons or a licensed day care facility serving thirteen through sixteen persons shall be considered a permitted multifamily residential use of property for purposes of zoning. A township, municipal or county zoning authority may require a conditional use or special use permit in order to assure proper maintenance and operation of a facility, provided ' that no conditions shall be imposed on the facility which are more restrictive than those imposed on other conditional uses or special uses of residential property in the same zones, unless the additional conditions are necessary to protect the health and safety of the residents of the residential facility. Nothing herein shall be construed to exclude or prohibit residential or day care facilities from single family zones if otherwise permitted by a local zoning regulation. Yankee Square Office III • Suite 202 • 3460 Washington Drive • Eagan, MN 55122 1 Mr. Don Ashworth April 5, 1990 Page Two This law means that a state licensed day care facility for y y twelve or fewer kids may be located in any single family district.

The City is proposing to purchase a total of 9500 ' recycling bins to provide two bins per household. Therefore, the most the City would have is 100 extra recycling bins which will be used for replacements and for additional new ' residences. We felt it better to purchase the bins at one time for one price rather than buy more bins each year at a higher cost. ' 2. Our goal is to increase participation to at least 50%. The Chanhassen Recycling Committee is actively pursuing an intense educational program which will hopefully increase ' participation beyond 50% and ultimately to 100% participation. A comment was made by the first review team that the City should only provide containers to those who participate and that we were asking to provide over 50% more bins than is ' necessary. The City goal is to provide the opportunity to recycle to all residences. We believe that having a sufficient supply of bins to supply each household with two ' bins to facilitate sorting, is essential to meet this goal. 3. The City does not have an alternate means of funding. Carver ' County has not designated money for Chanhassen in 1990 and they do not think that they will have funding for Chanhassen. Financially, the City has solely supported the recycling program. ' 4. It has been proven that recycling bins will increase participation of the recycling program which is the goal of the City, County and Metropolitan Council. The majority of comments from Chanhassen residents about the previous recycling program were on the need for recycling bins. ' Funding for recycling bins is a legitimate proposal and an important aspect of our recycling program. We appreciate the opportunity to address some of the comments on ' our grant proposal and would welcome the chance to answer any other questions.

The proposal received a low score at the Review Team session, but I would urge 1 to you reconsider this proposal. As you are aware, the Capital Assistance Grant program was 1 established to provide eligible applicants with the funding necessary to purchase equipment for waste abatement activities. Carver County has encouraged communities to apply for these grants with respect to the purchase of recycling bins for their curbside 1 pick-up programs. We have done so for two reasons. First, we feel that the purchase of bins is an integral component of an effective curbside program. Bins have been shown to increase participation 1 rates and provide a positive sort of "peer pressure" among residents. Second, Carver County does not have as large a funding base as do some other Metro counties. Without a landfill or 1 resource recovery facility from which to collect surcharges, we are unable at this time to generate the funding necessary to provide for large capital expenditures such as bins. 1 We feel that recycling bins are a legitimate request item in the Capital Assistance program. I ask you once again to reconsider the City of Chanhassen's proposal. If you should require further 1 information from Carver County, please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The study will investigate the levels of I/I in both metropolitan ' interceptors and municipal sanitary sewer systems. The study will also evaluate the impact of these flows and determine what incentives and disincentives may be considered to reduce these ' flows. The I/I study is being conducted in accordance with policy contained in the Metropolitan Council Water Resources Management ' Part 1, Wastewater Treatment and Handling Policy Plan. The policy requires the Commission to: ' 1) Conduct thorough investigations that document I/I levels by community, and relates the findings to overall ' metropolitan system costs; 2) Investigate the feasibility of establishing a program of incentives and disincentives to assist local government ' in reducing I/I; 3) Approve local comprehensive sewer plans only for ' communities that have acceptable I/I abatement programs in their comprehensive plans, and 4) Identify and reduce excessive I/I occurrence in ' metropolitan interceptors as part of an increased inspection and maintenance program. ' The Commission has authorized the consulting firm of CH2M HILL to begin work on the systemwide I/I evaluation. The first phase will ' concentrate on reviewing available information and soliciting community input in refining the objectives and technical methodologies to be employed. In the next few months informational meetings will be held. Key city staff and elected officials will ' be invited to attend. A report on the first phase of the study will be distributed for comment in the latter part of this summer. Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer AD00 Your participation in this study is important. In the coming months we will ask your cooperation in providing information on the past, current and future activities related to I/I in your ' community. This will assist in geographically categorizing the levels of I/I and its impact on the Metropolitan Disposal System. This will also provide a good opportunity for the communities to assemble the I/I program documentation required in the current upgrading of Comprehensive Sewer Plans. ' If you have any questions or would like further information on the systemwide I/I evaluation please feel free to call Mr. Ray Odde (229-2114) , or Mr. Wayne Rikala (229-2127) of our staff.

