Dear Mayor Chimel:
11 The Southwest Corridor Transportation Coalition is an
organization of businesses and local governments which have
joined together to work for improvements to the highway
II network in our area. We have chosen to give priority to the
widening of Trunk Highway (TH) 5 between Interstate 494 and
TH 41 and to the construction of new U.S. Highway 212 between
II I-494 and Norwood. These roads have great importance to
agriculture and business truck traffic as well as the needs
of the growing number of businesses and residents of the
southwestern area of our state.
IIThe Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has
recently announced its intention to build the first phases
II of new U.S. Highway 212 beginning in 1993 . This announcement
is of major importance to our area. But the job is not done.
il To ensure that this major project is not delayed, the
Coalition is working with our Congressional delegation to
obtain 1991 funding for TH 212 design. The Coalition is also
working with MnDOT to schedule the contract letting dates for
II TH 212 improvements and •the remaining portions of the
improvements to TH 5.
II During the past three years, the Coalition has been active in
efforts to secure the earliest possible construction of the
new Highway 212 and TH 5 improvements. For example, the
Coalition has:
11 * Facilitated the joint powers agreement among the
Cities of Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and Chaska, Carver
I County, Hennepin County and MnDOT relating to design
of the widening of TH 5 in Eden Prairie and
Chanhassen;
II
II
1
I
* Facilitated the joint powers agreement amount Eden
11 Prairie, Chanhassen, Chaska, Carver County, Hennepin
and MnDOT relating to funding of the EIS on new TH
212 ;
* Promoted increased transportation funding before the
Legislature;
* Promoted programming of improvements to TH 5 and
construction of new U.S. Highway 212 before MnDOT;
* Supported a joint powers agreement among Chanhassen,
Chaska and Carver County to jointly study the highway
network ancillary to TH 41 and U.S. Highway 212 ; and
* Encouraged state agencies to conduct a study of the
economic impact of a Highway 212.
The Coalition's goals for 1991 are:
1. Work to secure federal or other funding for
1 Highway 212.
2 . Maintain oversight over and commitment to the
scheduled improvements to TH 5.
3 . Obtain the design and construction scheduling of
TH 5 from Park Drive to TH 41.
4 . Build our membership base particularly in the
western portion of the corridor.
In the past years, our efforts have been financed by public
and private sector contributions. To continue our work we
are beginning an effort to obtain membership and
•
contributions from private organization and public agencies
located along the corridor.
We view our role as being that of a catalyst to action and a
unifying force for all public and private organizations which
will benefit by improvement of these roads. The Coalition
hopes that your organization will agree that the Coalition
has been and can be helpful to you.
A representative of the Coalition will be calling upon you
within the near future to discuss the Coalition's program and
the willingness of your organization to contribute to the
effort to obtain the earliest widening of TH 5 and
construction of the new U.S. Highway 212. A schedule of
amounts which we are asking units of government to contribute
to the Coalition and to the design of TH 5 from Park Drive to
TH 41 is enclosed. We hereby request that the City of
11
I : '
II
Chanhassen donate $10, 000 to these purposes during calendar
year 1991 ($5, 000 of which would be paid for design of TH 5
from Park Drive to TH 41 and $5, 000 of which would be
contributed to the Coalition to help finance its programs
described above) .
1 We now have a great opportunity to get new U.S. Highway 212
built. Please help us to achieve that goal. We thank you
1 for your past support and assistance in the TH 5 project.
Very truly yours,

forwarded to the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. The Managers
noted that the basis for the program was a December 1989 agreement
between the MPCA and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The

1 Dear Principal .
As you may be aware, RED RIBBON WEEK is' quickly approaching
I (October 22-28 1990 ) . RED RIBBON WEEK is an anti-drug awareness
campaign that actually began after a narcotics agent was murdered
in Mexico . The red ribbon came to symbolize America ' s concern
Ifor the drug problem.
Chanhassen Mayor Don Chmiel is committed to all efforts to
confront the problems that drugs create in our society. As a
' part of his efforts , we would like to provide you with a red
ribbon banner , which can be flown on your flag pole at school .
as well as literature to send home with your students .
IIMayor Chmiel has recommended that we sponsor an essay contest
for children to state why they believe drugs are bad, and what
I they can do to help prevent drug abuse. We would provide some
sort of prize for winning entries .
Upon receipt of this letter, I would appreciate your contacting
I me so that we can discuss these possibilities . I look forward
to hearing from you!

