Activity: 522 Long Range Planning
Prepare amendments and updates to the Comprehensive Plan. Explain and interpret
Comprehensive Plan policies and goals. Coordinate implementation of the
comprehensive plan with other City departments. Prepare ordinance amendments of the
City code. Perform special studies as required.
Who is it serving: City Council, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustments,

Why is it important: (benefit to key stakeholders) Fulfills requirements of the Minnesota
Legislature and Metropolitan Council. Provides guidance for the realization of the City's
vision. Provides the City with in depth analysis in making policy and ordinance
investigation and revisions.
How does it suppport the strategic plan:
The Comprehensive Plan (Plan) is a dynamic document that represents a synopsis of City
goals and policies for the current and future development of the community. It attempts
to put into a textual form a vision of the City. It provides guidance for the realization of
the City's vision. The Plan by definition is a "values" document. It attempts to verbalize
the values of the community through the recitation of specific goals and policies. It
delineates the amenities and perceptions that make the community a special place to live
and work. The capital investment plan attempts to provide an effective and efficient plan
for the capital investment within the community as well as coordinating the provision of
community services.
Development of the comprehensive plan update was achieved through an extended
process including public hearing, workshops, open houses, media reports, and civic and
individual discussion. The Plan is continuously re-examined as development proposals
are presented to the City. The Plan provides guidance in evaluating options for the
furtherance of community goals and policies. It establishes a framework to develop
priorities in the development and servicing of the City. At least annually, values and
priorities are evaluated through the budget process, especially the capital budget, and its
comparison to the capital investment plan embodied in the Plan. Finally, at least once
every five years, the entire Comprehensive Plan must be updated, as required by state
statute, to assess where the City is in achieving its goals and policies.
Development of the Plan was achieved through an extended process including public
hearing, workshops, open houses, media reports, and civic and individual discussion.
Planning staff is proposing that the City get out into the community more often and
present neighborhood meetings, discussions, and open houses to assure a continuous
dialogue is maintained and to keep residents informed about plans for the community.
18
The open house forum employed as part of the Comprehensive Plan process allowed for
informal sharing of ideas and discussion.
The Parks and Open Space Element and capital investment plan provide guidance in
determining the need for additional facilities. In addition, the overall community
development goals provide the framework for discussions about the merits of such
facilities.
The land use element of the Comprehensive Plan provides the overall parameters for the
development of housing, as well as other land uses, in the community. Four density
ranges of housing are specified in the Plan: large lot (0.4 units per acre), low density (1 -
4 units per acre), medium density (4 - 8 units per acre) and high density (8 - 12 units per
acre). The Plan also includes a density bonus provision for affordable housing of a 25
percent density increase in the number of housing units permitted. The housing element
of the Plan provides policies encouraging development at the higher end of the density
range and promotes the mixing of housing density to provide sufficient diversity to meet
the life-cycle needs of the residents of the City.
In conjunction with the City's participation in the Livable Communities Act, the Plan
provides an action plan including housing diversity and affordability goals for the
community. An important consideration in housing is the proposed development
parameters. To facilitate good design, the plan incorporates design principles from the
Urban Land Institute as guidance for the design process.
One of the community assets identified by the Comprehensive Plan was an identifiable
downtown area. The Plan proposes to maintain this emphasis as the community
continues to exp'and. The central business district and highway business districts penTIit a
wide variety of commercial and retail uses. The mixed use development within the
Village on the Ponds development should complement the downtown area.
One of the communities greatest assets, and a quality that is often cited by new residents,
is the natural areas and parks and open spaces that are preserved and maintained within
the community. The Bluff Creek Watershed Natural Resources Management Plan,
approved in December 1996, is an appendix to the Plan and serves as a guide for the
development within the cooridor. The design review process outlined in the housing
element of the Plan highlights the extreme sensitivity of the community for the protection
of natural areas. The Natural Resources element of the plan discusses the significant
natural features present in the community (lakes, wetlands, creek and river corridors, and
forests) and proposes specific policies for their protection. The Parks & Open Space
element makes it a priority to preserve environmentally sensitive or significant areas
before they are destroyed or altered by development. The Plan also proposes that a
balanced park system including neighborhood and community parks, special facilities,
schools, and private developments all be interconnected by a linear trail system.
19
The Plan proposes the development of a multi-modal transportation system to
accommodate walkers, bikers, transit riders, and drivers. The Future Functional
Classification System specifies a hierarchy of street networks to provide long distance
and short duration trips through and within the c.ommunity. The Transportation element
provides specific policies promoting pedestrian and bicycle access throughout the
community and requiring linkages between developments. The Plan also expands and
promotes transit alternatives including bus service, light rail transit, commuter rail, and
travel demand management strategies.
The comprehensive nature of the Pan indirectly promotes safety and security for the
community in that it verbalizes the values from which the community has grown and
provides direction and guidance for the future. A community is made up of its residents,
businesses and institutions sharing a common history or common social, economic and
political interests. Agreement on the commonality of interests as outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan can and will foster the sense of community. The community, in
turn, will reach out to protect and preserve its members.