The eastern end of this area is one of the fastest growing in the state, despite inadequate highways. See Attachment 1 (Map) . History of New 212 Efforts ' Construction of a new US 212 has been a goal of state and local officials since 1953 or before. A summary of mileposts in this 37 year effort is attached as Attachment 2. Additional historical and supportive information is contained in Attachment ' 3, provided by MNDOT. Local Effort ' Our organization has facilitated the widening of T.H. 5 from I-494 to Park Drive in Chanhassen. The Cities of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, and Chaska and the Counties of Hennepin and Carver together contributed $254,000 to the design of these improvements. II II The Coalition considers the construction of a new U.S. 212 from U I-494 to Norwood to be of much greater importance. The same cities and counties together contributed $150,000 to the funding of the Environmental Impact Statement for this proposed project. IThat EIS is near completion. A joint resolution of support for new US 212 was adopted by the I Cities of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska in 1983. See Attachment 2. Importance of New 212 II The coalition considers construction of a new U.S. 212 to be essential for the following reasons: Il. Need for a four-lane farm-to-market connection from rural Minnesota to the Twin Cities. Mn DOT has long recognized the importance of US 212 as a major market I artery. Southwestern Minnesota is the only region of the state which is not connected to Twin Cities markets by a 4 lane highway. There currently is no four-lane farm-to-market road between the I-94 link from the Twin I Cities to St. Cloud (northwest from the Twin Cities) to U.S. 169 (four-lane, but not limited access) southwest from Shakopee to Mankato. As a result, all western I Minnesota lying between these two routes is currently without a four-lane road to serve this function. There is very high support for the construction of new US 212 II throughout the 212 corridor from Minneapolis to the South Dakota border. Existing 212 is a 2 lane roadway with uncontrolled access from Eden Prairie to South Dakota. From Young America to Eden Prairie, TH 5 is an I alternative route, but it also is a 2 lane route with uncontrolled access. I 2. Traffic Congestion, Safety, Access. T.H. 5 is very heavily burdened due to the inadequate condition of existing U.S. 212. Attachment 3 contains existing I traffic counts and forecasts for 2010 (also see Attachment 3, Summary of Fundings from Barton - Aschman Report) . Rapid industrial and housing development in the Cities of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, and Chaska is I continuing to increase demands upon T.H. 5. T.H. 5 will never provide .the limited access through movement which is assured by a four-lane route like I-494, or I even U.S. 169. Improvements in safety, capacity, and access, among others, all dictate the need for construction of a larger, four-lane, limited access I roadway. MNDOT has stated: Traffic studies suggest that this project would have a decidedly beneficial impact on Southwest Metro I Area traffic: safety would improve - 50 percent less accidents; and local and regional accessibility would greatly I II improve - travel times would drop. I Furthermore, not building -would eventually result in substantial increases in traffic volumes on local I streets and highways and a noticable deterioration in road serviceability. (MNDOT newsletter "Southwest," Nov. , 1989, p. 2. Attachment 7.) I3. Subsequent staves critical. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has committed to construction of a I new U.S. 212 from I-494 to Hennepin County CSAH 4 in Eden Prairie (Segment 1) , to be let January, 1993 (Stage One) and 1994 (Stage Two) . and from CSAH 4 to I Lyman Boulevard in Chanhassen, Carver County (Segment 2, Stage 1) , to be let in 1995. (See Attachments 2, 3 and 4) . However, subsequent stages of the project (from Lyman Boulevard to in-place 212 West of Chaska) I need to be designed in order to accelerate state funding of construction of those subsequent stages. It is absolutely crucial that there be no extended period I during which there is promotion of use of Segments 1 and 2 without having a four-lane link through Chaska. This link would be provided by completion of Segment 3. There is already a stretch of four-lane from Norwood to I Cologne. T.H. 41, existing US 212 and other local roads through the Chaska area