' I would like to extend a thank you to the members of the Housing

important to a growing community. They give residents an oppor-
tunity to socialize and communicate, which leads to the develop-
ment of many new partnerships and relationships.
II . Special events focus the area' s attention on Chanhassen, allowing
businesses an opportunity to provide support and to take pride in
' their business location. Providing local special events affords
residents and business people an opportunity to be recognized as
a community. Over the years, the Housing and Redevelopment
' Authority has significantly contributed toward ensuring that
these good things continue. I am confident you recognize the
many benefits of doing so.

Dear Mr. Warren,
Just a short note to let you know that we support with great enthuiasm the idea
of having a walking path incorporated into the plans for Minnewashta Parkway.
We lived at the end of Red Cedar Point for 25 years before we moved up here 4
years ago, and we've spent more than one hour hiking on the road (and picking
I up cans and bottles and trash) . The idea of having a better-defined path or
trail has great appeal for us.

IRe: Radon Action Week , October 15-19
IDear Ann .
As we have discussed in the past , the Chanhassen Public Safety
Department . will be participating in RADON ACTION WEEK . What we
I would like to do is simply take advantage of this event to help
expand awareness of radon .
I I have arranged with the American Lung Association to have alpha-
track detectors provided to the City Council and Public Safety
Commission , and would like to suggest that the paper consider
having a photograph of these people learning about their radon
I detectors . possibly being addressed by someone from the American
Lung Association. You might want to talk with Building Official
Steve Kirchman about radon, and we certainly have sufficient
I information to help with any sort of a story you might want to
consider .
I It would be nice if we could get something in the paper
during the week of October 15-19 , and I would be happy to arrange
a time for photos , etc. , at your convenience (possibly the week
I before?) . Thank you for considering this request . I look forward
to hearing from you. •

Dear Mr. Chaffee:
Thank you for contacting my office to express your opposition to
the elimination of state income tax deductibility as a way to
' reduce the federal deficit.
I support the continued deductibility of state and local income
taxes. I am concerned that such a proposal would dramatically
' increase the already heavy tax burden which Minnesotans bear.
I believe deficit reduction ought to be achieved through cutting
spending across the board on all programs, not through tax
increases . America is not undertaxed. In my judgment, spending
cuts in both domestic and entitlement programs, combined with a
significant decrease in the, defense budget, should be our first
choice .
Should taxes be a component of a Summit agreement, I will work to
' ensure that no one group is unfairly burdened. Whatever pain is
involved in reducing the budget deficit should be spread evenly
throughout the country. •
' The benefit of your counsel is much appreciated.

loth' Bill Frenzel

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION AND RESOLUTION FOR THE MERGER
OF THE VILLAGE OF CHANHASSEN, CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA WITH
THE TOWN OF CHANHASSEN, CARVER COUNTY, MINNESOTA
' The petition for the merger of the Village of Chanhassen
of the Counties of Carver and Hennepin and the Town of Chanhassen
' Carver County, Minnesota was filed with the Minnesota Municipal
Commission on the lst day of April, 1966, and the resolution
of the Village Council of the Village of Chanhassen for the
merger of the Village of Chanhassen and the Town of Chanhassen,
Carver and Hennepin Counties. Minnesota was filed on the 1st
' day of April, 1966. This petition and resolution came on for
hearing before the Minnesota Municipal Commission on July 7,
1966, and August 17, 1966, in the Carver County Court House,
Chaska, Carver County, Minnesota and after publication and
posting of the proper notices pursuant to the authority and
responsibility under Minnesota Statutes 414.02, Subd. 5.
The Commission takes note of the fact that at this time
there is a petition pending for the incorporation of the Town
of Chanhassen. However, the petitioners for the incorporation
and the Town Board have stated that they believe the merger of
the Town of Chanhassen and Village of Chanhassen is preferable
to the incorporation of the Town of Chanhassen alone. The
Commission is issuing its present order for the merger of the
Town and Village of Chanhassen at this time because it also
believes the merger is preferable to incorporation of the Town
' of Chanhassen. The commission will seek an extension of time
for the filing of its decision in connection with the incorpora-
tion petition until after the merger has become effective. When
the merger becomes effective the incorporation petition will
then be denied. If for some reason the merger fails to become
I
' effective; the commission will then review the proceedings in
connection with the incorporation petition and make a decision
' based upon thos-, proceedings.
APPEARANCES WERE MADE BY:
II Vance B. Grannis, Jr., Grannis & Grannis, F. J. Schult Building,