approximately 19,000 persons.

Total cost 537,332. $1.96 per resident.

Activity: 530 Senior Commission
Activity: The Senior Commission meets once a month to investigate senior needs in the
community. There level of activity varies. The commission serves as an umbrella for
several programs such as congregate dining, meals on wheels, information and referral,
and transportation. The commissioners take turns in attending all activities in the senior
center to stay in contact with seniors, be informed of any emerging needs, and to educate
seniors on services available to them. Members of the commission also serve on other
outside committees such as Community Education, Senior Expo, and Senior Advisory
Committee to Carver County Board of Commissioners.
Who is it serving: The commission serves seniors through representing them in the
community of Chanhassen, acting as a resource to the community, planning for future
senior needs, and promoting a positive image that can be associated with seniors in
Chanhassen. The commission strives to serve Baby Boomers, younger and older seniors,
and children of seniors.
Why is it important: As the "Baby Boomers" generation ages, a larger percentage of the
overall population will be seniors which will lead to larger issues and type of services
catering to seniors. The commission's goal is to be proactive and prepare for these needs
rather than react to them. The commission aims to prolong the independence of seniors
in the home.
How does it support the strategic plan: The overall roll of the Senior Commission and
their mission is in direct unison with the City Council's Strategic Plan.
Volullteerism: A large number of programs offered at the Senior Center are run
by volunteers, some of which serve on the Senior Commission.
Education: The Senior Commission is continuously educating the community and
providing them information on the demographics of Chanhassen, senior services
available, activities, social programs, volunteer opportunities, and definition of a Senior
Citizen.
Evaluation of Needs: The Senior Commission serves as an advisory body to the
City Council in addressing the special needs of the people over 55 living in
Chanhassen. The Senior Commission considers and makes recommendations to
the City Council regarding the special needs of seniors in the areas of
transportation, information and assistance, independent living in the home, social
and recreational programs, senior centers and senior housing, but is not limited to
these issues.
Evaluate the need for senior housing: The Senior Commission is evaluating the
need for additional senior housing and is proposing a senior needs study be
conducting after the Year 2000 census are released.
30
How many does it serve: The 1990 Census showed that 7% of the population in
Chanhassen is 55 or older. Future projections indicate that this number will continue to
increase. The Metropolitan Council estimates a 45% increase in the senior community.
By serving the seniors, the commission also provides service to children of seniors that
live in the city (i.e., I. providing transportation for seniors that can no longer drive frees
up the obligation of a family member to provide the service. 2. Senior Housing in the
area allows senior citizens to stay in the community in which their family members live
and can allow for more interaction with them while allowing the seniors to maintain a
level of independence.).
Cost per beneficiary: Based upon the 1990 census information, the total number of
seniors age 55+ was 1,079. To represent the current senior population, staff added the
number of individuals age 50-54 since they have aged 9 years and would be considered
seniors today. Based upon this analogy, the estimated number of seniors age 60+ is
1,540. This number assumes that there has been no in migration of seniors into the
community. The Metropolitan Council is forecasting a 45% increase in the senior
population. If that number is accurate, then the total increase in number of seniors is 693
which gives us a total of2,233.
Assuming that only seniors benefit from programs recommended by the Senior
Commission, $22,500 + 1,540 = $14.61 per beneficiary. This number assumes that
there has been no increase the senior population. Or $22,500 + 2,233 = $10.08 per
beneficiary if one accepts the Metropolitan Council's forecast..
There are many programs such as intergenerational programs that benefit children by
learning values that can be passed on by seniors. Congregate Dining insures a minimum
of one nutritious meal per day which could be translated into a direct benefit to family
members who will rest assured that this elderly person is getting the nutrition they need.
It will also give them a healthier life which will also benefit family members since the
senior member of the family can continue a more independent living.
Other performance measures:
Number of seniors who use or visit senior center.
Number of meals served at senior center.
Staffing Level Description: Staffliaison to the Senior Commission providing them with
professional advise and assisting them in implementing their goals and objectives. Staff
is responsible for preparing monthly agendas, preparing minutes, be present at the Senior
Commission meetings.

