has done to date on this project. Scholer stated that the Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the use
of the land for a golf course subject to the following:
1. Assurance of a dedicated roadway of a width and design approved
by the Village Engineer to a minimum standard of base sealcoat
and chips from section line where Village maintenance ends to
subject property.
2, Preservation of the public §pace along the creek conforming
to the intent of the Generalized Guide Plan assuring easement
or ownership for sanitary sewer construction.
The Planning Commission also felt that a Public Hearing was not
needed for rezoning of this property because the golf course
use does conform with our present zoning.

Inc. explained to the Council the proposed plans of the Recreational
Land Development Corporation. The property is located West of
Haller Nursery overlooking muff Creek in Section 26, Township 116,
and Range 23W, composed of approximately 230 acres. An eighteen (18)
hole golf course will occupy approximately 135 acres. Also
included in the plans are a driving range, putting green, tennis
courts, an olympic size pool, a complete exercise center, sauna,
locker room, and club house. The total investment excluding fixtures
and equipment will cost approximately $250,000.00. Stocks will be
offered to the public to raise approximately $600,000.00. Three
classes of membership will be available: The golf plan includes
social and dining membership for $350.00 per year¡ Recreational
plan $50.00 per year; Social plan for $15.00 per year. The
development completion schedule is tentatively planned as follows:
Fall of 1970 - Club House Completion
Summer of 1971 - Golf Course Completion
Mr. Tietz explained the reason he was present was to present this
plan to the Council and to get the necessary rezoning and make
a formal applicatiòn for a liquor license.
CHANHASSEN VILLAGE COUNCIL MINUTES - January 26, 1970
The Village Attorney, Russell Larson, reported that under the
Township Zoning Ordinance, which is presently enforced, the
present zoning of this property (Farm Residential) does permit
the golf course use, but would recommend to the Council that
a Public Hearing be held to establish a record for use in
the future, that a Public Hearing was held. Larson also stated
that at the Public Hearing a full disclosure be made as to what
type and where the use is to be put; formal liquor license
application, listing the sharehoLders, type of stock, and the
voting rights the stockholders will carry.