and exhibits, being fully advised in the premises, upon all
' the files, records, and proceedings herein, hereby makes the
following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I.
' The petition of the freeholders of the Town of Chanhassen
and Resolution of the Village of Chanhassen for the consolida-
tion of the Town and Village of Chanhassen was filed pursuant
to and in compliance with Minnesota Statutes 414.; and said
' Petition and Resolution were in all respects proper in form,
contents and execution.
II.
' Notice of the hearing on the Petition and Resolution for
{ the consolidation of the Town of Chanhassen and Village of
' Chanhassen was duly given as required by statute. The Commission
I --2--
1 IP/
' convened by a lawful quorum at the scheduled hearing. All
parties of record for and against said Petition and Resolution
' were present at, and participated in the hearings.
III.
The area to be incorporated and consolidated as a new
' municipality is the entire Town of Chanhassen, Carver County,
Minnesota and the entire Village of Chanhassen, Carver and
' Hennepin Counties, Minnesota.
IV.
' The area of the Town of Chanhassen and Village of Chanhassen
is approximately 1$, 124 acres.
V.
The population of the Town of Chanhassen and the Village
of Chanhassen as estimated by the most recent estimate of the
' Metropolitan Planning Commission is: Town 3,765 and Village -
563, total 4,32$.
II VI.
Approximately 6 per cent of the combined area of the Town
' and Village of Chanhassen is platted and 94% is unplatted.
VII.
' The Village of Chanhassen is almost entirely developed
having residential; commercial and industrial type buildings.
' The Town of Chanhassen is approximately 90% undeveloped and
10% developed. Of the developed area approximately 32% is
residential, 10% is commercial, 7% is industrial, 6% is public
' and semi-public buildings, 13% is public open space, 26% is
railroads and streets.
' VIII,
Population and construction in the Village of Chanhassen
' have grown in the past to the point where the Village is
substantially developed with little area available for future
' development. Population and construction in the Town of
Chanhassen have grown in the past and are expected to continue
to grow at an increased rate in the future.
-3-
I
1
' IX.
The assessed value of all of the platted property in the
Town of Chanhassen exceeds the assessed valuation of the un-
platted land and the assessed value of the Village of Chanhassen
in 1960 was $355,015.
' X.
The Village of Chanhassen has its own sewage treatment
facilities and central water system. The systems can be
expanded to service a considerable portion of the area in the
Town of Chanhassen. The Village of Chanhassen has a voluntary
fire department which services the village and will be able
' to serve the major portion of the Town of Chanhassen. Portions
of the Town of Chanhassen are also serviced by neighboring
I . Voluntary Fire Departments. The Village of Chanhassen has a
Police Department. The Town of Chanhassen has police protection
furnished by the Carver County Sheriff's Office and two elected
' constables. The Village Police Department can be expanded to
provide additional police protection for the Town of Chanhassen
' area.
XI.
' Both the Town and Village of Chanhassen have zoning ordin-
ances. The Town and Village of Chanhassen have adopted sub-
division regulations, appointed Planning Commissions, hired
professional engineering firms, and have cooperated and worked
' together in regard to planning for the future.
XII.
An active citizens group has studied the financial and
' other aspects of the merger of the Town and Village of Chanhassen
and reported on the same.
' XIII.
The Town of Chanhassen and Village of Chanhassen can be
' reasonably expected to participate in suburban growth in the
metropolitan area, and are now, or are potential residential,
commercial, and industrial property.

XIV.
There is now and will be in the immediate future a need
for increased governmental service in the area to be incorpora-
ted and the Village form of government will better be able to
1 protect the public health, safety and welfare of the residents
within the Town of Chanhassen. It is in the best interest of
the public that the Town and Village be merged to form a new
municipality so that municipal services to the residents in the
' Town and Village can be more efficiently and economically pro-
vided to the residents.
' XV.
The area proposed to be incorporated can best be served
by one village in the matter of community planning, installa-
' tion of thoroughfares, street systems, sewer and water systems,
fire and police protection and other vital and necessary
community services.
XVI.
The entire area to be incorporated and consolidated is
or is about to become urban or suburban in character.
' XVII.
The township form of government in Chanhassen Township
' is inadequate to cope with the problems of urban or suburban
growth within the Town.
XVIII.
' The Town and Village of Chanhassen when merged can be
served by a general drainage system and the result of the
' consolidation will be to provide the most reasonable and
efficient governmental services relating to drainage and
sewage disposal within said area.
XIX.
The name of the proposed Village is Chanhassen.
XX.
The Citizen's Committee, Petitioners, Village Council
' and Town Board have requested that the plan of government be
Optional Plan A.

