PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED ANIMAL CDNTROL ORDINAN:E
MARCH 29, 1976, AT 7:30 P.M.
Mayor KlingeJhutz called the public hearing to order with the following members present:
Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, an::ì Kurvers. Approximately 35 persons attended.
Marlene Roufs, Karen Swanson, Dick Matthews, and Joe Kenyon of the Ad Hoc Conmittee
were present. Michael Blood, Anirral Control Officer, Edina and Mr. Al Stenerud, Humane
Society were present.
The Official Notice of Public Hearing was read by Craig Mertz.
Dick M3.tthews, Chairrran of the Ad Hoc Cormnittee, discussed the proposed changes to the
ordinance. 'Ihe proposed ordinance is designed around animal safety and as a result
the ordinance also controls public nuisance and public health problems. 'Ihe Conmi ttee
found that the controls placed on dogs should also be placed on cats for the reason of
their own safety. Animals that run at large are subject to death, disease, dismernberrrent,
abuse, and scorn therefore, there is a need to control both cats and dogs. License
fees of $2.00 for neutered dogs and $5 . 00 for un-neutered dogs and license fees of
75¢ for neutered cats and $1. 50 for un-neutered cats. A statement from a qualified
veterinarian indicating that the animal has been neutered and giving the date of the
operation Imlst accompany the application for license of all neutered animals. 'Ihe
police and animal control officer of the City are authorized to issue a citation to
any owner whose animal is found at large in the City. When possible these officers are
authorized to take up and impound animals at large along with any unlicensed animals.
Payment to the Clerk of a $10.00 fee for unlicensed dogs and a $3.00 fee for unlicensed
cats for the current year together with the impounding fee of $15.00 plus $5.00 per
day the animal is confined in the pound. In addition a graduated fine shall be assessed
in accordance with the following schedule:
First violation - $15.00
Second violation - $25.00
'Ihird violation - $40.00
Fourth and subsequent violations - $80.00
A charge of 50¢ shall be made for each duplicate tag issued.
A private kennel is any place where rrore than two animals over six rronths of age are
kept or harbored. A corrmercial kennel is any place where person, firm or corporation
accepts animals from the general public and where such animals are kept for the purpose
of selling, boarding, breeding, training, treating or groc:rning. No person, firm or
corporation shall maintain in the City a private or comnercial kennel without securing
a license therefrom the City Council. No license shall be required for a private
kennel consisting of cats if the kennel is located on a tract or parcel of land being
used for agriculture as defined in the Zoning Ordinance and if said cats are kept for
rodent control purposes incident to the agricultural use of said tracl or parcel of
land.
Craig lVErtz remarked on what elEments of the ordinance are different from the existing
ordinance. 'Ihe provision for leashing of animals represents a change. Under the
proposed ordinance if a dog or cat is on your property there is no need for a leash
but as soon as that animal crosses the property line your animal is running at large
and must be on a leash or it will be picked up by the animal control officer. The old
ordinance said that if the animal is under control but outside the property is was not
running at large. The fee schedule for licensing is changing. Previously cats did
not need a license, now they will. Cats now are going to have to have rabies vaccinations.
Another. change would be the amount of the redemption fee. 'Ihe City will have IIDre
power to have nuisance animals renoved from the City. A provision has been made for
Deputy Licensing Clerks.
Public Hearing March 29, 1976

The hearing was opened for comments from the floor.
Debra Templeman - I can assume there are many people in this area who have come from
out of state. We have one cat that is 15 years old and I am not sur. I
if the veterinarian still practices.
Dick Matthews - 'Ihe Veterinary Clinic, when you take your dog or cat down for a
vaccination will certify that the animal has been neutered. 'Ihe
actual sending in of the certificate in some cases may be
impossibly.
cebra Ternplerran - I realize there is a problEm with kitties in sand boxes because I
have a sand box but we keep ours covered and so do most of our
neighbors. You are talking about rabies shots an::ì it is my
understanding that cats are only subject to rabies if they hund.
If you are going to leash them, which I don't quite understand how
you really intend to do this.
