"0 .- Bill Brezinsky gave the presentation. Included in this study was Erie Avenue frqm West 78th Street to the north end of the existing private road, West 77th Street<frorn ¡ Great Plains Blvd. to its eastern end and Chan View from Frontier Trail to its e.àstern ': : end:.: In conjunction with the street irrprov-errent a solution to some of the drairlãcjè ;:' problems in the area were also studied. Because of an inadequate base the stre~ts:~: .œing considered are a continuing maintenance problem. The annual maintenance èostj on these streets is estimated to be about $1,200. The Engineer proposed to constrU¢t the streets to 7 ton capacity. The only maintenance would be sealcoating applied . aJ:x:jut every five years. The sealcoat would be applied even if the streets weren't,. irrproved. The continual application of sealcoat and asphalt has brought the streets" in the area generally to an elevation above the adjacent lawns. The runoff from the.. streets then goes from the streets to the yards and along the edge of the blacktop. 'llie Engineer proposes that if these streets are upgraded that there be a general löwering of all the streets so that wherever possible the runoff would be from the lawns into the streets and be contained within the streets. The streets are proposed to be 28 feet wide and widening be done equally on either side except for the private 'rQad portion of Erie which would be widened on the east. I The Engineer recommended cul-de-sacs at the end of Erie and West 77th Street. Chan View would not have a cul-de-sac now but if the City builds a utility building at that location a turn around would be built. Three alternate curb sections are provided. 1. - Three inch asphalt. 2. - Six inch asphalt. ,3.

The Engineer recomnended that these services be installed at this time so that the streets won't have to be torn up again. The area was divided into three drainage areas. An existing six inch tile drains the interior part of Blocks 1 and 4. The Engineer recommended to eliminate the problem the six inch tile line be replaced with a 12 inch pipe running along Erie and an 18 inch pipe across the Rojina property to the drainage way. The remaining runoff from Area A will flow to the streets and along the streets to a low point at Erie and West 77th streets. He recorrmended that three catch basins be placed at the intersection to pick up the runoff. The cost of the storm sewer would be assessed against all private property in Drainage Area A. The estimated cost would be 5¢ a square foot for each square foot of property that contributed to this system. The runoff from Drainage Area B flows to another creek which is connected with the creek in Drainage Area A and ends up in lotus Lake. The Engineer recorru:nended that with this improvement the drainage would flow to a low point on Erie and two catch basins and 18 inch pipe to pick up the water and direct it into the ditch. The estimated cost would be l¢ a square foot. The runoff from Drainage Area C flows to the road and would flow to a low area and ultirrately under State Highway 101. The Engineer did not recorrrnend a storm sewer in this area. This area probably will be assessed in the future for storm sewer improvement in the Highway 101 area which is currently under study by the Highway Department. If the project was authorized by the City, work could be conpleted this year and be assessed this fall with payments beginning in 1977. The City Planner gave a report. The Planning CommQssion reviewed the inprovement project and feels that the street improvements are consistent with the intent of the Canprehensive Plan. The meeting was opened for comments from the floor. Fred Coulter - Why do these streets have to be 28 feet wide? All of these streets are dead end streets and are not collectors for any particular area. This would reduce the cost per foot from $11. 55 to $10.75 for a 26 foot wide street or $9.95 for a 24 foot wide street. This would be a considerable savings. M:tyor Klingelhutz - This was passed in the City Ordinance. There is the possibility that it could be lowered somewhat. Frontier Trail will be 28 feet from West 78th Street to 77th Street and then it cuts down to 26 feet. This is something that the Council will take into consideration if we decide to put in these streets. Fred Coulter - I notice infonration that was sent to me that has ao::::Iuisition of right of way for street widening purposes I assurœ that I s for the area on Erie Avenue. I was wondering if there was any possibility of the City approaching these people to give the land thereby again cutting down the cost. Craig Mertz - We always try to acquire property for a very small fee. Fred Coulter - At this time there are no erosion control dams and according to the feasibili ty study you plan to put two erosion control dams, one on the Hedtke property and one on deLancey's property. What is the increase in volume of water that I s going to be coming from Drainage Areas A and B and will these erosion control dams stop Lot 12 being washed into lotus lake? M:tyor Klingelhutz - We are trying to improve something that has been happening in the past by these erosion control dams. , I I I " C· I I Chan View, Erie,' ·apd:.