Environmental Resources
Mission Statement
To provide funding mechanism and accounting control for projects/activities that have
significant impact on our environment. The protection and management ofChanhassen's
natural resources is an important component of the attraction and quality oflife in the
city. This budget is designed to maintain the quality oflife of both the residents and the
environment through fiscal accountability and planning.
The environmental problems and costs associated with solid waste (garbage), recycling,
water quality management and composting continue to grow. Chanhassen continues to
aggressively attack these problems and attempt to resolve these issues before they
become unmanageable. Cooperative efforts with the county for composting and recycling
are continuing
Budget Highlights
One half of an additional staff person is being requested. The proposed position would
be paid out of the reforestation budget and the park maintenance budget. The job position
would be a forestry technician/arborist and would assist in the maintenance of the city
reforestation projects. This would be an increase of 100 % in salary and wages.
The other change would be in the city forester's job classification from a grade two to a
grade three this would result in a $345 average salary increase in 1998.
There is a 57,250 request for color arterial photos as well as an increase in travel and
training.
Future Trends
As the city grows and there are more complex development proposals there will be a
greater more demand of the forestry services. The population growth will also great a
greater need for recycling and lake management services.

Surface Water Management Utility
Mission Statement
This fund will account for the activities within the entire City relating to stormwater runoff,
retention and water quality issues and carry out the surface water management plan as adopted by
the city Council.
The City has two sources of funding, the storm water utility fee and one-time connection fees for
new development. The stormwater utility is billed each quarter in conjunction with the sewer
and water utility. Properties are identified and charged according to a rate scale established by
the City Council. For instance, a single family residence is billed $ 5.00 per quarter.
The one time connection fees are applied toward the stormwater management costs of costly
future construction projects, such as improvements to HWY 5 and HWY 101. They also fund
the construction of needed regional ponds in accordance to the Surface Water Management Plan
(SWMP).
Each year annual budgets are based on projected income from the storm water utility, or
approximately $350,000. Yearly budgets also include carry over from the previous year's
revenue.
The yearly goals of the SWMP is complete major storm water projects. These projects are
selected fonn recommendations from city public works and parks departments, homeowners
complaints, and from the list of projects in the (SWMP).
In addition to these projects, the SWMP also fund storm water maintenance activity and
construction prepared by the City's public works staff. In 1998 a inventory and rating was done
on the 114 storm water ponds within the City. From this information, a maintenance schedule
has been established and will become an important art of the SWMP.
Budget Highlights
(see appendix)
Future Trends
To continue to manage storm water quality, and quantity to protect property and the environment
within the City of Chanhassen. Look for more cost effective ways to construct projects and keep
storm water utility to a minimum.