are currently heavily burdened. Those existing local roads could not II accommodate the kinds of flows which are likely to be developed on new U.S. 212 following completion of Segment 1 and 2, without Segment 3. Segment 3 must be II constructed as soon as possible following Segments 1 and 2, so as to prevent an oppressive burden on local roads. The current status of MNDOT design work on presently scheduled Segments 1 and 2 is shown on IAttachments 1 and 6. Need for Demonstration Grant II We urge Congress to fund a demonstration grant in the amount of $12,000,000 to facilitate the early design and construction of Segments 2 and 3. This is necessary to ensure the earliest II possible construction of a continuous new, four-lane, limited access U.S. 212 from I-494 to in-place 212 West of Chaska. The current Minnesota budget deficit threatens all current highway projects. Lack of design funding for already programmed stages I of new 212 threatens their existence. The purpose for which the funds would be used and the amounts and time for which required are all described in Attachment 5. 1 Dick Feerick, Coalition Chair, hopes to be in Washington in the next few days. If he is able to, he will stop by to discuss this Iwith you or your staff. 1 We understand that you will forward this to the proper ' authorities for consideration of our request.

PURPOSE AND NEED Proposed Action The proposed action is to construct a four-lane controlled access highway from approximately two miles east of Cologne, Minnesota to the interchange 11 of Trunk Highway 5 with Interstate 494 in Eden Prairie, Minnesota -- a distance of about 18 miles. Purpose The purpose of the proposed action is: o to provide for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods between the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and western Minnesota, and ' o to accommodate the regional transportation needs of the planned population and employment growth in the southwest portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Project History Improvement of existing TH 212 versus various new alignments has been under consideration since the early 1950's. Although the improvement of TH 212 and the proposed TH 169 river crossing have been discussed over the years, discord concerning location slowed progress in the implementation of the necessary planning and improvement. As a result of meetings initiated by the Twin Cities Metropolitan Council and the Highway 212 Association in 1967, agreement was reached as to a general alignment corridor by all of the communities in eastern Carver County and by Eden Prairie in Hennepin ' County. In 1970, a study by the firm of Howard Needles Tammen and Bergendoff, funded by the Minnesota Highway Department, resulted in the selection of a corridor ("Unique System D") for the location of TH 212 which was supported by all affected units of government as well as by many private organizations. In 1974 a DEIS was circulated to state and federal agencies for comment. Through the mid 1970's, little progress was made toward resolving the problems brought up by the comments made on this DEIS. In 1976 a group of citizens from Carver County and Eden Prairie published a report called "Priority Review of Trunk Highway 212" urging action on the roadway issue. But because of a lack of resolution of problems and because of changes in environmental regulations, Mn/DOT decided that the DEIS should be rewritten. In 1979 Mn/DOT formed a Citizens Advisory Committee as part of its scoping ' process and also held many meetings with concerned citizen groups and agencies. As a result of this activity a scoping report was prepared in it 1980 which outlined the alternatives and issues to be studied. A notice of intent to prepare an EIS was published in the January 31, 1980 Federal Register and work began on a new DEIS for the project. In 1981, however, Mn/DOT stopped all work on major new construction already begun, because of IF r -1- • I a shortage of funds, and severely cut back its planning -and preliminary engineering program. This absence of funding halted all work on the Southwest Corridor studies, including the EIS. Mn/DOT continued to meet with local officials and in 1983 reinstated the project and initiated another scoping process with a commitment to complete the preliminary engineering on the project. A Draft Study Outline/Scoping Document was prepared in 1985, a scoping public meeting was held February 26, 1986 and the Final Study Outline/Scoping