NORTH SERVICE AREA (contd):
I
Passed and adopted by the Council of the Village of
Chanhassen this 6th day of March, 1972.
Statements by the Council:
ACTING MAYOR BENNYHOFF stated that he had talked with
Mayor Klingelhutz tonight and the Mayor stated he felt
that this project was feasible, many need the services
badly and that he is in favor of this project.
COUNCILMAN KURVERS: It was most gratifying to see and
hear the citizens of our Village act in a business like
manner at our one informational meeting and our two
public hearings.
As a Councilman of any village it is his duty and obli-
gation to take care of such matters as we have now on
sewage.
Yes is my vote.
The reasons are:
1. The need is apparent.
2. The lakes are an asset to everyone in our Village.
These beautiful lakes need to be preserved.
3. Because of the interceptors to our Village from
Shorewood, this is the most opportune time.
I
We have studied and analyzed all of the letters we~have
received. Some of the recommendations contained in these
letters will be used to study where sewer should go in at
this time.
COUNCILMAN NEILS: Six years ago the people of the State of
Minnesota gave our elected representatives the direction
which resulted in the creation of the Metropolitan Council
and later the Metropolitan Sewer Board. The Council has
made the planning guidelines for the Chanhassen area. Chief
among these was the sewer system for rapidly growning areas
----particularly those with lakes. The metropolitan inter-
ceptor, located in Shorewood, was built with five lateral
interceptors extending to the northern border of the Village
of Chanhassen. Clearly, the intent was to prevent further
pollution of Chanhassen's lakes as well as to preserve the
quality and supply of the water table.
At the request of many residents of the village, the I
Chanhassen Village Council two years ago embarked upon a
comprehensive sewer and water study of the village. There
are ten lakes within the village limits; half of these· are
in the northern area under consideration. We have watched
the blue waters turn .green. We have been'warned by experts
like Hibbert Hill that ad~quate sewer syst~ms are vital if