Is this correct? Have any of the people living on these horres complained? M3.yor Klingelhutz - We have had several requests from different people in the area requesting these improvements. The M3.intenance Ceparbnent advised us years ago that this is one of the areas that streets should be I improved in Chanhassen because those streets never did have a majorlimprovement. It was sealcoated on top of black ground and, . grave . Sally deLancey - The project was not pushed by the people that are living in this area, is that correct? ,Mayor Klingelhutz - We have not had a petition to have these streets irrproved but we have had a lot of complaints from the people in the area that the streets are in poor condition. Sally deLancey - You say $1,200 a year to improve these streets. The minimum cost of this project is $83,000. If you take the $1200 a year and average that out over the $83,000 you are going to throw on these few people, it's 70 years. How in the world can you think that this is equitable. I cannot see any justification for this. The streets need improving yes, I will agree with that, but do they need $83,000 worth? Does the deLancey property need to be ripped to pieces again because you are going to throw tons more water. Don Schmieg - I happen to be one of the people that drown when the water doesn't get changed. Anybody that lives down there knows where I sit, right on the corner of Chan View and Erie. The street is alxmt a foot and a half to two foot higher than my lot all the water that corres down Chan View runs down in my yard. If I understood Bill right they are going to lower the street sorrewhat but the way it is now six inches wouldn't do the trick on Chan View at all. My lot is quite a bit lower than that. I Bill Brezinsky - The roads will be lowered not enough to take it out from the low area, however, the road grades can be adjusted enough so that the runoff will drain to the road but not directly. Don Schmieg - On the other drainage area you have no sewer assessment down on my property down there. Bill Brezinsky - I haven't shown the sewer service. We are going to put sanitary sewer and will serve the area west of Erie. Earl McAllister - Has there been any provision set aside for sewer or water on the east side of Erie. Bill Brezinsky - Services will be added at this time. Earl McAllister - Will the existing culverts on the driveways be eJminiated? Bill Brezinsky - Yes, they will. M3.yor Klingelhutz - The road will be lowered and the water will come directly onto the blacktop. Annie Iverson - What about these people on fixed incorres? That would be an awful tax burden. Mayor Klin:jelhutz - It is not the object to throw anybody out of their homes. Frances Jacques - Would I be assessed for frontage on 77th Street? I paid full coverage on Great Plains Blvd. Mayor Klingelhutz - If you paid front footage on one side you sure wouldn't be assessed for over 50% on the other side. Sargent Palmer - Anybody ever talked to a lawyer about getting an easerrent to run this water over my property? Bill Brezinsky - Yes. The Attorney has refOrted to the Council that he felt the City should have an easement along these drainage ways for rraintenance of the erosion control dams and the water ways and any other work tha t needs to be done in the future. i I I I Chan View, Erie, and West 77th Street Public Hearing, April 12, 1976 ,...5,... Mayor Klingelhutz - The project has not been approved by the Council. They don't send the Attorney out in the field to get easements until such time as the project has been approved. Vernon Zetah - I don't need a $6,000 assessment. Jerry Neher - I will speak in favor of it. If I build up rrw driveway I plug the whole thing up and it backs up to the neighbors. In 1965 the culvert across Erie plugged up it could happen again. The street is to high in that particular spot and our lots just won't drain out. I do argue with the drainage plan there as far as drainage in the back end of the north lots across Block 3 there is only about 45 feet that drains onto that street on West 77th Street. I am in favor of the project. Ted Garvais - All the lots slope toward the rear and the water comes down to the ditch and then to the street. I was wondering if anything was in those plans for that ditch. So far I have been maintaining it. Every year I have to shovel slushy snow out of there to keep the water moving or it would come to rrw back door. Bill Brezinsky - We have considered stonn sewer within the area but only in the street area. We haven't looked into doing anything on private property. We aren't proposing any stonn sewer at all in Area C. We will look at it. LOn Schmieg - I am definitely in favor of the project in fact I went up and asked for it. Councilman shulstad - I would encourage both proponents and opponents of the proposal to submi t petitions to the City Council. Paul Rojina - If you put the roads in down there is it going to happen like it did on Laredo? What is the lifetime of a 9 ton road? Laredo was put in according to specifications and I don't know where the inspector was but it's breaking up now and that's a 9 ton. What would the guarantee be? I don't care to pay for somebodys mistakes like that. Bill Brezinsky - We feel that a 7 ton road with the traffic that these roads will carry wi th sealcoating every five years will essentially last forever if they are properly installed. Paul Rojina - A lot of the fill was put in on Laredo after 4 or 5:00 p.m. and that's I think one of the big problems. They were trying to get it done and nobody was watching them. There should be engineers out there watching night and day. It's nw taxes that are going to help pay to redo Laredo just because somebody goofed up. I just don't want that to happen down there then you might as well leave it the way it is. Judy Schmieg - Can't special assessments be deferred for senior citizens until the time they sell their home? Mayor Klingelhutz - We did some of this