ISUBJ: Provision of Utilities and Access to a Proposed
Subdivision and/or Potential Annexation of Land Located
on the Chanhassen/Victoria City Line
Staff has been contacted regarding a potential subdivision of 8
single family lots located primarily in Victoria but partially in
Chanhassen. Of the 8 lots, one would contain an existing home
with the balance being available for new development. One of the
' new lots would be located in Chanhassen. The site is located
north of Hwy. 7 and south of the old Chicago, Northwestern
Railway line off of Pipewood Curve. Staff has spoken with both
Curtis Oakes, Victoria City Planner and with the potential deve-
lopers of the property regarding the subdivision.
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council in how to
proceed with this proposal. The site is situated in such a way
that the sole means of access would be via Pipewood Curve to Hwy.
7. Pipewood Curve is an undersized Chanhassen street that has a
fairly poor intersection with Hwy. 7. In addition, Victoria is
unable to provide and water service to the property due to
the distance and location of lines within that community.
Therefore, Victoria will be requesting that access, water and
sewer services be provided through the City of Chanhassen. In
reviewing this proposal, we concluded that an alternative might
be consideration of annexation of the parcel should the owner
' petition the City to do so. Staff is unsure as to how to
proceed. We recently provided services to a parcel located in
Shorewood where annexation does not appear to have been con-
' sidered. With regards to this plat, it does appear to be
possible to provide services into this area, although a final
determination could not be made until engineering plans have been
prepared for review by our City Engineer. In addition, Pipewood
Curve could be improved at the developer' s expense to provide
access for the additional home sites. On the other hand, it is
not possible to access this property from Victoria and situations
of this type present problems for provision and maintenance of

' utility services, billing of utility services, street main-
tenance, street plowing provision of emergency services and
related matters . To a certain extent these problems could
' possibly be addressed through a contractual agreement such as a
development contract that was used in the Shorewood situation.
Again, staff is seeking direction of the City Council and will
' communicate your response to the developer and to the City of
Victoria.
Manager' s Comments: I see this request as being totally dif-
ferent than some of the sewer/water agreements previously entered
into with the City of Shorewood. Most of those instances involve
' an individual lot, with the City not potentially faced with having
to enter onto private property in another City, coordinate sewer/
water/street construction, etc. This example more closely
parallels the Volk subdivision process, i .e. in the Volk
instance, the City of Chaska would be providing snow plowing,
street sweeping, roads/sewer/water construction. It is also
similar in that, in the Volk instance, the City of Chanhassen
' did not have the capability of providing sewer and water to the
property. Finally, it is not economically feasible for our City
to plow a street for one house, sweep for one house, etc This
office would recommend that subdivision not be allowed to occur
unless the remaining portion of the parcel is annexed into the
City of Chanhassen.