Decision Document was approved in May, 1986. ' In July, 1987 Mn/DOT and the affected parties (Metropolitan Council, Carver and Hennepin counties, cities of Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie) entered into a joint powers agreement to participate and cooperate in the preparation and completion of the environmental impact statement and (design) study report. A TH 212 Task Force with staff representation from each affected party was formed to select the consultant and review and monitor progress. Carver County agreed to hire the selected consultant and administer the contract. The consulting firm of Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff was selected in December, 1987 and work began in March, 1988. Need Traffic • The existing (1986) and future (2010) daily traffic volumes in the Study Area are presented in Figure 3. Also presented are the levels of service (A,B,C,D,E,F) that relate the traffic volume to the traffic capacity of the roadway segment and the driver's freedom of movement. Level of service, as defined in Table 2, varies from a high of A with complete freedom of movement, to a low of F with stop-and-go conditions (long delays) . Metropolitan and statewide traffic in the Study Area is served predominantly by Trunk Highways 212 and 5. As shown in Figure 3, these highways were providing a generally poor level of service in 1986 -- with levels of service of E and F and substantial delays during peak hours in the eastern portion of the Study Area. The transportation plan of the Metropolitan Council identifies the southwest TH 212 area as one of eight highly congested corridors in the metropolitan area. The anticipated growth in population, employment, and traffic will outpace capacity improvements to TH 212 and TH 5. In 2010, TH 5 will continue to be at capacity and operate at level of service F, even with the current upgrading ' and expansion from two lanes to four. Traffic will more than double and delays will increase in frequency .and duration. TH 212 is programmed for upgrading and expansion to four-lanes north of Pioneer Trail, but would operate at level of service E or F in 2010. ' Local streets and highways will also be subjected to increased traffic. Pioneer Trail will be the most severely impacted roadway -- with the level ' of service decreasing from "B" and "C" in 1986 to "E" and "F" in 2010. This is, in part, a result of Pioneer Trail being the only continuous east-west arterial in the Study Area, other than TH 5. I -2- f • I --------,-____- _____ .. rf' 7---44..

Level of Service B is in the range of stable flow, but the presence of other users in the traffic stream begins to be noticeable. There is a slight decline in the freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream from LOS A. ' Level of Service C is in the range of stable flow, but marks the beginning of the range of flow in which the operation of individual users becomes significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream. Level of Service D represents high-density, but stable, flow. Speed and freedom to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver experiences a ' generally poor level of comfort and convenience. Small increases in traffic flow will generally cause operational problems at this level. Level of Service E represents operating conditions at or near the capacity level. All speeds are reduced to a low, but relatively uniform value. Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and II it is generally accomplished by forcing a vehicle to "give way" to accommodate such maneuvers. Operations at this level are usually unstable, because small increases in flow or minor perturbations within the traffic stream will cause breakdowns. Level of Service F is used to define forced or breakdown flow. This ' condition exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount which can traverse the point. Queues form behind such locations. Operations within the queue are characterized by stop-and-go ' waves, and they are extremely unstable.

L. -4- • II- II Safety II IITIThe accident rate along a roadway is a measure of the safety of that roadway. Table 3 summarizes the accident data for a three-year period for it three roadway segments within the Study Area. As shown in the table, the segments along TH 212 and TH 5 have considerably higher accident rates than the statewide averages for similar roadway categories. Table 3 Accident Data 1985-1987 I Length 1) Accident2) Rate Statewide Avg.

