EAST IDTUS LAKE FEASIBILITY STUDY: Bill Brezinsky e:xplained the feasibility study.
The Engineers are considering the feasibility of providing sanitary sewer and water
service to all houses and vacant lots in the area east and north of Lotus Lake.
They have divided the area into three smaller areas.
Area A is south of Colonial Grove on the east side of Lotus Lake. The best way to
serve this area with sewer is to install a line along the lake shore . Water would
be supplied to all existing houses from the line along Highway 101. He suggested
that water not be run to the hones that are a long distance from the water line

Public Hearing April 19, 1976
-2-
Councilman Neveaux - I was just wondering how the assessm=nt procedqre is going to be
handled on people that have blacktop streets and those that don't.
Bill Brezinsky - The cost of blacktopping would be separated out. The people who
are on a gravel road would have a srraller assessment.
I
The hearing was opened for OJIT'[[1ents from the floor.
Nadine Collver - We were wondering about this division of blacktopping and gravel.
Don't the people that live on a street have anything to say about
what goes in front of their house or is it just automatic blacktop
or gravel or the way it is or what is the deal on that? We have
fought against sewer and water from the beginning because we did not
want the ecology interrupted out there. We had blacktop streets
in Minneapolis and water and we moved out here to get rid of it.
Now we are facing the same thing again. 'We didn't want it. 'Well,
we got it so we are going to go along with it. If you are going to
cane in and do a project why in the world don I t you do every road
the same in the place. What is the difference? I just wonder what
the score is. How cane that all these little streets that are now
being added how come it wasn I t in the original plans of this
improvement?
Mayor Klingelhutz - The feasibility stu::ly was taken out of the Carver Beach Guide
Plan. The Carver Beach Association plus City staff, Engineers
and Planning Canrnission made the Guide Plan.
Nadine Collver - The Carver Beach Property CMners Association does not speak for all
property owners. It speaks only for a certain group that belongs to
that association. Surely the rest of the ta:xpayers out there have
something to say just because they don't belong to that association'l
I feel that the government in Chanhassen does a wonderful job.
I don I t think we need two governments. The Guide Plan says, but who
says this Guide Plan is legal if it doesn't include the voice of
all the people. It's not right. I am for Devils Slide being
blacktopped. That is the worst road in Carver Beach. It has cost
Chanhassen Village, I am sure, a lot of money to maintain it.
I am sure the gravel washes out right away. It I s just a hopeless
case. It really does need blacktopping. We don't especially want
blacktopping up on Kiowa. Our gravel road is wonderful up there.
If you are going to blacktop it let's blacktop the whole place and
be done with it. Make everybodies assessment equal.
M3.yor Klingelhutz - I pretty much agree with what you just said but I am only one
voice here. I guess the public hearings that were held previously
probably were the time you should have come and spoke your peace.
Jack Ernst - I will have to say that it does look like special treatment for some
areas. That part I will have to agree with. I have no quarrel as
seldan as I drive the road I don't have any problem there but I have to
agree with the lady that it does seem like certain segrænts are getting
special treatment and I believe that that was sanewhat brought out at
some of the hearings.
Council.rran Hobbs - Just a couple of co:rtTflents to put everything in perspective. First
of all as far as the Carver Beach Guide Plan it was the Association
along with the Planning Commission, along with the City Staff,
along with the Engineers and it's my understanding that there
were public hearings held in developnent of this Guide Plan.
It wasn I t three or four people telling everyone what to do.
I think there were public hearings held on the sewer and water
and street irrprovenent project. The Guide Plan was irrplemented
and then the sewer project was separate using some of the basis
I

