Inspection of the site on I May 9, 1990 with the City Attorney revealed that your firm is continuing to excavate materials from this site in direct violation of the City 's order. I This letter is to formally notify you that by continuing to excavate this site in violation of the stop work order places you in jeopardy of civil and criminal action if pursued by the City. I In addition, you are further jeopardizing your future opportunity to contract with the City on future City improvement projects. I You are hereby served with certified notice that if excavation work does not stop immediately on this site, the City will proceed to take action against you as appropriate as noted above. This is a serious matter and we will appreciate you immediate 1 cooperation in this regard.

My understanding of the proposal is: basically, the part-time and temporary staff that we periodically employ, who are currently covered only under the Medicare insurance provisions of the Social Security system, would now be covered by the general F. I .C.A. provi- sions of the system. That being the case, we would have to consider increased costs for employers share of the F. I .C.A. (currently 7.657. as compared to 1 .45% for employer contribution for Medicare Insurance) when we budget and appropriate funds for non full-time employees. Although this would not have a significant monetary impact on the City of 1 Chanhassen, it could force us to review our current practices con- cerning the hiring of part-time and temporary employees for such things as park clean-up, recreation programs and additional 1 periodic over-load help. The major consideration here is not necessarily total dollars but, rather, relativity and percentages. Being suddenly required to appropriate an additional 6.2% to any specific line-item with-in our annual budget would not necessarily ' break the bank. However, the relative impact on certain functions/programs would impose restraints and perhaps even can- cellation of some functions or programs. 1 Naturally, the bottom line of this proposal is of the greatest con- cern to us all . To the extent that this proposal would provide ' additional retirement benefit accruals for the majority of the people currently in this categorical group, and, additionally, generate considerable dollars that could be used with-in the Social Security system in support of current retirees, we would applaud ' your efforts in supporting it. 1 I. IThe Honorable Congressman Bill Frenzel May 7, 1990 I Page 2 I If, however, the underlying intent of this provision is another attempt to close some fiscal shortage gaps (similar to the arbitrage provisions of the 1986 Tax Reform Act) we would adamantly oppose the provision and would solicit your cooperation in opposing it also. IAll too frequently we have been caught in the political rhetoric of legislative proposals such as this only to discover that the bottom I line is considerably different than the head-lines and once again the local government unit, i.e. City of Chanhassen, as well as the general populace, are being used to cover-up the fiscal short- comings of our "Big Brother" in Washington. ' Again, we thank you for your communication and would appreciate follow-up/progress reports on this issue. ' Sincerely, II Thomas L.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 ' (612)937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 1 May 7, 1990 1 Mr. Cliff Hoffman, Partner Deloitte & Touche 4300 Norwest Center ' 90 South Seventh Street Minneapolis, MN 55402 Dear Cliff: Thank you again for including me,-in the Deloitte & Touche activities at the GFOA Conference in Cincinnati . The dinner ' reception was certainly one of the most enjoyable events of the entire Conference. Most impressive however, was the high caliber of professionalism presented by Deloitte & Touche 1 representatives from virtually every Corner of the country. I am now more convinced that the City of Chanhassen stands to benefit tremendously from our newly wormed association with Deloitte 1 & Touche for auditing, financial reporting and consulting services. On the local front, I would like to thank and applaud those in your office responsible for the assignment of John Schafer to our account for auditing and preparation of the 1989 City Annual Financial Report. Although the finished product is not yet ' available, I feel assured it will be excellent. John has been delightful to work with. ` #!e has -helped me tremendously in my learning process and worked almost tirelessly to prepare the ' initial work papers that will be our foundation for subsequent audits and financial reports. As we discussed, the City of Chanhassen, with your direction, has ' begun to implement the GASH "MFHA" by moving the employee benefit accrual of "Compensated Absences Payable" from the General Long Term Debt Account Group into the General Fund and recording the 1 appropriate current expense therein. After discussing this issue with my City Manager, it was decided to record only one current expense and account for it in the Finance Department budget rather ' than provide a pro-rata allocation to all of the operating depart- ments because of the nebulous nature of the entry. 11 1. ' Mr. Cliff Hoffman May 7, 1990 Page 2 We will , however, retain the right to change our policy and proce- dures in this regard should it be determined in the future to be more significant or appropriate. For the time being, I am attempting to project an amount to use for inclusion in our 1990 Budget so that I can propose a budget modification to our City Council that will be reasonable. Another point in the GASH "MFBA" proposal relates to the accounting and reporting of property taxes levied. As I under- stand it, under the proposed method, the specific category of delinquent taxes would be eliminated entirely and we would revert to recording all current levies as current revenue and subsequently, collections would then be recordecd as a reduction of "taxes receivable" . Perhaps my understanding of the issue could be wrong or, at best, over-simplified. Hopefully, we can ' begin to address this and other similar issues in the near future. Regarding our 1989 Audit and Annual Financial Report however, my suggestion concerning consolidation of our delinquent taxes receivable gained the approval of my City Manager. We then recorded the transactions necessary to accomplish the "purchase" of the outstanding amounts in all funds (except the H.R.A. ) by the General Fund. We have been extremely fortunate to ' continually experience a very low percentage of delinquencies and, as a result, the receivables "purchased" by the General Fund were relatively small ($11 ,723 prior delinquents and $15,679 ' current year) . Again, we retain the right to modify this policy should circumstances change significantly. Concerning the Arbitrage issue, I am sure you are aware that John Salbego of your office has given us an engagement letter and is currently paging through copious piles of data pertinent to our bonding programs of 1987 through 1990. Several points regarding ' this entire issue should be noted at this time: 1 . As we disussed, the costs associated with the Arbitrage ' Rebate accounting, tracking, and calculations as well as subsequent reporting should be charged back on a pro-rata basis to the individual construction funds financed in-whole or in-part by the various bond issues. 2. The major item of current concern is our "West 78th Street Detachment" Fund (Fund 634) which was included for ' funding with our G.O. Improvement Bonds of 1988. Certain factors and circumstances involving this project caused sudden and considerable delay in the completion of construction. Aware of the probable liability for rebate, yet, uncertain of the amount I recommended setting up a reserve of 1007 of the interest earnings to-date until such time as a more appropriate amount can be determined. My reasoning for this was: obviously the interest earnings are the focal point on which rebate must be calculated and since we have no idea at this time 1 the amount of rebate, then we have no real measurement of availability of these funds. 1. Mr. Cliff Hoffman May 7, 1990 Page 3 Subsequent discussion on the Arbitrage Rebate issue brought up a serious point for consideration: if ' multiple projects are financed by a single bond issue and one project fails to meet the required time table for disbursements then all interest earnings of all projects associated with the issue are subject to rebate. If that is the case, my recommendation for reserving funds should have included four more construction funds. To further this maze, one of the projects included for ' funding with this issue is our Downtown Redevelopment Project which has been on-going and partially funded by bond issues of 1987 and 1989 as well . I think we 11 have some serious problems ! ! 3. For future bonding, once we have a reasonable measurement of Arbitrage Rebate accounting and ' tracking costs, could these be included as part of the "bond issuance" costs? Finally, while we waited for your turn at the podium the evening you proposed "Central Services" , etc . to our City Council , you suggested to me that there is a specific and complex procedure for accounting for "roll-over" refunding bond issues such as the one we just completed (Refunding Bonds of 1990) . I would appreciate any advice, examples, etc . that you could provide for us. Looking forward to seeing you at Exit Conference on May 17.