It will take about 41% longer in 2010 to - travel TH 212 from downtown Chaska to 1-494, than in 1988. Peak hour travel time along TH 5 from Chanhassen to I-494 has decreased with the 1988 widening project, but will increase as development occurs, and by 2010 will have returned to 1986 levels. In summary, within the next 20 years the capability of the existing and committed major streets and highways will be critically inadequate to accommodate the movement of people and goods at a reasonable level of service in the Study Area. Population, employment, and development will substantially increase and traffic will be about double 1986 volumes in the eastern portion of the Study Area. Current transportation facilities will be almost totally congested for several periods during the day. There is �= no metropolitan freeway in the Study Area -- one of the more rapidly developing areas of the Twin Cities. II The "need" in the Study Area is more roadway capacity, less vehicular accidents, improved access to the Metropolitan Area, and p reduced travel _ time. The proposed action -- a four-lane freeway/expressway on new alignment -- will satisfy this need. .1 -5- I Status of Planning and Development Activities I Both the metropolitan area and the TH 212 Study Area cities and townships are guided by development plans. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is guided by the Metropolitan Council's Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (MDIF), which sets the general direction for future ' development patterns in the Metro Area and establishes guidelines for making decisions about major regional facilities (like TH 212) that are needed to support commercial, industrial, and residential development of the Area. These guidelines provide direction to cities and townships in preparing long-term land use planning guidelines. The Metropolitan Council's recently adopted Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan ' (TPP) recommends TH 212 for construction on new right-of-way, as part of the Metropolitan Highway System. The TH 212 project supports the policies and goals of the TPP and the MDIF in that a New TH 212 will service forecasted growth in a rapidly developing area. Each of the TH 212 Study Area cities/townships maintains a land use plan -- as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 -- for guiding development activities into the late 1980's and 1990's. Land use plans in the various affected areas are, however, undergoing updates as needs have changed with urbanization. The updates will address the land use and transportation issues contained in the new TPP and will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for consistency with the TPP. An overview of the status of each land use plan is presented as follows: 1. Eden Prairie Eden Prairie's Guide Plan - land use map was updated most recently in 1985. However, a planning study being completed for the I southwestern portion of Eden Prairie could lead to future land use plan revisions and justification for MUSA expansions. For example, the 1990 transportation plan calls for a principal arterial on the present South Lake Riley Segment alignment and adjacent industrial development between the roadway and the C&NW Railroad. The City has since selected the Residential and North Lake Riley Segments as - the preferred alignment and modified the industrial land uses in the revised Guide Plan - land use map. 2. Chanhassen ' Chanhassen is currently (1988) undergoing a major comprehensive plan redrafting, and adopted a revised land use plan in January, 1988, that incorporates high density, medium density, and low density residential uses within the affected TH 212 Study Area. A ' parks/open space corridor has also been designated in the City's comprehensive plan revision between Lake Susan, Rice Marsh Lake, and Lake Riley. The redraft is likely to result in a substantial ' increase in the area provided with urban services. 3. Chaska Chaska's Land Use Plan, adopted in 1982, identifies flexible land uses, with limits placed primarily on density of use. In general, the Chaska Land Use Plan for 1990 recommends mid-to-high density development adjacent to collector, and minor and principal arterial streets and highways, and low density development in interior parcels. 1 ' -23- 1 4. Carver I- The City of Carver adopted a Comprehensive Plan update in 1982. Carver's general development plan for the year 2000 illustrates a large area in the northeast portion of the community to be reserved for the Minnesota Valley Refuge and Trail System. Abutting existing TH 212 on the south is a proposed 80 acre industrial park and scattered small residential subdivisions. The development of this industrial park and adjacent "in-fill" of residential subdivisions will likely continue the need for improved ' accessibility from TH 212. 5. Chaska/Dahlgren Townships ' Chaska and Dahlgren Townships, respectively, have land use plans that denote Long Term Commercial Agriculture Policy Areas to preserve agriculture as the principal land use through each township. These land use plans were adopted in 1982 with the adoption of the Carver County Comprehensive Plan. Three types of general land use areas are specified for each township: o Rural Service District Policy Area (agriculture) o Transition Policy des y Area (land designated for urban expansion) o Cities (urban land within the corporate limits or jurisdiction of a municipality) Ir Each township maintains active farming operations and scattered rural residences (hobby farms) . When lands are designated for urban expansion, their policy use can be transferred to the Transition Policy Area, but only after municipal annexation has occurred in accordance with an annexing municipality's compre- hensive plan and the rocedures required b P q by the Municipal Annexation Board. Development activities in the Study Area have generally been approved in accordance with respective comprehensive planning documents and land use ' plans. "Infill" development within the MUSA is occurring at a rapid rate, particularly in Eden Prairie but also near the "new town" of Jonathan in Chaska. Unsewered areas, particularly in the rural service areas of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, and Chaska/Dahlgren Townships, continue to grow more modestly. - More than 1,300 acres were being converted from rural or vacant land to residential land uses in 1988 in the TH 212 Study Area. Commercial land use conversions are occurring in the Eden Prairie "Major Center" Area, while warehousing/research facilities are being developed primarily in Chanhassen's and Chaska's industrial parks. Chanhassen's downtown has also undergone a recent streetscape renovation, while Carver continues to promote historic preservation and recreation activities. 11 i 1 -24- • I JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITIES OF EDFN PRAIRIE.