Dick Matthews - 'Ihe leashing of cats is generally started frcm the time the animal is
a kitten. Veterinarians say you can work with your animal. It takes
time. It takes effort. I am not saying this is easy. In the first
place it is not eas t to care for an animal.
Debra Templeman - You said at the beginning of this that all your complaints deal with
dogs. I don't think there have been any cat complaints.
M3.rlene Roufs - I think possibly why the City Hall didn I t get complaints on cats is
because there is no ordinance against them. 'Ihis is why we did the
ordinance now is if people have complaints.
Dick Matthews - 'Ihe City of Shakopee has a leash law for cats and the reason they
invoked that was because they had such a problem with cats.
Michael Blood - Usually if you have a problem, say in a neighborhood, I'll have to
relate to Edina, in the past 14 days we have had six complaints on
cats and normally it's when they are becoming a nuisance. If, let's I
say there is no problem with cats and he isn't causing a problem
around the neighborhood then normally nothing would be done but
if he were causing a problem we would have a law to enforce. We
had one call last spring where one family had three cats and the
next door neighbor had some shrubs in the front yard with little
pebbles around the shrubs. When they called me there were over a
1,000 deposits in that one little area of the shrubs and when it
starts getting warm it really became a nuisance. This is just an
exarrple. Another one we have a cat that was defecating on the roof
of a car. Like I say we have had six calls on cats in the last
14 days. Not all have been that serious and rrost of them nothing
was done besides the fact that the owners were advised. If there
is a need for it, that way we can force the people to take care of
the problem.
Dick Matthews - If you don't know where your dog or your cat is or what he is doing
how can you say that it is not a public nuisance or a public health
hazard. I just want you to think about that.
Debra Templerran - I think this is a possibility that you might add to your ordinances.
I did watch my neighbor who was walking her pet who let her pet go
and defecate on another neighbors lawn and walk on. I think this
takes an awful lot of nerve.
Dick Matthews - If it became a problem there is no reason why it could not be put
into the ordinance.
Jim Philion - What kind of teeth are you going to put into this? We had a wild I
dog, a pretty large dog, try to scale our fence. We called it in
and we got a response back to try to capture the dog and put it in
our garage. We did. It was something like five hours before they
came to pick it up.
Dick Matthews - 'Ihe Committee has recommended to the Council that we have our Otm
animal control officer instead of the present contracted method
which we feel is unacceptable.

Jim Philion - I can't understand how you got 48 pick ups because ;r: just don't believe
it. Whenever we have called in they have been tearing the garbage and all
the rest of the routine, it's just insane.
Dick M3.tthews - It is important that the ordinance have good control. We agree with
your statEment exactly.
Councilnan Shulstad - Has the Corrmittee come up with any estimate of what that y.,¡ould
cost the City?
Dick Matthews - 'Ihe Cormnittee feels it would not cost the City any rrore than you are
presently paying. We are penalizing the public for not licensing
animals in that if you do not license your animal and either the
animal control officer cites you for it or impounds the animal and in
the case of a dog or cat the fee is double for not having a current
license. By having your own animal control officer you are going to be
much rrore effective in what you are trying to do.
Councilman Shulstad - What is the estimated cost per year for an animal control officer?
Dick Matthews - I imagine you could get one for $3,00 or $4,000. It is not a full
eight hour job.
Clara Donlin - I don't have a cat now but I did have one and I live in the country and
I certainly would not leash that cat because it caught all the rodents.
We have an old house and that cat cleaned up the whole place, inside
and out.
Dick Matthews - As long as the cat is on your property, it doesn't matter.
Clara Donlin - How can you keep a cat on an acre of ground when they've cleaned
everything up. They are going to wander off.
Dick Matthews - I would like to point out that dogs also control rodents.
Clara Donlin - I obey the law and I have my dog on a leash and he is in my yard all the
time. . He has all his shots but I don't have anything that says he is
neutered yet he is very neutered. I got him when he was alrrost a year
old and I have nothing to prove it.