There will be a one mile course layed out to begin at the ' Chanhassen Fire Station, going north on Laredo and west on Saratoga, to Santa Vera, to Kerber Boulevard, south on Kerber Boulevard, to Coulter Drive and then east on Coulter, back to Laredo. This-event is being spondsored by the Chanhassen Bank and is a fundraiser to provide revenue to St. Judes Hospital in ' Memphis, Tennessee. Kids will be seeking out sponsors to donate funds per mile that they ride. It ' should be a fun time for all and prizes will be donated to the kids with the top about of dollar donations. ' Craig Blechta is a little concerned about the traffic on Laredo during the running of this event. He indicated that the sidewalks on Kerber are wide enough to handle the bicycle traffic, but he thinks the kids will have to ride in the street on Laredo Drive. He is requesting 3 or 4 safety patrol members ' to assist with traffic on Laredo during the running of this event. The bike-a- thon will start at 10 AM and will continue to 2 PM. They do not expect a large bunching of bicycles because this will not be a race, but just a fundraiser per ' mile of bike riding. =x Craig would certainly appreciate if 3 or 4 of the safety patrol members could assist in the running of _this event, as I said between 10 AM and 2 PM on May 19, 1990.

Additionally, exercising of all of the control valves was accomplished. One problem was noted in that the rewrote station slam company was requested to verify the elan first before calling the Fire Departrent Dispatch. Mr. Littfin corrected this situation and told the alarm company to rearrange their priorities as listed so that when they receive a flew alarm on the sprinkler system, their first priority will be to notify the dispatch and then secondarily call the location to conduct verification of the alarm. Finally, it was noted that the City Garage does not have an operational tamper switch on the autocratic sprinkler system contra valve.

Mueller & Sons. The sidewalk improvements shown in the plan were deleted from the 1 scope of the project. On May 3,A.990, a pre-construction meeting was held with all the appropriate contractors and subcontractors to review the project scope and the proposed construction 1 approach and schedule. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the contractor has slated May 15 , 1990 as the beginning of construction. He has indicated that he intends to start by constructing the storm sewer outfall pipe located between 7201 and 7203 Frontier Trail on the north end of the project. The City's inspector, Mr. Bruce 1 Anderson, will be meeting with the contractor on a daily basis at 7: 00 a.m. to coordinate the construction. Mr. Anderson will be on site throughout the construction and can be reached on his mobile phone by calling 723-8733. His office number is 448-8838 and his home number is 1-467-3626 .

Obviously, ' some inconvenience is unavoidable but our goal is to keep this to a minimum. The contract documents call for the completion of the project by August 1, 1990. The contractor has indicated that he hopes to beat this completion date. As with all construction, I 1 May 7, 1990 Page 2 the weather will play a significant role in how the project progresses. All elements of construction are scheduled for completion this year with the exception of the final one-inch "wear" surface of bituminous which will be completed in the ' spring of 1991. This will allow the subgrade to solidify and experience a freeze/thaw cycle. Any settlements encountered will then be repaired before the final coat of blacktop is installed. The construction specifications require the contractor to have the roadway back in service at the end of each day. Construction ' hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Depending on how the weather and construction progresses, there may be instances where the construction hours will be extended and/or weekend work required in order to see that this project is ' completed on schedule. We look forward to a successful project and very much appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this period. If you have any comments or concerns during the construction, please contact Mr. Bruce Anderson at the numbers listed above or stop him when you see him in the field.

IIAll parties agreed that Don-Eve Company will furnish all labor and equipment expense to complete the Lake Ann project. The City of Chanhassen will furnish materials; seed, sod, and straw mulch. The material will be paid for at the Icosts shown on Don-Eve Company's supplier's invoices. There are additional areas on the site that will be sodded to control erosion. I Please refer to the enclosed plan for the areas to be sodded. The sod amount required is estimated to be 6,033 square yards. (177 square yards are required in other places by the City. This yardage shall remain on the sod pallets delivered to the site.) IIIt is estimated that 21 acres remain to be seeded and mulched per the II specification. This area excludes the additional sodded areas. The athletic fields will be mulched. Other items that need to be completed are: II. The drainage off the cul-de-sac needs to be rerouted as previously discussed. I 2. All existing sod needs to be cleaned up or replaced where silted in or dead. 1 3. Ag lime needs to be added to bench areas and sod removed. 4. Rock filter beds need to be repaired. I CITY OF CHANHASSEN • GREOED I MAY 0 81990 ENGINEERING DEPT. 1 I 5.

Mayor Hamilton - Are we going to sell the land or lease the land? Bob BWaibel - The HRA would sell it to Mr. Brown.