I In addition to the Mayors and City Council members of each City, State Legislators and representatives from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Council, Carver and I Hennepin Counties, and the local Business Community also par- ticipated in these meetings. I This cooperative effort began in late 1982 in response to proposed amendments to the Regional 'Transportation Development Guide/Policy Plan" developed by the Metropolitan Council. ITSM STUDY I During the past five (5) months, a joint "Transportation Systems Management" (TSM) study was undertaken by representatives of each of the affected governmental bodies. Input for this study was also received from; local Business leaders through the recently Iestablished "Southwest Transportation Corridor Coalition" . As a result of this study, state, local and regional officials I identified mutual concerns relative to transportation system inadequacies in this area. This joint effort also provided each jurisdiction with an opportunity to share proposed future I transportation improvement plans with one another, and to coor- dinate these plans for maximum efficiency and public benefit. I A progress report on the TSM study was presented to local elected officials and the business coalition on July 12 , 1983 . The major findings of this study are summarized below: 1. Plans for major improvements to transportation systems within the study area have been proposed for almost thirty ' (30 ) years, yet no significant improvements to regional transportation systems have been constructed as yet. 2. Immediate capacity and safety improvements are warranted on State Highway 5 in that segment from 1-494 to State Highway 41. MnDOT han currently pruqrammod lour lane improvements front 1-494 to County Road 4 in Eden Prairie, ' with construction scheduled for 1905-86 . • ., 1 POSITION PAPER 7/20/83 Page 2 3 . Plans for the construction of U.S . Highway 212 to freeway standards along a new route from 1-494 to existing U .S . 212 west of Chaska have been incorporated into the ' recently adopted Comprehensive Plans of Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden. Prairie and Carver County. 4. That segment of .the proposed new U.S . 212 corridor in Eden Prairie is in danger of being lost due to intense private development pressure in recent years . Eden Prairie has ' been successful in preserving only limited portions of this critical segment through negotiations wit)}. land devel- opers during plan review processes . (See segment "A" on ' attached Improvements Plan. ) 5 . Official Mapping of segment "A" will not adequately pre- serve this corridor for new Q.S . 212, since funding ' available under the so-called "Schreiber Bill" for local right-of-way acquisition is insufficient to cover pro- jected acquisition costa in this segement. ' 6. Preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS ) for aew Q.S . 212 was abruptly halted in 1980 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation . No other work on this project will be authorized by MnDOT until funding is programmed for new U.S . 212. ' 7. It is premature- for the cities of Chanhassen and Chaska to proceed with official mapping of the new U.S . 212 corridor prior to completion of the EIS , since the actual corridor identified through the EIS process may be substantially different than the right-of-way designated ' on the Cities ' official maps. 8. Safety and capacity improvements are warranted on other primary road systems serving this area, especially State ' Highways 41_ and 101.. 9 . Hennepin County is presently considering the extension of ' County Road 62 (Crosstown Highway ) from County Road 60 (Baker Road) to State Highway 101 sometime between 1985 and 1990 . The proposed route would follow Townline Road, ' with initial improvements limited to two lanes . This improvement would likely reduce traffic on Highway 5, but would not eliminate the need to upgrade Highway 5 to four ' lanes from 1-494 to Highway- 41.. 10 . MnDOT' s District 5 Office has recently submitted a pro- posed seven-year Transportation Improvement Program to the Commissioner of Transportation which addresses many of the concerns and needs identified through the TSM 1 e_G I POSITION PAPER 7/20/83 Page 3 1 study. This plan provides for the following improvements: a) Upgrading of Highway 5 to four ( 4) lanes from County Road 4 to Highway 41, to be let by 1988. ' b) Construction' of two ( 2) lanes of proposed new U.S . 