Dick M3.tthews - Go to the Veterinary Clinic, they will certify it.
Clara Donlin - Every year I come for a license I have a hassle because last year I
came in for a license, his shots come due the end of the year. I wasn It
going to get a dog license because his shots weren't going to run to
April. You tell me who has their dogs have their litters so they
can come out in April with your dog license. Last year they weren't
going to give me a dog license because the shot ran out in December.
I am suppose to have him have his shots nine rronths early in order to
coincide with the dog tag.
Chuck Nabor - I would just like to speak on behalf of this resolution I think this
is something that the City of Chanhassen definitely needs. I think it
should be rigidly enforced. I am somewhat concerned with enforcement
because I know there are regulations at Lake Ann and there are very few
times that I have been to Lake Ann where I didn't see pets. I would
like to urge the Council to pass this without delay and take the
necessary steps to see that it is enforced.
Clyde Hehl - I have lived here for 13 years and I have had two dogs myself. I have got
a fence to keep mine in. I have had 75 and 80 pound dogs ju:rrping over the
fence to get in. I have talked to Al KlingeJhutz and he says put it in
your garage. You go out there with a german shepherd when he snar les
at you, the only way to put him in the garage is with a shot gun or 22
rifle. I don't know this gentleman here but I will agree with him 100%.
I can't see where they made 48 pick ups because I can sit in my kitchen
window on Saturday and Sunday and I see 2 to 7 dogs, the same dogs, every
single week end. N:>thing is ever done about it. I have never seen the
dog catcher.
Public Hearing March 29, 1976
-4-
M3.yor Klingelhutz - For the first three rronths of 1976, there has been 16 tickets
issued, all but three have paid up their fines, one of those
three has gotten rid of his dog so we have only got two problems
left of those 16 at the present time. We are working on it. I
We know we have a problem. 'W2 want to increase those fines to
rrake it so that it gets mighty tough the second or third time
that dog is picked up to go in and pay an $80.00 fine and they
will start to think maybe we had better keep that dog at home
and not let him run out at 7: 30 in the rrorning when they know
there is no dog catcher on the road or on week ends when they
kno.v there is no dog catcher.
Clyde Hehl - My dog has had rabies shots and a license ever since we IIDved here and I
think people that are taking care of their dogs are being discriminated
against. You can see these dogs running around with no collars, no
licenses, nothing. 'Ihat' s the ones we have got to get.
Russell larson - If you are going to consider the errployment of your own animal
control officer you are going to have to also make some provision
for the establishment of a pound unless you can work out some
arrangement with the local veterinarian for that purfOse.
Dick M3.tthews - We have a pound already in mind in Jordan. We have talked to a
kennel owner in Jordan who would provide good clean facilities for
the anirrals and see that they are vaccinated.
M3.yor I<lingelhutz read a letter from the Jerry Neher's objecting to cat control.
Al Stenerud - We are not a dog pound. We do not go out and pick up nuisance animals.
There are a lot of eIIDtions built in with cats and dogs but their
is a great validity to leashing cats. Cats by nature are roving
type animals. Our vets see rrany rrany cats that are maimed, let
loose, hit by cars, they have gotten in rights with other cats and
they have gotten bitten by dogs. As far as rabies, one gentleman in
Minnesota did die because of cat bites. We get bit frequently at the
Humane Society because animals come to us and the owners say they
are friendly. 'Ihey do bite. We have our staff members innoculated
for rabies because we can't trust what John Q. Jones says that his
animal has had his shots. We are concerned that a pet is healthy by
getting innoculations, by requiring licensing. If a cat gets loose
we see animal wardens pick it up and say I've got your cat come out and
pick it up. If it doesn't have a license on it, whose cat is it. MAPS I
gets 15,000 animals a year and of those 12,000 to 14,000 are put to
death or for research. Very few people pick their animals up. We get
20,000 anirrals a year. I would like to say they are all adopted out
but this is not true. We do require sterilization. 'Ihe over population
is rampant. I think an ordinance is worthwhile to have, it's good
for pets.