Council Meeting December 5, 1983 -3_ Gary Brown - Yes. we will have insulated doors with electric garage door openers. I I Myrna Kurvers - There is no stacking space for cars at the car wash. • I Councilwoman Swenson - Will you (Gary Brown ) have sufficient room for both those operations? I Gar Brown - Yes. The car wash will have three bays and behind each bay e will _ be room for at least two cars per bay as they are waiting to ge into the car wash. We have found with our operation in the last ten years or so, 95% of the people wash their car and go down the road. You do have I a few people that do bring their towel out and dry it off but it' s really minimal. • Mayor Hamilton - I couldn ' t see that there would be any problem with ' stacking g because if I am going to go to a car wash like this and there is car in the bay and there is a car waiting I am not going to stop. I Councilwoman Swenson - If it should become a problem we might have to request that you put a "full " sign up so that we don ' t, in fact, have cars parked on West 79th Street. ICraig Kurvers - I would like to know the actual size of the lot. Bob Waibel - The actual size of the lot, after the dedication of the right ITway, would be 8,661 square feet. [.... # Craig Kurvers - Would you define for me exactly what kind of establishment I _ is being proposed , as far as the Zoning Ordinance this would go under. Mayor Hamilton - CBD. ICraig Kurvers - The Central Business District does have some zoning Stan- _ dards nit-TI goes under. The CBD plan is based on some form of a' guide- line, is it not? The conceptual plan for the business district is based I established zoning practices. The way I interpret this from reading the central business district, is that an operation like this would fall under the criteria established for C-3 Zoning. IMayor Hamilton - I believe this question has been asked before and staff has answered it that a car wash does meet the zoning requirements of the CBD. IIBob Waibel - It is an unconventional ordinance in the fact that it does no prescrib any permitted or conditional uses. Any use that goes in that I district is a conditional use. It requires a public hearing that was held by the Planning Commission. lir Craig Kurvers - The development of the CBD is still based on guidelines. Bob Waibel - It does not imply those guidelines, to my knowledge, for rdinance 47A which is the CBD Ordinance sets forth the guidelines as far Ias how the plans are to be reviewed. II II Council Meeting December 5 , 1983 I ) -4- . C Kurvers - I have here under Ordinance 47 entitled the Chanhassen Zoning Ord nance, adopted February 1972 is hereby amended by adding Section II 13, CBD. That would be the ordinance that establishes the CBD? [7- Bob Waibel - Section 13.01 . ICraig Kurvers - I guess the way I interpret it, if you this would be under a conditional use variance, is that rright?riances which IBob Waibel - No. There is no such thing as a use variance. State Law pro- Milt t. It is a conditional use permit. IICouncilwoman Watson - Everything is a conditional use permit in the CBD. Bob Waibel - There are cases when there is a very minor interior alteration Iof a building or change in tenancy where we have staff discretion to authorize the permit to be executed without Council approval . ICraig Kurvers - The question I had is when this was established , the CBD, under DT-FWD-ice 47. "The Chanhassen Zoning Ordinance is hereby amended by adding thereto the following" now this was add sede what you had before, ed to but that doesn ' t super- , Bob Waibel - All our rezonings are worded that way. It does in fact amend IIthe di— str ct for what the uses are to be or the requirements for the uses. Craig Kurvers - The way I interpret it and I could be wrong but I interpret it to mean that it was just added to so that the preceeding C-3 would still be valid. The other question that I had, if this is new then the develop- 'rents in this area should be consistent with other developments. mi Bob Waibel - If someone wanted to build a zero lot line common wall Mull-TOW—we would have the flexibility under this ordinance to approve it. Craig Kurvers - From reading the Zoning Ordinance that we have here, I interpre—t it to be a C-3. It would fall under the category for an automo- bile service station and under those requirement would be 20,000 square feet.guidelines lot size casein we 8,000 square feet. If you fall in the C-3 categoryathere lwith aae20,000Ve Isquare feet lot size, it also states that for every service bay you are required to have three exterior parking spaces for each interior bay. 'Ma or Hamilton - That' s a service station. This isn ' t a service station. Craig Kurvers - What is a car wash? Councilman Horn - A service is when they do the service on on your vehicle. Craig Kurvers - They are occupying a space to provide a service to the IIutomob—Te.You go into the car wash and you park s performed on the car. I have a tough time defining rthe rdifference vbet- een a service station bay and a car wash in that Ificing the same thing. You are providin a service. are actually his ot right to say that 8,000 is reasonable or consistent with surroundings evelopment when you have a Brown ' s Standard Station right next to it which would fall in the C-3 Zoning District. 1 II Council Meeting December 5, 1983 _5_ Mayor Hamilton - It 's CBD also. His Standard Station is in the CBD District—also: 1 Bob Waibel - As far as lot sizes go, this plan is even perhaps more con- 1 s istent than some of the development we see down there with the fact that II they exceed the impervious surface area ratio that we have been applying t( other development standards which is 30% open space and 70% building and parking. This one exceed that by quite a bit. liCraig Kurvers - I know in looking at other service establishments, I know theme �s o e in Eden Prairie and there is one on Vine Hill Road , in my own experience as far as service in each, I much prefer going to the one in I Eden Prairie and I believe that' s because there is space there to get to it. I don ' t know what type of facility we would want in Chanhassen but my own self I would much prefer to see a facility like the one in Eden Prairi, II where there is space to park your car. We mentioned earlier that there is a potential problem of cars entering and exiting off of West 79th Street, know when I go to the one in Eden Prairie I wait because there is spaces t, wait, now under this plan I have understood that Mr. Brown said there will I be three spaces but when I look at the plan I have a. tough time visualizint where these are going to be. 1 Mayor Hamilton - Six people can wait while three are being washed so that' : nine cars at one time. There is enough space for six cars to wait. Councilwoman Swenson - There is 46 feet from the bay to the road. I Certainly you can put two cars in 46 feet. - Myrna Kurvers - What I have is a plan drawn up this summer by Scott Martin. I ,i s part of the conceptual plan of the community development for the City of Chanhassen in 1981. What I would like to show you first of all which I don ' t think any of you are aware unless you see it visually, this II is our property line. You follow that line over and it almost in the middle of the building of the Brown 's Standard Station. If any of you hay( gone over to the Standard Station you are well aware they use the property II all along there. In fact a couple of years ago we were called in because some vehicles were parked on our property and we were going to be charged for these vehicles and they weren' t our vehicles. I want you to see very vividly how much space you are talking about. I also want you to see how I far back the Brown 's Station is from the highway. It' s really very close isn ' t it. In fact our lot line itself is quite close to State Highway 101. What I have here is an overlay and, again, the Brown 's Station, our lot I line, West 79th Street, the proposed widening of the highway for traffic and if I am correct is a 30 x 50 foot building that they want in here. Do you know how big a 30 x SO foot building is? But, that' s 50 deep. So can you imagine how much that building is going to go out to the road or to our I land? There is definitely going to be no space around there and if you are consistent with your guidelines there has to be some space between us. What I have also on this plan are some suggested hypothetical plans showing I consistency. What I wanted to show you in these visuals, things drawn up by your own City, is that to be consistent with your wonderful planning �, that you have done so far, it would be a shame and a discredit to your City not to include and consider other properties with this and I don ' t think • there has been any place that you have allowed zero lot line: In 1981 we had sold this land and low and behold it turned out that our property was going to be bought by the City to widen some of the road in there an!l co . - ' _ couldn ' t sell our land and the contract fell throuoh r II IICouncil Meeting December 5 , 1983i,�..-^...R�..�. ..- consider that and take . . 1 these things into consiocration. Your planning IIdoes not plan a little tiny thing right on top of the highway. You, Mr. • Horn , told me that you wait sometimes 45 minutes to go into a car wash, have you looked at the size of those car washes? They are a lot bigger. I was at the public hearing last week and Mr. Thompson said two of them were turned down because they had 30,000 square feet and they weren ' t big enough and you are approving one a little over 8,000 square feet? II Councilman Horn - What is the space to the edge of this building from the center of the street versus the building across the street? Don Ashworth - The Sorenson building is very close to the property line on I the east s de. How far back is the building proposed from the property line? ' Bob Waibel - The dedication would place it 18 feet plus 14 feet right now that is boulevard. There would be 14 feet dedicated and after that the property line would be 18 feet from the building. ICouncilman Geving - If this goes through I would propose that that side yard be extended another five feet because if you ever had to drive a main- tenance vehicle or some kind of fire vehicle you would need ten feet in width at •least. Councilwoman Swenson - I would concur with that. IIBob Waibel - To the existing roadway there is 52 feet from the building. IMyrna Kurvers - I would like to also bring out a couple things. At Brown ' s Station , very crowded , very busy at the front. There might be only two and three cars there and you are saying there is room for more on a piece of property that is 1/3 of the size next door. Visualize those things, ' please. Councilman Horn - I expect that even if the street were widened this ' wouldn ' t be any closer than Sorenson ' s building. Councilwoman Swenson - I don ' t think it would be as close. II• Myrna Kurvers - You have already put that one up there and now to take the same problem on the other side of the street and make it more congested on a main highway. Mayor Hamilton - It will 1pook teniced . There will be a nice berm in there. hT ere will be some trees lan . IMyrna Kurvers - I would also like to point out that a couple of years ago Al KTingeThutz asked if he could build a building on this piece of property and it was turned down because there was not enough room. ICouncilwoman Swenson - That was a different type of a building. 9 ' Councilman Horn - There was a proposal to maybe move the whole building south to allow for extra stacking, is that feasible? Gary Brown - I don ' t see why we would have to. I - Council Meeting Dec'mber 5, 1983 -7- Councilman Horn - I guess I am more optimistic about the business than what you are. IG a r y Brown .- I am agreeing with you and I hope you are 100% right but you ao nee the room when you leave there for your vacuum cleaners and such like that. ICouncilman Gevin - The Planning Commission mentioned several times drainage and familiar with that area and I know it can be pretty wet I down there and I am hoping that it doesn 't get any worse. .The thing that I am concerned about, there is a drainage ditch along the road now, I think there is a culvert next to the road, isn ' t that correct? 1 Gary Brown - No. There is no culvert until you get to my south entrance at the Standard Station there is a culvert there. I Councilman Gevinq - Let' s refer to the south side of your proposed building, between the building and the Standard Station itself, will that be leveled in such a manner so that there will be no drainage problem there. Gary Brown - It should be 100% improvement over what we have now. t I Bill Monk - It will go to the west. Very little will go to the east. Councilman Geving - Tell re how you are going to make this look nice to a IIperson driving to Chanhassen to go to the Dinner Theatre for the evening, kj how is this going to be beautified with shrubs , plants, trees, whatever. Gary Brown - You know what the lot looks like now, all the way up to the I Manus building, it 's brush and junk , trees, weeds. We are going to put up a nice block building. We are going to pave it. We are going to have the green strip in the front with shrubs and sodded. The only signage on the Ibuilding will be inset into the block. It will just say "Car Wash" on it. Councilman Geving - Will there be any of the signs like we have at I - McDonalds where you have "in" and "out" type of signage. Gary Brown - That will be on the building. It will say "entrance" on the IWest Street side and it will say "exit only" on the south side. Councilman Geving - You are going to destroy some of the curbing on the you going to handle that? West 79th Street side. How are g IBM Monk - There will be a concrete driveway type entrance.