212 from L-494 to existing O .S . 212 west of Chaska, to be ' let by 1989. (Segments A through D on attached Improvements Plan. ) c) Upgrading Highway 41 from Highway 5 to U.S. 212, to be let by 1990 . ' d) Upgrading of proposed new U.S. 212 to four ( 4) lanes restricted access subsequent to 1990 (when money is available and demand dictates) . POSITION STATEMENT IThe Cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie unanimously support the following positions relative to critical transporta- tion system improvements needed within the Southwestern IMetropolitan Area: 1. The seven-year Transportation Improvement Program ' developed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation 's District 5 Office (which is currently under review by the Department's Central. Office in St. Paul) represents the ' most reasonable and acceptable solution for meeting . local, regional, and state transportation needs during the next decade. This proposed improvement program has the full support of all three affected communities, even .though it represents a substantially scaled-down version of original plans for the construction of a new U.S . 212 ' freeway dating back as long ago as the Late 1950 ' s. This current proposal (see 110 in TSM Study Summary) , ' which provides for acquisition of right-of-way for the entire route of new U.S . 212 at widths necessary to accommodate future freeway improvements, should be approved by the Commissioner of Transportation and funded for construction as soon as possible. 2. In order to preserve the proposed corridor for new U.S . 212 until right-of-way acquisition commences, the Commissioner of Transportation should immediately authorize and direct MnOOt Staff to complete the ' Environmental Impact Statement for new U.S. 212 as soon as possible. The Commi.3siouer should also authorize the necessary funds for preparation of a centerline survey of IPOSITION PAPER 7/20/83 Page 4 new U.S . 212 from its intersection with I-49-4 westerly to ' its intersection with existing U.S . 212 west of Chaska . Completion of the EIS and centerline survey will allow the local communities to effectively utilize the official ' mapping process and funds provided through the "Schreiber Bill" to preserve right-of-way in rural segments of this corridor on an interim. basis . ' 3 . In order to preserve that portion of proposed new U.S . 212 right-of-way through Eden Prairie ( identified as ' segment "A" on attached Improvements Plan) , the Commissioner of Transportation should allocate the necessary funds for acquisition of this right-of-way as ' soon after completion of the EIS as possible. This is the only means to insure that the new U.S. 212 corridor can be preserved in areas of Eden Prairie currently experiencing intense development pressure. ' 4. The Transportation Systems Management program should con- tinue in order to provide a forum for the orderly ' scheduling of individual improvement projects and as a means to develop transportation improvement alternatives for the Southwestern Metropolitan Area in the event that ' MnDOT's recommended improvement program becomes sidetracked or unattainable due to future funding short- falls . This cooperative approach to transportation ' programming should continue to involve representatives from all affected local governments, the Metropolitan Council, MnDOT, and such other governmental agencies and ' business interests who are affected by this area's transportation systems planning. ' 5 . The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie will continue to cooperate with all public and private enti- ties who are involved in the planning, programming, and • management of the transportation systems within this area. - ICONCLUSION The cities of Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie are unified in Iour support of the recent proposal of the Minnesota Department of Transportation to upgrade the critical transportation systems serving the Southwestern Metropolitan Area. We are prepared to Ilend our support to- this proposal in whatever manner we can, and will continue to cooperate with all state, regional and local officials having an interest in providing adequate transportation Isystems for the citizens of the State of Minnesota.