Karen Swanson - I talked to the anirral control officer of the Minneapolis Health
Department and he said Minneapolis impounded 2,892 cats in 1975
and 30 were reclaimed. 'Ihey do not have a leashing ordinance for
cats but they are y.,¡orking to include cats.
I
Betty Schmieg - We had a dog which had to be put away because somebody else did not
tie up their dog. I am not a cat lover but can't you use a harness
type thing instead of a collar? Wouldn't it be safer? It you are
not going to have a dog catcher that is going to be around to catch
these animals and to enforce the law it's not going to do any good.
I have had children mauled in my yard because of dogs, two or three
years ago and nothing was done then except I was told to catch the
dog. I have been awakened at three and four in the morning because
I

somebodys cat was crylng under my window and I thought it Wa~ mY
kids crying and I ju:rrp out of bed. I don't appreciate that. Of all
the cats running around I have yet to see one carrying a muse. r've
seen them eating out of other animals dishes. I've seen them in
garbage cans and things like that but I have never seen them with a
rrouse. 'Ihe ordinance to me sounds good but it is going to have to
have something backing it up.
Curt Boeder - We have a nine year old siamese that we keep tied with a leash with no
problem.
Willard Johnson - I think if you do accept this ordinance, I still think you need a
ci ty employee to do the catching because it seems you y.,¡ould have
rrore control.
LuAnn Wallentine - How much does it cost to do your own dog catching?
Michael Blood - I don't know exactly. If they want that they y.,¡ould have to go to Edina
to find out but all I know is it costs less to do it ourselves than
if MAPSI were hired. For Edina it is a full time job.
Kathy Mader - I am a dog owner. I love my dog and I walk my dog with stones in my
pocket so I can throw these stones at other dogs that have come to
attack me and my dog. They get in my garbage. 'Ihey have knocked IT!Y six
year old son down and taken off his snowrrobile boots. As for your cats
I have had cats howling under my windows. I have had cats going in my
bushes and having to close the windows because you can't stand the smell.
You are talking about cats in the sane in the sand boxes, what about our
beaches where you and I sit in the sand?
Alex Krengel - Do we have to catch these dogs to fine the owner?
Dick M:ltthews - All the animal control officer has to do is establish the ownership.
It is not necessary for the animal to be impounded. All he has to do
is see it walk to your house, verify that it is your dog, and then
proceed to write a citation.
Dick Vogel - I live in a rural area of Chanhassen. I am sure I don't have the problems
people do where it's rrore congested. A dog can be lured on the road.
Where I live there is other dogs that come on my property they don't
cause a problEm and I am sure mine are on someone elses and it's a rural
area so you don't have the congestion.
Mayor KlingeJhutz - I suppose something that he said before is, we've got the ordinance
in case a problem arises. We can enforce the thing imrrediately,
we don't have to pass an ordinance first. I think this is one of
the reasons for a fairly restrictive ordinance. I do believe
though that in our dog ordinance that somewhere along the line we
have failed. Our dog ordinance, I think, is probably strict
enough but I don't think that our contract enforcement has been
sufficient to cover the 23 square miles we have. It seems to TIe
that people know when our dog catcher is in the area and then the
dogs are all tied up.
Councilnan Shulstad - I think that with all the numbers we have had tossed out I'll
throw out another one because I think it could put the whole
situation in persPective. 'Ihe biggest. problem the City has,
the corrmuni ty has, is between 20 and 30 calls are made to the
Ci ty Hall weekly about dogs and/or cats. We estimated in the
first eXfDsure at the Council level we have no idea as to how
many there actually are but we estimate there are probably around
2,000 dogs in this corrmuni ty. 'IWo thousand dogs is a good many
Public Hearing, J:v1arch 29, 1976

dogs and you spread that around 23 square miles, I think that even
if we have our own dog catcher we are not going to solve
these problems. It isn't enough to pass the ordinance, it I
isn't enough to have a single full tiffi2 inspector running
around after dogs. Possibly you have rrore than 2,000 dogs
running around you aren't going to solve the problem unless
the corrmuni ty as a whole and if they have pets take rrore
responsibili ty in caring for the pets, controlling them.