Councilman Horn - What are the hours of operation? I Gary Brown - I would think in the summer a person could run it 24 hours. In the winter I would think we would run it the same hours as the station, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. I - Councilman Geving - Many times we have asked for an escrow account, we have asked for the City Engineer to review the project as it proco II 1 council Meeting December 5, 1983 -8- } -Gary- Brown - If I can stand on my merits a little bit here. When I bought 4 the Standard Station in 1971 the weeds were high all around the building 11 • and all over the place. I went to work and cut 'all those weeds and put some hedges up and such and I think we do a pretty darn good job of keeping it mowed and looking good now and I would sure think that we would do at least as good a job on this building. IICouncilman Geving - These are conditional uses and one of the conditions could be just that, that we would have your plan and direction to staff ' would be to see that the plan is carried out. Gary Brown - In essence what, I guess , gave us the idea of doing something with this lot is the simple fact that I have to look at the other lot 365 I days a year and look at the brush and weeds growing over there and I can ' t blame the City for it because there is old foundations and stuff in there and they can 't cut the grass. I cut as much of that as I can now. We have been working at cleaning out as much as we can there but there is just so much we can do and the City can do. ' Councilman Geving - I have no problem with this plan except for the recom- mendation and condition be that the building be moved to the west five additional feet so that there is a ten foot side yard setback from the Kurvers property. IIGary Brown - That ' s fine with me as long as the City fathers can go along with tit a because they asked for that extra 14 feet in there in case the road is ever widened. Gary Brown - I would welcome something being built on the Kurvers property IIbecause 1 am getting a little tired of looking at the weeds and brush in there. I think it would be a great idea. • - Myrna Kurvers - Last week we went to the public hearing and that was Wednesda!ght and Wednesday is when the paper comes out and so the same day that the paper came out, tonight they were going to approve the November 21st Planning Commission minutes but on the same agenda you are Ihaving something that wasn ' t even approved by you tonight. How can you act on the Planning Commission ' s approval when you haven ' t approved that meeting. Bob Waibel - The Council has those minutes. Myrna Kurvers - You haven ' t approved them yet because you are only Iapproving the 21st. The other thing is, which I have tried to point out to you, I showed you three different alternatives of plans that were drawn up by your own department and I still think it would be very wise for the City IIto think of the total piece of property which you have done other places. Why do you want to let him put it in that little piece? There is a for sale sign up there. Why not do it consistent with your other plans instead of squeezing one in.

