p~~üi~her, R.N. Dutcher, E.H. Hallenbach, Morris Mullin, L.J. Halbach,
Merilyn Turner.
The Village Attorney read the official notice of Public Hearing.
The Village Engineer, Bill Brezinsky, explained the letter of May 7, 1973
regarding Lot 9 in Minnewashta Heights and explained the four alternatives
of solutions solving the siltation and erosion problems on Lot 9.
Mr. Marr asked if the pipe would just lay on the bottom of the Lake? The
pipe would be layed 4 ft. below water level at the edge and extend out 175
feet at which point it will lay on the bottom of the lake. Mr. Marr asked
if this digging would disturb the bottom? The Village Engineer 'felt this
would not cause any problem.
The Engineer stated after the Village authorizes the project, it still has
to make application with the watershed district and conservation dept. He
felt they would have no problems with this.
I
Mr. Dutcher asked what restoration would be done after the project is com-
pleted? The asphalt will be removed on the lot and a roadway or walk way
will be placed on the 18 foot driveway to the larger section of the lot.
The rest of the lot will be graded but will not be repaved or sodded.
Mr. Halback wondered about heavy rains causing gullies on the lake lot
after the asphalt is removed.
Mr. Neveaux felt that if the pipe is 175 feet long that about 40 feet of
the pipe will be laying on the bottom of the lake. The Engineer will check
this out. Mr. Hollenback would like to see the pipe on the boat side of
the dock.
Mr. Hollenback asked about a settlement of $1,500.00 which the Village
would pay and the 80 Minnewashta Heights residents would pay the balance
of $5,200.00. He felt all residents should help pay because the entire
area would benefit. He also wanted to know how this would be assessed.
Mayor Klingelhutz felt it was too difficult to tell how it would be assessed
until the actual cost is known.
I
Mayor Kling~lhutz asked Bill Brezinsky how he can justify the fact on a
report that the Village should pay $1,500.00 toward the project. Bill
Brezinsky said he didn't report that that is what the Village should pay
and it was only a suggestion in order to settle the easement on this
project. He didn't know where the $1,500.00 figure came from.
CHANHASSEN VILLAGE COUNCIL MINUTES - July 9, 1973
PUBLIC HEARING - MINNEWASHTA HEIGHTS STORM SEWER
Mr. Russ Larson said that it was a proposal advanced to him from representa-I
tives from the Minnewashta Heights Association in a meeting they had in
June. It was a suggestion by these representatives that the Village pay
the $1,500.00 for the easements.

Mr. Hallenback stated Mr. Lempke and Lot 9 people and Mr. Tessness negotiated
the $1,500.00 figure. Councilman Wolf stated that the $1,500.00 was only
a proposed figure.
Mayor Klinglehutz asked if additional run off to the beach is caused from
the sewer in Minnewashta Heights. Bill Brezinsky stated the run off has
increased 8% over the previous run ,off.
Mr. Halback stated all the water has been directed from all other lots to
lot 9 and the run off is directed by the way the grading of the road was done.
Councilman Kurvers felt the Village had to justify the $1,500.00 and know
exactly what it is for.
Councilman Bennyhoff felt this lot would be improved a great deal. He felt
we have to justify that $1,500.00, and what benefit will the Village get?
Mr. Mullin asked if the Minnewashta Heights residents should meet again to
negotiate.
Councilman Neils asked how much more run off there is. Bill Brezinsky
stated there is approximately 20% more run off on Lot 9.

Mr. Dutcher asked for a concrete idea on what the Village would negotiate