CHANHASSEN PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
To foster Public Safety by efficiently providing. . .
Safety Related Community Services
Education to Staff and the Community
Fair Enforcement of Statutes and Codes
Professional and Personal Staff Development
. . .for the benefit of those visiting, working and living in the City
of Chanhassen
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
· Additional 20 hours of secretarial/support staff time.
· Last year of "Clinton Cop" three year agreement with Carver County.
· Building Inspections department intern.
FUTURE TRENDS:
Continued community growth will continue to impact all areas of the public safety department.
SERVICE LEVEL ISSUESfUNMET NEEDS:
The 20 hours of additional secretarial time primarily benefits the fire department, which is
requiring increasing support staff time. In order to keep up with existing public safety support
statY needs and respond to fire department needs, we are seeking 20 hours additional secretarial
help.
Summertime building season time delays continue to cause contractors and staff frustrations.
Current staffing cannot assure as rapid of plan tum-a-rounds and inspections scheduling that we
would like. An intern during the summer months would help in this area.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Chanhassen Fire Department is to minimize loss of life and property in the City of
Chanhassen from fires, natural disasters, life threatening situations and to assist other emergency agencies.
Vision Statement
(t is our vision to be known as an innovative and progressive fire department. We are dedicated to the
delivery of effective fire suppression, rescue services and quality fire/safety education to the public. We
strive to offer the best available education and training to our members. We are committed to providing an
environment which fosters teamwork among members. We desire to have an atmosphere of open
communication wbich promotes the health and welfare of individual members.
Budget Highlights
The 1999 budget is a significant increase from prior year expenditures. As a paid on call fire department
model, the city enjoys excellent service at a fraction of the cost of providing these services using full-time
fire fighters. (Based on our own infonual survey Chanhassen's Fire Department cost/citizen is $15.23, the
average volunteer/paid on call FD is at $22.34, the average Full·time FD is $55.00lcitizen) It is the
express goal of the fire department to maintain the Uyolunteer" nature of our organization.
Notwithstanding this however. we are challenged with recruiting and retaining qualified and well trained
members. The time commitment required to be a member of the fire department has doubled in the last 10
years. Calls are up 200%, training requirements have increased and family and primary job demands have
resulted in the loss of 7 members ranging in experience from 6-12 years on the fir< department over the
past 10 months. The proposed budget attempts to begin the process of "shoring up" wage and benefit
packages to improve retention of the current membership and to give us better recruiting and training tools.
New equipment, new technology and increased maintenance costs round out the remaining changes to the
budget. These requests are outlined below and include explanations that describe how they will benefit the
services we deliver. In summary the operational budget changes total approximately an additional
$ 1 03.000 in non salary/ benefit increases and an additional $33,000 to $65.000 for wage and benefit
increases with actual costs depending on call volume and investment results & state aid in the pension plan.
Finally we are also looking to replace the Fire Chiefs vehicle ($35,000) for safel)' reasons and have
outlined the need to set aside funds for the change over in County radio service from YHF to 800 mhz
($ I 00.000) in 2001.
If you approve this budget for 1999, the average cost per citizen will go to approximately $22.00, slightly
below the average noted earlier.

4. Service requirements will become more complex (technical rescue, hazmat, EMS & fire).
5. Increased prevention through more education and inspections to reduce exposure.
6. Increased training requirements.
7. Expect to share resources more with neighboring fire departments, EMS vendor, and policelsheriffto
minimize cost increase from expected growth.
8. Explore alternative staffing models using stand by or duty crews to handle late night or peak call
periods.
Service Level IssueslUnmet Needs:
The fire department relies heavily on city staff inclusive of the Public Safety Director, the Fire Marshall,
the Fire Inspector and some limited secretarial support staff to handle administration, training, fire
prevention, fire inspections and fire investigations. In addition, this department plays a key role in
m~!1aging our day to day relationships and communicating with and responding to city tax payers, fire
department members, vendors, other emergency response agencies. These city staff members are the fuel
that energizes our organization, the glue that keeps us together and focused on our objectives and goals. In
essence. because these people do the unglamorous but necessary behind the scenes work, we are able to
maintain excellent service at a very affordable cost for Our tax payers.
To continue to meet the growing needs of the citizens ofChanhassen , we are requesting an additional 20
hours/week of secretarial support.