Anderson, ' et al Plaintiffs, ' vs. MEMORANDUM OP LAW City of Chanhassen, et al ' Defendants. I. ' INTRODUCTION This Memorandum of Law is submitted by the City in support ' of its motion for an order affirming the City Council's denial of the plaintiff's application for variances and a conditional use permit. II. PROCEDURAL POSTURE The Sunnyslope Homeowners Association ("Association") ' brought this lawsuit seeking the court to order the City to issue four (4) variances and a conditional use permit. The City moved to have review conducted on the record ' presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. Judge Kanning granted the City's motion, basing his order on Swanson v. City of Bloomington, 421 N.W.2d 307 (Minn. 1988) . The complete Irecord of the City proceedings is submitted with this Memorandum. Pursuant to Judge Kanning's order, neither party may present additional evidence to supplement the record. 1 III. FACTS The record consists of verbatim transcripts of the City Council and Planning Commission meetings, written contemporaneous Findings of Fact and Decision adopted by the City Council, planning staff report, the zoning ordinance, and meeting notices. ' The professional planners report recommended denial of the variances and conditional use permit ("CUP") . The Planning ' Commission also recommended denial. The Council adopted contemporaneous Findings that the Association had failed to show the standards for granting a variance and conditional use permit (CUP) had been met. The Council found: - that Lot 37 failed to meet minimum standards set forth in the ordinance for granting a CUP; ' - that the proposed beach lot would have an adverse effect on adjacent single family homes; II - that the use would disrupt the quietude of the area by interjecting too many people into too small an area; - that the use would generate additional boat traffic and congestion on the lake; - that the use would depreciate adjacent property value; - that the ordinance does not cause the Association undue hardship; and II - that Lot 37 can be put to a reasonable use without the variances. Iv. STANDARD OF REVIEW ' Judge Kenning's order directs that the court conduct a review on the record. The standard of review for all zoning ' matters is whether the City's action was reasonable. Is there a ' -2- II ' reasonable basis for the decision, or is the decision unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious? Honn v. City of Coon Rapids, 313 N.W.2d 409, 417 (Minn. 1981) ; White Bear Docking v. City of White Bear Lake, 324 N.W.2d 174, 176 (Minn. 1982) ; and ' VanLandschoot v. City of Mendota Heights, 336 N.W.2d 503, 508 ' (Minn. 1983) . In determining reasonableness the court must decide whether the reasons assigned by the governing body have the ' ',slightest validity,' or bearing on the general welfare of the immediate area, or whether the reasons given were legally sufficient and had a factual basis. VanLandschoot, 336 N.W.2d at ' 508. The setting aside of municipal decisions should be reserved for those rare instances in which the city's decision has no rational basis. Swanson v. City of Bloomington, 421 N.W.2d 307, 311 (Minn. 1988) ; White Bear Docking, 324 N.W.2d at 176. "Except in such cases, it is the duty of the judiciary to exercise restraint and accord proper deference to civil authorities in the performance of their duties. " Id. A. THE CITY'S DENIAL OP THE VARIANCES WAS REASONABLE. Summary affirmance of the City's decision is required if the decision was reasonable. Swanson, 421 N.W.2d at 314. In variance cases, as with CUP's, reasonableness is measured by the standards set out in the local ordinance. Honn, 313 N.W.2d at 417; White Bear Docking, 324 N.W.2d at 176. The Chanhassen zoning ordinance establishes conditions for granting a variance. Section 20-58 provides: -3- 11 General Conditions for Granting. A variance may be granted by the board of adjustments and appeals only if it finds all the following: (1) That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause undue hardship and practical difficulty. (2) That the hardship is caused by special conditions and circumstances which are peculiar to the land and structure involved and which are not ' characteristic of or applicable to other lands or structures in the same district. (3) That the granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. (4) That the special conditions and circumstances are not a consequence of a self-created hardship. ' (5) That the variance will not be injurious to or adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the residents of the city or the neighborhood ' wherein the property is situated and will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. A city council "has broad discretionary power to deny an application for variances." VanLandschoot, 336 N.W.2d at 508-09: ' The fact that a court reviewing the action of a municipal body may have arrived at a different conclusion, had it been a member of the body, does not invalidate the judgment of the city officials if they acted in good faith and within the broad discretion afforded them by statutes and the relevant ordinances. Id. at 509; See, White Bear Docking, ' 324 N.W.2d at 176. The Association has the burden of proof that it met the standards ' of the ordinance. This is a "heavy burden". VanLand-schoot, 336 N.W.2d at 509. ' The City Council found the Association failed to establish ' that the standards for granting a variance had been met. (Council Finding #13) . The City Council found the property is not unique and has no special conditions or characteristics not found on -4- 11 other R-1 property which would require a variance. (Finding #15) . The property has no topographical or geographical features which ' make it unique. The City Council also found the Association has reasonable Iuse of the property. As admitted in the Association's memorandum, the twelve (12) families, their friends and invitees "can use the ' lot for many purposes, such as picnicking, volleyball, croquet, badminton, horseshoes, to name only a few. (Plaintiff's Supp. Trial Memo, page 7) . In addition, the record indicates that the ' Association could apply for a variance to build a single family home. Several Council members expressed the need to give the Association a reasonable use of their property. 11 The record fails to establish any undue hardship from denial of the variance. Undue hardship means: [T]he property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique ' to the property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not ' constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. Minn. Stat. Sec. 462.357, Subd. 6. ' The City Council's Findings are supported by facts in the record. Protection of Lake Riley, prevention of overcrowding on the lake, protection of adjacent property from traffic, noise, ' and intense use, are all rational reasons for denying the variance. r -5- 1 B. TEE CITY'S DENIAL OP TEE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WAS ' REASONABLE. The Chanhassen zoning ordinance makes recreational beach ' lots a conditional use in the R-1, Single Family Residential, zoning district. The zoning ordinance Section 20-232 sets out the following standards for all conditional uses: ' General Issuance Standards. The planning commission shall recommend a conditional use ' permit and the council shall issue such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed locations: ' (1) will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. ' (2) Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter. 1 (3) Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. (4) Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or ' planned neighboring uses. (5) Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and ' fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by ' the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. (6) Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. ' (7) Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the ' general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash. -6- ' (8) Will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. ' (9) Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or historic features of major significance. (10) Will be aesthetically compatible with the area. ' (11) Will not depreciate surrounding property values. (12) Will suet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article. ' Zoning ordinance Section 20-263 sets forth additional standards for recreational beach lots: . . .The following minimum standards apply to recreational beach lots: ' Recreational beach lots shall have at least two hundred (200) feet of lake frontage. ' No dock shall be permitted on any recreational beach lot unless it has at least two hundred (200) feet of lake ' frontage and the lot has at least one hundred foot depth. No more than one (1) dock may be erected on a recreational beach lot every two hundred (200) feet of lake frontage. In addition, thirty thousand (30,000) square feet of land is ' required for the first dock and an additional twenty thousand (20,000) square feet is required for each additional dock. No more than three (3) docks, however, ' shall be erected on a recreational beach lot. Under zoning ordinance Section 20-1, recreational beach lot ' means: Land abutting public water which serves as a neighborhood ' recreational facility for the subdivision of which it is a part. ' Lot 37 has fifty (50) feet of lake frontage, one hundred ten (110) feet of depth, and five thousand five hundred (5,500) ' square feet of land. Lot 37 falls far short of meeting the minimum standards for a recreational beach lot. -7- Granting the recreational beach lot a CUP would have required four (4) variances. The two most substantial are: 1) a ' variance from the required 200 feet of lake frontage; and 2) permit a dock on a beach lot without the required 30,000 square ' feet of lot area. In applying the standards for issuance of a CUP to the ' Association's application, the Council specifically found that: ' - the proposed use would be disturbing to the existing residential uses because the use was too intense for the substantially substandard size lot. ' - the proposed use would produce additional boat traffic and noise detrimental to neighboring uses. ' - the proposed use would depreciate adjacent property values. ' Many concerned citizens attended the meetings on the application, and testified that they were very concerned about ' opening a 50 foot wide lot adjacent to their homes to up to three (3) motor boats and an almost unlimited number of people. The people who testified were concerned with the intense use, small lot size, lack of spacing and buffering, boat traffic and congestion, noise. Many believed the use would be disturbing to them as adjacent property owners. Testimony was received, and the Council specifically found that the proposed beach lot would depreciate adjacent property values. The City Council is entitled to measure the impact of a proposed land use without the aid of expert testimony. Chanhassen is a relatively small city. Councilmember Geving in particular, -8- stated that he knew the history of the property and had been familiar with the property for "many, many years". In White Bear ' Docking, the court stated: City officials have the experience, competence, and capacity to measure the impact of a permit on property values and to weigh and assess similar issues without relying on expert witnesses. . . . 