II During the proceedings in connection with the consolidaten
petition and resolution requests and petitions were received
II for the annexation of portions of the Town of Chanhassen to
neighboring municipalities. Evidence was received in connec-
tion with these proposed annexations and after the considera-
tion of the testimony, all of the parties who made appearances
as listed above agreed and the Commission now finds that it is
in the best interest of the entire area that the northwestern
portion of the Town of Chanhassen as more particularly described
II in the Order of the Commission dated the 14th of November, 1966,
should be annexed to the Village of Victoria and the southwestern
I
portion of the Town of Chanhassen as more particularly described
_,
in the Order of the Commission dated the 15th day of December,1966
should be annexed to the City of Chaska. A request was also
I made for the annexation of the southeastern portion of the
Town of Chanhassen as more particularly described in Exhibit "A"
IIattached hereto and made a part hereof by reference, to the
City of Chaska and evidence was received in regard to said
Irequest. All parties agreed and the Commission now finds that
it is in the best interest of the City of Chaska, the territory
II described in Exhibit "A", the Town of Chanhassen and the Village
of Chanhassen that no part of the land described in Exhibit "A"
II be annexed to the City of Chaska and that all of the area des-
cribed in Exhibit "A" be included as a part of the new consoli-
' dated Village of Chanhassen. .

Re: Dell Road South Cooperative Improvement Project
I Eden Prairie Project No. 52-160
Chanhassen Project No. 90-7
Dear Alan:
rThe following questions and comments have been generated from
review of the Strgar Roscoe preliminary plans for the Dell Road
ISouth Improvement Project dated August 31 , 1990:
1. Are street lights proposed as a part of this improvement
I project? If not , we would recommend doing so. If they are
to be proposed , we recommend that they be consistent with the
design for the City of Chanhassen 's Lake Drive East lighting
adjacent to this project, i .e. Corten steel .
I2 . A signature line needs to be provided for the City Engineer
of Chanhassen on the title sheet.
I3 . Need to verify the storm inlet location and capacity
servicing the property south of Lake Drive East and west of
I Dell Road in Chanhassen in relation to the recent Lake Drive
East Improvement Project No. 89-6.
We concur that it would be most logical for the City of Eden
r Prairie to be the lead agency on this project. I have enclosed a
copy of the City Manager 's comments regarding funding of these
improvements . We obviously need to work out these details . As
I noted, we will be following a MSA 429 special assessment process
and therefore will need copies of the feasibility study, etc. to
complete the required steps in Chanhassen as well .

TO: Board of Adjustments and Appeals
I City Council
Staff Members of Planning, Administration and Building
Departments ?.---
IFROM: Paul Krauss, Planning Director
DATE: October 10, 1990
ISUBJ: Variance Procedures
II .
On Monday, October 8, 1990, the Board of Adjustments and City
Council discussed procedures concerning the handling of variances
II relative to appeals of Board of Adjustment decisions to the City
Council. The Board of Adjustment is established as a group that
can approve or deny variance applications. They are the final word
on these applications unless their actions are appealed to the City
I Council. Over the past several years, there have been a number of
appeals of Board decisions made by one member of the City Council
to the extent that it became regular practice to automatically
I schedule review of variance applications by the City Council on the
same night that they are acted upon by the Board of Adjustments.
This causes several problems. The first is that it is somewhat
subverts the intent of the Board of Adjustments which is to approve
I or deny the variance by automatically assuming that the Council
will review each action. This is not required by law and could
lead to an extensive and unwarranted workload for the City Council.
I The second problem concerns the applicants themselves. The
applicants attend the Board of Adjustment's meeting at 7:00 p.m.
and they are often forced to wait around until 10:00-11:00 p.m.
I only to find that the City Council reapproved their variance
anyway.
As noted above, the intended procedure by ordinance is that the
I Board approves or denies a request and that anyone aggrieved by the
action has 10 working days to appeal the variance. The procedure
agreed to by the City Council will do the following:
I1. The Board of Adjustments will act on a variance request in the
normal manner.