in the north service area. We have to have proof of financial problems before we can do it. It could be done in the future. A motion was rrade by Councilman Hobbs and seconded by Councilman Kurvers to close the public hearing. The following voted in favor: M3.yor Klingelhutz, Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. No negative votes. M8eting closed at 8:50 p.m. A motion was made by Councilman Kurvers and seconded by Councilman Shulstad to table a decision until the first meeting in M3.y to give the people time to send in COIl'UT'ents and the City Engineer has time to study drainage problems raised tonight. The following voted in favor: Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. No negative votes. M:Jtion carried. LOn Ashworth, Clerk-Administrator SPECIAL CHANHASSEN CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 12, 1976 Mayor Klingelhutz called the meeting to order at 9:10 p.m. with the following members present: Councilmen Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Nierœyer, Tim Stone, Bill MJreno, Jerry Poucher, Henry Wrase, and Jerry schlenk were present. CARVER BEAŒ GUIDE PlAN AMENDMENI': Craig Mertz explained there are three actions the Council can take. The Council can either act on the Planning Commission reconmenda tions to approve the amendments in total or can act on the recormnendations and disapprove them in total or approve them with modifications. If the Council approves or disapproves the proposed amendments in its whole would require a 3/5 vote. If the Council wants to make modifications of the Planning Commission recomrrendations a 4/5 vote is required. I The Planning Commission recorrmendations of Ix1arch 31, 1976, were discussed. Councilman Kurvers - I think that particularly Huron is owned by all the people in the ci ty of Chanhassen. According to the plan of Carver Beach, I think it is wrong. The Ci ty of Chanhassen does not own the land along Huron. 'Ihe people that own the land have a right to build a house on it and they can have their access off of Huron. I think it should be blacktopped. Councilman Hobbs - I think in light of the 50 or 60 pages of material we have had and the verbal corrments we have had that I guess I can't honestly say at this particular point in tirœ whether I think it should be blacktopped or not. When I was reading the Planning Corrmission minutes of March 31, 1976, I thought Bruce r s comrents were very I apropos. I think that the people that live in Carver Beach realize that if this road is not blacktopped at this time and this Councilor sorœ other Council decides in the future after looking at such things as how the ownership patterns develop, what happens with the DNR, what happens to the total City Corrprehensive Plan and we decide to go back in there and blacktop it, it's going to be blacktopped at an increased cost. In fact I know they are aware of it because I have talked to several of them and they feel that is a price they are willing to pay to wait and see how viable this plan is going to be. I am not smart enough right now to know whether it should or shouldn't be paved and I don 1 t feel at this particular point in time I could vote for blacktopping. Councilman Shulstad - I am really right aJ:out exactly where Walt is. I agree with the City Planner's final position on this as well as the position of the Chairman of the Planning Commission. I think we have the time to take a look at what happens. We have sorœ tine to find out if the Carver Beach Plan is valid. I disagree with Frank saying that the plan should be changed. I like the plan. I would like to give it a chance to see if it will work. In the March 31 meeting Bill says we could live with it for awhile I interpret that to be maybe one or btlo winters. I don't know ei ther if Huron should be paved but I am not convinced at this point that is should be therefore I can't vote to have it paved either. I Mayor Klingelhutz - The main point at this time is it's the only road into an area. It is the only road for any type of protection, fire, police, medical Emergency, ambulance, tornado and there are rrany big trees down there. If one fell over the road these people would be Special Council M8eting April 12, 1976 -7- I landlocked in there and knowing the condition of the road ~ its present state, the way it reacts to the weather in the spring of the year. I think the City would be remiss in not giving these people a road that can be depended on, at least one road. What happens when the road gets blocked. Who are these people going to blame then? Are they going to say the City of Chanhassen was negligent in only providing one road for the area? These same people came to us a few years ago and said we only have one road into Carver Beach it is dangerous and they asked the City to give than another road so they have two accesses. If the City or the people that live down in that area want to buy up the land sanetime in the future and all have their access on Carver Beach Road, fine, but I don't think the City should be held liable for closing a road that the public access to parcels of property at the present time. Councilman Neveaux - It's not a question of black and white. I don't think all the options are in. It's really bothering me. I felt back in 1972 when we were discussing the Guide Plan of Carver Beach that it was a good plan and I don't think we have given it enough chance to see what it can do. I tend to side with Walt. I see ten out of 16 people do not want it blacktopped. It makes me think all the rrore that we shouldn't blacktop it. I don't think we are going to lose anything by waiting a year or two years to give the plan a little rrore chance to shake itself down. I think the advent of the availability of sewer and water in the area is going to be qui te a shaping influence on the kinds of development. I don't think that by not blacktopping it now is going to change the availability of anergency vehicle access to the area.