325 N.W.2d at 174. ' The City Council had a rational basis for its decision. The proposed beach lot did not comply with the minimum standards set ' forth in the zoning ordinance. In addition, the proposed beach lot did not comply with several general standards that apply to ' all conditional uses. Each of these findings is supported by ' facts in the record. V. ' THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT EFFECT A TARING OF LOT 37 The Association alleges that the City has taken Lot 37 by ' enacting the recreational beach lot ordinance. The Association failed to introduce any evidence or even argue the taking issue ' to the Council or Planning Commission. For this reason alone, the ' taking argument must fail. The City Council found that the Association has reasonable ' use of Lot 37. As the Association admits, it can be used for swimming, picnicking, and numerous other recreational activities. ' It provides access to the lake for the Association members and is an amenity to the Association's property. In addition, the Council recognized that although Lot 37 is ' substandard by R-1 standards, the Council would have to look very seriously at granting a variance for a single family home on Lot ' 37. ' -9- Minnesota follows the three pronged analysis for takings cases set forth by the Supreme Court. See, Connolly v. Pension ' Benefit Guaranty Corp. , 475 U.S. 211, 224, 106 S.Ct. 1018, 1026, ' 89 L.Ed.2d 166 (1986) ; accord, Keystone Bituminous Coal Association v. DeBenedictis, 480 U.S. 470, 107 S.Ct. 1232, 1242- '1 48, 94 L.Ed.2d 472 (1987) . The three (3) part test is: A. ECONOMIC IMPACT OF REGULATION Minnesota has repeatedly upheld land use restrictions ' against allegations of takings, even where the value of the ' 'property has declined significantly as a result of the restrictions. McShane v. City of Faribault, 292 N.W.2d 253, 257 (Minn. 1980) ; and Parranto Bros. v. City of New Brighton, 425 N.W.2d 585, 592 (Minn. Ct. App. 1988) . ' The Association did not submit any evidence on the value of 1 the property. It is impossible to determine from the record what economic impact, if any, the beach lot ordinance had on Lot 37. B. THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE REGULATION HAS INTERFERED WITH DISTINCT INVESTMENT BACKED EXPECTATIONS. ' The Association failed to submit any evidence on how or whether the regulations interfered with distinct investment ' backed expectations. ' C. ARBITRATION/ENTERPRISE TEST The character of the governmental activity here was clearly an arbitration function. The arbitration function occurs when the ordinance is designed to effect a comprehensive plan, recognizing ' the "increasing complexity of society and the realization that -10- property must be viewed more interdependently." Parranto Bros. , 425 N.W.2d at 592. The beach lot ordinance was the product of ' much study and debate and applies to all lake shore lots in the City which serve as a neighborhood facility, not just Lot 37. The United States Supreme Court has also recognized that a zoning ordinance effects a taking only if the ordinance does not ' advance legitimate state interests or denies an owner ' economically viable use of the property. Parranto Bros. , 425 N.W.2d at 590; citing, Aqins v. City of Tiburon, 447 U.S. 255, ' 260, 100 S.Ct. 2138, 2141, 65 L.Ed.2d 106 (1980) ; Nollan v. California Coastal Comm. , 107 S.Ct. 3141, 3147, 97 L.Ed.2d 677 ' (1987) . The City has identified several interests which are advanced by the beach lot ordinance: preserving the lake, preserving the single family homes from an intense use, maintaining proper spacing and buffering between uses, regulating boat traffic and congestion on the lake, and protection of property values. Given the broad notion of a legitimate state interest, it is obvious these are legitimate interests. See, Parranto Bros. , 425 N.W.2d at 591. Further, the protection of natural resources was identified and upheld as a legitimate state interest in State, by ' Powderly v. Erickson, 285 N.W.2d 84, 87-88 (Minn. 1979) . The Association has failed to obtain a final decision from ' the City on how its property may be developed. The Association ' has only sought to develop Lot 37 as a recreational beach lot. The Association has not sought a variance for a single family ' home on Lot 37. In Penn Central Transp. Co. v. City of New York, -11- II ' 438 U.S. 104, 136-37, 57 L.Ed.2d 631, 98 S.Ct. 2646 (1978) ) , the United States Supreme Court refused to decide the taking issue ' because "the property owners had not sought approval for any other plan, and therefore it was not clear whether the [city] would deny approval for all uses that would enable the plaintiffs ' to derive economic benefit from the property." Williamson Planning Comm'n. v. Hamilton, 473 U.S. 172, 187, 87 L.Ed.2d 126, ' 105 S.Ct. 3108 (1985) , citing Penn Central, 438 U.S. at 136-37. Similarly, here, the Association's taking claim must be rejected ' because it has only submitted one development plan for its ' property. VI. THE CITY'S ACTION WAS NOT A DENIAL ' OF EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS The record does not contain any evidence that the City ' treated the Association's application differently than similar applications. The Association has not pointed out even one ' similar application that was granted or even one single instance ' where the City is allowing the beach lot ordinance to be violated. The claim is wholly without foundation and must be dismissed. The Association argues that similar R-1 lots with single family homes are allowed to have a dock, so denying them a dock ' for Lot 37 is unequal treatment. The fallacy of the argument is that a lot with a single family home is a different class of ' property than a neighborhood recreational facility lot which many families can use, not one family. Minn. Stat. Sec. 462.357, Subd. 1, allows cities to distinguish between classes of property, but -12- requires zoning regulations to be "uniform for each class or kind of buildings, structures, or land and for each class or kind of ' use throughout such district." The R-1 zoning district is uniform for each class of use in the district. Single family lots are one class of use and are all treated the same. Recreational beach lots are one class of use ' and are all treated the same. There can be no denial of equal ' protection because they are different classes of uses. In order for there to be unequal treatment, there must be conflicting actions by the City on similar applications filed at the same tine. Castle Design v. City of Lake Elmo, 396 N.W.2d 578 (Minn. Ct. App. 1986) ; In Re Variance Request of Johnson, 404 N.W.2d 298, 300-01 (Minn. Ct. App. 1987) . The Association has not pointed out even one similar application which was approved, much less a similar application filed at the same time as the Association's. ' The Associations's equal protection claim should be dismissed. ' VII. THE BEACH LOT ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL ' The Association parrots phrases like "unconstitutional", ' "unreasonable", "arbitrary", and "unnecessary" in describing its distaste for the beach lot ordinance. However, attaching labels to the ordinance is as far as the Association's reasoning goes. Cities are given express statutory authority for planning and ' zoning. The Municipal Planning Act, Minn. Stat. Chapter 462, enables cities to plan and zone: -13- To ensure a safer, more pleasant and more economical ' environment for residential. . .activities, to preserve agricultural and other open lands, and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare. ' Minn. Stat. Sec. 462.35. In carrying out this legislative mandate, cities are given ' broad discretion in zoning matters, particularly in enacting a ' zoning ordinance. Odell v. City of Eagan, 348 N.W.2d 792, 796 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984) . VanLandschoot, 336 N.W.2d at 508-09. 1 In addition, an ordinance is presumed constitutional; the burden of proving that it is unreasonable or that the requisite ' public interest is not involved, rests on the party attacking its ' validity. Minn. Stat. Sec. 645.17, (Subd. 3) . State v. Turner, 382 N.W.2d 252, 253 (Minn. Ct. App. 1986) . See, State v. Munnell, 1 344 N.W.2d 883, 887 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984) . The Association has failed to show a denial of equal protection or due process. The Association has failed to show 1 that the beach lot ordinance in unreasonable. The ordinance must be upheld and found to be constitutional. 1 1 i -14- CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Court should affirm the City's denial of the Association's application for variances and a CUP and should dismiss the Association's Complaint with ' prejudice.