October 10, 1990
' Page 2
2. Any person aggrieved by this decision, including the
' applicant, area residents or members of the City Council,
would have 10 working days to file an appeal of the decision.
The variance will not go into affect until the 10 working day
time period has expired.
3. If an appeal of the decision is received in writing during the
ten day time frame, action on the variance will be scheduled
' for the next available City Council meeting. This will allow
staff to prepare any additional findings necessary for City
Council review and to provide the City Council with the
' minutes of the Board of Adjustment meeting.
4 . To keep the City Council informed as to Board of Adjustment
actions, the City Council will receive a Board of Adjustment
packet with their regular City Council packet. This will
replace the inclusion of Board of Adjustment items in the
regular City Council agenda. Additionally, copies of the
' Board of Adjustment minutes will be given to the City Council
in their packet along with minutes of Planning Commission and
Park and Recreation Commission meetings.
' We hope that this revised procedure can eliminate some confusion
and make this process easier for applicants and residents alike.
Please let me know if there are any additional modifications or
changes you wish incorporated.

II Dear Mayor:
The seeds for the 1991 League of Minnesota Cities Conference to
be held in Rochester , June 11-14 , have been planted. The local
I planning committee has met twice, and the state planning group of
forty eight volunteers met for its first meeting in September.
I We need to now sow a few of the seeds and cultivate them with
care. We are planning an opening ceremony involving youth. We
are asking all the cities to send us your city flag by May 15,
II 1991 to the Mayor's Office. Room 200., City Hall . Rochester. MN
55902 . We would like to have them 3' x 5' standard size. We
plan to begin the conference with young people marching in with
all the flags from cities throughout the state.
IIIf you don't have a city flag, why not initiate a flag selection
committee and select one for your city.
IHope you'll send us your flag by May 15, 1991.

Dear Donald :
' Just a note to thank you for getting in touch with your
concerns about proposals to limit the federal income tax
deduction for state and local income and property taxes . I
' appreciate hearing from you.
As you probably know, the deduction for state and local
' income and property taxes was only slightly impacted by last
week ' s budget agreement (the package would have reduced total
allowable itemized deductions for those earning over $100, 000 ) .
However, as you also know, the House of Representatives rejected
' that agreement -- and therefore, the package will be altered (to
what extent, I 'm not sure. )
' Be assured, though, that I 'll • : ve your concerns in mind as
we work to reach a new budget agreement .
' Thanks again for getting in touch.
incerely,
' R dy Bos. hwitz

1 MEMORANDUM
1 TO: Paul Krauss, Planning Director
FROM: Charles Folch, Assistant City Engineer
1 DATE: October 16, 1990
SUBJ: Intersection Evaluation of Orchard Lane and Oriole South
1 of TH 7
PW070-A-4
' During the public hearing on the conditional use permit for PJ's
Restaurant at the October 3 , 1990 Planning Commission meeting,
Jan Reed, a local resident, expressed a concern for the signage
' at the intersection of Orchard Lane and Oriole just south of
TH 7. At your request, I have conducted a field evaluation of
this intersection.
' Current signage at the site consists of a yield sign for
northbound traffic on Oriole at Orchard Lane, a dead-end sign for
1 southbound traffic on Oriole just south of Orchard Lane, a 30 mph
speed limit sign for southbound traffic on Oriole north of
Orchard Lane, and standard street name signs at the southwest
corner of Oriole and TH 7 and the southwest corner of Oriole and
1 Orchard Lane.
It is presumed that the concern raised relates to southbound
1 traffic on Oriole coming off of TH 7 conflicting with the
northbound Orchard Lane traffic. Both of these movements are
currently unrestricted. Thus, the direction having right-of-way
is not clearly defined.
1 The inherent features of this intersection create some
difficulties in determining the proper solution. Oriole, south of
Orchard Lane, is considered the minor traffic leg of this
intersection and thus, would commonly be the segment chosen to
control . However, doing so would still not define the previously
1 mentioned right-of-way movement issue. Orchard Lane is
considered the major traffic leg of the intersection. However,
it intersects Oriole on a down grade and at a skew. Therefore,
it would seem more appropriate to control movements from this leg
of the intersection.

In discussing this matter with City Engineer Gary Warren, it was
our consensus that the appropriate solution to eliminating future
right-of-way confusion by motorists and the associated hazard at
this intersection is to install a stop sign for northbound
traffic on Orchard Lane at Oriole and remove the existing yield
sign for northbound Oriole traffic at Orchard Lane. This
configuration will allow full right-of-way for northbound Oriole
and southbound Oriole traffic coming from TH 7 and continuing
south on Oriole or turning west on Orchard Lane. This stop sign
I is warranted at this intersection based on the premises that the
application of the normal right-of-way rule is unduly hazardous
at this intersection.
I will advise the Street Superintendent of these sign changes and
anticipate their completion in the next couple of weeks .