that were drafted on the Guide Plan as a guide on how they were
going to approach it. As far as the particular roads go that we
are discussing tonight Devils Slide, the Council last MJnday night
requested the Engineers to study changing the grade on the road.
I think. it was the feeling of this Council that we all know that
that road is very steep and it has a very sharp curve and to
sirrply go in and pave it doesn't solve the problem. We haven't
changed our basic attitude on the fact that it shows paved up
there and it may well be paved. We are asking, let's take another
look ('.an we straighten it out, can we get rid of so:rre of that
grade because I think. as the people that drive it know, it's
certainly not a good road now by the same token in the middle of
December if we have a light rain and it freezes over on the gravel
you are in no better shape when you go down there. As far as Huron
goes I think. it was the feeling of the majority of the Council that
a t this particular point in time they agree with the philosophy
of the Carver Beach Development Guide and we felt that it should
have a year or two to see if it's going to work itself out in
terms of ownership, the way the property developes down there,
whether these parcels are canbined and people front on Huron and
Carver Beach Road or they stay separate. I for one voted to leave
the road gravel at this particular point in tiIœ and said that as
the years go by we may well change our minds but I felt that it
was premature at this tiIœ to change that plan until we see what
happens. I don' tthink. anybody can tell you for fact what is going
to happen but the decisions that were made up here were in no way
made in terms of who's going to get a gravel road or blacktop road
anyrrore than who's going to get sewer or who's going to get water.
We were trying to look at the broad scope on how we can best serve
this whole area.
Nadine Collver - Some of those roads don't really have to be blacktopped because there
isn't that much traffic on them. There isn't that much traffic on
Kiowa now.
O1arles Collver - I wonder why we didn't know about this meeting a week ago. The one
that you say you had on M::>nday night. This is the only notice that
we have had of a meeting. Was it all cut and dried before this
meeting tonight?
Nadine Collver - We did not get any notices. I don't know why we didn't get it because
I am sure we would have been there with bells on. That's why there
is so much trouble now. There is so much misunderstanding on the
beach. There are so rrany people who feel that when a letter or
soræthing is written by the association it should be signed by the
people who belong to that association and were at that ræeting. The
rest of the proPerty owners and taxpayers resent being represented
by someone that they ddldn't vote for because we don't belong to that
association. We didn't know for sure what was going on here.
This Guide Plan, this is something new. I am sure we should have
all had a copy and read it thoroughly and debated about the part
that we didn't understand. It's kind of late now, I know.
O1arles Collver - I am through with the homeowners association. They are obsolete.
They should be out of business years ago when our Council and Mayor
first came in here. Why can't you stand up to somebody like that?
Councilman Kurvers - I just want to answer you. Your corrments are valid and the .Mayor
and myself have been on your side 100% because I think. you people
that live out there and don't want the association have just
Public Hearing April 19, 1976
-4-
as much right as the people that belong to the association. We
have been on your side and we need rrore people like you
because I think that is governrænt not just any railroad
and I agree with you that is what took place in this instance.
I
Jack Ernst - I believe the Engineer said that the people that lived along there
would benefit from a little lower cost, is that what I understood?
Bill Brezinsky - The people who have gravel roads instead of blacktop will be
assessed less.
Jack Ernst - I am penalized because the people down below need to get out. They
get a break on their assessment and I don't. I have no objections to
that other one not being oiled but the way I understood this was an
overall deal where and now all at once not only are they getting
treated a little bit differently than the rest. They are also be
be getting their way they are getting a smaller assessrænt.
Councilman Neveaux - I don't think anybody is being treated differently. Everybody
is being treated equally for benefit received. The people that
have been discussed as having been getting a better break on it
are not getting a road into their property. I feel they are
getting the short end of the stick as far as the project goes.
At some point in time we are going to have to put a blacktop
road in there. It might be Huron in the future, it might be
some road from the north. Tha t 's the reason I voted not to
put blacktop on Huron because I wasn't sure that that was
going to be the rrain access into that northeast area of Carver
Beach at this time. We might find in a year or two years as
development progresses that Huron is the only access into that
particular part of Carver Beach. If that happens those people
will pay that assessment for Huron. Right now they are not
getting that benefit. They are not getting a blacktop street
so why should they pay for a blacktop street. The rest of the
residents are getting blacktop streets. I think they should
pay for it.
I
Jerry Heydt - I would just as soon have Devils Slide blacktopped. As it is I am
not going to get it blacktopped. I am wondering if a year from now
you decide to blacktop it and I get assessed for it, will I get
assessed for it at the same price that I am getting deducted for it
now? They will knock maybe $300 to $400 off now because I will have
some blacktop to my place but not all of it. They pave Devils Slide
do I just have to pay the $300 or whatever is knocked off now or do I
get socked the whole assessment?
Charles Collver - If they blacktop these roads and leave Devils Slide without blacktop,
have your engineers made a study of where the water is going to?
There is not going to be a Devils Slide anyrrore. If all of this
blacktop water canes down this blacktop road down onto Devils Slide
there is not going to be a Devils Slide. It's going to be down
in the bottom of lDtus Lake.
Mayor Klingelhutz - I think the recanrændation of the Engineer to pave Devils Slide
is valid. I think Devils Slide should be paved. I can see
that there can be some improvements on Devils Slide but I am
wondering if it isn I t to late to think about those I
improvements now that it shouldn't be paved with the job at the
present time.
Bill Brezinsky - We are stu::lying it now. We are looking into the possibility of
maybe lengthing or soræhow making the slope less steep on Devils
Slide. We expect to have that stu::ly done soon along with a
drainage study of the area. When we get that completed we will
give it to the Council and the Council will again consider it.
I