If they are oothered by other peoples pets do something.
Clyde Hehl - The ordinance is just as effective as the enforcement.
laVonne Amrhein - My dog is in my yard all day. One day the dog catcher was trying
to lure him out of the yard. He got him down as far as the road and
he knows the dog catchers truck now when the dog catchers truck COffi2S
he sits in the yard and barks but they still try to call him to
the road. I don't call that enforcing the law when the dog is in
its own yard and they are trying to lure him to the road. 'Ihen
they come to the house and say you have to have your dog tied.
If he is on your own property and stays on your property why do
you have to have him tied?
Mayor Klingelhutz - I am glad you told us about this. This is the first time we have
heard that anything like this is going on. I wish you had COffi2
sooner and maybe we could have corrected the situation. I am
glad to see that someone sees the dog catcher in town.
Councilman Kurvers How do you enforce this ordinance in Edina? I think this is
the biggest problem. Can we put the fines on taxes if they I
are not paid?
Russell larson - I would say to to that.
Councilnan Kurvers - !vbst of the time you have to collect the money or we can't afford
the dog catcher. You have to pay for the person who is doing
the catching.
Michael Blood - We have two means. We work both through the Hennepin County Municipal
Court and we use the same citations that the other officers use for
parking and speeding violations to write them a citation and in Edina
right now a citation is a $25.00 fine and that has to be paid through
the Hennepin County Municipal Court. If the citation is not taken care
of the same as a speeding or other fine you would have a warrant
signed against you at the end of about two or three weeks. All we do
is issue the citation to the owner at his home. In general we try
not to pick the dog up it we don't have to. If it I S running unleashed
we will chase it home and issue them a citation. That's the way
aoout 95% of our calls are answered. If we have a dog that doesn't
have a license and is away from home and seems lost or something like
that we try and chase them home if we can to find out where they
come from. If we can I t do that we pick the dog up. we hold i tin
the pound until the owner calls for it. In that way he is charged
impounding fees plus ooard the same type of set up that they are
asking here and that's collected at the City Hall.
Dick Matthews - The Council also by the ordinance says if they don't pay the fine
you can take them to court.

SPECIAL CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARΠ29, 1976
Mayor KlingeJhutz called the meeting to order at 9:00 p.m. with the following members
present: Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. The meeting was opened
wi th the Pledge to the Flag.
WEST 79TH STREET ALIGNMENT: LOn Hanus was present. Mr. Hanus has presented plans to
the Planning Commission for his property. He would like to purchase some of the
railroad property to include in his plans. He cannot negotiate with the railroad
until the City Council agrees on the location of the proposed street.
On September 15 the Council instructed the City Engineer to recommend a proposed
alignment for West 79th Street. The Engineer has looked at the area and has
recommended certain standards for the street. Since that time the Council and Planning
Commission have discussed this and on October 20 the Council referred it to the Planning
Conmission. 'Ihe Planning Commission ordered a public hearing to consider the PUD on
March 24. 'Ihe escrow wasn't deposited and the Planner did not proceed with ordering
the public hearing. Mr. Hanus, his engineer, the City Engineer, and the City Planner
have been y.,¡orking on the proposed alignment.
Bill Brezinsky reccrnmended the Council approve the alignment as shown on the preliminary
development plan. 'Ihis is different than the Engineer's recorrmended alignment. It
is 20 feet north of the alignment originally recommended.
The City Attorney stated that the matter of making the deposit at this time prior to
acquisition or approval of the road right-of-way alignment and in reading the ordinance,
Section 19.18 provides that this deposit may be required by the Zoning l'dministrator
prior to any consideration of any proposals advanced under the Zoning Ordinance.
He feels it is not mandatory but elective on the part of the Zoning Mministrator.