Our office received 20 proposals and we had funds available for only five new initiatives. This made the selection process very difficult. IIA panel of community and state level criminal justice and prevention experts representing the metro and out-state areas read and scored all proposals. The panel 's recommendations and I comments guided my final decisions. Priority was given to funding proposals which met at least two of the following three criteria: II . High crime rate area . Innovative model I • Unserved target area with limited or no crime prevention initiatives currently in place In reviewing the panel 's written comments, I found them to be ' thorough and potentially helpful to your agency in the event that you submit future proposals. I will share them with you. I Specifically, the committee recognized the unique problems associated with Chanhassen's geographical size and growing population; however, it felt that the proposal needed a more detailed account of the coordination with community groups and I the specific crime prevention activities that would be carried out. More specifically, the proposal needed to elaborate on the What, Where and When of the "mobil crime prevention delivery IIsystem". II II IIAN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Page 2 We appreciated your interest and effort in submitting a proposal. ' We anticipate future funding opportunities in the crime prevention area and will keep you appraised via future RFP mailings and our monthly newsletter.

I will be placing more information in the newspaper , and our approach developed last year would seem to be ap irop(iate again: Ii) Suspect samples can be delivered to our office, and they will be taken to either DNR or Lake Restoration Incorporated for examination; I2) Once confirmed, an on-sight inspection will be arranged, again by the 'DNR and/or Lake-Restoration Incorporated; I 3) Once verified as eurasian water milfoil , Lake Restoration Incorporated has agreed to stand by the ready 'to commence immediate eradication efforts. I have requested that our Park and Recreation Department again include some kind of training with •ispark help to make sure that I plant fragments are not transported in to our lakes from boats at the public access points.