The review analyzes policy plans, available data regarding T.H. I 5 and T.H: 212, projects traffic demand to the year 2000 and recommends an action plan for the coalition. The major findings of the review are the following: ISummary of Findings 1. Highways 5 and 212 Have Existing Traffic Volumes That Exceed Capacity. IThe highways were designed as two-lane roads having a daily traffic volume of 6,500 to 7,500 vehicles per day. Based on 1986 traffic volume counts, the Iaverage daily volume on T.H. 5 ranges from 11,500 to 31,900. 2. Excessive Traffic Volumes Have Caused Heavy Congestion. I T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 are congested for extended periods of time. The hours of congestion are considerably longer than most other metropolitan area highways. In the corridor, congestion occurs for up to eight hours per day I - while on most other heavily traveled routes the congestion averages two hours. 3. Highway Safety As Measured In Accident And Seve:•ity Rates Needs To Be IImproved. e Accident information statistics report that T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 have higher I - than normal accident and severity rates. T.H. 5 exceeds its Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) District (5) average accident by 55% and the accident severity rate by 32%. I4. Highway 5 And Highway 212 Serve One Of The Most Rapidly Growing Areas In The Metropolitan Area. IThe cities located within the southwest corridor are among the most rapidly growing cities in the metropolitan area. Eden Prairie's population has almost doubled since 1980. It is also projected that the corridor cities will Igrow at a faster rate than the region. 5. Highway 5 And Highway 212 Are Experiencing Commuting To Employment I Facilities in Other Cities And From Other Cities To Locations Along The Highways. The cities along the corridor are not only experiencing population growth Ibut also growth in employment opportunities. The location of employment along the corridor has caused commuting from other cities during the rush hours to corridor cities. For example, approximately 20,000 of the 23,000 Ijobs located in Eden Prairie are held by residents of other cities. 6. Highway 5 And Highway 212 Provide Access To Greater Minnesota And Are I Major Grain Truck Routes. The highways are two of ten highways that carry most of the metropolitan I area's truck traffic. Most of the grain truck traffic travels on highways located in the area's southwest portion. T.H. 5 and T.H. 212 combined handle about 10% of the total heavy trucks and 29% of the daily grain trucks entering the metropolitan area. a r 411111•11111M 11111 IIMEM aa� -AM im...w ■...

A Chief of Police CC Chanhassen Police Department I P.O. Box 147 i Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317 IDear Chief Chaffee: The Minneapolis Office of the FBI wishes to alert you to a growing problem which is plaguing the Twin Cities area. The I trend is not only of local concern, but is also of concern to the entire nation. This is the problem of the rapid increase in robberies of banks and other financial institutions. IThe epidemic of robberies is no different from the increase in homicides and many other violent crime. The I motivating factor is drugs. As a result, robbers are more desperate and dangerous. I In 1988, the Twin Cities area experienced 18 robberies; in 1989, 42 robberies; and as of April 1, 1990, we have already been the victim of 25 robberies. I The FBI and local law enforcement agencies have been severely hampered in their efforts to investigate and bring the robbers to justice. Many financial institutions seem to be I apathetic toward security and consider it a low priority. As a result, the cameras are outdated, poorly maintained and inferior quality photographs are obtained. The bank personnel are not adequately trained to respond to robberies and do not know what to I do when one occurs. On many occasions, the alarm system and cameras have been activated purposely after the robber leaves the institution, due to fear that police will respond too soon. I Proper training of the bank personnel would alleviate these fears and create an awareness that police are trained to refrain from approaching the institution until they are assured the robber has Ideparted. In addition to the above, robbers are increasingly knowledgeable of security in financial institutions and are nullifying their effectiveness by wearing disguises, refusing to take bait money, etc. The point is that the traditional security and investigation is becoming inadequate and it is time to get ahead of the robbers again. Over and above the monetary loss, the threat of bodily harm obligates all of us to put forth every effort to create safe conditions and take control again. Several cities have instituted a new security system which appears to be more advanced and effective than any other existing today. Statistics reveal that the system has helped reduce robberies as much as two thirds in cities such as San Francisco, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The Minneapolis Office of the FBI requested the Director of Marketing , C. Michael Iles, Electronic Tracking Systems, Incorporated, (ETS) , Plano, Texas, present the details of the program to all concerned. In addition, Lieutenant John Burner, San Francisco, California, Police Department, Robbery Unit, has agreed to describe how the ETS has performed in that city since installed in 1981. Representatives of the Minneapolis FBI, Bank Robbery Squad, will also make some comments. To successfully overcome the advantage the robbers now have, a combined effort is necessary involving the financial institutions, security companies, local police and the FBI. The meeting will take place on Monday, May 14 , 1990, at 8 : 00 a.m. , at the Registry Hotel, 7901 24th Avenue, Ballroom B.C. (lower level) , Bloomington, Minnesota. If you have any questions, contact Special Agent Michael B. Neville, Minneapolis FBI, Minneapolis, Minnesota, telephone number (612) 339-7861. The FBI urges each department to have the Chief and the head of the Robbery Unit attend the meeting in an effort to explain the system. 2 1 1111 Metro I MOSQUITO 4,0174r,i, i I Illi III News % I Vol. 1 No. 2 Metropolitan Mosquito Control District Winter 1990 I "....WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO IN THE WINTER?"