In view of the fact that Mr. Hanus cannot acquire this land from the railroad company
until he gets approval of a road alignment he felt it was appropriate that the
Council adopt a resolution to approve the alignment subject, however, to the condition
that the land be acquired fran the railroad and that then Mr. Hanus be prepared to
go forward with his plan and make his necessary escrow deposit. This is not an
approval of anything with respect to the plan except the road alignment.
Mr. Hanus stated he would like to know where he is with the railroad so he can finish
negotiations and then go ahead. If he can't conclude successful negotiations with
the railroad he will have to revise his plans.
'Ihe City Attorney asked Mr. Hanus if he recognized that he is obligated to the City in
the arrount of approximately $800 for staff work that has been expended on his project
including the road to date by reason of the fact that he tore the road out. Mr. Hanus

stated he did.
RESOLUTION #76-26: I
Councilman Shulstad moved the adoption of a resolution directing the City Attorney's
Office to prepare a resolution approving the alignment of West 79th street
through the proposed Hanus Development as exhibited on Council; s Exhibit A
dated March 29, 1976, subject to the conditions which have been expressed here
by the Engineer, City Attorney, and members of the Council with reference to the
significance of the adoption of this resolution. Resolution seconded by Councilman
Neveaux. 'Ihe following voted in favor: Mayor KlingeJhutz, Councilmen Hobbs,
Neveaux, and Shulstad. Councilman Kurvers abstained. Motion carried.
A notion was made by Councilman Neveaux and seconded by Councilman Hobbs requiring
Mr. Hanus to make the escrow deposit in the amount to be established by the Zoning
Administrator upon receipt by the City of advices from the railroad that the land
has been conveyed to Mr. Hanus and delivery of a copy of the instrument of
conveyance to the City and prior to any further Planning ComrrQssion considerations.
The following voted in favor: Mayor KlingeJhutz, Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux,
Shulstad, and Kurvers. ì\b negative votes. Motion carried.
STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 75-11: Don Schmieg and Fred Coulter were present. The
Engineer presented a supplemental report dated March 24, 1976, to the feasibility
study. 'Ihis report contains three alternate curb sections which could be used.
A - Three inch bituminous curb at a cost of $11.55 per lineal foot.
B - Six inch bituminous curb at a cost of $13.03 per lineal foot.
C - B6l8 concrete curb and gutter at a cost of $14.55 per lineal foot.
'Ihe City Attorney reconmended the City acquire an easement along the two drainage I
ways for purposes of maintaining the erosion control dams. The Engineer agreed
with the easement acquisition. 'Ihe estimated easement cost would have the affect
of raising the storm sewer assessment by approximately $42.00 a lot.
Don Schmieg asked about the storm sewer on Erie from Chan View north because the
road is about two feet higher than his property. The Engineer will take another
look at this before the public hearing.
RESOLUTION #76-27: Councilman Shulstad rroved the adoption of a resolution
acknowledging receipt of the Engineer's Feasibility Study and to schedule a public
hearing on the Chan View, West 77th Street, and Erie Avenue Street Improvement
Project 75-11 for April 12, 1976, at 7:30 p.m. in the Chanhassen Elementary School.
CounciillBn Kurversseconded the resolution. 'Ihe following voted in favor: Mayor
Klingelhutz, Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. ì\b negative iIJOtes.
M:>tion carried.
Fred Coulter - Why, when you decided to improve Frontier Trail because of the sewer
lines for Carver Beach, wasn't this whole area included? Why wasn't
it all done at once. Now it will cost me twice as much.
M:1.yor KlingeJhutz - One of the things we have found out, and we did it in the north
service area, we had a big sewer and street improvement project
and rather than have one or two contractors that could handle
that big a job we split this into five portions and gave all
the contractors a chance to bid and we feel we did better
by splitting it.
INDŒTRIAL REVENUE BONDS - BlOOMBERG HOTEL: 'Ihe City Attorney reported they did
raise the question with the ComrrQssioner's Office on the interpretation of the
statute. 'Ihe Attorney General's Office rules that it was not possible in the
seven county metro area. Since then the City Attorney has had discussions with
the Bonding Attorneys and it seems there are two conflicting opinions in the