It should be pointed out that the section that the Fire Marshal is citing is more restric- tive than the present City of Chanhassen ordinance. This ruling is predicated on the understanding that city code may be more but 1 not less restrictive than state law. In this case the city ordi- nance is less restrictive than state law and, consequently, the state law would take precedence. 1 The Fire Marshal is pointing this out so that we may be con- sistent in our enforcement efforts. 1 1 1 1 i 1 I r t CITY OF ...,, I ,,, ,, „.....„, ,,,l,,,,, CHANBILSSEN . ,,,.,,,,,,-1 � _ ', ` 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

The 1982 Edition of the Uniform Fire Code is amended in the following respects: Section 2.105 shall read as follows: ' "The fire marshal and designated inspectors of the fire department shall have the powers of a police officer in performing their duties under this Code, including the ' authority to issue misdemeanor citations for violations of the provisions of this Code or for failure to comply with orders and notices issued pursuant to section 2.204 below." The following sentence is added to section 2.205: "Nothing in this section shall be construed as creating a prerequisite or precondition to the issuance of a misdemeanor citation pursuant to section 2.205; such misdemeanor citations may be issued prior to, subsequent to, or in conjunction with the orders and notices as set forth in section 2.204 above." Section 2.302 is deleted. The following is added to section 4.104: "The fire marshal may require that the inspection be performed by qualified persons at the owner's expense, if proper inspection is beyond the expertise of the fire marshal or requires equipment not possessed by the fire marshal.

This rapid increase in ridership, coupled with the elimination of park and ride lots along ' major roadways, has greatly affected our ability to provide adequate park and ride facilities. ' The Southwest Metro Transit Commission recently hired the consulting firms of LSA Design and Hoisington Group Inc. to help formulate interim and long-term plans for creating park and ride lots for our express route service. Another goal of this study is to coordinate our plans for park and ride lot development with major transportation efforts ' underway in our area (such as T.H. 212). Southwest Metro's future plans for park and ride lot development must carefully ' consider highway construction projects and plans for light rail transit. These factors are of prime consideration in determining the location, number, size, design, timing, and cost of park and ride lots. In addition, we believe that a planning strategy increases the likelihood that our plans will support and be supported by metropolitan area-wide ' transit solutions. The Southwest Metro Transit Commission is requesting your help in working with your ' City Council, Planning Commission, and staff to obtain their input on the proposed plan. This plan will include the formation of potential strategies to use in developing park and ride lots including land acquisition, use of exactions, ordinance provisions, and ' relationship to the City's comprehensive guide plans. Enclosed is information about the study. I would like to work with you to set a date for presentation to the Chanhassen Planning Commission. I will contact you in a few days. Thank you very much for your assistance. ' cc: Paul Krauss Sharmin Al-Jaff ' Jo Ann Olson APR 2 41990 wit uF CHANHASSEN • -- -- ,s ,, i ...,, . 0 . ,,...„ , LAND USE CONSULTANTS . .

We have determined that the proposed amendment has no potential impact upon any of the metropolitan system plans. Therefore, the city may place the amendment into effect immediately. However, beyond an initial determination of no potential impact, the Council has 60 days from receipt of a proposed amendment to review and comment upon the apparent consistency of the proposed amendment with the adopted chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide. The 60-day period ends on June 10, 1990. Within that 60-day period, Council staff will complete its review and forward comments to the city prior to consideration by the Metropolitan and Community Development Committee.

Dear Mr. Olson: IThis letter is sent to inform you that the Carver County Board of Commissioners on April 24th did adjust the 1990 highway department I construction program to include the rough grading of CSAH 17 between Lyman Boulevard and Lake Drive West to acommodate a future four-lane roadway. This action was taken in response to the letter I dated April 9, 1990, from Mr. Molinaro of Pioneer Engineering outlining your company's commitment to provide 110,000 cubic yards of material for this project. The Carver County Highway Department's present intent is to open bids for this grading project near the end of June. To meet this objective we will immediately begin to prepare the necessary II documents. One of these documents will be a borrow agreement with your company for the 110,000 cubic yards of soil you are providing. Bill Heckman of our office will be contacting you about this agreement in the near future. Also, Bill will be responsible for IIthe preparation of the other construction documents for this county project. Therefore, please contact either Bill or myself regarding any questions you may have. IThank you for your cooperation in advancing this cooperative effort to improve CSAH 17 in the area of your development.

We have asked members of the clergy', members of Public Safety, members of the Sheriff 's Department , '-students of both high schools and any interested citizen to_participate in the commit- tee. I don' t anticipate that the meeting will last any more than an hour to an hour and a half and hopefully we will be able to accomplish what we need in that amount .of time.

To initiate the program, the City was only requiring haulers to provide certain residences with curbside collection of recyclables. Due to requests from apartment complexes and businesses, the City is now requiring all licensed haulers to provide weekly collection of recyclables to apartment complexes and businesses in Chanhassen. Any haulers who have contracts with apartment complexes in Chanhassen will be required to provide containers for recyclables near the existing dumpster sites, or wherever it is deemed appropriate between the hauler and the apartment manager. The location and provision of recycling containers must be convenient for the resident to participate in weekly recycling. Any haulers that have contracts with businesses in Chanhassen will also be required to provide curbside collection of recyclables. Again, it will be up to the hauler and business to determine the best way to provide collection of recyclables which will accommodate both the business and the hauler. The City is requiring the collection of recyclables from apartments and businesses in Chanhassen to be in place within 90 days or no later than Monday, July 30, 1990. The targeted recyclables which must be collected include -glass of any color, newspaper and cans. and bi-metal. i w... In the next few months the City will also be researching a means of providing businesses in Chanhassen to recycle office paper. This may include organizing local businesses and requesting a bid for a contract with one hauler for collection of office paper. The Solid Waste Ordinance also requires licensed haulers in Chanhassen to submit records on a quarterly basis. The quarterly report shall be on a form provided by the City (enclosed) on or before the 20th day of the month following the close of the quarter. The report shall identify the estimated weight of each type of collected recyclable and shall also distinguish residential collection tonnage from commercial/industrial tonnage. The report shall also include a brief description of how the reported weights were calculated. The ordinance also requires haulers to charge their customers with a volume base fee. As part of the first quarterly report, the haulers must include their fees for service which must be volume based (i.e. a certain charge per can) . The City has received many compliments about the new recycling program and appreciates your effort towards making the program successful. Please call us should you have questions or comments. The Chanhassen Recycling Commission is still meeting on a regular basis and you are always welcome and encouraged to attend. The next meeting is on Tuesday, May 22, 1990, at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall.