Public Hearing April 19, 1976

We are just saying for the tirœ being right now we are not going to
pave it but we feel we will have this study done in time to pave
Devils Slide on this project.
Nadine Cbllver - These roads that are not being blacktopped, when they are blacktopped
will this cost go allover the beach again?
.Mayor Klingelhutz - Tb the benefitted property owners.
Ml::'s. Gordon 'Ibck - I live down on the corner of 66th and Huron. You say Huron is not
going to be paved. What is going to become of the ditches along
the side? Those ditches have not been dug out in the last two
years and the water is running allover our property in the front.
What is going to be done about that?
Bill Brezinsky - We plan on cleaning up those ditches and improving them. We hadn't
planned on piping the water to the lake. This ditch can be designed
so that the water will be slowed and there won't be as much erosion
as there is now. We considered putting a pipe in and piping the
water down to the lake. What happens is that the water gets down
there faster through the pipe and erodes the lake shore and there
is a lot of siltation on the lake.
Nadine Collver - Is there any plans in the future to run 67th street all the way
through?
Bill Brezinsky - The plans now are to build a cul-de-sac at the end.
Nadine Collver - The reason why I ask is because of the tine we had the tornado the
main road was blocked. There was no place to go.
Charles Collver - Have you found a location for a cul-de-sac on Kiowa?
Bill Brezinsky - We are still trying to find a place to put one.
Charles Collver - I will donate enough property there to make one. If you can find
a way to put it in. I hate to see it in the middle of the block
but I guess that's what we are going to have to settle for. We
do want snowplow service and we do want them to get in there and be
able to get out again. There is too much of a drop off at the end
of Kiowa for a cul-de-sac.
Mayor Klingelhutz - I wish you people had been here sooner and made the same comœnts
you did at the time of the first public hearing was held. I think
it could have changed the picture of a lot of things. It could
have saved a lot of problems for us. I think we have been quite
accorrmodating. If it ever happens again don't wait until the
last public hearing, speak your peace at the first public hearing
so that your imput can do some good. Once the decision and the
bids are made it's awful hard to change a project.
A notion was made by Councilman Neveaux and seconded by Councilman Hobbs to close the
public hearing. The following voted in favor: Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilmen Hobbs,
Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. No negative votes. Hearing adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

I
Bernie Schneider - The ŒD net this afternoon and they have made a IIDtion and
seconded that the Cbuncil close the public hearing on the ŒD
Parking lDt and defer any action until the ŒD would make a
reconmendation to the Council which will be sul:rni tted wi thin two
weeks. There is no particular purpose in keeping the hearing
open any longer and we are very close to an agreement of all the
affected property owners and this should be resolved within the
next week and we will cone in with a total program and costs for
the Council's consideration.
Russell Larson - If they coræ in with a proposal joined in by all of the property
owners which is acceptable to the Council and there is a change
even an enlargenent of the cost aspect of it, if the City has the
consent of all of the property owners in the project the public
hearing can be waived.
Bruce Pankonin - The IIDSt conterrporary of the ŒD plans has the same number of
parking spaces that we originally started with. The shape is a
little bit different.
I
Bernie Schneider - What the ŒO will be doing is making a proposal to the City
Council and the City Council can either accept or reject it
or make recormnendations and refer it back to the ŒD. I think
that this would be in the best interests of all at this
particular time that the hearing be closed because there is no
point in continuing it any further. There is no outside interest
outside of the affected property owners, business association, and
the City Council. The parking lot is going to be the same size
as we originally stated. There has been a change in the property
owners within the last IIDnth and this has sonewhat delayed it.
A motion was made by Councilman Kurvers and seconded by Councilman Neveaux to close
the public hearing. The following voted in favor: Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilrœn
Hobbs, Neveaux, Shulstad, and Kurvers. No negative votes. Hearing closed at 9:00
p.m.
